I found this post online and wanted to share it with the community here since the book mentioned is out of print and very hard to find/expensive to purchase:

"Hello everyone. The following is a program I have recently discovered, and I have written a very long post describing a procedure that has worked for my friend, and I am currently using. I hope it's okay to post something this long. If not, DM me and I'll post it to our private chat. I post all this information because the book that it's from is hard to find, and if found, is upwards of $200. This is for all of us who have been suffering for way too long.

Before I begin I want to make it clear of my situation. I was diagnosed with HSV1 last week. I have not had an outbreak, however, the anxiety and fear that the diagnosis created was enough to get me doing my research. Like all of us, I never want to have an outbreak. Luckily for me, I have a friend who has both HSV1 & 2, and who loaned me a book called, “Never an Outbreak” by William Fharel. This book describes and offers a program that has freed countless people from their HSV outbreaks, including my friend. Before he went through the program, he was having recurring outbreaks about 4-5 times a year. He cannot remember the last time he had an outbreak.

I am not a doctor. And I am not working for, or making money off of any of the products that I recommend in this post.

The main therapy for the Never an Outbreak program is something called DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide). It just so happened when I was loaned the book that I was already a massive DMSO user. DMSO has literally rid my body of many things. Weird growths on my head, weird growths on my hand. I take it internally and externally. I will explain as much as I can think of about DMSO, but I implore you to do your own research as well. It is very easy to find videos on Youtube and articles on the internet about the miracle of DMSO. This is another example of something that is so effective that the Pharmaceutical community doesn't want anyone to know about. But I promise you, with the right precautions (precautions that are very easy, such as cleaning your hands before use, etc.) DMSO can become a commonly used part of you medicine cabinet. Again, do your research and you will find plenty of info on DMSO.

I imagine a lot of what I'm about to discuss any HSV sufferers will already know. Additionally, please remember, my only example of this program's efficacy is my one friend (however, there are countless other successful people in the book who claim freedom from their herpes outbreaks.

Here's my outline of the program from the Never an Outbreak book. Whereas all of these elements combined make for a very effective regiment, the most important ones are the first 3.

DMSO

Oxygenation of your body.

Making your body's PH alkaline

Proper diet (this goes in line with the PH / alkaline element)

Breathing exercises

Physical fitness

Viruses and disease cannot live in an environment that is well oxygenated. The herpes virus is able to get into our cells and harbor there safely from our immune system. DMSO can penetrate these cells unlike our immune system. The “O” in DMSO stands for oxygen. DMSO is an adjutant, meaning it is used to move things through our skin. Doctors use it all the time to get medicines through the skin. But even alone, the healing powers of DMSO are incredible. So, when the DMSO moves into the infected cells, it brings with it oxygen, and effectively gives the virus a run for its money. Be warned, because of its ability to move quickly through the skin it can very easily pick up bacteria or other things that might be on your skin. So, if you are going to rub it in with your finger tips, make sure to rinse them thoroughly with warm water. No hand lotion or soap or anything else on those fingers. Also, rinse any areas that you are applying it with warm water. Apply the DMSO and wait for it to dry (about 15 minutes) before putting on any clothes over it, or lying down in bed. DMSO is a non-toxic solvent that will pull things out of fabrics; dyes, dirt, bacteria, etc. So let it dry before putting clothes over it. What I do, is apply the DMSO and then sit down for 15 minutes of breathing exercises. Please, also be aware that DMSO will make other medicines you're taking more “effective”. Some people believe 10 x's more effective. In my experience, I have taken medicines and used DMSO the same days, and had no problems. DMSO when applied to the skin will definitely burn. The burning is not hurting you, and it will go away in about 20 minutes. If you cannot take the burning, then there is a DMSO cream available as well that will work just fine and not burn (see the list of products below) When the area with the DMSO application is dry to the touch, you can get dressed or lay down in bed. At this stage it will not pull unwanted things into your body.

