Effective Natural Treatments for Genital Herpes Relief

Stabilized Oxygen Drops

Posted by Lovelytrees13 (US) on 03/10/2015

I am interested in purchasing Stabilized oxygen drops. But if it's possible, I would love a recommendation on a legit brand. Not all brands live up to what this treatment can do. Nobody who commented on the genital herpes thread mentioned any. Please contact me. I understand that you're not a clinic, but I would love some help.

I think you may be looking up the wrong tree on this one, as "Stabilized Oxygen" isn't really oxygen but a "precursor" to Oxygen when taken orally. Stabilized Oxygen is Sodium Chlorite which is not an effective topical antiseptic, but does increase oxygen levels in the body when taken orally.

Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) and Ozone (O3) can be used as topical antiseptics.

BHT

Posted by Ben (Louisiana, US) on 03/08/2015

Hi to all . I suffer from genital herpes I experience an outbreak about every two weeks. I have tried everything. From Red Marine Algae, lysine, olive leaf extract, green algae, Mediterranean Oregano oil, red Pepper, cayenne pepper, Ginger, garlic, turmeric, Prunella Vulgaris, onion water, Apple cider vinegar, multi onion blend smoothie, mineral clay and that is about it. I say that with a very sarcastic under tone.

I started BHT this past Wednesday. I am starting to feel an outbreak right now. I see some red spots coming up. They are on and around my genital area in places that they have never been before. I got a blister in my mouth Friday which is now gone. I have never had a blister that looked like what I get down there anywhere but down there. I do get fever blisters but you cannot see them at all they just hurt a little bit and that's about it. I also have one that came up yesterday inside my nose. Is this normal ? Nothing has worked to date! I will say that nothing has made it run for the hills like this . Should I be concerned about this or is this the HSV reacting to the medicine ? I did take Valtrex for about 1 1/2 years it worked. I'm not real big on taking a pill for the rest of my life. So I started doing research and found many mixed reviews on a lot of different products. I have pretty much tried all of them.

So I'm going to give BHT a shot. Is there anything else that I should take with BHT and can I take it out of the capsules and apply it directly to the infected areas or the areas that are tingling before an outbreak ?

BHT

Posted by Oscar (Syracuse, New York) on 03/11/2015

Hello Ben and Anon, Yes these are typical or the usual responses with the use of BHT to treat herpes infections. Generally: With the use of BHT to treat herpes infections of all types: The outbreaks and sores diminish over time with DAILY DOSING with 250mg to 500mg of BHT per day. Some have reported an immediate END to all outbreaks. But that is NOT the usual pattern. Most often the BHT treatment gradually decreases the occurence and severity of said outbreaks. Those sores that occur.

Also: Anon has good advice: If you have NO problem taking BHT, DOUBLE DOSING with BHT when a herpes outbreak occurs is helpful. And BHT dissolved in isopropanol [ rubbing alcohol as sold in drugstores ] is effective as a TOPICAL TREATMENT ONLY. NEVER drink isopropanol. It is TOXIC if imbibed.

I try and be very clear about all this....Oscar

I have had an ongoing issue with a whitish discharge, doesn't seem to smell, but I notice it every time I shower & clean myself out. I've made appointments with my gyno but every time she checks me out she cannot find anything, maybe because I'm showering before I go in (not sure), but each time she's prescribed antibiotics which haven't worked. So I gave up! It seems like I've had this forever. Question, is this normal or is it some kind of infection or STD? Just about 2 years ago I noticed a lesion on the outside top part of my vagina still in the pink area right before the hair. I again went to my gyno & she said I had Herpes, which is really surprising to me since I've been with my husband almost 22 years & have not been with another man. Just recently I've been having break outs from this, which is leaving me feeling fluish each time - I'm wondering if the 2 are some how related. If any one else has this problem & what anyone recommends for me to use. I am new here but I am not into medications & would love to hear about some natural cures. I've been reading on here for months but don't know really how to tell what exactly I should be using, ugh - help!!! I think doctors are to easy to prescribe antibiotics & I refuse to be their test subjects any longer.

It could be herpes Zoster which is a form of shingles and can be very painful, there is a cream they prescribe for it . Shingles usually follow an emotional event or stress and can outbreak in many places on the body including the eye.

What I have is not a rash & is not that painful until the lesion bursts open (just a bit of stinging), so I highly doubt that it is Herpes Zoster/Shingles. I just get it in 2 spots right next to my hairline in my vaginal area. It started with one spot, but then I think it spread to another by being infected by the other. That was before I realized I had to make sure it was covered so it wouldn't spread. I believe it did start a few years ago - during the year of my first outbreak my daughter's boyfriend was killed in a car accident, a month later my father died, then a month later after that my brother died. So it definitely started after a stressful period in my life. My gyno also asked me if I husband gets cold sores & said that is possibly how I got it by having oral sex during one of his outbreaks, is this possible. I read something about putting hydrogen peroxide right on the lesion full strength - has anyone else tried this?

