Cold Sore Cures - Stopping Cold Sores Immediately
Oct 14th, 2008 by Denny Bodoh
Have questions about cold sore cures? If you will let me, I would like to share with you exactly what we know about cold sore cures.
You have probably heard some experts state that there are no cold sore cures.
They feel that cold sore cures must be able to remove the herpes simplex virus from the body. And there is no known way to do that.
Correct are they in one way. The herpes simplex virus is definitely with you for life. There are no cold sore cures that can remove the virus from your body.
The herpes virus is very contagious, tough and is very good at hiding in your nerve cells. Even if you could get rid of this virus, you would likely just catch it again. Nearly 90% of the people around you carry the virus.
ARE THERE ACTUALLY COLD SORE CURES THAT WORK?
If we can’t get rid of the herpes virus, why are there experts claiming to have cold sore cures?
Experts that claim cold sore cures are real are talking about removing and preventing the symptoms of cold sores. This is common in medical circles. You get rid of the symptoms of a disease and you have cured it.
Here is a good example. The doctor is able to remove all symptoms of a your cancer. He then declares you cured. He did not remove all the cancer cells. He can’t. We all carry cancer cells in our body every day.
Why should it be any different for cold sores? It is very possible to cure and prevent the symptoms, as you will see shortly.
FACT - cold sore cures are real. Whether you are looking for a way to cure an immediate cold sore, or to cure yourself of getting cold sores in the future, there are successful tactics and methods you can use.
Amazing but true, your body has built-in cold sore cures. If you get a cold sore, your body will get rid of it without any help from you. It just takes longer. You can easily cut the duration time in half with your personal cold sore treatment package.
You create new cold sore anti-bodies each time an infection occurs. These troops will destroy or keep the virus latent. These cold sore soldiers will destroy the virus if they can, or keep them in hibernation.
There are well-documented cold sore cures that you will find to be of great help.
WHAT ARE THE BASIC COLD SORE CURES?
The first thing you should do is build a strong foundation for other remedies to work successfully. Take a high quality daily vitamin supplement. Do not waste money on those one or two per day vitamin rip-offs.
Make sure to take in between 1000 and 2000 milligrams of calcium, and 400 milligrams of magnesium. Your body will be more alkaline, which helps keep the herpes virus inactive. Cold sores occur when your body is slightly acid.
Take lysine supplements or eat high lysine foods. Lysine is a protein that the herpes virus cannot use. In effect, lysine starves out a cold sore by stopping the virus cold.
Apply garlic oil to the cold sore area. The best is to use crushed fresh garlic, but you can get garlic oil in capsules. You just cut the end off of the capsule and apply.
Garlic is powerful medicine against just about any virus, bacteria or fungus. Put it on as soon as you feel the target area itching. It penetrates the skin in minutes. The virus will often flee the area - just like your friends do.
These are just a few of many cold sore cures you can try. I wish I had more room to list them for you. Some work great by themselves. Some work better in combination with others.
WHAT WILL BE THE BEST CURE FOR YOU?
You are unique. What works for others may not work for you. Keep trying and combining different treatments and I guarantee that you will soon discover cold sore cures that will do the job for you.
