Hi everybody
Yes this is embarrassing but I just don’t know where else to turn for advice. I have gotten cold sores (the oral herpes virus) for the last few years, but usually only 1 outbreak a year or so. I went raw about 3 months ago and since then I have been having outbreaks every 2 weeks. It is killing me. The outbreak lasts about 5 days and then a week and a half later it happens again. I can’t help but think it’s detox, but I feel like I am just suffering here and I’m wondering how long this is going to last. Has anybody been through anything like this and how long can detox take? I can’t take these constant recurring outbreaks for much longer. Does anyone know about herbal remedies that I might try? Anyone who has suffered from oral herpes knows it’s uncomfortable and embarrassing. I don’t know what to do!
Thank you!!

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the advice (and sympathy!). I am going to explore some natural options. And stop eating nuts!!
Sad to hear but it's not so scary. I use colloidal silver and some creams to reduce outbreaks but my advise is to go to your doctor. He/she know what is the best way to solve it
I did get that ones a year to my lips and i learnt to use a peppermint essential oil!!
It really do help. Ever since i put it daily to my lips because it also plumps them lips! My lips tend to shrink and go blue when its cold, but not anymore! Been using it for a 2 years now and only ones got a cold sore. And when it came i even put a Tea Tree essential oil to my lips, and i think that was even faster healing than with the peppermint. Try one of them!
Why are you still on a detox diet if it makes you so uncomfortable? It sounds like your herpes has become chronic, contact your doctor. Reconsider your diet, nuts, for example, are extremely allergenic and contain a lot of histamines. Herpes is a disease from which you cannot get rid of yet, but you can maintain a long period of remission.