Use DMSO sparingly. A little bit goes a long way. When using the liquid DMSO lightly pat it on the skin. You don't have to rub it in. It will be completely absorbed within 20 minutes.

Again, do your research. It is safe to apply DMSO with cotton balls, clean fingers, or sterile pads.

DMSO is not expensive at all. I recommend that you have on hand three different modes of DMSO.

- Google Heiltropfen and you will be taken to the website for perfectly fine DMSO. You can get it in 70% or 99% strength. Personally, I use the 99% because I'm just that type of person.

- DMSO cream with Aloe Vera. Both of these elements together make for a very effective healing cream to use in this program.

- DMSO roll on stick. It's like a lip balm stick, but better.

All of these are easy to find on amazon.com, and are not expensive. If recommend all three because if you don't like the burning from the pure DMSO, and use the cream instead, it's still good to have the liquid version to use on many other things, most importantly any cold sores that might pop up. Once you feel an outbreak coming on (prodome phase) apply the DMSO to the area multiple times a day for three days and the cold sore will not appear. If a cold sore has already appeared, apply the DMSO and it will heal much quicker. However, if you're at work and don't want to carry around a glass jar of DMSO, the roll on stick will work as well.

2. Oxygenation of the body.

In these modern times, even though we're all breathing and alive, our bodies are more than likely oxygen deprived. This is one of the reasons that viruses and disease are so rampant, because our bodies aren't oxygenated enough to prevent them from flourishing. Diseases and viruses cannot live in a well oxygenated environment. The book recommends picking up something called Stabilized Liquid Oxygen (SLO). This is a liquid version of oxygen that you can squeeze drops into your water and drink, thereby supplying your body with more oxygen that will inundate you bloodstream. The books recommends something called OxyForce. Personally, I haven't found that particular brand name, but have found many others online. You will come across many products with “OxyForce” in them that are laundry detergents and house cleaners. Those are not what I'm talking about. Keep scrolling and you will see Stabilized LIquid Oxygen additives that are safe to ingest.

Daily breathing exercises will also help inundate your body with oxygen. I recommend sitting on a meditation cushion a few times a day, in loose clothes, or naked, relaxing, and practice taking deep breaths. As you do so make sure the lower belly is expanding with the breath, not just the top chest area. You have to expand all the lobes of the lungs, something we don't do with all these tight belts and waistlines we wear all day. For more intense breathing exercises look up “Pranayama exercises”. It's an advanced form of Yoga that will meet any criteria for breathing exercises. However, you can do it without looking up Pranayama, because all you have to do is sit and take long slow breaths, expanding the low belly until it's full and then the top chest will expand next. I have practiced Yoga for 20 years and have always done breathing exercises. Perhaps this is why I haven't had an outbreak yet. As I already stated, I apply the DMSO and while it's drying sit down and do my breathing exercises.

My friend also recommends picking up canned Oxygen. There's an abundance of these products on the market, and daily inhalations of this will also help oxygenate your body. However, the canned oxygen is not mentioned in the book. But, in my opinion, the more you can do, the better.

Daily breathing exercises also help manage stress. I am positive you all know the relationship between stress and outbreaks.

3. Managing your body's PH. (this is directly related to our diet as well.) Diseases and viruses cannot live in an alkaline environment. Which is why so many people suffer, because they don't realize how acidic are the foods they eat. The natural environment around us (pollution, car exhaust, etc. also doesn't help with our PH balance, but we can't do too much about that.)

