Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Any time I start to get a cold sore, I'll gently scrub it with *real soap* on a washrag, and that instantly takes care of it. I don't imagine that the petroleum-detergent " soap " you buy in the store would do any good. Maybe it would. But a massage action seems to help with so many things, and with skin surface problems, a gentle scrubbing is often all I need.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 I have heard that products with L-Lysine in them are extremely good for healing cold sores - many are OTC at the pharmacy for lip cold sores in cream form. Also, Lysine in pill form 1000 mg per day till it goes away and then wean to500 mg a day for about a week. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 L-Lysine at least 1,000 mg/day while symptoms are present. If the person has a history of cold sores, 500 mg/day during the fall and winter should help keep the virus from taking its course. In my experience, the virus causing the cold sore tends to be active when the body is under stress and usually during the fall through winter (about October through March). AVOID and ELIMINATE high Arginine foods during an outbreak (Arginine help the virus replicate): Peanuts, Chocolate, Coconut, Beer, Peas, Soybeans, Oats, Almonds, Whole Wheat, Carob, Gelatin, Seeds, Flour and possibly Wheat Germ. (During the fall and winter months, eat these foods sparingly and if tingling/itching sensation is noted around the mouth take and extra 500 mg of L-Lysine, and obviously eliminate the food from your diet for a while). DO EAT HIGH LYSINE foods you are comfortable eating during an outbreak, such as: beef, Turkey, Cheese, Veggies, Fruit, Potatoes, Beans, Brewers Yeast, Legumes, Fish, Chicken and Lamb. The list I mentioned above came from a source that I cannot recall, but I have had the list with me for a while. Considering I suffer from cold sores, avoiding the Arginine food during the fall and winter and taking a daily intake of 500 mg of L-Lysine per day has worked for me. If I do overdo it with the chocolate goodies around me during Thanksgiving or Christmas and I do start to develop the symptoms of a cold sore I take a morning dose of 1,000 mg of L-Lysine with 500 mg of Vitamin C, then a 500 mg dose at lunch and 500 mg dose at dinner which helped to not have the cold sore develop into a fever blister. Hope this helps. Spunky , " sgtgrannyx4 " <sgtgrannyx4 wrote: > > My daughhter-in-law has had the flu this week and now has a huge cold > sore under > her nose.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Carmex at the first sign of trouble, dries it up almost immediately, or even as a remedy later in the process. -- In wellness, Toni D.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Pure Tea Tree oil (also called Melaleuca oil) works like a charm!!! It needs to be a good, pure brand - whole foods sells a small bottle as well as you can get QUALITY oil other places. But it needs to be the pure oil, it is anti bacterial, anti fungal and anti viral. Your cold sore will last like 2 days instead of a week or longer! Best, Roe PS. One can tell the quality of the oil by the container too. Oil should ALWAYS come in a glass container, and be dark or covered protecting the oil. Like breaks down the oils properties. Do not buy any oil that isn't. ~ Roe www.roe.cellularhealthplan.com v | The greatest gift one can give is the gift of health! v | U U U U U U ~ God is GOOD and Jesus is coming! ~ Cheap Talk?

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 I've discovered recently, as my ten year old son had a cold sore, that Atlas Cedarwood works well too! Dawn E. Gilbreath TRAVEL THE WINDS OF CHANGE AND BE WELL! www.windtravelerwellnessarts.com " When a person mentions the word 'surrender,' it conjures images of white flags on battlefields, of large sums of money changing hands during a corporate buyout, images of a man in a dark alley being mugged, and handing his wallet over to save his life. But surrender isn't about giving up everything one has. Not at all. Surrender is about simply giving everything one has... " -- Anonymous " A shaman never takes on the work of someone else.
