Good grief.

It's shining lights like you and Perl who are routinely showcased
(by lights of exactly equal wattage) as justiifcation for for having
the governmental bureaucracy (an entire institutionalized
conglomeration of short-sighted halfwits) stick its nose into every
finger-lifting endeavor that might occur to any of the rest of us,
with the aim or preventing it.  The instant you poison or explode or
otherwise damage  yourself, some whiny maladroit will petition his
or her eager public servant to regulate or abolish the politically
correct percentage of the stuff in the list above.  

Me, I think you and others like you should be allowed to maim
yourselves beyond any danger of your adding to the gene pool, so all
I'll say, as a warning to others:  Listen to these two at your own
risk, and don't come crying to me or fat mama government when the
sudden experience of your gonads going up in flames instantly and
fully illuminates the dark, huddling figure of your own damn folly.

With affection,

Mike

Well, it's your experiment ;O) How do you understand this formula?
I've read somewhere about aspirin used in a topical formula for
herpes, I reckon; I although, never use aspirin myself and not intend
to do so; rather
willow bark or meadowsweet herb or other herbs that contain
salycilates.

here is a description about the clotrimazole and I'm aware of all the
other components you want to use.

benzoyl peroxide -- (a white crystalline peroxide used in bleaching
(flour or oils or fats) and as a catalyst for free radical reactions)

I am, actually, looking for a cure. I have a feeling there is a cure
it just needs
to be discovered. Not using lysine as a supplement or topical
it is my personal theory; the reason is so you let your body being
exposed
to viruses and letting it cope using its high defence mechanisms.
Once you use lysine or prescription drugs sucn as acyclovir, your body
will not use its potential at its fullest to overcome the viral
infection.

Another issue is dealing with the viral patterns in their fragmented
mechanisms; there are several symtoms associated with the herpes
virus; for example, if you have a tinggling sensation before the
virus has an O.B. use homeopahtic pill Rhux Toxicodendron
and the tinggling sensation will never reappear whenever the
prodrome will appear again.

If you've got muscle tenssion around the back of the neck (top of the
spine) areas, deal with it to strengthen it, for example do this
simple exercise such as holding your hands at the back, stretched
together, one hand holding the other and then reverse it with the
other hand.

A new pattern that the virus will reveal, I've figured,
it is the weakening of the tiny vessels of blood inside the nose.
Did you ever experienced some sort of fragility of those arteries
before an OB
or before you've got a cold?

Now, I'm thinking of dealing with this problem by taking pottasium
supplements
vitamin C and antianemia herbal tea.

Thus, through the identification of the symptoms herpes specific, one
by one, the herpes will lose the battles, one by one along its way
towards an O.B. and in the and the war against herpes will be won.

When/(I hope it will never happen to have another O.B. of course) I'll
feel that I might have another cold sore coming, I will  try the
homeopathic pill "Arsenicum Album"

I'm not

Don't be discouraged by a "Mickey Mouse" that will try flamming in
here.

You've got to look around; I recommend Polish stores for European
herbs (medicinal teas)
and Vietnamese stores for Asian herbs, although they can carry
imported herbs as well. They seem to have a great variety of herbs in
the tea form. Health food
stores carry less exotic herbs and more herbal pills; these later
stores have
great nice looking packages but the content its somewhat mediocre;
they are very
pricey, too.

Lemon balm in the form of a cream, which is supposedly the best
formula
used in Europe, I could not find it for purchase yet. Only in tea
form.

I've taken a couple of times an ayurvedic paste, that contain "silver
foil"
together with a bunch of ayurvedic herbs; I don't know if that's
considered colloidal silver or not.

4mls, vitamin C, 250 mg

vitamin C in high ammount can trigger OB I've read somethere
I've also read the opposite that is to use vitamin C as much as
your tollerance of the intestine allows you to when having an OB

,

selenium poisoning when way too much selenium its been taken orally
which is not the case here as topical I use selenium as a pill
quite often. Even combined with zinc in a paste such as your paste you
mention here, only your formula is more complex (indeed, a good ideea,
considering
that the paste I've used will not do a great deal by itself; it needs
other stuff as well).

zinc as gluconate, 50mg,

Zinc gluconate? Zinc I've recall, it's best used in the combinations
such as zinc sulfate , like in the formula I've used, that is
"Lipactin"
please see below ( on top of this, I've used at least 2 other topical
formulas
that contain zinc, such as zinc oxide, from a diaper rush ointment for
babies
(Yes! that's true, I've read somewhere about it, using this stuff for
cold sores
as topical unguent or for any other herpes sores) also zinc chloride
in
"orajel" formula - I've wrote about it before if you search under my
username,
it's a compund in a formula that carry benzocaine, used to bring the
skin together when having a cold sore, in a gel formula; it works ok
but I think
lipactin it's much more efficient for that matter)

LIPACTIN®
Novartis Consumer Health
Heparin Sodium - Zinc Sulfate
Symptomatic Treatment of Herpes Simplex I

Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Lipactin is composed of heparin and
zinc for topical application. Topical application of heparin produces
accumulation of the heparin molecules in the corium of the skin while
insignificant amounts are absorbed through the skin. Oral
administration of heparin is associated with negligible anticoagulant
effect as heparin is immediately metabolized in the gastrointestinal
tract and not absorbed from aqueous solution.

