Hydrogen Peroxide
Posted by Joanne (Taos, New Mexico) on 07/19/2008

I suffered greatly from genital herpe
s on a regular basis until I tried hydrogen peroxide. I was in the painful blister stage when I first tried it, and applied H2O2 with a cotton ball to the area, almost "scubbing" the blisters down because they were so painful and the area was so itchy. Miracle of miracles--it relieved the pain and itch almost immediately, and the next day the problem was reduced by 95%.
Now if I have an outbreak I usually ignore it until it gets uncomfortable, then apply the H202. It seems to be most effective when blisters have formed or are at least beginning, but I have also found I could prevent it from reaching that point by applying earlier.
Knowing that it is easy to fix once it gets worse, I usally can't be bothered to get out the hydrogen peroxide until it gets annoying. I don't pass on the chocolate or other foods that cause breakouts either anymore. I hope you will try it and that it will be a miracle for you as it has been for me.

Just a thought for everyone using hydrogen peroxide (3% liquid) on HSV2 outbreaks.
The acne cream, benzoyl peroxide, is sold at most pharmacies. It is a thick cream and is sold in 5% and 10% concentrations. Maybe it would be easier to use for this purpose.
It will bleach your clothes and probably hair though... So wear white undies and be prepared to go orange or blonde! Who cares if it penetrates better though, right?

I was totally devasted five month ago when i was diagnose with HSV2, the pain and the depression that come along with, and this site is a God sent. I change my diet and insert Coconut Oil in all my ailment. ( i find it delicious :) The second outbreak came a month later, but with no pain. so i use along with the coconut oil, the BOL and the DSMO. I have yet have another outbreak. Hope it stay that way. So, I keep you posted.
Stabilized Oxygen

I found out about Stabilized Liquid Oxygen and DMSO and used both whenever I felt an outbreak coming on. I used to have between 2 and 4 outbreaks a year. I have not had a single outbreak in 2 years. They stopped after using the S.L.O. and DMSO, only when I felt an outbreak coming on, for approximately a year. I really couldn't believe it. I kept waiting for another outbreak thinking I just hadn't been stressed enough to trigger one, but 2 years later, nothing, and I've definitely had some serious, nervous breakdown, kind of stress during that period. I also told a friend of mine, who has had HSV1 since she was a kid, about it, and she used it with great success also. I tried to go back and get a blood test to see if I was "cured", but the doctor said it would be a waste of money because the virus is so illusive. She said even if you've been diagnosed it is not always present in the bloodstream. I guess this is because of the virus being either active or inactive. I also have a feeling she thought it was pointless because according to them, once you've got it, you've got it for life. I don't know if I am cured, but I will tell you, since I was diagnosed in 2000, I had never gone more than 6 months without an outbreak, and here I am 2 years, outbreak free. I am not on any medication or anything. I only used it when I first found out, and had no success with it. It seemed to actually make me break out more frequently so I stopped. If you can afford to pay for that prescription every month, giving this a shot is nothing. I don't know how it will work for others, but I wish everyone great success with it. No one deserves to live with the discomfort or emotional pain of this disease. Best of luck!

This site is a blessing is all I can say. I tried almost every remedy on the site for genital herpes and they didn't work for me personally. My herpes is somewhat asymptomatic i don't have any pain just an itchy bump. Last year I had one that broke open and my doctor said it was herpes. Anyway I got another this past monday so I bought stabalized oxygen last night. I added 8 drops to a 8 oz glass of water before i went to bed. This morning the bump is almost gone and no more itch!!! I used and oxygen that also has amino acid & trace minerals. The studies and testimonials i've read about oxygenation made sense to me. I think you need to kill the virus from the inside out ... i will get tested again I pray for a negative test . Best of luck to all of you. I've also prayed alot I feel God led me to a cure.
Dietary Changes

In the past i have always used anti viral drugs to control my outbreaks. After 8 years of very frequent outbreaks & almost daily medication i can say that i have finally found the key to my problem:a healthy diet. When i was diagnosed, i was never explained any information about how diet can influence or bring on an outbreak.I was told that antiviral medication is what i needed, with out any knowledge of other more healthier,natural alternatives. So since reading & sourcing as much information i could find on controlling my outbreaks, i discovered that eating foods high in alkaline & avoiding foods high in acid completely knocked out my outbreaks. Lemon/Limes are a big part of my diet & i can say that these amazing fruits avoiding chocolate,coffee,beer etc have turned my life around for the better :)

He is right! I can testify I used stabilized oxgyen starting in 05 changed my diet, with healthy eating and exercise, no problems. And it is true the (FDA) will not recognize this because it will put every Dr,Pharmacutical company you can think of out of business. There is no second guessing give it at least 6 months and I promise you. You will see results permanetely. I used to take medicine for my outbreaks every now and then not any more Oxygen works for pretty much every virus, and ailement that people suffer from because we lack the proper amounts in are bodies. Don't let any one give you doubts you have to take control. it works!!

