My doctor told me that 40% of adult Americans have Herpes 1 or 2. You are definitely not alone, but I remember how I felt when I found out. Just FYI, I was told that if you have one type, you probably won't get the other. I got type 2 from my ex-husband, but my current husband has type 1. However, we are careful anyway.
BHT

Tried BHT (1000mg divided doses; 2x daily) with St John's wort for 6 months with no improvement. Took it with 6-8g of Vit C daily.
Oregano and Eucalyptus Oils, Lysine

One thing I can say I do not agree with on the posts is the acetone, I agree with everything else but that. I believe once you have an open sore anything through it can lead to the blood stream and may cause additional health concerns later in life. Perhaps one may reconsider such, the ly-sine vitamin I've been taking along with vitamin C, I take the 1,000mg, and also 1,000gm ly-sine three times a day. because I have a lot of stress I still get outbreaks every now an then which is expected under the circumstances.
This what I have been using which works great for me, the results may vary person to person rather works well for me.
I mix oregano oil and eucalyptus oil, use a q-tip to administer it to the affected area. I will do it overnight and or a few times a day or so, if I do it at night the blister and or bump will be gone in the morning. It will not take 7 days to go away, it literally gone within few days.
I hope this helps a bit.

Wheatgrass
★★★★★
In December 2015, I started using wheatgrass juice powder, mixed in with real pure coconut water(herbalist recommendation), mixed in a shaker bottle or mug for easy dissolving. Ps take on empty stomach, wait for half hour to 1 hr before consuming any thing else. Take 1 scoop or 2,2-3x daily then decrease to one scoop.
I've had no vaginal or facial ob since. This enables me to eat a more regular diet still avoiding sugar, chocolate and the no no's for herpes. I eat rice sparingly. I eat meat sparingly because I have a hard time stopping. I am stress free and feel so relieved. I blend organic veggie drinks 2x daily, one after I take morning wheatgrass. I live in Bklyn and has access to multiple organic stores, so when fresh wheatgrass is available, I blend in my nutribullet Rx with coconut water.
Ps cut wheat grass in half inch pieces. I believe if I change my diet...disease will go, because I've heard of others who got cured by using wheatgrass, dietary changes got retested and having a clean bill of health.

If me, I would google "Ayurveda - what is my dosha". That will most likely lead to a very interesting questionnaire about your person, habits, looks etc.
When you have done that, you will know your body's chemical composition with which you were born. Then you can learn to balance your dosha and be ahead of all the westerners that have to fit "one shirt for all". You will know what foods, what recreation and personal disciplines are most conducive for good health.
I hope this is not too complicated for you and I wish you "perfect balancing".

If you are getting outbreaks more than 1-2 year, you really need to look at your overall health: diet, exercise, emotional health.
Once you have an outbreak...there are lots of different ideas. I take lysine pills, vitamin C, and experiment with applying different things to the site. Currently using DMSO and iodine. But generally speaking, once an outbreak starts and you have a blister, it's too late. All you can do is shorten it.

BHT
Very interesting to read your experience with BHT for Genital Herpes. Although my outbreaks are not as severe as yours, I get around 2 - 3 per year.
I have started on BHT around December 2014, and no outbreaks since then but a very similar thing happened to me. I started getting the tingling and bumps on my butt, dull pain down from buttocks to knee on one leg. I never got this in this area ever before. I always used to get outbreaks in the same spot near my genitals. But since BHT, I only had slight discomfort around genitals but no big issue at all.
But the new location, the virus seemed to be trying very hard to break out for at least a month and half non-stop but never really causing a break-out. I still have what seems like a very mild issue on my butt.
When the mild attack was not going away for more than a month, I upped my dosage from 250mg 2x day to 500mg 2x day for a couple of days and that certainly helped. I also apply BHT dissolved to saturation in 70% isopropyl alcohol every 5 days or so.
So, my experience is similar to yours- BHT seems to be chasing the virus away from its usual breakout spot to new locations. My hope is that eventually, the virus will run out of places to go and gets wiped out.
Please keep the hope and continue with BHT. And share your updates here. I plan to get tested soon and BTW, I never got tested but the symptoms are unmistakable.

