Yes, folks, a sadly statement in the title,
as I've tried to trigger outbreaks, well, I've got
cold sores; quite minimal but there are obvious signs of herpes virus.

Some 3 little cuts in the bottom and top lips and one small sore
(didn't become a blister after aplying some of the effective treatments
I know, but it's clear a sign of herpes virus).

Cold weather, sleepless nights, expresso coffee, tons of nuts, oranges
has eventually taking the virus out of the dormant state.

For what I'm concern, I tried all I could to get rid of the virus
in my body but apparently I failed.

I have no more options for attempting another cure
and so I give up.

That's the end of the story.
My treatments work great. There is no pain whatsoever ( I don't call
that pain).
Minor troubles and stuff like that. No biggie.

Obviously with time body is coping easier with the whole thing.
Didn't got any colds (influenza virus) infections in eons.
The fight with the virus probably helps for that one.

It's been a long 3-4 years of personal research about this virus and
it's about time to hang up the boots... there is really no point
wasting
any more time on the subject. The cure is out of discussion.

I was just hoping...

Jeeeeze Pearlie. I don't think I've ever seen you so down.  But I'm
sure you have more important things in your life to keep you occupied.
How's about turning your considerable energy toward a more productive
subject?   I can see you have some amazing energy.
You gave this a good shot and you learned a thing or two about more
than just Herpes... as have we all.  You can't complain about that,
can you?
Cheer up
Hang in

I kinda doubt that's true, Perlie, though I'd have to do some net
research on it to be sure.  It's more likely that your own personal
concern for your health for the last four years has contributed more
to your well-being (at least your physical well-being) than anything
else.

Adios, Perlie.  It's been virtually real.  Good luck in your future
endeavors.

You failed to rid your body of the virus but you're essentially
symptom-free.  Except by your own standards, you succeeded.  You had to
actually induce the outbreak.

Mike will have to find somebody else to kick around between scarfing
down Big Macs and chasing them with Valtrex and Cherry Coke.

So why worry?  No symptoms, no medical problem for you.

That's a nice way of calling the guy a nut-case.

You did what you could do.  Previous poster is probably right.  Focus
your energy on something more important than ridding yourself of a
virus that causes YOU essentially no symptoms now that you have
essentially complete control over outbreaks.

Drew!!!  How ya doin', pal.  Long time no see.

Don't forget that a reduction in frequency and severity of outbreaks
is NORMAL the longer one has herpes.  It is extremely unlikely that
anything Perlie did in the last four years, other than attend to his
general health, had any material effect on the activity of the
virus.

>> >That's the end of the story.

>Mike will have to find somebody else to kick around between scarfing

I haven't had a Big Mac in AGES, I've never eaten Valtrex, and while
I used to adore Cherry Coke®, I can't remember the last time I had
one.  I probably drink a soda once a month, almost always a Diet
Coke®.  I do buy a lot of water, though.  And beer, wine, whisky,
and corn squeezings, too, it goes without saying.

But what's up, Drew?  I don't seek people to kick around.  I've had
a few issues with Perlie, but he's a big boy (how big, I don't know)
and hasn't been shy about having a few issues with ME, so ...

... so THERE!  NAH!

>> >My treatments work great. There is no pain whatsoever ( I don't call

>So why worry?  No symptoms, no medical problem for you.

It's still annoying.  It's still transmittable.  No one likes it.
Everyone wants to try to do something about it.  For THAT, Perlie
can't be faulted.  Some of his methods were laughable, a few of his
methods were dangerous, a lot of it was entirely misplaced, but all
of that was his to evaluate.

I've called him a nutcase before, and his idea that the virus
somehow stimulates the immune system to fight *other* diseases seems
to me to border on nuttiness just a little.  Like I say, I haven't
looked into it, and so can't rule it out definitely, but I think it
far more likely that all diseases put some strain on the limited
resources of the immune system.  I cannot think of any enhanced
"strength" derived from learning how to make one form of antibody or
another.  The cells that perform such tasks are not like muscles,
which grow stronger with exercise.  They are just cells.