Garlic, Cayenne, ACV, Fiber, Distilled Water

I discovered this site about two months ago and was seeking treatments and cures for a variety of ailments. I have suffered from herpes for years and noticed I was having outbreaks every few weeks. I really thought that my immune system was collasping or something. Anyway I did several things and have been sypmtom free for over two months. Thats the longest outbreak free period I have had in over fifteen years. Here is what I did. I immediately stopped ingesting aspartame and all other artificial sweetners immediately. I then began drinking the following mix first thing each morning. I crush one clove of garlic, add a teaspoon of cayeene pepper,one capful of apple cider vinegar and then add about six ounces of distilled water. I also cleaned my colon by merely taking five fiber capsules three times a day. I did this regimen for two weeks straight. I noticed that my blood pressure returned to normal, my digestive system problems stabalized, and I have been outbreak free. I have now come to believe that most of our health problems is a result of internal pollution in the form of toxins. Once we clean ourselves out, add "natural" products such as herbs, ACV, and fiber, our bodies are then able to do the rest and heal. Good luck to everyone.
Bach Flower Remedies

Okay, I wanted to update from the last message I sent on 1/10/07: I had one outbreak but it didn't last long in Feb. (about 3 days). This past Friday (3/9/07) I had one lesion (triggered by a urinary tract infecton) that is gone as of today (3/12/2007). This has never happened to me before. I think the flower therapy is working. Some may read this and think differently but being that I've suffered from this since 1988, with each outbreak lasting 7 days, this is progress!! Further, all of the telltale signs of an outbreak (pain in the leg, extreme itching and pain during the outbreak) have diminished at least 75%. I think I will stick with the Bach Flower Therapy for good. It's certainly much cheaper. I take 2000 mg (a safe dosage to take everyday from what I've researched) of lysine daily and up the dosage when I've had an outbreak. I'm not sure if this is helping but I'm going to stick with the regimen I'm on. I will definitely update you again. Thank you so much! What a relief after 19 years!
Ivy-Dry

Ivy-Dry (dual acting spray purchased from Walgreen Drug Store 6 FL OZ bottle for about $8.00) This product relieves itching, oozing, and weeping associated with minor skin irritations from poison ivy, oak, and sumac. It also cured Herpes outbreaks.
Herpes outbreaks have lesions or small blisters. I have found that if I use Ivy-Dry on these lesions they will dry up and start to heal within 24 hours. Remember that this product is an external skin protectant that relieves the itching, oozing and weeping associated with minor skin irritations and rashes. After the healing process begins I see some dry dead skin begin to peel from the affected area of treatment. I would not recommend to over use this product as it will dry out your skin.(Normally two applications will clear up my out break. I spray the affected area once at night and once again in the morning. I also used this product after intercourse to prevent outbreaks ) Before using any product read the label first !
I have also started taking one capsule of red marine algae daily and I am outbreak free!

Bach Flower Remedies

The past three years, I have had an outbreak of genital herpes outbreak every few months. I altered my diet, stayed out of the sun, stopped drinking alcohol... all the things you are supposed to do. Also took lysine daily. I then went on medication. The meds helped the severity of the outbreaks, but still did not stop the bi monthly outbreak cycle. In desperation, I looked on the internet and saw Earth Clinic's suggestion for flower remedies as a potential cure. I was skeptical, but willing to try... I located the brand of flower remedy you recommended at a holistic pharmacy and started applying it (holly and walnut) in diluted form to the outbreak area. I also took it internally 4x a day. That was a few months ago and I have not had another outbreak! I still continue to take the remedy internally a few times a day. The minute I feel that tingling, warning sensation, I put a few drops on the area a few times a day and nothing manifests. Wow. Such relief!! Can't tell you how grateful I am. Thank you Thank you Thank you!

