haha, i didnt make it up. yeah, was wondering what you guys thought. Interesting

you buy the 35% food grade h2o2 and then drop only a few drops into a 8oz sprayer of pure water. For sure applying 35% undiluted would be terrible lol. Idk, have you ever used h2o2 topically? I have, it works quite well. Of course im not saying its a cure but i was jus wondering if anyone had any experience actually trying it.

I was wondering if anyone tried the whole hydrogen peroxide thing for hsv? Its like you drop food grade hydrogen peroxide in pure water and spray it on your hips and back (if u have hsv2) and use some dmso cream to have it sink into your body. Supposedly it can help drastically and in some cases "cure" hsv2. I was wondering if anyone here has heard of this and has tried it? I ordered the h2o2 and cream from amazon and am still considering if im gonna try it. There was one website i read where people were talking about the same thing except they would drink the water with the drops of h2o2. Some people said they were cured after months of very painful diligence. However, there were a couple people that said that their situation with hsv got worse and in some cases their area that hsv2 affects even moved from where it normally happens! Thats scary for me cause i have my OBs below my belly button and it would suck if it moved down more! In any case i find that h2o2 is useful in treating hsv2 outbreaks topically so itll be useful for that

I'm going to a music festival this week and am thinkin about what drugs to take (if any). I've taken ecstacy in the past and I've noticed it takes a toll on my immune system and can cause an OB in the aftermath. It's a three day event so I gotta be careful about not crushing my immune system on the first two days lol (or at all). I'm wondering what anyone else's experiences are with drugs and hsv. I have hsv2. At the very least I'm going to drink a fair bit of alcohol I'd imagine but it got me to thinking, if I'm going to drink, that's also taxing on my immune system as well right? I'm wondering about how taxing decent amount of alcohol consumption is compared to other drugs. I want to have a good time but I'm trying to be intelligent about it. Obviously I could just do no drugs and drink lightly but.. I think it would be more fun to do some drugs if I can pull it off without inducing an OB. Any thoughts appreciated, Thanks-

haha yeah i def fckd up limiting the arginine so stringently. as far as ED, i mean, i wouldnt be a good person to ask, i would say its pretty damn mild ED but ofc any ED is scary when youve never experienced it before. Im sure the mild case is due to arginine deficiency and maybe porn-induced (theres some pretty interesting stuff on porn induced ED which i never knew about before).

Yeah i think ive been over limiting the arginine though. What is the tesla thing?

Im 26 and am not a very stressed type of person. I read the valtrex has hair loss as a side effect but havent read the same about famvir. I will look into what the differences are in them that causes the hair loss in valtrex but not famvir. Ive always been pretty strict on limiting the arginine just because when i got my second outbreak (before i knew it was herpes) i was munching on trail mix nuts and MnMs for three days straight at school. So i felt there was some correlation. However, chocolate and nuts are known to have the worst arginine/lysine ratio of all the foods. I went on to limit pretty much everything that had a bad ratio. I still ate rice and stuff so i didnt cut out grains and everything but i definitely have not eaten any chocolate or nuts in like 3 years. Its very possible and likely that my arginine levels are relatively low. I just had no idea that arginine played such a vital role in hair growth and sexual functioning and here i am limiting it like crazy and 3 years later what am i experiencing somewhat randomly? hair loss and mild erectile dysfunction at 26 years old. Just crazy- im hoping eating more arginine helps on both fronts. It seems famvir is pretty efficient in lessening the duration and severity of an outbreak once it comes (if you catch it early enough) so i think im going to bring arginine back into my life and use famvir when i feel a potential outbreak coming. If i get a real outbreak im going to start using topical treatments to aid in the healing (propolis/aloe/hydrogen peroxide - all of which ive never used before). Juries still out on the lysine though, i dont know if i want to take lysine everyday if my goal is to increase arginine in my system to normal levels. I dont know if the lysine inhibits the ability of arginine to circulate the blood and stimulate hair growth and sexual functioning etc. Also, in my first post i stated that in the past 3 years its been about 5-6 times a year that i had an outbreak. I just realized after thinking about it more that i overstated this, its been more like 2-3 real outbreaks a year that i used famvir to treat, but also like 2-3 times where i felt like i was gonna have an outbreak and used famvir (mightve stopped the outbreak). In the past couple months tho (my last two outbreaks) i decided to try and go without the famvir entirely because i suspected that maybe the famvir was causing the increased hair loss and sudden erectile dysfunction. In a way im really banking on the lack of arginine in my system being the main cause for the problems ive been having. That way i can just kick up the arginine and treat the outbreaks with famvir. Thats basically my plan for the next couple months. We will see what happens. No more saying no to chocolates! I havent had thai curry in 3 years bc im worried about the arginine from the coconut milk! And i fucking love yellow curry damnit! No worrying about the ratio in everything i consume. It could be that my body is just really sensitive to the arginine with respect to the outbreaks. I really hope this isnt the case cause then i have a much tougher problem on my plate. Getting enough arginine to stay healthy while living without tormenting outbreaks year round. Ideally id be medication free entirely. However, if the side effects are just what they say they are for famvir then im okay with using it. Unfortunately, i dont have much faith in the pharmaceutical companies and their honesty when it comes to revealing information about a product that can cause people to not use it (hair loss and ED are pretty bad side effects and potentially ones that multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical companies would be wary of listing).