The following info is very easily found on the internet as well. Do your research. Because of all the acidic foods we eat our bodies are constantly using vital alkaline elements to fight off the acidic elements. It is safe to say that most people's bodies on this planet are suffering because of how strapped their immune systems are from constantly balancing their PH. So, eat more alkaline foods and drink more alkaline water. Google “alkaline foods” and you will find more websites with lists than you could ever handle. Stop eating all sugars and foods with margarine or saturated fats or poly unsaturated fats. Use only Extra Virgin Coconut oil for cooking and as salad dressing with a bit of lemon. Coconut oil is one of the healthiest oils you could ingest and actually helps fight diseases and viruses. The benefits of Coconut Oil can be founds with an easy internet search. Stop eating processed foods. Eat olive oil only at room temp (not heated up or when cooking). Olive oil is also okay for salad dressing. Don't be deceived by Olive Oil. Read the ingredient list on the bottle. If it has other oils in it, do not eat it.

Water filters are available that can make tap water alkaline. I use one from a company called Nikken, but there are many other companies that offer the same type of filter. Making your daily water intake alkaline is the best way to help your body's PH easier to adjust for your immune system, as well as your blood stream. You can get a water filter, OR pick up a food grade PH drops from most health food stores (or online). Make sure it's for ingestion and not for something like, say, gardening. I use a brand of drops called “Alkalife”. Just follow the directions on the bottle. However, I put 3 -4 drops in every glass of water I drink throughout the day. Despite having a filter that makes my water alkaline, I also squeeze some drops into it whenever I fill it up. Why not? There are also bottled water products on the market that are alkaline. ALSO, adding fresh lemon juice to water makes the water alkaline once it gets in your body. Just remember to brush you teeth after drinking lemon water because while in your mouth, it's acidic. Lemon water is cationic, which means it becomes alkaline in your system.

Remember, coffee, alcohol, and soda are acidic. Personally, and no judgements here, I would never put a soda in my body, and I also drink alcohol very rarely. If nothing else, perhaps you can cut these things out of your diet while trying the program outlined below.

The best way to manage your PH is with diet and alkaline water.

4. Physical fitness. The book recommends a regular exercise routine, however, not one in which you workout so hard that you can't easily breathe. It uses marathon runners as an example. Think about how many times you've seen a marathon runner struggling to make it across the finish line. This is because they've actually run so much that their body can't take in enough oxygen to feed their muscles. Remember, you don't want to create an environment that is devoid of oxygen. Disease and viruses LOVE those environments. So, yes, work out, but don't push it to the point of needing to take stressful, emergency breaths. I recommend a daily Yoga practice. I personally believe that a daily Yoga practice is literally the fountain of youth.

The program.

The following is literally copied from the Never an Outbreak book. These are the program instructions for preventing herpes outbreaks. As I'm sure you all know, HSV resides in the spine at the base of the neck (HSV1) and the base of the spine (HSV2). So the following is talking about applying DMSO to these areas. It mentions DMSO cream, but you can also use the liquid form as well.

Three Day Procedure

To prevent genital outbreaks from appearing, apply a thin layer of DMSO cream at prodome to a fairly large area (about 3-5 inches in diameter) at the lower spine near the tailbone, and to all areas of previous outbreaks. Repeat the application 3 to 5 times daily for three consecutive days. Do not rub vigorously into the skin; just apply.

To prevent cold sores from appearing, apply a thin layer of DMSO cream at prodome to the back of the neck 3 times daily for three consecutive days. Also apply DMSO roll-on to areas of previous outbreaks five to six times daily. Carry DMSO roll-on with you and apply frequently during the day, as you would a lip balm. DMSO can also be used for cracked, dry or chapped lips.

To prevent facial outbreaks from appearing, apply DMSO cream to the back of the neck three times daily for three consecutive days. Also apply DMSO cream with aloe vera to all areas of previous outbreak 3 to 5 times daily for three consecutive days. If you don't have DMSO cream with aloe vera, you can use DMSO cream alone.

For outbreaks inside the mouth, apply DMSO cream to the back of the neck three times daily. Also rinse with dilluted OXygen Force (5 drops OxyForce to 2 ounces of water) three to five times daily. The area normally will clear overnight, but almost always within three days.

