Health Information

Cold sores are the result of a recurrent viral infection by the virus herpes simplex. Colds sores represent the infection targeting the skin or mucous membranes, mainly occurring about the mouth, lips, genitals or eye. The incubation period is 2-12 days & averages 6-7 days. Outbreaks may follow minor infections, trauma, stress (emotional, dietary & environmental) & sun exposure. Chronic, persistent herpes infections are seen in immuno-suppressed individuals. There are a number of foods which should be avoided, or at least limited as dietary choices, or the nutritional status of the individual will have significant implications, by acting as triggers, which lower the immune system bringing on an attack. A diet rich in the amino acid arginine & low in lysine has been shown to contribute to a herpes infection. Arginine is required by the virus to make its viral proteins. Lysine, an amino acid, has the ability to fight the infection & regulate the uptake of arginine from the diet. Therefore supplementation with lysine, while restricting your diet of foods high in arginine is considered essential. Food that contain high amounts of the amino acid Arginine have been found to be a trigger for most people who suffer with Herpes. These include Chocolate, peanuts, almonds, cashews, peas, pecans & whole wheat. If you suffer with reoccurring outbreaks, you should consider eliminating these foods from your diet completely. Supporting your immune system is essential. This can be done by taking antioxidant vitamins & minerals. The most important are vitamin C with Bioflavonoids. Supplementation has shown potential in reducing the severity of the infection as well as preventing a recurring infection. Research has found that people with a history of recurrent herpes simplex are often iron-deficient. Another important mineral for the immune system is Zinc. The amino acid Lysine actually suppress the symptoms of cold sores. Studies have showed that once supplementation of lysine stopped, the cold sores returned within 1 to 4 weeks. The amount of lysine needed as a preventative for cold sores varies, depending on the persons diet & their overall nutrient balance between arginine & lysine, as well as biochemical individuality. Selenium has been added, as this vital mineral is deficient in our soils in New Zealand. Selenium is a powerful antioxidant. As well as this, leanne added Vitamin A, a vital immunity vitamin. Leanne has formulated this product, HerpEze, specifically for helping with the prevention & relief of cold sores. It is VERY important to remember that the Herpes virus is HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS. From the moment you notice the 1st tingling sensation this virus is active. If you do not use good hygiene practices, you will easily transfer this virus to different parts of your body or to other people. If you have cold sores of your mouth UNDER NO CIRUMSTANCES should you kiss anyone or share cups, cigarettes or food. Once you have the virus, you will always have this. The frequency of outbreaks on the particular lesion will become less & less and they can eventually "wear them selves out". However in times of stress etc, you could experience another out break in this area.
