How To Get Rid of Cold Sores
Fast
Get rid of a cold sore the quick and easy way
by Denny Bodoh
In this
article you will discover how to get rid of cold sores
quickly, easily and safely - and how to avoid wasting time and money on products
that do not help.
First, let us
look at
what causes
cold sores.
Cold sores are
the result of activity by the herpes simplex virus, type I or type II.
This is a
lifetime virus. Once infected, it will stay hidden within us for life. It lies
dormant within the cells at the base of a nerve fiber.
Because of its
durability and highly contagious nature, the
cold sore virus is carried by nearly 90% of
the adult world population. Like many other viruses and bacteria, we cannot
avoid them but we can keep them at bay.
Prescription
drugs have been a dismal failure in dealing with this virus. The herpes virus
quickly adapts and becomes immune to these fabricated anti-viral compounds. This
is similar to antibiotics - they have to keep coming up with new ones to replace
those that no longer work.
Most
over-the-counter remedies are best for helping to treat the discomfort.
However, do not
expect these options to shorten the duration by any measurable degree, or
prevent future attacks.
There are many
web sites that offer oils or salves they claim will
cure cold sores fast.
Here are
three points about these
cold sore treatment products you should keep in mind.
1.
They are expensive.
You
will have to keep ordering and spending more money.
2.
By the time you
order and get a product, the sore is usually gone. Now you save it for the
next time - maybe a couple months from now. If it doesn't work, it is too
late to send back for a refund - and not worth the hassle anyway.
3.
Unfortunately, too many folks have written and expressed disappointment with
these products and their claims. These should be tried as a last resort - if
nothing else works for you.
Save your
time. Save your money.
If you want the best return
on your money, buy a complete, proven treatment plan using natural remedies.
Then you are good for life, rather than buying a single product that you
have to keep buying.
The truth is
natural
cold sore home remedies continue to out-perform all the fabricated
salves, ointments, oils and pills. These remedies are very cheap (or free) and work in as little
as two days. You always have what you need on hand or can get it at the local
store in minutes.

ARE YOU
FED UP
WITH COLD SORES?
Here is a complete cold sore treatment plan that you can use.
It honestly can't get any better, cheaper or easier than this ..........
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is
how to get rid of cold sores
the quick and easy way according to many experienced sufferers.
1. Regularly
cleanse the area with hydrogen peroxide.
Peroxide is
basically highly oxygenated water. The extra oxygen molecules shed off to your
skin and are absorbed into the infected tissue. This helps to chase the virus
away.
Oxygen is
critical for mending tissue (healing your wound quickly). This also raises the
pH of the area, which interferes with viral activity. It is truly a miracle in a
bottle for
treating a cold sore and many other skin problems.
2. Apply
some form of peppermint oil.
Peppermint is
extremely powerful in making
cold sores
vanish quickly. It depends on the circumstances but I have seen seen healing in
as little as two to three days.
You can buy
peppermint oil capsules at the vitamin store. They are great for digestion and
deodorizing the body inside and out. Also, each capsule is perfect for one
application. Simply prick and squeeze the oil right onto your sore.
If it is too
strong for your skin, you may want to dilute it first with olive oil. One
mixture that works very well is a mixture of garlic, peppermint and olive oil.
An excellent
recipe is one part garlic oil, two parts peppermint oil and 3 parts extra-virgin
olive oil. Mix in some baking soda or powdered Stevie (an alkalizer and natural
sweetener) and apply as a salve (after you cleanse with Peroxide first).
You can make
this even better by crushing your own fresh garlic and peppermint leaves. If you
have access to herbal lemon balm, by all means add it too.
3. Get some
lysine capsules.
Lysine is is one
of the safest and most effective
cold sore remedies you will find. Any
good cold sore treatment plan must have one or more internal remedies as part of
the overall strategy.
Not only does
lysine boost the effects of the topical treatments, but it hits the virus hard
from behind. Most people use lysine capsules because they are so cheap and
convenient. Some foods very rich in lysine include all dairy products and the
fish Flounder.
Most people,
when using capsules, consume three to six grams throughout each day. They
continue this therapy until the
sore is totally healed. You may also want to look into
foods that prevent cold sores which are high lysine dietary choices.
The sooner you start, the better the results.
Many people have prevented
cold sores from erupting by beginning Lysine at the first tingling
sensation.
Without a doubt,
the above 3-step plan has worked wonders for a multitude of people. It has saved
dates, weddings and special social events of all sorts.
The key to beating cold
sores is not one remedy but a complete strategy using multiple methods.
That is truly how to get rid
of cold sores fast.
Every person who
is subject to cold sores should develop a strategic plan. A single
miracle product will not do the job by itself. There are two many aspects of
these outbreaks to ever depend on just one topical remedy.
As I referred to
earlier, a sound
cold sore treatment plan must be comprised of both external
and internal remedies. A topical oil or cream may be great, but will
never give you the satisfactory results you want. It is only a small part of the
big picture.
This is a small web site, but
everything you need is here for your benefit. There are many cold sore remedy
ideas you can try out. We are continually adding new ones as they are reported
to us and fully tested.
Use what you like best and and
add them to your arsenal. Once you have a good treatment plan, you will
certainly know
how to get rid of cold sores
fast.
