Do you know that at least 45 million people of all ages have the herpes virus. That is equal to one out of five adults. Is it possible to completely cure herpes? Unfortunately no, at least not yet.

Once you have contracted the virus it never leaves your body. The herpes virus lives silently in the nerve endings at the base of the brain and in the spinal cord. This is a real nasty virus.

Is there any proven treatment to control herpes naturally? Fortunately yes, there is good news.

You don't need to take prescription drugs which are very expensive and have a host of side effects. Alternatively, there are many options to bring this persistent and painful condition under control. It would take some work from you to change your life style. These proven methods work on oral, facial and genital herpes, shingles and mouth ulcers.

Let me share my story with you.

Many years ago I was foolish enough to have unprotected intercourse. Neither of us had any protection, but my girlfriend ushered me that she was free of any diseases. I realise now how naive I was. Maybe she really didn't know because of the early stage of infection. But that was no consolation to me since I contracted genital herpes from her. It's terrible and and worst of all it's irreversible.

I felt like my future was going down the drain. I was going through hell and I felt ashamed to tell my best friend and even to go to the doctor. I kept my shame to myself hoping it will go away on its own. I got to a point where I could hardly walk because of the pain, itching and burning. I knew I had to get some help and that's when I learned what I actually contracted.

The medication that was prescribed helped me some, but the side effects were so horrible. While I was taking it, I felt sick, dizzy, nauseated and felt like fainting. After this I tried a different medication, but this one made me hallucinate. My life became a living nightmare. It was bad enough to live with genital herpes and mental frustration so the last thing I needed was a drug that causes hallucinations.

After a while my best friend noticed that I was not the same. He wanted to help and was curious to know what was bothering me. I finally told him my bad experience. He told me that maybe his aunt would be able to help me because she was suffering from genital herpes for a long time. She was keeping the virus under control with proven natural remedies.

I learned from her which foods to eat that discourage outbreaks. She explained to me that to be able to keep the virus at bay I would have to make some major changes in my lifestyle. She showed me what she uses and how to get rid of genital herpes or at least control it.

The combination of the following is what works for me and best of all without side affects.

1. I pay close attention to my hygiene, more than I ever did before. Now don't get me wrong; I was not a dirty person but there are different ways of being clean.

2. I make sure that my underwear are only cotton. I use organic based laundry detergent just for my underwear and I only sun dry them.

3. I don't wear heavy or tight pants or jeans and I change them often.

4. I use an herbal based, non-toxic and odorless product from Australia called "Charaphor." This is a topically applied product.

5. I stopped using sugar completely because sugar acts as a fertiliser for the herpes virus and it's also hard on the kidneys. Instead of sugar, I use unfiltered, organic raw honey in moderation. Honey is known for its antiseptic qualities.

6. To boost my immune system I use a "non-synthetic" blend of vitamins and minerals. I also take amino acids and a variety of herbal teas.

7. Avoid stress as much as possible. I noticed that when I am stressed out the virus starts to resurface. Stress breakes down the immune system. To combat stress, I set aside 30 minutes a day to listen to some meditative music or sounds of nature.

During my years of research of the herpes virus I have learned of many more helpful ways of keeping the virus at bay. To avoid the side effects and the dangers of prescription drugs, I only searched for natural treatments.

The herpes virus must not be taken lightly and it is crucial to keep your immune system in top condition at all time. I know that this may mean a huge change in your lifestyle, it did for me, but this is much easier than having to suffer. Until someone discovers a complete cure, which I believe will happen soon, I and many others feel that this is the best and proven method of treating herpes.

Love in a Time of Herpes

Love in a Time of Herpes

I was born in 1965- a year often considered the first year of "generation-x". The previous generation- the baby-boomers like my parents, grew up in a time of free love. My mother didn't take advantage of this but my father sure did, but that's another story.

Us gen-x'ers were the first generation to have to deal with AIDS and the fallout from it. Instead of the sexual revolution we had fear and loathing in our own pants.

Now as a Holistic Herpes Treatment Specialist I treat a lot of teenagers and people in the early twenties who are exploring their sexuality in a time were we are no longer nearly as afraid of AIDS as we were in the eighties but where almost everyone has herpes. I often see girls as young as 15 who already have herpes and who got it from their first sexual experience. No one told them they could get herpes from fellatio. No one told them much of anything about sexually transmitted infections. It's a sad sad thing to have to tell a teenager that they now have a life-long incurable disease and have to warn potential sex partners about it beforehand. This sentence drives many to the brink of despair. One 17 year old who got herpes from her first and only sex partner was crying hysterically on the phone with me, asking how in her small town of 1500 people can she tell anyone that she has herpes? She said she won't date or have sex again until she moves far away, and I believe her.