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with HSV2 slightly more than 3 years ago. I instantly did research and discovered that the virus needs the amino acid arginine to replicate. I stopped eating things with lots of arginine and little lysine. I have always been wary of pharmaceuticals and long term side effects etc so i resolved to use the medication(Famvir) infrequently at best. I would use it when i would get a outbreak or sometimes when having regular sexual intercourse with a new girl. This continued for the last three years- stringently limiting my diet to not include foods with bad arginine/lysine ratios (totally stopped eating chocolate, nuts, cucumbers, onions, etc). Anyways, in the last two years especially two other things started to happen... My hair started falling out quite rapidly. I had some minor signs of hair loss before all this but nothing major. And also, i had two episodes where i couldnt get an erection in a normal circumstance. This is totally unusual and never happened before in the same way. I attributed the erection problem to be some porn watching masturbation thing and quit watching porn cold turkey since then (month and half or so) fwiw Well, come to find out recently, arginine is very important for sexual functioning and hair growth! Even with all the limiting of arginine i still had an outbreak 5-6 times a year for a week and a half each. I am thinking it might be much better now to re introduce the arginine into my system and treat the outbreaks when they come topically with propolis/aloe/lysine? And also use some immune system supplementation (Vitamin C, Zinc/copper). My question or concerns are: 1) Im confused about the way the arginine and lysine compete in the body. If i start eating a bunch of arginine rich foods but balance by eating lysine supplements will that control the outbreaks? But, will it also inhibit arginines good functions (producing nitric oxide and promoting circulation helping hair growth and sexual functioning)? 2) Im in a bit of a quandary because i am definitely experiencing hair loss and mild ED. Two things that seemed to have hastened since my severe diet change. However, i do have hsv2 and would not like to deal with constant outbreaks. 3) Ive taken Famvir intermittently for the last three years as well. Could that have contributed at all? It was always quite sporadically though and never on a daily basis for more than two weeks at a time. Its hard for me to deny the potential correlation to the severe limiting of arginine in my diet and the changes that have happened in my body in the last two years. Im just looking for the best possible way to handle this going forward. Any insights or help would be much appreciated.

Hello, I experience some redness around the area I generally get outbreaks as well. I am wondering if there is something we could put on it to help this. Brandon

is acyclovir superior to famciclovir or is it all the same?

Hey everyone, I've been consciously avoiding foods with arginine for about a year now and have been taking lysine pills. I dont know if it is related but my hair is starting to thin a bit and im only 24. im wondering if there is some connection. What does everyone think we should do about possible arginine deficiency? Should we just not avoid these foods? Or just make sure we dont eat them in excess? I have been avoiding them quite a bit so perhaps i am and some others are at risk of some arginine deficiency problems. Thoughts? experiences? Thank you! Brandon

Its really cool that you do all these things. Really bringing awareness and compassion to this topic. Thank you.

Hi everyone. Im 24 guy from Oahu, Hawaii. I was diagnosed about a year ago while i was in a relationship. The relationship ended about a month ago and now that i have to get back into the dating scene i have a lot of questions i didn't really have to confront until now. Anyways, I'm interested in a buddy to talk to about their experience, what works for them, etc etc. Man or Woman is cool. shoot me a message peeps

So far i had 3-4 outbreaks and they have been in the same spot. I hope they don't move lol shittttt. i hope i find a cool girl that is down even tho i got hsv2.. starting to feel a bit worried about it tho. i told one girl already, and we were about to have sex, we made out and everything was going good, then it didn't happen... discouraged me a bit.

Hi everyone! Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving! Me and my girlfriend of 4 years broke up recently and now have to think of dating again. I was wondering, if i have herpes in a localized location (mine's below my belly button) and i have sex with a girl that has hsv 2 as well and is shedding the virus, is it possible i can get the virus again in another localized location (like on my penis or genitals?) or is having the virus already gonna "protect" me from getting it again? Thanks for the information people! btw, do anyone of you guys date using a herpes online dating site or just normal dating and disclosing?
