Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Herpes / November 2005My "Cure"
Okay, I have genital herpes and have had it for over twenty years. I use no medications. You are wasting your money. There is no cure. I may have stumbled on a key to a cure however, and this always heals my blisters completely within 24 hours. I go for many months, sometimes years, without an OB. I have had sex with the same partner for twenty years and never transmitted the disease to her. Now that I have your attention, please, this is not a joke or a prank. I want you all to give honest feedback to this thread after you try this so others will know it is no prank. My cure is simply the juice from a jalepeno pepper. Yes it burns, but only for a couple of minutes. Believe me, it is worth the minor pain. What I don't know and would like to is if it works for women too. It may be too much for women to bear. I also know from eating Jalepeno peppers that black olives cut the burn immediately. If you are skeptical, go to your local deli and get a salad with both peppers and olives in it. If you are a woman I would keep the olives handy in case it is too painful for you. Good luck all. Just for the record, a "cure" is generally thought of as "elimination" of the virus from the body. Or at the very least, elimination of all future viral shedding. That includes asymptomatic shedding as well as outbreaks. Sounds like what you are talking about could be considered a "treatment" (just want to get us all on the same page). > I use no >medications. You are wasting your money. You know what they say about opinions, and you're entitled to yours. >There is no cure. Exactly. > had sex with the same partner for twenty years and never >transmitted the disease to her. Congrats. Mind if we quote you on that? We have questions about that very issue from newbies as well as H-negatives considering involving themselves with herpsters. Everybody's looking for answers to the "risk" question. >My cure is simply the juice from a jalepeno pepper. There's a guy here named Perl who's probably already tried that. And if he hasn't by now, I'm sure he will. >It may be too much for women to bear. oh jeeeze... do you realize the risk you're running with an inflammatory remark like that? We'll have the whole NOW membership in here protesting sexism and the whole "women can take more pain" thing. >I also know from eating Jalepeno peppers that >black olives cut the burn immediately. ok... soooooo... black olives cut the pepper burn but... ....what the heck are you supposed to do with the peppers anyway? Eat them? ... or drip the juice on the lesions?? .... and then which are you supposed to do with the black olives? .... and does oil & vinegar come into play here anywhere? >get a salad with both peppers and olives ok so the color of the olives are black. What about the peppers... any particular color better than others? >If you are a >woman I would keep the olives handy in case it is too painful for you. There you go again. I'm tellin' ya, hell hath no fury like a woman accused of not being able to take pain like a man.... they have babies you know. >Good luck all Thanks, you too. M2 I've delivered two babies, each of whom was over 10 pounds. Honestly, I'd take childbirth over a bad herpes outbreak any day! Us older, bigger ladies sometimes have this little problem called "stress incontinence", which is a very bad thing in combination with herpes, believe me. At least when guys have lesions in their groin they are spared the burning from their own urine - although I seem to recall cranberry juice is supposed to reduce the acidity of urine or something like that?? Having a newborn to cuddle makes you forget the pain really quick. Being unable to enjoy the company of this great new guy who seems to think I'm hot (clearly he's gone off his meds...lol)..not so much! By the time this outbreak clears up I'll be back out of commission anyway. <sigh> Hi Diva, I *think* that cranberry juice is supposed to make the urine so acidic that it kills the bacteria causing a UTI. But I really don't remember. I'm sorry you've got this painful outbreak. ar >I've delivered two babies, each of whom was over 10 pounds.

All I can tell you is that it works. Uh ~ NOT me!!! lol Angela ;-) > I've delivered two babies, each of whom was over 10 pounds. Honestly, > I'd take childbirth over a bad herpes outbreak any day! Hi Anon ~ I caught a bit of what you wrote below in some of the other threads. I tend to read from the latest post and go backwards so please bear with me here... > Okay, I have genital herpes and have had it for over twenty years. I use > no medications. You are wasting your money. There is no cure. Just sharing with you a bit here Anon so please don't take offense ~ I have had genital herpes for 10 years. I currently do not use medications. However, I have used clinically proven herpes antiviral medications in the past and do not feel I have wasted my money at all. And you are right when you say that there is no way to wipe out the virus from your body. > I may have stumbled on a key to a cure however, and this always heals my > blisters completely within 24 hours. I go for many months, sometimes > years, without an OB. I have had sex with the same partner for twenty > years and never transmitted the disease to her. Now I'm not doubting what you are sharing here but would like to add that there might be other variables worth considering because we can't always assume everything is how we see it ~ Do you happen to know which type of herpes you have? It could be that the reason why you can go for many months and sometimes years without an outbreak that you can see or feel is because you've had the virus for twenty years. They say that the longer you have the virus the less frequent your outbreaks will be over time. Another reason why you might not be experiencing as many outbreaks is the fact that you might have genital herpes type-1. Genital herpes type-1 tends to be pretty mild compared to Genital herpes type-2. It's possible that these could be reasons why you have gone so long without outbreaks. I'd also like to add that just because you don't have outbreaks that you can see or feel doesn't mean that there isn't any asymptomatic shedding going on. That's always a possibility. As for your partner you probably have not transmitted the virus to her ~ I wouldn't know. But, are you totally sure? When was the last time she was tested for herpes simplex virus? Hopefully she isn't one of those that has the virus and doesn't know it. It's certainly possible ~ right? I am married to a man that doesn't have genital herpes and we've been together since 1998. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have it because the last time he was tested for herpes was back in 1998. We assume he doesn't have it because he hasn't had any outbreaks that he can see or feel but do we really know for sure? No, not really. > Now that I have your attention, please, this is not a joke or a prank.

