Herpes Overview (proper spelling Herpes)
What is Herpes?
Herpes is a common viral infection. It causes oral herpes (cold sores or fever blisters), and genital herpes (genital sores or sores below the waist).
There are two herpes simplex viruses:
• Herpes Simplex Type 1 (HSV-1)
• Herpes Simplex Type 2 (HSV-2)
These viruses look identical under the microscope, and either type can infect the mouth or genitals. Most commonly, however, HSV-1 occurs above the waist, and HSV-2 below.
The body's natural defense system is called the "Immune Responses". Whenever herpes attacks the immune system, the body fights back against this menace. As the battle grows more intense, there are heavy losses by both the herpes virus and the immune system. This causes the body to be less able to defend itself from attacks by other viruses. For those very reasons, a herpes patient should try to keep the herpes virus under control at all times.

HERPES VALUE PACK
More Information!
Dr. Keller specifically designed this package for herpes infections.

There are two widespread attitudes about herpes:
Herpes does not effect any other part of the body.
There is nothing I can do to keep from having an outbreak.
Both attitudes are wrong!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember...
You are not alone. Herpes is estimated to affect some 80 million people in America. At least one in five adults in the United States has genital herpes.
Get more information. The better informed you are about herpes, the easier it will be to manage.
Give yourself the best possible chance to limit recurrences by maintaining general good health and keeping stress to a minimum.
Take care of the affected skin area. Keep the area dry and clean during outbreaks to help healing.
Avoid physical contact with the area from the time of the first symptoms (tingling, itching, burning) until all sores are completely healed, not just scabbed-over. Also be aware of possible shedding or "asymptomatic transmission", even after the sores have healed.
When properly used, latex condoms help reduce your risk of spreading or getting herpes.
Prevent self-infection to other areas of your body. Wash your hands with soap and water if you touch a sore. Better yet, don't touch the sores.
Prospective parents: If either mother or father has genital herpes, or any of the mother's previous sexual partners had genital herpes, tell your doctor about it.
It is possible to get genital herpes from cold sores.
Women with genital herpes: Don't skip your annual Pap smear.
Inform yourself about herpes. For many, diagnosis with herpes can mean a time of confusion, anger, fear and frustration. For many, it seems there is no place to turn for help in dealing with the sensitive aspects of herpes infection. There is help available.
Increase your intake of L-Lysine and decrease the amount of arginine in your diet.
Herpes is spread by direct contact.

It a viral infection, there are 2 types. Cold sores which are found around the mouth and there is genital herpes. Genital herpes can be given to you by having sex or oral sex by an infected person. There is no cure for herpies. Once you're infected you may experience outbreaks at any time, it is also possible to spread herpies even when the symptoms are not present. There are medications to prevent and treat these outbreaks and to minimize your chances of passing on to your partner. Most common medications are Acyclovir and Valtrex.

Just like with any std, you cannot always tell. So use protection. As far as herpies, I'm pretty sure you can get it from skin to skin contact, even when there are no bumps present. So, basically you're screwed.

I had herpes type 2 approximately seven years back, when I was still in college and had a stupid onenight stand. I think a lot of girls will say this but believe me I never did that sort of thing. I jud made a mistake that one time and, suddenly, it seemed like I was going to have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life. The awful part was thinking I would never meet guys again. After all, who wants to go out with a woman who has sores around her you-know-what? But after a friend share this video https://tr.im/mUtqL everything has changed. Not only was I able to remove all traces of the herpes virus from my system in less than three weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met my soul mate and I'm so blessed to say that just last week, in front of everyone in a restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This program gave me the chance to be happy again, and to experience true love.

Herpes is a highly contagious virus that is spread by skin to skin contact. It can cause blisters to form on the mouth (oral herpes) or genitals (genital herpes). It is not usually spread when there is no lesion present although it is possible to get it this way. Symptoms usually appear within 2-20 days after infection but can take longer. Herpes blisters can take from 1-3 weeks to heal.
