COLD SORES
ANNOYING, PAINFUL, UNSIGHTLY, AND DOWNRIGHT FRUSTRATING, COLD SORES WILL OFTEN POP UP AT THE WORST TIME. BUT IF YOU'RE PRONE TO THEM, THERE ARE SUPPLEMENTS YOU CAN TAKE THAT CAN HELP REDUCE FLARE UPS...
Cold sores are the result of an infection with herpes simplex virus. This highly contagious virus is usually contracted in childhood through skin contact.
The virus then lies dormant in the body and only produces sores when triggered.
Triggers for cold sores are individual but some of the more common triggers are exposure to cold, wind or sun, food allergies, a decreased immune system due to other infections or stress and hormonal fluctuations.
Initially, a cold sore will present a tingling or burning sensation around the lips. This is the cold sore forming. The next stage is the formation of a red bump that itches and turns into a blister filled with fluid. Next, the blister will break and form a crust which indicates that the infection is no longer contagious. These breakouts usually last for approximately 10 days and will occasionally develop multiple sores. Along with these sores will be a mild fever and fatigue.
Dietary help for preventing and treating cold sores involves decreasing the amino acid arginine in the diet. arginine is used by the virus for replication. Avoid arginine rich foods such as nuts, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, peas, lentils, oats, corn, buckwheat, barley, chocolate and coconut.
Also increase the lysine content of the diet because lysine inhibits herpes virus replication. Lysine rich foods include fish especially halibut, shrimp, poultry, milk, lima beans, mung bean sprouts and yeast.
Avoid foods that decrease the immune system like white flour and sugar products and trans-fat products like margarine and shortening.
Use immune boosting foods like flaxseed oil, raw fruits and vegetables, pumpkin seeds, wheat germ and seafood.
Physical treatments for boosting the immune system include: alternating hot and cold water at the end of your shower (always ending with cold), regular exercise, relaxation exercises and dry skin brushing. Topical treatment of cold sores can be done with colloidal silver, licorice extract, vitamin E oil, and creams containing vitamin C and zinc. All of these treatments help to kill the virus and heal the skin.