Absorption of zinc through broken skin when applied in the
concentrations used in Lipactin does not produce significant increases
in serum and tissue concentrations of zinc.

Clinical studies have indicated Lipactin significantly reduces the
duration of pain associated with HSV I infections when compared with
placebo. There is also a statistically significant increase in the
rate of healing of perioral and lip lesions when compared to placebo
preparations.

One study compared Lipactin to placebo in 54 patients with Herpes
labialis. In the Lipactin treated group (n=23), 96% had resolution of
at least 2 of their initial symptoms within 3 days. This compared to
the placebo group (n=31) in which only 45% of patients had resolution
of 2 or more symptoms within the first 3 days. The same study
demonstrated that 83% of the patients in the Lipactin group were
completely healed within 7 days, compared to 26% in the placebo group.

Indications And Clinical Uses: For the relief and management of
symptoms due to lip and perioral infections of Herpes Simplex Virus
type I. This includes Herpes labialis, Herpes febrilis, fever blisters
and cold sores.

Early initiation of therapy, within 3 days of the onset of signs and
symptoms of infection or re-infection, has been found to produce
faster healing than treatment commenced after 3 days of symptoms.

Treatment should be continued until healing is complete or to a
maximum of 14 days, whichever comes first.

Contra-Indications: In individuals who are hypersensitive to heparin
sodium, zinc sulfate or parabens. tag_WarningWarnings

Manufacturers' Warnings In Clinical States: For external use only. The
gel is not for ophthalmic use.

Children and Pregnancy: Safe use of the gel in children or in pregnant
women has not been established. Use only as directed by a physician in
children and pregnant women.

Precautions: If the symptoms of the infection persist or become more
severe or wide-spread with treatment, use of the medication should be
discontinued and a physician consulted.

Adverse Reactions: In a few cases, a mild transient burning sensation
has been experienced at the site of application.

Isolated cases of local hypersensitivity reactions have been reported;
in such cases, use of the product should be discontinued.

Dosage And Administration: Apply Lipactin to the affected area(s) 3 to
6 times a day. A sufficient quantity of the gel should be applied to
adequately cover all lesions and a margin of healthy skin surrounding
them.

Therapy should be initiated as early as possible following the onset
of signs and/or symptoms, i.e. tingling, burning, vesiculation etc.
Treatment should be continued until healing is complete or to a
maximum of 14 days, whichever comes first.

Availability And Storage: Each g of clear, colorless, odorless gel
contains: heparin sodium 160 USP units and zinc sulfate 5 mg.
Nonmedicinal ingredients: glycerin, methyl parahydroxybenzoate,
polysorbate, propyl parahydroxybenzoate, sodium carboxymethylcellulose
and water. Alcohol- and bisulfite-free. Tubes of 3 g.

grape seed extract 50 mg,
used this as well. I still don't know is this from the grapefruit
seeds
or from the grapes' seeds.

I've used this very recently as infussion.

spirulina, 500 mg,
used as well

olive leaf, 500 mg,

olive leaf seems to work best for canker sores.

St.

used, too as infussions

lysine. mentioned above

hmmm, sulphur, I don't know much about it and it doesn't sound
to me like something very safe (unless in a certain safe compound
such as MSM or even vegetables like broccoli).

BTW, how did you find sulphur as an ingridient for your experiment?

What I would use is Sulphur as homeopathic pill (hepar sulphuris).
If you read about it and it matches your description I think
it's a great ideea to try it.
I've never tried this yet but it is on my list together with lemon
balm
topical cream for the eventually coming future OB's.
(I kind of changed a bit the pattern in my cure theory
since I'm now starting to take lysine; I've been through several years
of trial for high ammount of arginine consumption with no lysine, in
order to get
my body used to tolerate arginine).

So you are saying that the OB was like a cut in the lips or other
areas?
Cracked skin or so? Without inflammated  areas like blisters and such?
That's how for most people including myself an OB was looking like.

no worries here, I've actually read that some doctors are
particularilly advicing folks not to take acyclovir and such, thus
letting their bodies
cope with the virus in a more direct way, allowing their immune system
to
develop in its battle against the virus (which in the case of
prescription
drugs would be minimised - not good)

I have found a pharmacy in the city I live, I'll chech it out
tommorow; they supposedly carry such stuff (told by a pharmacist).
I'll let you know when I find the cream.

Perl von Molson

I've already found the way to fix the problem.
Making my own home-made cream. It's the best.
Same as the cookies.

Is that right?

silver foil actually contain large ammounts of silver ions.

I'm fine, I guess, I've found the method from one of my books:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0789467852/ref=sib_dp_pt/102-9121698-9118504#rea
der-link

The book offers a chapters "Making herbal remedies" at page 152 so I
am fine now.
You can find this book easily, whether at a bookstore or library.
There
are pictorials as well on top of some measuring descriptions (cannot
post in here) so I recommend you to check this out if you're
interested too.

Perl von Molson

A)  Who says so?
B)  What difference does it make?
C)  Which of the two propositions in that sentence are you more sure
of?

Unless it causes inflammation or pain, of course.

Well, then, you know it must be true.

Of course it can.  It can do whatever you think it can do.
Depending on personal preference.

No, I think the simplest approach is the best, don't you?
