Cold Sore Cure - Real or Hype?


Herpes:

Some medical experts claim there is no cold sore cure. Yet you will see many other health professionals claim that there actually is a cure for cold sores. Who can you believe? Who is right?

THEY ARE BOTH RIGHT. The confusion starts to clear up when you realize that they are not talking about the same thing.

When my friends at Mayo state there is no cure for cold sores, they are talking about the root cause of cold sores - the herpes simplex type 1 virus that has invaded the body. They are stating, quite truthfully, there is currently no way to remove this cold sore causing herpes virus once you are infected.

The herpes virus, when it is not busy causing cold sores, is hiding in the nerve cells in the nerve ganglia below the surface. This sub-microscopic virus hides so well even the immune soldiers cannot find them. If the cells could be identified, they would have to be destroyed to eradicate the virus.

Nearly everybody carries the cold sore virus, according the Center for Disease Control. It is so contagious that even if science could eliminate the virus from your body, you would quickly catch it again.

BUT THOSE WHO SAY THERE EXISTS A COLD SORE CURE ARE RIGHT TOO!

You see - doctors have always claimed a cure when they eliminate the symptoms of a disease. For example, in many cases, a type 2 diabetic, by eating right and taking the right herbs and vitamins, can eliminate the outward symptoms of diabetes (like I did). As long as no symptoms exist, the diabetic is considered cured.

All diseases are based on the manifestation of the symptoms of that disease. No symptoms mean no disease. The same is true with cold sores. There are many symptoms with cold sores, but the main symptom is the actual sore on your face.

So, a cold sore cure, by medical definition then, is a treatment that eliminates the cold sore symptoms - the actual cold sore outbreaks - now and in the future.

To wait until there is a cold sore cure that will get rid of the virus itself will be a long wait indeed. The only way we will discover a cold sore cure today will be to find a remedy that eliminates and prevents the cold sore blister.

Did you know? About 44% of those carrying the herpes virus never get cold sores. Some lucky people have a built in cold sore cure and will never experience a cold sore. Others, like us, have to work at preventing cold sores.

A large selection of very good cold sore treatment options are available. Most drug store over-the-counter cold sore remedies are primarily comfort treatments and will do little to heal or prevent cold sores. Do not give up. You are a unique, one-of-a-kind person. What works for others may not work for you.

The fact is, there exists a cold sore cure for you. It may be as simple as taking a vitamin and mineral supplement daily, or a maintenance dosage of lysine. You must experiment with different cold sore treatments, perhaps combining them, to discover your personal cold sore cure.
