Lysine=antivirals?

[TequilaGirl]

Idk how stupid this question is but I wonder if lysine could be the "natural" antivirals for H? It's a safe way to protect your partner if you take lysine instead of suppresive therapy? 

[herpnerve]

It is not a safe way to protect your partner as there aren’t studies on it. However, alongside antivirals it may have more benefit in terms of protection.

Yup, definitely take a probiotic.

I just had lab work done for my physical, and I believe the 1000mg of Lysine I take daily with my Valtrex has caused my calcium level to go up and possibly my cholesterol. I read that this could happen.

I am sorry to hear that! How long have you been taking the lysine?
