What is Herpes?
Herpes sores are caused by a virus that spreads easily. There are
two types of herpes. Mouth herpes and genital herpes. Mouth herpes is
much more common and less harmful. It is transmitted by direct contact
to the infected area. Genital herpes is transmitted primarily by sexual
contact especially between people who usually wear tight clothes.
The Herpes family consists of at least 8 viruses that cause disease. In
addition to herpes simplex types 1 and 2 , the other identified herpes
viruses are:
●
Varicella zoster virus (VZV): causes herpes zoster [shingles]. Herpes
zoster lives in a dormant state in certain nerve roots and is often
reactivated during times of stress and lowered immunity.
●
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV): a virus that causes infectious mononucleosis
and acute tonsilitis. EBV can also induce tumors such as nasopharyngeal
carcinoma.
●
Cytomegalovirus (CMV): a virus that causes mononucleosis-type illness.
●
Human herpes virus-6 (HHV-6).
●
Human herpes virus-7 (HHV-7): a virus associated with mononucleosis.
●
Human herpes virus-8 (HHV-8): a virus associated with Kaposi's sarcoma.
Traditional
herpes treatments
There are medications that have been claimed to lessen the severity of a
herpes attack . But this is not proven.
These drugs have many side
effects. Sometimes herpes is treated externally by ointments and
external applications that do not cure the illness but make the skin
more comfortable.
The conventional medical treatment for herpes virus infections is
several anti-viral drugs and an assortment of drugs that provide only
symptomatic relief. These drugs suppress the virus reducing the severity
and frequency of outbreaks but do not eliminate it from the body.
On-going drug therapy is supposed to keep the virus in remission for
some individuals.
Available Herpes treatments can be classified as
medicine of the first
degree among the seven levels of medicine. The current Herpes
medications are
expensive, not offering a cure and have
harmful side
effects.
Herpes in eastern medicine
All types of herpes infections are YIN (spreading
is a YIN characteristic). Genital herpes is considered a stronger YIN
that mouth herpes. You can read more about the relation between
Herpes
and YIN and YANG in the seven laws of the universe.
Herpes natural alternative treatment and cure
Food is
best medicine.
Herpes can be completely cured and the virus eliminated from the body by
following the right diet. Read about
natural antibiotics and their effectiveness against all germs (bacteria,
viruses, parasites, etc.).
Because herpes is
caused by a virus, then the foods that should be used are foods that limit and prevent this virus from multiplying.
Some yang foods have that characteristic. These
foods are inexpensive and available everywhere.

treatments
In the page
natural antibiotics you will find a comparison between chemical and
natural antibiotics regarding effectiveness(bacteria, viruses,
parasites, fungus, etc.), cost, availability and side effects. Also,
please read the article

Herpes and
macrobiotics
Most people have come to believe that macrobiotics means eating exotic Japanese foods. This is a misconception. To cure Herpes you do not have to eat
Japanese foods. You have to first understand the
principles of natural balance explained in macrobiotics in order to understand what
eating and
living
habits have led you to develop Herpes. Then,
macrobiotic principles will help you determine what foods you will have to eat in order to cure
Herpes.
Read If macrobiotics means eating locally grown foods, why
are we eating Japanese foods?
If you are a herpes patient and tried macrobiotics
(particularly the #7 diet) but found it did not work for you, then the foods you have selected are not appropriate for your condition. Please read:
The standard
macrobiotic diet does not work for some people. Why?
Herpes and the
food pyramid
It is true that
food is best medicine for herpes. But some foods help
cure Herpes and some make the condition worse and can actually bring on
an attack. The food pyramid is only
a general guideline and does not provide any specific information in the
natural treatment of herpes.
Herpes and
vitamin and mineral supplements
Food is best medicine. With a
carefully designed diet plan for herpes
there is no need for
vitamin and mineral supplements. Some vitamin and
mineral supplements can have adverse side effects on a herpes patient
when taken randomly or in large doses. We strongly discourage a herpes
patient from taking any supplements as they can either make the herpes
attack worse or can actually bring on an attack.
And
beware of alleged miracle cures in far away lands.
