Question:
This is the first time I've had a cold sore...or at least
that's what I think it is. I have the other type of herpes.
I took some vitamin C this morning and
L-Lysine (1,000 mg) tonight. I don't want them to develop
any further than they already are (I have two...one right
above my lip line & one next to it but directly on my lip).
I'm so embarrased! I can't even kiss my own
daughter. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
Answer:
I don't get cold sores on my face, I get them in the other place lol, but
enchinacea is supposed to help boost your immune system, might help cut
down the length.
Also, I always like to remind people that your body can only absorb 250 mg.
of Vitamin C at a time, so don't take any more than that in a single does or
it will just be wasted.
Someone here warned about the body getting too much lysine, you may want to
check www.herpes.com and look under the Nutrition link for the
arginine/lysine table so that you can balance yourself in that respect.