With oral sex being as common as hand-shakes used to be, why aren't we educating grade school students about sexually transmitted infections? Very few of the most at-risk population know that they can catch or pass on herpes when there are no signs of an outbreak. They don't know that they can get herpes on their genitals from contact with people who get cold sores on their mouth. They aren't empowered to say no way when they encounter sores and rashes and are told that "they are nothing".

Further exasperating the situation is the porn industry being a bad role model. Like myself and most my generation, young people these days get a lot of their sex education from being exposed to porn. In the adult film industry condoms are almost never worn during oral sex and only worn during anal and oral sex about 40% of the time. I did three years of research into the adult film industry and learned that porn performers are tested monthly or more often for HIV but are rarely tested for herpes or HPV. Very few porn performers admit their herpes infections for fear of losing work and a backlash from their fans. What kind of society do we live in where even porn performers are afraid to admit that they have herpes?

My older patients don't tend to fare much better than the younger ones. They don't know the facts about love in a time of herpes and most didn't do much to try and educate themselves. And for the ones that do try to educate themselves through the internet they are confronted with a wilderness of websites saying many contradictory things, spreading a lot of misinformation and luring people with magical quick-fixes and snake oils. The message doesn't seem to be getting out to people that there are no quick-fixes for a life-long viral infection, that herpes cannot be managed with topical oils, or creams or liquids and that herbal medicine or drug therapy combined with proper diet, stress reduction and making peace with herpes are the only ways I have seen in my 15 years of experience to successfully manage herpes over the long-haul.

Because the fear of catching the HIV virus isn't what it used to be, too many people are becoming complacent about practicing safer sex. Many tell me they don't want to use condoms because of the lack of spontaneity. Many want the risk and pleasure of unprotected sex. I can relate to all of this, I don't particularly like condoms myself. But in this day and age it is not smart to have unprotected sex with someone you are not very sure you are in a monogamous relationship with. Unless this is the case do use a condom/dental dam or anti-viral gel or better yet use them both together. Oral sex is sex and is risky sex so do practice safer sex with fellatio and cunnilingus as well.

Before the sex comes the sex-conversation. A conversation many people never have before getting together. It is your right and responsibility to ask a potential sex partner what their history of sexually transmitted infections is, and use your best lie-detecting skills when listening. You must volunteer the same information yourself. Please do understand that most people have never had a real herpes test in their life. Regular STD testing panels do not test for herpes or genital warts. Swabbing is an unreliable way of testing for herpes. So unless your potential sex partner has had a recent type-specific serum blood test for herpes like the western-blot test, they have no way of knowing if they have herpes or not and so then neither do you.

Unless someone has had a recent herpes test, I recommend that you assume that they have herpes and use a condom/dental dam combined with an anti-viral prophylactic gel. Government statistics show that anyone who has had more than 2 sex partners has a 20% chance of having herpes. More than four sex partners gives you a 40% chance of having herpes and more than 6 sex partners gives you a 60% chance of having herpes. And of course herpes is only one of many sexually transmitted infections a person could have.

I invite you to read my articles called "I have Herpes, Don't You" and "The Demonization of Genital Herpes".

If anyone is elusive or sketchy about wanting to discuss their sexual health it's best to assume that they have something they are trying to hide. I don't mean to sound harsh or cynical- I'm an idealist by nature, but I have listened to too many of my patients grieving over the fact that they were deceived by the person who infected them with herpes. You lose nothing by being careful and looking out for your own best interests.

In both the swinger and BDSM communities people are reluctant to admit to casual sex partners that the have herpes for fear of "ruining the party" or being excluded. It is rarely discussed at sex clubs, at orgies, or "play parties". People are having sex with others without warning them that they have herpes. Out of fairness I must state that some people in these communities do advise potential sex partners that they have herpes-but they are in the minority. I have seen very few leaders in these communities publically discuss herpes awareness. Again I find it very vexing and disappointing that even the most sexually adventurous people in our society are afraid to talk about herpes or are too complacent about it.

I know it's a bummer but this is the reality of love and sex in a time of herpes. Love and love abundantly, but please be careful out there.
