Secret method to cure cold sores
Cold sores are caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1). This virus lies
dormant for the most part of its life but when it gets triggered it attacks the sensitive
parts of the face. There is not a lot that is more embarrassing than having a big open
cold sore on your lip.
There is no limit for this virus; it can attack continuously any number of times. If you
are facing a cold sore for the first time then you need to consult your doctor for
advice. One common method to make the virus dormant is to use DMSO (Di methyl
Sulf oxide). Dimethylsulfoxide is a very powerful medication for cold Sores as it kills
the cells which cause the sore. The cold sore dies when these cells are killed and
the virus becomes weak and dormant. Dimethylsulfoxide liquid has the ability to
permeate living tissue. This gel is available in various concentrations. Generally it is
recommended to use 70% concentrate cream (do contact your doctor about exact
guidance). Results also have shown that people using DMSO had a quicker recovery
than non users. It is a potentially safe liquid and it is useful for recurrent herpes.
DMSO medication can be used in conjunction with other medications such as oral
acyclovir. It is generally recommended that DMSO be used on alternate days or
every other day. Please read the DMSO disclaimer and also take advice of your
doctor before using these products.
Visible blisters due to this virus last for 9 – 12 days and after this period virus enters
into remission period. There are two types of herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2.
Type 1 herpes simplex virus attacks the body parts above the waistline and type 2
virus attacks the body parts below the waistline.
There are anti viral medications and tropical treatments for this virus. There are also
reported cases of cure from alternate medicines. During visible viral attack one
should take adequate care of not transmitting this disease to others.
