COLD SORES
Stress & the low immunity that it causes can often lead to an outbreak of cold sores. Supplements to reduce stress plus antiviral supplements can decrease frequency & severity.
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.
A cold sore often begins with a tingling or burning sensation around the lips. The sore begins to develop as an itchy red bump and eventually forms a fluid filled blister. When the blister breaks and forms a crust the healing has begun and it is no longer contagious. It usually heals without scarring. The duration of breakout is usually 10 days. Occasionally multiple sores can develop with fatigue and a mild fever.
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.
What You Can Do To Help:
- Take lysine, it's been clinically proven to help
- Control stress with supplents & exercise
- Eat lots of veggies
- Don't drink coffee or cola
