Hello.  I can't afford Valtrex and don't want to take cheaper acyclovir
due to its potential hair loss properties.  I imagine there is no
substitute for these in terms of suppressing HSV 100%.... but is there
a vitamin or combination of vitamins out there that if taken daily will

Hi, I have just responded to the question  "HELP!!!! -- Are there any
good vitamin substitutes (or close substitutes) for
