Getting rid of cold sores without antivirals
Herpes outbreaks often occur as a result of too much
arginine in the body and not enough
lysine to balance it out. Cutting back on dietary sources of
arginine like chocolate, nuts, seeds, and beans can cut down on recurrences. Another way of doing the same job is to supplement extra lysine.
Other nutrients, such as selenium, low-dose lithium, vitamin C, and flavonoids, can also inhibit the herpes virus.