Shingles can settle in the nerves with no visible signs on the skin, pain can last for years in the nerves.

Coconut oil is anti viral and treats some venerial diseases. Ingesting a small amount 1/2 tsp. and increasing as tolerated up to 1/4 cup a day. Apply topically, you could have die off symptoms so GO SLOW.

Sorry you had to go through so much trauma in such a short time frame. B vitamins help with stress, ( when you feel like eating all the time, you have too much ).

So very much has been written and documented about the effectiveness of BHT as a treatment for ALL forms of the herpes viruses, I am surprised you have not heard about it. It seems surely worth a try. BHT cured me of one of the oral types of herpes virus. I used the 250mg of BHT per day with water only on an empty stomach method. BHT can also be mixed with regular type isopropanol you can by at any drugstore for use as a TOPICAL TREATMENT ONLY....Oscar

Dear Sherry,

I am very sorry for your recent and sudden losses. What you are describing sounds like herpes sores and I think you may be in a outbreak cycle from profound grief. Grief is one of the main triggers for genital herpes outbreaks. Unfortunately, an outbreak cycle can go on for many months so you might work to strengthen your immune system as soon as possible. I wouldn't waste too much energy focusing on how you could have gotten genital herpes. It does happen to a lot of people, even older ones. I know a couple of people who got it in their 60s for the first time.

People have good results lessening the severity of a genital herpes outbreak using medicinal mushrooms for the immune system and olive leaf capsules. Regular acupuncture treatments would help alleviate grief, and in my opinion, will be a very important component to stopping an outbreak cycle. I don't know much about BHT, but Oscar's recommendation sounds like a good one to research. Please keep us updated.

I've never heard of medicinal mushrooms, but I did try olive leaf extract for a year, continuously twice a day at the exact same time each day, but it did nothing. I will research the medicinal mushrooms however.

HI U AUSTIN, , , , , , , thank you for your URL and I will use it because we have a medical ozone generator and go to Atlanta for ozone treatments that we can't do at home.

I run up a RED FLAG with your comment that a woman can use vaginal ozone insufflation for hours. That is not what directions we have been given by the ozone generator manufacturer, literature, nor our ozone doctors. You say this so flippantly that it alarms me.

Permanent Cure for Genital Herpes

Posted by Andrew (Portland, Oregon) on 10/07/2014

Hi, I am concerned that I may have contracted Herpes and am searching vigorously for possible cures. I believe that there is a lot of bias in the American medical community, and the idea that Herpes and other viruses are "incurable" is merely the status quo. With corporate influences on the industry from pharmaceutical companies, who knows?

It looks like there's a strong community on here, so I thought this would be a great place to pose my question and see how much hope there is.

According to American medical standards, if a disease's signs have not returned after 5 years, it is considered cured. I think the standard was made for mostly experimental reasons, such as cancer research.

So, who has 1) experienced NO outbreaks or symptoms for at least 5 years AFTER using a specific remedy (without using the remedy itself during those 5 years - I don't count a disease to be cured or virus eradicated if you're dependent on something indefinitely), and 2) has been RETESTED and received a negative result AFTER having tested positive initially?

I think if those 2 conditions are met, it's pretty likely the disease is cured, for good.

Also, if you are cured, what worked for you, exactly?

Thank you for any responses. I'm really looking for answers and hope.

Hi. Someone who is cured by changing his diet using everything from the onion family.. Onion, garlic, shallots, chives, leeks. Boil and drink. He's been retested many times and nothing in the blood. No symptoms and is herpes free. Also, use plain cooked unseasoned flounder with pure coconut water for a while. Watch your organs. Regimen for days, vitamins, herbs, iridologist or Dr supervision. Founder's loaded with lysine. People cured.

Somewhat, till I found out flounder cures. Flounder loaded with lysine. Cook plain unseasoned, take vitamins, real green coconut water, herbs... Best to get supervised while on regimen. The man who got cured did it while being supervised by iridologist. His weight, blood counts were constantly monitored, organ. She was also a medical Dr.30days regimen with no food. Too much lysine destroys liver.. So one size does not fit all. Read also "onion family" cures on EC. Must change diet..

