Scutellaria (skullcap) does not stimulate the system, but insead acts
against
the viruses themselves.
This makes scutellaria an especially appropriate choice for people who
have autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, and who
sometimes experience flare-ups after treatment with immune stimulants.
It can also protect herpes-damaged skin against secondary infections.

Scutellaria is just a fancy word for "Mint plant" so you could chew a stick
of gum and get the same thing.

Rather is a plant from the Mint (Lamiacea) family, together with
other most efficient antiherpes plants, belonging to the same family:

Prunella Vulgaris (self heal)
Mellisa Officinales (lemon balm)
Mentha Piperita (Peppermint)

http://www.hull.ac.uk/php/ggsrm/hull_plants/lamiacea.htm
LAMIACEAE
Stachys
Ballota
Lamium
Galeopsis
Scutellaria
Ajuga
Glechoma
Prunella
Lycopus
Mentha

It's a whole variety of such herbs and foods, that
impact the herpes, in various ways; some, don't allow the virus
to attach themselves to the cells, some will kill the virus directly,
some will penetrate the skin cells and kill the virus, etc.

Right not I am trying to understand if
the viral traces that supposedly remain in ganglia,
are able to independently become functional herpes viruses
that will travel along the neuronal axon and reach the skin.

My pressumption is that, once all the herpes viruses will be removed
from
their assymptomatic areas, neurons( a few viruses will remain there,
too,
being able to multiply there even) and spinal cord or CNS ( where some
can be located too,
as you can see in this animation:
http://www-ermm.cbcu.cam.ac.uk/99000381h.htm )
then, there would be almost improbable for those traces
to become active viruses.

That is my hope, anyway...

Even when going to a dentist, for a cavity work or other such things,
the viral traces should not be able to become active viruses.
That's what I am trying to find out; that there is an interdependency
between
the traces of viruses remained in ganglia and
other viruses situated in different locations in the body; thus, the
signalling from those viruses (there must be some electro-chemical
type of signalling), will stimulate the formation of newly born
viruses from traces
in ganglia.

I am reading now a Physiology book to try to understand the mechanism
going on in the neurons.

If my pressumtion will be proven wrong, then my theory of a herpes
cure
will be proven wrong, too.

If viral traces found in the ganglia, can indipendently become
active viruses, there is nothig I can add to it, at this moment in
time.
Since the traces can form new viruses and some traces will always
remain in
the ganglia, that's pretty much it.

Another point is, why do you thing most people after going to a
dentist
for a root canal (as far as I've heared anyway, it might not be the
case,
I just read some statistics somewhere), they get a cold sore?
The answer would be that in this case, due to the
deep penetration in the nerve of the stressor factors, the immediat
immunity
situated by the trigerminal ganglia, will allow the viral traces to
overcome this local specific immunity.

I still, hope that this last paragraphs'
pattern will happen due to the fact that in most bodies, the
asymptomatic
viruses or, as I've mentioned above, viruses in the spinal cord or in
the neuron, will actually be the one CRUCIAL required to signal the
traces in ganglia to form viruses.

I do not know how far I can go into understandig these above
situation, maybe, from the lack of technical data available (there was
always something, out there, to my reach), I will not be able
to even make anymore pressumtions.
For now I am learning some of the physiology mechanisms and such.