Secondly, I am disappointed that anyone who claims to have been cured by using Oxygen or some other remedy is not returning to the forum (I suppose they don't return to look at the posts, or earth clinic doesn't send alerts to their email) but it would give us all a lot more hope if we knew that years later people are really free from this virus and also be great to be advised of particulars, such as brand, dose and so on.

If you are a female I highly recommend vaginal insufflation. Women have an advantage, in that vaginal insufflation requires no preparation, and can be administered for very long periods of time, hours in fact. The gas will usually find its way into the uterus, out the Fallopian tubes, and then into the abdominal cavity. Liver problems and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) can be addressed in this way. This is also a good way of getting ozone into the lymph system. Obviously, this method is not recommended during pregnancy. We have more information in our medical library here, http://www.austinozone.com/education/medical-library/
Did anyone pick up the book: Natural Cures, "they" don't want you to know about by Kevin Trudeau?
I ask because I picked up his book many years ago because I had heard that he was going to publish the "cure" to herpes. I read the book and never did his cure. Today I was went back to his book for his cure, because I figure what the hell am I waiting for, I've been living with this this for 20 years.
So my question is not only did anyone read this book but has anyone tried his regime for the cure:
Cleanse (From his chapter 6)
Larrea, red marine algae, lysine, hydrogen peroxide and DMSO.
(He states this as the "cure")
From what I know of this disease, it lives in our spinal cord. Stress will make the outbreaks occur more often and make the outbreaks worse. Rubbing the area, breaking the blisters open, spreads the blisters, (like poison ivy). But Oxygen kills it. Hence why he states hydrogen peroxide to use.
I have taken Valtrex and the outbreaks last 5 days, less when using hydrogen peroxide at the same time. (I pour the hydrogen peroxide into the lid and hold the lid over and against the blister for a least a minute, if not longer so that it is sitting in the liquid. I then pour the cap full over the blister and let air dry. It stops the pain.
I do not believe taking a bath in hydrogen peroxide and water is going to help you because you have watered it down. And I don't believe that hydrogen peroxide would be a good thing to get a lot of inside of the genital cavity for a woman, I would think that could cause a yeast infection. (But these are my opinions).
My breakouts have gotten less often, I believe because I try very hard not to get stressed even using prescription drugs to help, like Ativan, when necessary. I think they have also become less often because I have had this disease for a long time. I did use the generic form of Valtrex and it did not work and caused the outbreak to last for weeks so please if you are having troubles with the generic form ask for the name brand, it does cost more but it is worth every penny.
In the mean time, has anyone used the regime described from the book?
And as Lyn has pointed out, regular blood tests of your liver and kidneys along with your IgG score for your Herpes is important to monitor your health.

I'm taking 1,200 mg of Calcium everyday along with 1000 mg fish oil capsule (Omega 3-6-9) is when I noticed a major difference in hair growth. The Calcium I buy has Magnesium, zinc and Vitamin D3 added to metabolize the calcium.
Just recently heard from my Holistic Doctor that it should be Bone Meal Calcium for best absorption. She says to add Strontium to my daily routine, as well, an important mineral to process the calcium.
Update- The ACV tablets worked to suppress the vaginal area OB, but didn't work to suppress an OB on my rear. So I'm going to try Acetone and see what happens because these lesions have lasted up to a month or more without treatment.
Apple Cider Vinegar
You might try diluting the vinegar with water. 1 part vinegar, 3 parts water.
You could also try Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, topically. This is generally very soothing to the skin.
I hope you can get this resolved soon and be ready to enjoy that new baby! Congratulations!

L-Lysine
L-lysine:from what I have read it has a side effect: being an amino acid, taking it leads either to putting on extra weight or in case you work out a lot putting on muscles. In fact it is used in sports as an additive. I was wondering if people for whom L-lisine works could share there experience: do you feel like you put more weight on?
Products to avoid: it is often that I see that vitamin C and in general citruses and sour fruits are to be avoided as they tend to cause a recurrent outburst of Herpes. Some other sources just mention that vitamin C is important for immune system so it is advisable. Did anyone have any problems taking vitamin C or eating citruses?
Almost the same contradictive situation I see with dairy products: they are full of proteins and especially of L-lisine. However, I often see it amongst the products to avoid. I personally find it difficult to lead a healthy lifestyle if I avoid dairy products and vitamin C.
(I mean it is possible of course, I have some friends who are vegan and they are perfectly fine and happy people, but they do eat whole wheat products, beans, soy etc, which I have to avoid.)
Thank you for your replies.

Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide
There is a protocol you start out with 3 drops in 8 oz of water 3x day on an empty stomach, 1 hour before a meal or 3 hours after. You slowly increase this for 16 days then decrease for 16 days, then do a 31 day maintenance 3 drops 3x day. I plan to get retested after this regimen.
I'm currently at the end of an outbreak, I've applied organic unfilitered apple cider vinegar and the few sores have started healing, within 24-48 hrs. Have not gotten anyworse since first appearing, itch is gone, and healing. I had to stop my herbal therapy due to antiobiotics I'm on for an ear infection though.
It's also referred to H202 therapy, and is used overseas, Europe, Germany etc. I purchased an article online to get the information. There is an HSV 1/2 vaccine starting clinical trials, so that may be available in a few years. I've been researching and reading this site. Has anyone else completed the H202 Therapy?
Did you build up to this dose gradually, hopefully? If so, was there a dose your system could tolerate with no side effects?
You should back off to a dose that does not give you side effects. Perhaps you should also take a few days off of your current treatment.

Must you take it 3 hours before or after on a empty stomach?
Must the dosage go up to 25 drops 3 times a day?

Coconut Oil

After a very stressful week I noticed a horrible breakout coming on. The spot on my backside was flaming red, about the size of a quarter and I knew it was going to be bad! The bump was large and it itched & hurt. I tried applying coconut oil the last time I had a breakout after reading about this on EC and it cut down the healing time dramatically, but I didn't start applying it last time until 2-3 days into the breakout. This time I applied the VCO by dipping one finger only once in the jar & then to the sore as soon as I noticed; once in the morning & once in the evening. Wow! I never itched or hurt after I started applying VCO to the area.
What normally takes 10-14 days to heal; took 4 days this time and it is completely gone! No scabs ever came about! The VCO threw the outbreak in total remission! I also took about 3000 mg a day of Lysine to help speed up the process. Simply amazing! Thank you EC :)

Colloidal Silver, DMSO, Hydrogen Peroxide
★★★★☆
When I was taking Vitamin supplements and L-lysin the ob's definitely came les frequently, but unfortuntaley they didn´t vanish and I also didn´t want to take so many tbls all the time because it was expensive and anoying.
After giving colloidal silver a go I kept researching and came across a cream containing silver.
I work at a hospital and silver coated dressings are regularly used on infected wounds and they work a treat. Because the colloidal silver particles in the one that I was taking weren't small enough, it didn't have any effect on me, but I know silver definitely is virucidal.
When I had an ob in the morning I immeditaley put on the cream and the same night the sore had completely vanished!!!! It was amazing.
I didn't want anything complicated that I had to put on several times a day over a few days, because I simply don't have time for that. So, this was a fantastic fix.
This didn't rid me of my gh problem though and the ob's kept coming, so I decided to try DMSO and 3% hydrogen peroxide applied to my lower spine right down to the of the spine between the butt cheeks. I wrapped it with cling wrap and left it for an hour.
This was several weeks ago and I have to say I have not used the silver cream since, because I have not had a single ob since then.
I will give some more time and will then get a blood test to see if the virus is still tracable in my blood. If you want to try the cream, it is silvadene or silver sulfadiazine creme 1% (used for topical burns).

Have you had a recent IgG test? I wish more would post the results of their testing. It does not have to involve a costly Doctors visit. There are a few online testing companies that are affordable and will send a prescription for your HSV testing to your local LabCorp or Quest Diagnostics. You get your results privately online. I've used ‘Request a Test' here in North America the last 2yrs. My next option is ‘STDCheck.com' or ‘UltaLab'. This allows me to affordably self-monitor what is or isnt working.