Dear Earth Clinic, I thought in sharing some information that has helped me. Organic extra virgin Coconut oil which contains 50-55% of luric acid that actually destroys the chemical composition of any virus including AIDS, in fact in the Philippines are curing it with this remedy. Now I can work out again with out feeling my body weak and my out breaks have been reduced 80%. about 1 spoonful a day Thank you for your great forum. Regards.
Castor Oil

I would like others to try this, which has helped me so far. I ran across an article that I will attach. It shows how castor oil stops the replication of the virus in animals up to 85 percent. I use that with oregano oil and other herbs, plus I use a Magnesium spray every day in the shower because I'm told magnesium is important for the body to function properly. I rub castor oil all over my body from my feet to my head, sometimes mixing in cocoa butter or another cream because it's thick.
Does Castor Oil Help Treat Herpes Outbreaks? What Research Shows (www.medicinecontact.com/blog/39587/castor-oil-for-herpes) check out link but this is the part that caught my eye.
What Does Research Say About Castor Oil and Herpes?
There are currently no large scale human studies that look at castor oil's effectiveness in treating herpes outbreaks. However, some preliminary laboratory research suggests castor oil does have antiherpes activity:
A lab study found that castor oil was able to inhibit HSV-1 virus replication by 60% to 85%. The ricinoleic acid in castor oil was thought to be responsible for this antiherpes activity.
An animal study showed that castor oil liposomes inhibited HSV-2 vaginal lesions in mice when applied topically. The treatment also delayed lesion development.
Another lab study indicated castor oil exhibited antiviral effects against acyclovir-resistant strains of HSV-1. This suggests it may be effective for drug-resistant herpes infections.
While these early results are promising, human clinical trials are still needed to confirm if castor oil can effectively treat herpes symptoms. Always talk to your healthcare provider before using castor oil or any alternative remedy. Do not use castor oil by itself to manage herpes long-term.
Risks and Precautions When Using Castor Oil for Herpes
When using castor oil for herpes treatment, keep these precautions in mind:
- Do a patch test on a small area of skin before wider application to check for allergic reactions.
- Avoid getting castor oil in eyes as it can cause irritation.
- Discontinue use if skin becomes painful, overly dry or inflamed.
- Only use externally on affected areas. Do not ingest castor oil.
- Speak to your doctor before using castor oil on genital herpes sores or if pregnant.
- Do not rely solely on castor oil to treat herpes long-term or prevent outbreaks.
- See a doctor right away if herpes symptoms do not improve within a week of using castor oil.
- While considered relatively safe for external use, some people may be allergic or sensitive to castor oil. It's a good idea to do a patch test first. Seek medical care if you experience any severe reactions after using castor oil.

Black Seed Oil

The EMF's from my laptop on my lap is a huge trigger for a herpes outbreak for me. The heat doesn't help either, but it's the EMF's that sets it off, deeply. I'd been too heads down on some work stuff to pay attention to my health for a while and neglected taking my normal supplements for quite a while. I gave myself some really deep and difficult outbreaks. As soon as I started taking my Black Seed Oil again (internally), almost immediate relief. I do 1-3 teaspoons a day depending. Spread out or all at once. Topically, Castor Oil helps along with the DMSO/Aloe with rose-scented lotion.
Hydrogen Peroxide
Posted by Cured1012 (Los Angeles ca ) on 12/04/2022
Hello I have been experiencing genital herpes since since 2007. I have had one ob after another. My md put me on valtrex since 2008 and took valtrex for about ten years. I started taking 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide in 2018 for about one month, when I was diagnosed with colon cancer. My outbreaks stopped for about three months. I was not on valtrex for those three months. Because I had a foot removed from my colon my healer and I decided for me not to go on the fghp. After three months of I began to experience ob again. I decided not to go back on valtrex and went two years having back to back ob. It was very taxing to my ego and self esteem.
During this two years I was on a plant based diet and tried everything. Lysine, monosaurin, olive leaf, ozone, tea tree oil, Dr.Robert Morse, oregano oil. After about two years I stayed on some of the supplements and got back on 1/8 of a dose of valtrex that I used to take and I had very infrequent obs. I have purchased fghp and want to circle back to ingest it and follow the one minute c--e book protocol. I promise to report back on whether my body responds. I'm pretty hopeful. Anyone have any tips they may want to share I'm all ears. We're all in this together and know once I'm cured will be there to help others as much as I can to help them get past their herpes.

hello cured1012. fghp is an amazing product for many things. Can I suggest drinking lemon water... You could squeeze the juice of 1 lemon into .....1 litre of filtered water. drink the litre in small amounts (in 1-2 days). keep taking ...never stop! Also 'orally' take 2 big spoons of organic coconut oil oil (or more) every 1-2 days........
For ob apply coconut oil followed with DMSO gel. research DMSO!
Tumeric or (curcumin) capsules 2 per day.. taken every day (dont forget! ) can stop ob
Cheers

I have heard herpes was healed by putting on a bandaid with a mix of ivermectin and Neosporin for 2 days. Supposedly the blisters cleared up within a week to 10 days.