Oregano Oil

I just recently contracted herpes so I have not had it long. I firmly beileve that it is not incurable. I believe there is a cure but we aren't allowed to know it since there's so much many info just suppressing the virus. I have researched and researched and I have read numerous articles as well as people's stories about how it is indeed possible to cure herpes with 100% oregano oil. I'm going to be buying some soon as well as changing my diet as it was suggested. Just really want to hear thoughts on this. :)

Oregano Oil

Posted by Tony (Tn, US) on 09/20/2014

Ppod from London! I have to totally agree with you about the Oil of Oregano for treating herpes. I tried the Wild Mediterranean source as well but the supplement never touched my herpes outbreaks. I used it for 6 months straight too. This was pretty expensive as well. I was taking it in pretty high doses internally as well as applying it topically to the spinal area where genital herpes hides. I was using close to 1 bottle per month at I believe around $45 bottle the best I can remember.

I've not had much success at all with any supplements though in treating my long term herpes (20+ years) problem. I'm on the BHT protocol right now and hopefully I will see some improvement with this soon. I'm at just over 2 months now on the BHT treatment so I've got to give it a while longer before evaluating the results. Hope you find a solution for your herpes because what works for one doesn't mean it will work for all. God Bless!

Oregano Oil

Posted by Tony (Tn, US) on 09/21/2014

To Prioris from FL. I haven't necessarily used Probiotics for treating my chronic & long term herpes infection. I've been taking them for digestive issues.

I've been on both the supplement form of probiotics as well as making my own water kefir from grains. Kefir water is much more powerful than taking probioitics in supplement form.

I do combine them both though but use them at different times of the day. I don't use them at the same time. The water kefir has helped me quite a bit with digestion but not with the herpes part of my sickness.

I use these probiotics all in pretty high doses too so if it was going to do anything for my herpes I would have seen it by now. Been doing this for months. I'm just keeping my trust in the BHT protocol now but am considering taking that protocol up a notch or 2. Thanks & God Bless!

I agree, don't do either. Use a natural cure, not pills. I am a dentist and mouth herpes I haven't seen at all; very rare here anywhere.

Supplements

Posted by Oscar (Syracuse, New York) on 09/11/2014

Well, there is BHT [ butylated hydroxytoloene ] and a very many people have successfully used BHT to treat ALL types of herpes viruses including genital herpes. BHT alone does it. You do NOT need or desire a laundry list of additional supplements for BHT to work. In fact the BHT treatment works best if kept simple. Use BHT only, by itself with a gulp of water on an empty stomach. One or two 250mg to 350mg capsules of BHT per day does work for many people as a treatment for genital herpes....Oscar

Four Thieves Oil

Four Thieves essential oil for Herpes type viruses.

At the first sign of discomfort, rub Four Thieves on the base of spine. Do this at your convenience through out the day. Takes 48 hours for all symptoms to disappear. WARNING: this oil can burn! Test it out on you skin first and wait a while after taking a shower due to pores being open (more likely to burn). I hope this works for others as well as it has worked for me. Also, no need to buy the most expensive brand!

BHT, Oil Pulling

Posted by Pookie65 (Hampshire, England) on 05/23/2014

Greetings from the UK! I have recently been researching natural remedies for HSV and HPV and stumbled across Earth Clinic. I am currently looking to improve my overall health by detoxing my body, eating healthily etc prior to starting either an H202 protocol or the BHT protocol (sooooo much information about both, I am feeling like a rabbit in headlights! ) I think I am leaning towards BHT...

I am a long term HSV sufferer (although I use the term 'sufferer' relatively loosely, as I tend to get only 2 - 3 mild OB's a year. I was diagnosed in 2001, sucked it up and got on with my life. I believe (although not formally diagnosed) I have had HPV for approximately 4 years also (a fellow HSV partner, who very kindly shared this 2nd gift).

As part of my research for getting uber healthy in preparation for the BHT protocol, I have been reading about the benefits of oil pulling - does anybody know of any reasons why I could not combine this while on BHT? I want to give my body the best chance possible, so am concerned that one might contra-indicate the other in some way... I would be opting for the 100% pure organic coconut oil.

This is a great site by the way, I wish I had searched for it many years ago!

Genital Herpes Diagnosis 2 days Ago

I'm taking acyclovir, but the pills were quite pricey at $120 for a bottle of 70 pills. I would like to do something a little more natural and less expensive.

I've been reading about cornstarch as a way to dry up the sores, and I tried it today and got instant relief from the burning rawness. I actually felt happy today for the first time in a week or so since the first sore appeared, and maybe I can get a goodnight sleep. I am going to try some of these remedies listed here in the future, but hopefully I can avoid having another outbreak for awhile with the regular use of ACV as suggested in some of the posts. I love that I have a bunch of it in my cupboard just ready to use!

Thank you for being here. I don't feel quite so alone anymore.