Preventing future outbreaks

To prevent future outbreaks, even when clear, follow the three day procuedure once (or twice) a month for three to five months. If you experience outbreaks more than once a month, follow the three-day procedure twice a month. Following the three-day procedure more often is safe but not usually necessary.

When an outbreak is in progress, apply DMSO cream with aloe vera (preferred) or DMSO cream 3 to 5 times daily to the outbreak area until completely clear.

DMSO cream: use on the ganglion areas located on the top and bottom of the spine, and on all previous outbreak areas. It is not preferred for application to the lips, but can be used for cold sores if DMSO roll-on is not available.

DMSO roll-on: Use during the three-day procedure on all previous cold sore areas. Use to speed healing of all existing cold sores. DMSO roll-on contains aloe. It is also used for dry, cracked, or chapped lips.

DMSO cream with aloe vera: Use on or near an existing outbreak to speed healing.

Oxygen Force (Oxy Force): Immediately begin taking Oxy Force. Start with 2-3 drops in 8 ounces of water or unsweetened juice three times daily. Gradually increase over thirty days to 10-12 drops per dosage. Continue taking Oxygen Force daily during the three-to-five month program. Never apply to the skin. Always dilute to the correct ration before ingesting. You can add the correct number of drops to a large container of water or juice, and drink it throughout the day. If you continue taking Oxy Force indefinitely, you should never experience another outbreak.

(for the record, I have not found any product called Oxy Force. But other products of food grade Stabilized Liquid Oxygen are available.)

IMPORTANT: Do not use DMSO if you are pregnant.

Do not leave a bottle of liquid DMSO opened for extended periods. DMSO is attracted to water, and can literally pull water out of the air, and soon enough, you will find the bottle is overflowing with liquid. Just put the dropper cap back on when you're done.

So, this is it guys and gals. The above is my interpretation, and direct copy from the book “Never an Outbreak”. Do you research on DMSO. In my opinion it is a miracle. Feel free to DM me anytime with any questions and I will answer you as soon as possible.

I post this information because I cannot imagine the fear and anxiety any of you might suffer through when you discovered you had HSV. I have never had an outbreak, yet when I got my diagnosis, I was riddled with fear. Despite never having an outbreak, I am still using this program regularly. I have all three forms of DMSO at the ready. And even before my diagnosis have successfully used DMSO for other issues. However, my friend who has HSV 1 & 2 swears by this program. I post this information for everyone suffering from HSV, especially those of us who are at our wits end with breakouts. The products listed here are not expensive, and the therapies described will not only help with HSV, but will improve you overall health as well.

Good luck."

For genital herpes, use DMSO as soon as you feel it coming on. Dab Dmso directly onto lesions. Also rub liquid Magnesium onto spine - that's where virus hides when its dormant. Herpes hates Mag and coconut oil.

I got this special gift from an ex back in 2001. I use to have small ob's about 3 times a year. Then last July (2014) I had an ob. I put Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide directly on the ob and then topped it off with DMSO (liquid form, with a Q-Tip). It is now November 2015, and I have not had one ob since that last one in July 2014. I KNOW it was the DMSO that cured it! Like I said I was having ob's at least 3x a year for 11 years. Did the Peroxide/DMSO treatment and now nothing. This cannot be a coincidence. Also, since that lasts ob, about once a week I take Q-tip with DMSO and just wipe my vaginal area. Just to be cautious. I am living proof that this stuff works!

I contracted it from a girlfriend about 40 years ago. I suffered outbreaks about 6 or 7 times a year. I had read about DMSO, can't remember where I first noted it.

I first used DMSO after I suffered with the problem for about 5 years, during which I had outbreaks. I read that the virus stores itself in the base of the spine between outbreaks. I decided to apply DMSO to the base of my spine. I applied it once a week for about 6 weeks. From the date of the FIRST application I have never had an outbreak. During the period after the first application I have been involved in vigorous sexual activity with my wife or girlfriend. I believe that I am cured, but have not been tested, not knowing that such a test existed.
