How To Heal Cold Sore

• Vitamins and Minerals:
  The Very First Thing You Should Do. 
  
  Begin taking a HIGH QUALITY vitamin and mineral nutritional supplement!  This should be the basis of any cold sore treatment plan for anybody who gets cold sores. 
  
  Any additional method you use to heal or prevent cold sores will work 400% better and faster when your body has the nutrients it needs to do the job. 
   

• Lysine and Arginine:  More Lysine, Less Arginine.
  
  Many folks eat high lysine foods and avoid high arginine foods prior to or during a cold sore event. For others, healing cold sores fast has been as simple as taking 3,000 to 4,000 milligrams of lysine during an outbreak. 
  
  Most any drug store or vitamin store has this real cheap.  I do not recommend taking lysine long term to prevent cold sores as your body will build a tolerance to it and it won't work as well should you need to heal one quickly.  
  
  High lysine foods are most meats and dairy products. Cheese, milk and yogurt are excellent. High arginine foods to avoid would be nuts, seeds, grains, and chocolate.  (no chocolate? OUCH)  I won't give up chocolate - I just balance it with more dairy products.
   

• Raise the pH of the Cold Sore:
  
  The herpes virus creates the cold sore when the target area is in an acid state.  The cold sore virus needs an acid environment.
  
  For tip-top health, your pH balance should be around 7.4, which is slightly alkaline. Anything below 7 on the pH scale, then your system is turning acid.
  
  Any stress, flu, colds, or too much sun will cause your body to move toward the acid side of normal.  The B, C and E vitamins (in your good vitamin supplement that you are now taking - religiously - every day - without fail :-) helps fight the effects of stress in a big way. 
  
  And the minerals, such as calcium, really help to keep your pH normal. 
  
  Avoid getting acid foods on the cold sore area.  Common offending acid foods are tomatoes, citrus, carbonated soda, coffee or anything with vinegar.  Any acid will slow down healing.
   

• Preventing cold sores much easier than healing them!
