Repeated Cold Sores
Causes and remedies for repeated cold sores.
by Denny

Repeated cold
sores are not fun for anyone. If you get cold sores frequently, such as three or
more per year, then you need to know what recent research has discovered.
You may have a genetic weakness for repeated or severe cold sores, according to
a recent published study. Research at the Utah School of Medicine isolated one
specific gene (C21orf91) that was associated with people in the study who
experienced recurring cold sore attacks.
Research leader, Dr. Kriesel, explained that the c21orf91 gene might have a 21%
influence in repeated cold sores of those infected with this herpes virus. He
emphasized that the real causes of your outbreaks remain environmental.
More specifically, your internal environment will determine the frequency and
severity of your cold sores. These sores always begin inside you, and finally
appear on the surface.
If you are prone to repeated or severe outbreaks, it is likely not this
susceptibility gene, but one (or both) of the internal conditions mentioned
here.
The good news is that you can very easily correct these conditions. Herpes sores
cannot occur if you do so. No matter what topical cold sore remedies you use,
you will not see good results without addressing these internal issues.
1. The
herpes virus must have sufficient Arginine to cause your sore.
Arginine is a simple protein found, in varying degrees, in most foods you
eat. This is the protein needed by the virus to replicate, the by-product of
which are those hated sores.
Over the years, many people have contacted me with sores that would not
heal, that were quite severe or that kept coming back. Quite often, we found
that reducing Arginine in their system reversed the problem quickly - even
in just one day.
The first thing we would do is reduce the intake of Arginine. We would cut
back on foods rich in this protein, such as grains, seeds and some
shellfish.
The next thing is to increase your intake of Lysine. Lysine is an essential
protein also found in most foods you eat. One of its big functions is its
ability to prevent the herpes virus from utilizing the Arginine in your
cells.
Lysine, in effect, suffocates the herpes activity. If you are prone to
outbreaks, you simply need higher levels of this protein than other people
do.
For prevention purposes, foods rich in Lysine include dairy products and
fish. For therapeutic doses during an event, most folks take Lysine capsules
to achieve dosages of two to six grams daily. It is tough to get these
levels by food alone.
2. A low pH balance will encourage all types of disease and herpes
activity.
Your body is truly a fine-tuned machine. It is at its healthiest when your
pH balance is at about 7.4 - which is slightly alkaline. Seven is neutral
and below seven is acid.
At a 7.4 level, your tissues are also at their peak oxygen saturation. If
your pH drops slightly to even a 7.1 level, your tissue oxygen will drop by
as much as 35%. This opens the door to virus attacks.
A number of things will cause your body to acidify. These include stress,
illness and diet. Of these, diet is the biggest offender and one thing we
have total control over.
Acidifying diet choices include processed sugar, white flour and carbonated
drinks. Good alkalizing foods include vegetables, fruits and dairy products.
Society has shifted more toward acid-causing processed foods and we are
paying the price in epidemic levels of cold sores and other diseases.
You may have the
cold sore susceptibility gene c21orf91. If so, it is even more important that
you consider implementing the two methods above.
With or without this gene, many people continue to get repeated cold sores due
to diet or just poor immunity.
You do not deserve to suffer these sores. Start watching your pH balance and
stop feeding the herpes virus the arginine it needs.
Are you ready to start a new life without repeated cold sores?
