COLD SORE NUTRITION - 3

Vitamin supplements are your best cold sore treatment - if you want to prevent the outbreaks of cold sores, fever blisters, oral herpes.

Nearly 90% of the world population carry the herpes simplex type 1 or type 2 virus. Of these, about 33% will never get a cold sore, fever blister or oral herpes outbreak of any sort.
Why? What makes them different?

Well, as you know, herpes simplex virus is the root cause of cold sores and genital herpes outbreaks. But, understanding that, what causes the outbreaks for some and not others?

Primarily it is their higher immune system function, which is based on their physical health, and degree of stress that the body can handle. Basically, the stronger their health, the stronger their immune system. Their level of health is based on two things: nutrition and exercise.

The most important for a high level of health is nutrition. You can live without exercise, but you will die without nutrition.

For many years, I believed as the doctors did - that vitamin supplements were unnecessary. The American Medical Association continually stated that the foods we eat provided all the vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other nutritional constituents needed for good health.

But the more research I did, the more I found this not to be true. In fact, people with chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer, etc. were starving from lack of specific nutrients. I discovered that all chronic diseases are due to lack of proper nutritional substances.

When I tried to explain this to my doctor friends, they pretty much kept the viewpoint of the American Medical Assn..

Then a real shocker.

In the June 19, 2002 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association it was announced: "Suboptimal intake of vitamins should be seen as a risk factor for chronic disease, especially in the elderly."

Finally, after decades, they admit to being wrong about getting enough nutrition from the foods we eat. And that good nutrition is essential to our immune system function.

And it's your immune system that will prevent cold sores, fever blisters, oral herpes.
