Health Protocols

Herpes Simplex

Diet

  1. There is some evidence that decreasing intake of arginine containing foods may decrease the replication of the herpes simplex virus. Combining low arginine intake along with lysine supplementation may significantly increase the effectiveness of such a diet. Nuts are a source of arginine.
  2. Refined carbohydrate intake may have a negative impact on immune function and thus may allow the virus to replicate.
  3. Limit trans-fatty acids as they can have a negative impact on immune function.

Lifestyle

  1. Stress is the biggest concern with people who are prone towards any kind of herpes infection whether we are talking cold sores, shingles, genital herpes or eye herpes infections. You should learn new coping mechanisms for stressful events. In situations where you find yourself in a stressed state, perform meditation, yoga or some other type of balancing practice.
  2. Exercise helps to maintain a healthy immune system and prevent the risk of all types of infections. Be sure to exercise only moderately because aggressive exercise can result in a temporary decreases in immune function that can open the door for herpes infection. Be sure to hydrate yourself and keep well nourished to keep the immune system fed and healthy during and after exercise.
