Is Lysine Really Effective to Prevent Cold Sores?

The answer is yes and no!
Lysine (an amino-acid found in your food) has been used for a long time in herpes prevention. Some people experience tremendous success and some are left with no result at all. But why?
It is recommended that you follow these simple rules to maximize your chance of success:
� Have a somewhat healthy diet
� Watch the arginine-rich food that you consume
� Add Vitamin C and Zinc supplements to your Lysine supplements
� Have the right Lysine intake everyday
If you meet these four conditions, Lysine supplements will be a powerful ally in your fight against cold sores. Let's visit these four conditions in more details:
1-Have a somewhat healthy diet
What you eat can directly affect your immune system. No amount of Lysine will save you if your immune system is weakened. Avoid processed, packaged and fast food; they are packed with trans-fat and sodium. Soft drinks (diet or regular) and refined sugar are a big no-no if you suffer from herpes. Try to include fresh and unprocessed food in your diet and replace soft drinks with sparkling water. Of course you can indulge once in a while!
2- Watch the arginine-rich food that you consume
Arginine is an amino-acid found in virtually any food that you eat. Arginine by itself is not evil; the problem is that it's the favorite 'food' used by the Herpes Simplex Virus to replicate. High levels of arginine in your cells appear to cue the herpes virus to begin the replication process. Try to avoid all kinds of nuts (peanut butter included), seeds, chocolate, raisins, coconut and body building supplements rich in arginine.
3- Add Vitamin C and Zinc supplements to your Lysine supplements
Combining the anti-oxidant effect of vitamin C and the immune system booster effect of zinc to Lysine is recommended.
4- Have the right Lysine intake everyday
A study shows that the intake of 1500mg per day (3x500mg) of Lysine may be beneficial in herpes prevention. In case of any signs of outbreaks, up to 3000mg (3x1000mg) of Lysine is advised. But Lysine can be found in food too! Vegetables, dairy products, tuna and poultry are very rich in Lysine.
So, stay out of trans-fat, refined sugar, artificial sweeteners and give a chance to fresh vegetables and good quality meat. Take your Lysine 3 times a day before each meal, combined it with Vitamin C and Zinc and you should be able to control your cold sore outbreaks!

  1. If you want to be successful on how to get rid of a cold sore, try your best to shun away from salty and sour foods. The saltiness or sourness may further aggravate the symptoms of your cold sores, which may lead to further irritation and prolonged treatment.

My sister Susan had stage 4 Breast cancer as diagnosis with Mets to lymph nodes, liver and lung and later developed a rare form called Medullary thyroid cancer. That was a couple of years later, she had 4 bone marrow transplant, chemo and radiation therapy, in which all were unsuccessful then she was given 2 months or less to live but she somehow battled her way back from the brink and the good new, she is in complete remission after taking natural medication we ordered from Dr. Ogedegbe .
