Whether you have a special event soon, or just want your social life back, give me a minute and I will show you how to cure cold sores (oral herpes) in the quickest time.



The herpes simplex virus causes all cold sore outbreaks. It is a parasite virus that hides in your nerve roots.

Stress is a well known trigger in causing a cold sore by activating the virus. Stress can be either physical or mental. This includes illness, injury, or anxiety of a big event.

Because the herpes virus lives in your nerves, it can immediately sense a change in your immunity and pH balance.

When it sees an opportunity, it rushes to the surface for the purpose of replicating new virus.

A cold sore is the collateral damage caused by this reproduction process.

Although your body knows how to cure cold sores, it can be a very long and painful journey. You can shorten or prevent a cold sore with very little effort.

Check out these three cold sore treatment secrets. They will give you the greatest success no matter what other cold sore treatment methods you also use.

1. DON'T FEED THE HERPES VIRUS.

The herpes simplex virus needs the amino acid arginine to make new virus particles. Without arginine, herpes virus replication will not take place.

Arginine, along with lysine, are common proteins found in many foods. Arginine is stored in special receptors within your nerve cells.

Lysine is also stored in these same receptors. There is limited space so more of one means less of the other. The herpes virus cannot use lysine to create new virus. Fact is, it is like pouring water on fire.

The key here is to flood your cells with lysine. The cells will store more of it and expel much of the arginine to make room.

The most common way for you to accomplish this is by taking lysine supplements. Most folks take 3000 to 5000 milligrams per day during an outbreak or just prior to one.

This is a great cold sore treatment - try it.

2. COOL THE COLD SORE FIRE.

As with most pathogens, the herpes simplex virus does best in a warm environment.

At the very first inkling of a pending cold sore, cool down the area immediately. You can use ice, a cold can of soda or a cold anything. Dousing the herpes virus with cold really discourages the reproduction process.

This will delay a cold sore. Or it could even prevent one if you act quickly.

3. KEEP YOUR BODY ALKALINE.

An acid body is probably the biggest contributor to the activation of the herpes virus - and a resulting cold sore.

Your body will try to maintain a slightly alkaline level of 7.4 on the pH scale. It will even rob your bones to do this - it is that important for your healthy life.

Many things, including stress and diet, will cause your pH balance to drop below 7 into the acid zone. This will make you open to many diseases including oral herpes cold sores.

How can you prevent this?

First and foremost, you should begin using a top shelf vitamin program. I prefer Dr. Williams or Dr. Whitaker vitamin packets because they contain optimum amounts of what you need and they are quite convenient.

Look for high levels of B and C vitamins. These are the stress vitamins. They reduce the effects of stress on your body. Vitamin A and E will greatly help your skin and are quite good at helping to prevent disease.

However the most important nutrient for maintaining a healthy alkaline state is the mineral calcium. This is a calming mineral that your body uses to stay alkaline. If you don't get it in your diet, your body takes it from your bones.

Getting a minimum of 1000 milligrams of calcium daily (plus calcium rich foods) is essential if you are serious about curing cold sores.

Avoiding carbonated drink, sugar and white flour is a great help also.

There are many more cold sore treatment measures you can take that work great. And it would be to your advantage to try other things for your best success.

But these three cold sore treatment tactics should form the base when you want to learn further how to cure cold sores in your life. Thank you and good luck.