Hi Chris, the symptoms have drastically reduced. So, I am now on the p73 oregano oil 3 times a day and coconut oil 3 times a day - a 20ml tablespoon. I've stopped taking as much vitamin C. Wasn't sure how long to take such high doses. I got to 24g a day. May try that again. I'm hoping that I'll have good news at 6 months of trying which will be April. I have days on end where it's like I don't have anything wrong. But then something triggers the mildest of tingles to remind me. Will keep you posted.

Ozone Therapy

Posted by Jasonbourne (Location Usa) on 10/22/2013
★★★☆☆

WORKED TEMPORARILY

I called Dr Robbins in NYC. He told me that he had treated many herpes patients with ozone therapy and there are 3 types of Ozone therapy, but the method Dr Robbins uses is an injection of air directly in the vein of the arm. The normal treatment is 3 times a week for a few months. I was coming from out of town and I was told we were going to do "what I call the Dr. Robbins fast track method" twice a day for 6 days per week for 3 weeks in total. I was told only 3 patients have an outbreak after treatment. Dr Robbins told me that they were probably reinfected due to their risky lifestyle (eg, a couple that swings)

During the treatment I was told to take as much Vitamin C as possible..I took 2,000 mg every 2 hours.

After 3 weeks of treatments I went and I got tested and I still had the virus. I eventually went 6 weeks and I still had the virus.

Before the treatment. I had many outbreaks as one was healing another would begin. During the treatment. I had one outbreak right as I started and then none for the entire time. I took that as progress and possibly cured. I did double the time I was told I would need.

A few weeks after going out after the treatment I started getting outbreaks again. This is my experience with the ozone therapy.

I just started doing the Bob Beck protocol and it has been 2 weeks...To early to tell

I will say there were other patients there for other ailments that were making progress from Ozone therapy.

Posted by Timh (Ky, Usa) on 10/23/2013 2048 posts

@Jasonbourne: It is essential to keep the body a little on the alkaline side PH because that greatly increases tissue oxygenation. Also, combining 35% FG H2O2 up to 15 drops 2x daily in combination w/ O3 therapy would seem impossible to not have a therapeutic affect.

Also, Lipheric Vit-C is the most powerful, by far, form of C. BHT and Chanca Piedra are very good antivirals.

I am now only getting a tingle for say 15 minutes bi-monthly. I want it gone though and then get tested. How much DMSO do you put on so you do not get sick now? Thanks very much and please keep us posted. Did you get a positive HSV2 test? Will you do another test soon?

Oregano Oil, DMSO

Posted by Happygirl (Dallas, Tx) on 10/11/2013

I put a very light coat. The DMSO that I use has a creamy texture, so I just basically run one finger half way across the top of the jar. Just enough to get some on my finger. First, I'll rub the oregano oil onto my spine, then the DMSO follows on top. It seems to be working for me. This is the first time in close to a year that I haven't had any symptoms!!! I'm so happy..... my fingers are crossed it will remain this way.

Yes, I did test positive for HSV2 antibodies back in Dec/2012. Since then, it's been non-stop w/the tingles/irritation. That is until I started the OOO/DMSO!! I may retest if I don't have any symtoms or OB's in about 4 months, or so.

Wow, you do 10 drops? 3 times a day both orally and externally?? How long have you been doing this?? That's awesome you only too only get the tingles and nothing more. Full on OB's hurt. :(

I too still take Vitamin C, but it's just the regular amount, nothing crazy like I was doing. Try the DMSO, I honestly believe this is what has made the difference for me....

L-Lysine

Posted by Novastar (Los Altos, Ca) on 02/17/2014 2 posts

Lysine definitely works but it unfortunately is not a cure for me, but it helps me manage the symptoms. If I know I have a stressful time coming or I have my menstrual time coming, I'll take one 1000mg per day to prevent. If I am feeling some irritation or flu like symptoms ill take 3-4000mg. Nuts/ vegetarian diet is also contraindicated for this issue due to the argentine but only when my immune system is low. There have been times when I'm really living well that I can eat nuts or anything and don't even remember I have this but add in just a little stress and its recipe for disaster. Still searching for a more lasting cure...

I have been taking 4 20ml tablespoons or organic coconut oil daily along with 5 drops of oil of oregano 3 times a day under my tongue since my 1st outbreak in June. I have not had another outbreak, but still get bi-monthly tingles. I am also rubbing oregano oil on my spine 3 times daily but not convinced that's doing anything. Every month is a test since I know I still have herpes when I get that dreaded tingle which is so tiny but is a reminder. In my mind the symptoms are seriously not noticeable but I just want all symptoms gone! I will post again WHEN I don't get that monthly tingle. Once that happens for 3 months in a row I will get a blood test and report back.
