OXYGEN THERAPY

DESCRIPTION

Relies on the principle that if we increase the blood concentration of oxygen its action is extremely potent against pathogens such as viruses and bacterium.

EFFICIENCY RATING

Many reports are received of persons claiming partial to complete success with oxygen therapy.

SIDE EFFECTS

Unfortunately if the blood concentration of oxygen exceeds a certain limit it is dangerous to normal cells, but this should not happen if the directions are followed.


Hydrogen peroxide should not be used as an oxygen source since most sources of hydrogen peroxide are not prepared for internal use and often contain high levels of unacceptable impurities.

Herpes Treatment

MEDICINAL HERBS

DESCRIPTION

Herbs have been used for their medicinal properties for hundreds of years, on both humans and animals. Each herb works most effectively when chosen specifically for each person and ailment. The active ingredient in most herbs is an alkaloid, a very toxic molecule if taken in considerable excess.

When using herbs it is best for safety and quality purposes to buy standardized extracts, usually dispensed by accredited Herbalists or Naturopaths. You are then guaranteed to get quality/regulated concentrations, that if taken according to directions should cause no harm.

This advice only applies to the very strong and toxic medicinal herbs - not those that are used in the common kitchen to help our immune systems and flavor our foods.

EFFICIENCY RATING

The following have all been shown to have anti-viral properties against Herpes Simplex:

  • Olive leaf extract
  • Prunella vulgaris
  • Cactus opuntia streptacantha
  • Red marine algae

    There are several medicinal herbs that are beneficial in dealing with most viruses:
  • LAVENDER - widely known for its rapid anti-staphylococcus and streptococcus effects, but is also beneficial against the cold sore/herpes virus.
  • MYRRH - a plant herb that yields a therapeutic toxic resin renowned for curing severe ulcers, as well as chest and blood infections from viruses and other pathogens.
  • SAGE - a moderately strong antiseptic that will kill most bacteria and viruses that it comes in contact with.

    The following herbs may also be beneficial:
  • GOLDEN SEAL
  • FEVERFEW
  • BURDOCK
  • HYSSOP
  • LEMON
  • PENNYROYAL
  • ST. JOHN'S WORT
  • SARSAPARILLA
  • WINTERGREEN
  • WORMWOOD
  • GENTIAN
  • RED CLOVER

    All of these have a greater or lesser affect on pathogens, such as bacterium and viruses, within the human physiology.

    SIDE EFFECTS

    Medicinal herbs should always be taken as directed, by an experienced practitioner or health care provider. Many herbs have side effects if taken in excess or used incorrectly.

    Herpes Treatment

    Famvir® (Famciclovir)

    DESCRIPTION

    Famciclovir has been shown to reduce the time outbreaks last when used as an episodic treatment, it also decreases the severity of pain with outbreaks and shortens the period during which the virus is detected on genital surfaces, similar to Valacyclovir (Valtrex) and Acyclovir (Zovirax).


    Famciclovir is taken three times a day, when it is used as an episodic treatment for the initial genital herpes episode, or two times a day to treat recurrent outbreaks. Please consult your doctor for your specific dosage.

    Famciclovir is approved in some countries for daily use as suppressive therapy (your doctor will be able to advise you if this is the case in your country). When it is used in this way, it has been shown in clinical trials to increase the time between outbreaks. For suppressive therapy, Famciclovir is taken two times every day.

    EFFICIENCY RATING

    You should consult your doctor for further information about antiviral treatment for your particular situation.

    SIDE EFFECTS

    Most commonly reported side effects:


  • Headache
  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea

    Those individuals with known hypersensitivity to the product, its components, and Denavir® (penciclovir cream) should not use Famvir.

    Concurrent use of Famvir with probenecid or other drugs significantly eliminated by active renal tubular secretion may result in increased plasma concentrations of penciclovir. .

    If you have impaired kidney function, your doctor will determine if you should use Famvir and the appropriate dose for you.

    It is not recommended to be used during pregnancy unless the benefit to the patient clearly exceeds the risk to the fetus.

    Dose reduction recommended in patients with renal impairment.

    The safety and efficacy of Famvir therapy beyond 1 year of treatment have not been established.

    Herpes Treament

    Essential Oils

    Essential oils produce strong powerful results against skin infections and when used internally purge the blood of most pathogens.

    Active ingredients vary from terpenes and sesquiterpenes through to ketones, aldehydes, esters, alcohols, and phenols.


    The most commonly used essential oils are:

  • LAVENDER
  • BASIL
  • CALENDULA
  • LEMON

    SIDE EFFECTS

    Essential oils are the refined active ingredients of flowers, leaves and roots of plants, and as such are very strong and can even be toxic when used in large quantities and to excess. As with all topically applied products, always do a skin sensitivity test to first determine if you have any unusual allergy.

    EFFICIENCY RATING

    Essential oils work very well when used for the right problem. Against the herpes virus there have been many, many reports of successful treatments. It seems to depend on the individual, one oil works well for one person and not so well for the next.

    One product that has earned a good reputation in the herpes community is H-Balm. It consists of pure essential oils specially selected and combined for use on herpes outbreaks.

    H-Balm adheres to very strict quality standards. It is 100% pure, all natural and CERTIFIED ORGANIC. All extracts and essential oils in H-Balm have been tested to be 100% chemical and pesticide free, no synthetic substances present. H-Balm and H-Balm Daily are a safe, efficient and affordable means of dealing with herpes and cold sore outbreaks.

    The manufacturer claims that herpes outbreaks have been permanently eliminated by using H-Balm and H-Balm Daily.

    H-Balm and H-Balm Daily are composed of essential oils of Lemonbalm (Melissa officinalis) and six separate anti-viral essential oils and plant extracts all medically proven to inactivate the herpes virus.

    Herpes Treatment

    DYNAMICLEAR®

    DESCRIPTION

    Dynamiclear is a popular topical product (applied externally) and is used on active skin lesions.

    The use of Dynamiclear can result in:

  • Rapid healing of the infected area
  • Smaller, less intense outbreaks
  • Partial/Complete end to symptoms associated with the herpes simplex virus


    Dynamiclear is similar in its molecular structure to an earlier molecule used to purify water and is based around the action of Sulphur and the herb Hypericum (St John's Wort).

    The antiseptic and antibacterial qualities of Sulphur have been appreciated for hundreds of years and was successfully used last century to stop infection in soldiers' battle wounds. More recently, Sulphur has been employed as the basic fundamental molecule in modern antibiotics.

    It has been shown by demonstration that Dynamiclear will usually kill any herpes virus that it encounters. Immediately after application to the broken blisters mild to strong burning is felt.

    This appears to be the Dynamiclear molecule running down the peripheral nerves, killing the virus as it goes. Most users report a rapid drying out of the blister with the area first going black, quickly followed by the forming of a healthy scab.

    EFFICIENCY RATING

    There is strong evidence to indicate local eradication of the virus. Total eradication of the virus may be related to the duration of the infection and/or the strength of the virus strain acquired.

    Dynamiclear treatment used soon after the initial infection by the virus appears to be very successful because the virus has not yet permeated throughout the body.

    The company can provide a list of customer testimonials claiming moderate to total success.

    SIDE EFFECTS

    No noticeable side effects but a sharp to moderate stinging pain on application may be felt. Pain is sometimes strong and feels as if it were running down the nerve, but soon subsides.

    Not recommended by manufacturer during first 14 weeks of pregnancy.

    As with all treatments, in rare cases an individual may be sensitive. A skin sensitivity test should always be performed to ensure sensitivity is not a problem.
