I got diagnosed with genital herpes (type 2) about six years back, while I was still in college and had a mindless one-night stand. I understand loads of girls will declare this, but I swear I had certainly not done that sort of thing before. I just made a mistake that one time and all of a sudden it seemed like I was going to have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life. The worst part was feeling I could never date men again. After all, who wants to go out with someone that has sores around her you-know-what? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/36tXb everything got better.
Not only was I able to eliminate all traces of the hsv from my body in less than 21 days, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so fortunate to write that just a week ago, in front of everybody in a packed restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!!! This system provided the opportunity to be happy and experience true love. Now I want to help you too by sharing this with the World.

This is given to cats with herpes and studies shows it helps control their outbreaks. If the cat is going outside perhaps it would help but if it is an indoor cat on a good quality food and regularly visits the vet then it shouldn't need an immuno supporting supplement.

I have never had to do it and it is recommended by several veterinarians in "The Veterinarians' Guide to Natural Remedies for Cats".
That book is published by Three Rivers Press, NY 1999. Thirty veterinarians have contributed to the book. It is available through Amazon for about $10 - probably less if they have a used one.

Yes. I have a cat that had chronic URI problems and gets a pill daily. We also use it at the shelter for cats with chronic problems.
Seems to work for some, not for others.