Use it to your hearts content. > What I don't know and would like to is if it works for women too. It may > be too much for women to bear. I also know from eating Jalepeno peppers [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Good luck all. Thanks for the suggestion ~ I'm currently in my last tri-mester of pregnancy and don't think I will be trying the Jalepeno Juice any time soon. In fact, I'm going to be starting suppressive therapy with clinically proven Valtrex so that I don't get a herpes outbreak at the time of my delivery. Will keep you guys posted on how that turns out... If you want to you can read my herpes bio here: http://www.yoshi2me.com/herpes-biography.html Take Care, Angela ;-)  SignatureInstant Message Anyone? Yahoo! Messenger - yoshi2me http://www.yoshi2me.com/ http://www.herpes-help.blogspot.com/ Hi Anon, I have had genital herpes and genital hpv for years, and I suspect I have had them somewhere around 9 years. Recently (for the past year or so) my symptoms from herpes have been worse than normal, but are coming around. I have tried everything from Valtrex to Tea Tree Oil to Zinc Powder, Lysine and taking alot of vitamins. To be honest it seems that stress is the leading cause for my outbreaks and reducing my stress is what caused a decline in my own outbreaks. As far as pepper juice...I don't know about that one! I'd be afraid it would burn worse than the sores. Al > Hi Anon ~ > [quoted text clipped - 72 lines] > > Angela ;-) Al, I wonder how many people have read this thread. By now, someone out there has tried it. This is no hoax. Yes this treatment hurts, but no more than the sores themselves, and no more than the pain we carry in knowing it is chronic. The pain from the treatment only lasts about ten minutes. I realize that there are many associated diseases that can exhibit similar symptoms. I'm not saying that this is a cure or a cure-all. I am saying this works. If this treatment works for you, or if it doesn't, please let others here know about your experience. I am not selling this, and I am not looking to be anybody's hero. It's a fact that it works for me. Its worth a shot I suppose, but the reality is that most of my outbreaks include little in the way of painful sores. Most are little more than aching in the groin, and itchy/pinchy pimple like blisters on the inner thighs. When I get one of my more painful sore types, I may give it a try. > Al, > I wonder how many people have read this thread. By now, someone out there [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > about your experience. I am not selling this, and I am not looking to be > anybody's hero. It's a fact that it works for me. Ill try it. Im not worried the pain :)). I just wondering if warts eve go compleatly away? Mine have never hurt and have always been verry hard to even see. But they have stayed? Do theyyyyy leave in all or is some type of scareing left forever? Ty Are you talking about genital warts (hpv)? I have that and have had that for 9 years now. They come and go, sometimes on their own or after treatments. In any case they have never stayed away completely. Mine don't really hurt either but sometimes if you rub the warts they can feel a little sore and sometimes a little itchy, but not as bad as with herpes. I have had two kinds of warts, the larger mole types that are fleshy looking and the clusters of tiny ones that look like blisters. The fleshy ones are probably up to 1/4" in in diameter, and the cluster types are each the size of the head of a pin or less. No they don't scar, and I have heard rumors from some people that say they have had treatments and then the warts never returned. I think it is possible for the warts to stop returning, but I understand that this virus stays in your body forever just as genital herpes does. Genital warts (hpv) also is transmitted through symptomatic and asymtomatic shedding through skin to skin contact. > Ill try it. Im not worried the pain :)). I just wondering if warts eve > go compleatly away? Mine have never hurt and have always been verry > hard to even see. But they have stayed? Do theyyyyy leave in all or is > some type of scareing left forever? Ty Yes mine are the lil cluster. I just want them gone if its posible. If i need to get on a tretment to do so np. Just concerned if the warts stay. Im involved with a woman and she knows the situation. And is behind me 100% to date:P If the warts can be gone out of site that would be super. If not ill deal. Iv not been tested but plan to asap. ty I think if you have the larger ones, and they are on the groin, the doctor will probably use liquid nitrogen or laser, but laser is much more expensive, so make sure you have health coverage for that one. Mine was covered and it was in the $400.00 range for the laser. Nitro treatments tend to be under $100.00 in the USA anyway. The nitro treatments were done by a dermatologist who originally diagnosed me with hpv and herpes. The laser was done by a urologist. If the warts were smaller and right on the penis like mine are, the doctor wanted to give me Aldara cream, but I never opted for it. I probably should have, just didn't do it yet. > Yes mine are the lil cluster. I just want them gone if its posible. If > i need to get on a tretment to do so np. Just concerned if the warts > stay.