However, a stronger body will have stronger, healthier cells, but,
again, HSV does not cause stronger bodies.

What's up with this "Cherry Coke"?
Big Mac? That has hormones from the cows that have been injected with
it.

I do buy a lot of water, though.
At least is ozonated? I've read that a lot of the water
sold as drinking water was found to be much contaminated that the tap
water.

>From the plastic containers to other problems during the storage and
transportation, there are lots of chances for that bottled water to
become
not as clean as we would like it to be.

And beer, wine, whisky,

partying a lot lately?

Maybe, but for the most part I kind of sorted out which one has what
effect.
I've always thought that learning about health is already a way of
getting healthier.
Think about someone that drinks a case of beer when he could've drank
a teapot full with herbal tea and do some sports.

Firstly, I had to evaluate some of the stuff I use because I tend to
be a kind of person that gets addicted to even a herbal tea.
>From that point of view, knowing a little about the ingredients gives
me a more secure life.
For example, if I will use spices or herbs, I will rather use
those that are least harmfull.( some seem harmfull at a first glance
but
there are lots of factors that can be triggered with their consumption)

> >> >Obviously with time body is coping easier with the whole thing.

There is one important contradictory question left:
if, with time, the body can cope easily with the virus, as you say it,
Mike,
what will happen when we get older, when, as studies say, the immune
sistem
becomes less effective?
So the herpes does not in all cases, decreases with time in its ability
to overcome body's defence mechanisms, right?

Let's put it this way: when treating and preventing herpes
through consumption of such and such foods, herbs, minerals,
fish oils, spices, all of these things will contribute
to increasing the body's ability to cope with disease in general,
including colds. Without the need to treat a herpes symptom, there
would be really no need for such strenghtening of our body, I reckon.
Given such opportunity, as the herpes viral infection, why not
offering our body the required nutrients to cope for any viral
infections.
Not to mention that the immune system per se, can be stimulated on a
long
term by the simple use of certain foods/herbs etc.

The problem is, even without apparent symptoms, the virus can cause
problems for our bodies.
A simple muscle soreness, tiredness, breath shortages, head aches that
seem unrelated to herpes can actually be a sign of a possible stopable
herpes
outbreak (if stopped on its way).
The immune system will fight the virus taking a large ammount of energy
out
of our body even when succeeding to win over the virus.
Not to mention there might be unknowns there, as well.

Mixed results.  Fewer allergic reactions to stuff like dust and pollen
and food if you are so afflicted but muted or delayed response to
bacterial or viral infections.  That's why influenza can kill old
people so readily.

> So the herpes does not in all cases, decreases with time in its ability

An outbreak is not a classic antigen/antibody reaction.  You've already
got the virus in your DNA and probably lots of other viruses and junk
DNA and crap.  Why would a weakened immune system be a problem with the
herp after you've got it?

To say nothing of just increasing your own shelf life generally.

Are you referring to possible Central Nervous System damage?

But you must know the difference between a headache that's a tension
headache or a hangover headache and the headache that you get (maybe
you don't get) before an outbreak.  Your experience should tell you
that.

It's just one more parasite in a world of parasites that may include
lawyers, bosses, politicians and ex-wives.   The herp is a midget
nuisance compared to the aforementioned for most people and as you have
proven, YOUR body can handle it.....you just can't excise it.  If you
obsess about every minor malady and blame it on the herp, then it rules
your mind indirectly and that's worse than what it can do to your body.

> Not to mention there might be unknowns there, as well.

Sure, but why sweat that?  Life's too short man.

It is pressumed that some alergies originate
when children without developed immune system are
exposed to certain chemicals, viruses etc.

Noone seems to know specifically what happens before an outbreak.

That one was my question, too, about this contradiction.

Not only that. Each of the affected areas that are related to
the virus can suffer from it. There are quite a few, as I've wrote
below.

Well, I don't know the differences. Maybe I should pay more attention
to such things.

True. However, it helps to learn more aboutit.

It's a long story. Everyone have their own story.

I am glad you see it in a positive way. I try to do that as well.
