Getting Rid of Cold Sores
by Denny Bodoh
Have you tried
many of the over-the-counter treatments for getting rid of cold sores and been
disappointed?
If so, you are not alone.
Experts agree that most of the drug store
treatments are primarily for comfort, but do not expect them to shorten the
duration of your cold sore.
They may
claim that they are effective for getting rid of cold sores but don't be fooled.
The herpes virus that causes cold sores is a tough and aggressive virus.
Most of your life the
herpes virus lives in hibernation - which is a good thing. It won't hurt
you when it is latent.
When the virus senses the opportunity
is right, though, it
moves very quickly to the surface of your skin - most commonly lip or nose.
This parasite virus will
replicate there, destroying millions of your nerve cells in the process.
Take a look at these natural ways of getting rid of cold sores. You will
find (unlike man-made chemicals) the virus does not seem to become immune to
natural remedies.
Building your
immune system against
cold sores-
First - a good multi-vitamin should be the base of any cold sore treatment program.
It will supercharge any other treatment you use. But you must use high quality supplements or you are just wasting your money.
Discouraging the virus helps in getting rid of cold
sores before they start-
Making the target area unfriendly to the herpes virus is your first
step. The herpes virus cannot go through the duplication process when the area
is cold.
Herpes virus hates cold. Put ice on the target spot. This can prevent
or greatly reduce the duration of the outbreak.
Also,
avoid acid foods such as citrus, tomatoes and vinegar (salad dressings).
The virus loves acid and will be much more active if the area is acid. Do
not get any acid foods or juices on the sore area.
Cleansing the cold sore wound -
Alcohol works as good today as it did 3000 years ago. Great invention - alcohol.
Using a cotton ball or swab, keep cleaning the sore often.
Even vodka works great. Each time you do, you will be wiping away millions of virus. The less virus, the quicker
the healing.
Heal the cold sore wound fast-
Once the herpes virus has done the damage, the speed of healing depends on a
couple things. Your healing speed will depend, first and foremost, on the level
of your health.
Also, your body will heal faster if it has the proper healing
factors for repairing the damage - vitamins and minerals. Taking a high
quality multi-vitamin, along with extra lysine, will greatly
speed healing. You will be quite amazed actually.
Also, many folks
get rid of cold sores by applying fresh-from-the-plant Aloe Vera gel. Aloe Vera
has factors that help the body restore skin very quickly. Be sure to use
alcohol before using Aloe Vera or you could heal right over the infection.
Preventing
cold sores-
Discovering how
to get rid of cold sores can be very easy. Preventing them is even easier. It
really is effortless with the method I use.
I used to get about 4-6 cold
sores per year before I stumbled on this quick and easy cold sore remedy.
I haven't had a herpes outbreak in over four years.
