When I first started reading this thread (see below) I thought Mike was
being excessively harsh. But after seeing the pattern of postings made by
Perl von Molson, I would have to agree and state that you are indeed
questionable. I am no friend of evil big pharma and quite receptive to
good,*sound* holistic approaches to health issues. I also have spent a lot
of my life tooling around in the worlds of physiology, pharmacology, and
cell/molecular biology, as well as some holistic circles. You have posted
a lot of info, but the context almost always seems slightly, if not, *very
much* off kilter.

Most of the holistic stuff that you are mixing up are already available in
ointment form via mail or at stores- so you may be spending your time
reinventing the wheel (w/o a sound approach, no less). Ointments aren’t
even that effective, including acyclovir ointments, according to more than
one bona fide health care professional, because it needs to be circulating.
You just can’t get most compounds/molecule (be it acyclovir, Melissa
extracts, crack cocaine) through the lipid bilayer of ANY cell w/o special
carrier molecules, much less a lipid bilayer cell that’s covered w/ a
myelin sheath (nerve cells that participate in impulse-and HSV1,2-
transmission. It is only when you can get through that gauntlet that you
may have a chance to penetrate the nuclear envelope to get to the cell’s
DNA where the virus has incorporated its genetic material. Then you gotta
cut out the viral genetic material. And you gotta do this for each and
every nerve cell, w/o triggering something like apoptosis or cancer… or an
immune response to whatever compounds that’s in this cure.

I hope that you will share with us you home grown gene therapy and the
delivery of whatever restriction endonucleases you intend on using to rid
each affected nerve cell of HSV genetic material. That’s all just the TIP
of the iceberg for what’s needed to CURE herpes.

I say this in sarcasm but in all humility. I am not using big words to
show off. I am by no means a virologist nor do I consider myself any kind
of a medical expert. These are just basic facts that I have stated (and
omitted) from basic biology. Not sure how my point will be taken but
wanted to back Mike up and say READER BEWARE.

I am sure you have the best of intentions, but that’s what the road to
hell is also paved with- good intentions.  Giving out recipes that don’t
prevent viral replication/that allow viral propagation to occur seems
really harmful. It takes away precious time to nip things in the bud,
thereby creating more pain and suffering.

As for me, I will continue w/ controlling HSV via high lys/low arg diet,
select holistic means and most of all, ACYCLOVIR…

“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.”]
