Introduction

You're probably all too familiar with the feeling of living with herpes. The shame, the guilt, the fear of never being able to live a normal life again - it's a heavy burden to carry. But what if you could break free from this cycle of pain and discomfort? What if you could take control of your health and your life, and start living the life you deserve?

You're not alone in this struggle. Millions of people around the world are living with herpes, and many of them are searching for a way to manage their symptoms and prevent frequent outbreaks. But the good news is that there is hope. By making a few simple lifestyle changes, you can start to take control of your health and your life.

That's where "The Herpes-Free Blueprint" comes in. This ebook is a step-by-step guide to preventing frequent herpes outbreaks and reducing symptoms. It's a simple, easy-to-follow plan that has been proven to work.

In the following chapters, we'll be sharing the 5 crucial lifestyle changes that will help you prevent frequent herpes outbreaks and reduce symptoms. We'll be explaining each step in detail, and providing you with the resources and tools you need to take action. By the end of this ebook, you'll have a clear understanding of how to take control of your health and your life.

We will also address the biggest concerns about herpes and offer an alternative solution based on the latest research.

While we address myths about herpes and tackle the most common questions, the most important sections (in our opinion) deal with how herpes affects your body, the issue of 'a cure' for herpes, and our top recommendation to treat herpes (this section also explains how herpes works).

What Is Herpes Anyway?

Herpes is caused by a virus called the herpes simplex virus (HSV). This virus is made up of tiny pieces called "capsules". When the capsules are inside your body, they can travel to different parts of your skin or organs, like your mouth or genitals.

When HSV reaches these areas, it causes an infection. The infection can cause sores and blisters on your skin that are painful and itchy. These sores are how you know you have herpes.

How herpes works at a cellular level is addressed further in this book.

Chapter two

Two Major Types Of Herpes

There are two types of herpes: oral herpes and genital herpes. Oral herpes is caused by the HSV-1 virus, and it usually causes sores and blisters around the mouth. Genital herpes is caused by the HSV-2 virus, and it usually affects the genital area, causing sores and blisters there.

1 in 2 Americans deal with HSV-1 or otherwise known as oral herpes, and 1 in 8 Americans are infected with HSV-2 or genital herpes.

The main difference between oral and genital herpes is the location of the infection.

Oral herpes usually affects the mouth and can cause sores and blisters around the lips, chin, and cheeks.

Genital herpes usually affects the genitals, causing sores and blisters in that area. However, both types of herpes can be spread through skin-to-skin contact, even if there are no active symptoms.

The Top 10 Myths About Herpes: Separating Fact from Fiction

Herpes is a common sexually transmitted infection that affects millions of people worldwide. Despite its prevalence, there are many misconceptions and myths surrounding herpes that can lead to confusion, fear, and stigma.

In this section, we will explore the top 10 myths about herpes and separate fact from fiction.

By understanding the facts, we can work to reduce stigma and promote accurate information about the condition.

Whether you're living with herpes or just want to learn more about the condition, this section is designed to provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions about your health and well-being.

So, let's get started and explore the top 10 myths about herpes.

Myth 1: Only promiscuous people get herpes.

This myth is not true. Herpes can be easily spread without sexual contact. In fact, you may have received oral herpes from a simple kiss or skin-to-skin contact.

Since herpes can be dormant in someone's system for a long time before an outbreak, it's almost impossible to know exactly when a person was infected. Herpes is a common virus that can affect anyone, regardless of their sexual history or behavior.

Myth 2: If I don't have any sores, I don't have herpes.

This myth is not true. Herpes can lay dormant for years without causing any noticeable symptoms. Many people don't know they have it because they may not experience any symptoms at all.

The virus can remain dormant in the body and only cause symptoms during outbreaks, which can be triggered by stress, illness, or other factors. Even if you don't have any sores, you can still transmit the virus to others.

Myth 3: Herpes can’t be cured.

The traditional medical opinion is that herpes cannot be cured. However, there is research and clinical studies indicating success of certain natural herbal remedies.

The companies that produce and have isolated how herpes works in the body, and discovered natural remedies that help ‘turn off’ the herpes virus.

We also have testimonies from people who have taken these remedies and been ‘herpes free.’ .

Myth 4: You can only transmit herpes when you have an outbreak.

This myth is not true. Herpes is an interesting virus in that even when a person has no symptoms or outbreaks, there is still the possibility of transmitting the virus.

Though the risk of transmitting herpes is highest right before, during, and immediately after an outbreak, there is a chance that somebody with absolutely no symptoms will infect someone else.

Myth 5: A condom totally protects you from herpes during sex.

This myth is not true. While male condoms provide some protection against herpes, they do not fully protect you. Since herpes can spread through casual skin-to-skin contact, you can get herpes from a patch of skin not covered by a condom.

You can also get oral herpes by giving oral sex to someone with genital herpes, and get genital herpes by receiving oral sex from somebody with oral herpes.

Myth 6: You can get herpes by trying on bathing suits.

Thankfully, this myth is not true Herpes doesn’t survive well outside of the body and can’t “live” on other surfaces for a long enough time to infect you. According to the CDC, you cannot get herpes by sharing towels or trying on bathing suits.

Myth 7: Herpes is included in most STD/STI testing.

Nope Herpes is very rarely included in an STD/STI test. Although there are blood tests for herpes, most experts agree this is not the most accurate way to be tested, and the tests lead to false positives.

It’s better to wait for an outbreak and have the blister swabbed by a healthcare provider and sent to a lab.

Myth 8: Treating herpes is expensive.

Thankfully, this myth is not true. Treatment for herpes can be affordable. There are medications available that can help manage symptoms and prevent outbreaks, and many insurance plans cover these treatments.

There are also all-natural remedies we recommend. You’ll find a list at the back of this report.

Myth 9: Herpes can cause cervical cancer.

Nope There are neither any reports nor any evidence that suggests that the herpes virus can cause cervical cancer.

Myth 10: If you have genital herpes, you cannot have children.

This myth is not true. Herpes does not affect the childbearing capacity in either of the two sexes. There is a slight chance that the pregnant lady can pass the herpes virus to her baby during delivery.

However, some prescription medicines from a doctor can help prevent the mother to baby virus transmission.

By debunking these 10 common myths about herpes, we hope to have provided you with a clearer understanding of the condition and its realities. Herpes is a common and manageable condition that affects millions of people worldwide.

By separating fact from fiction, we can work to reduce stigma and promote accurate information about herpes.

Remember, herpes is not a reflection of your character or worth, and with the right information and support, you can live a healthy and fulfilling life despite the condition.

Chapter four

How Herpes Affects Your Body

Herpes is a viral infection caused by two types of herpes simplex viruses (HSV). These viruses can cause challenging symptoms and be spread through intimate contact. While both types of HSV have similar effects on the body, their locations often differ depending on type.

Type 1 HSV typically lives in the face, mouth and eyes, causing cold sores, fever blisters and eye infections. Type 2 HSV resides mainly in the genitals and can lead to pain, discomfort and itching in that area.

A little later, we will discuss the latest research on how herpes hides in your body, as well as how it affects your brain cells. For now, here is a glimpse of how herpes affects your body.

Both types may cause painful urination due to inflammation of the urethra which is connected to the genitals or bladder.

Outbreaks usually start with what's known as a prodrome which are warning signs that occur before the appearance of the virus itself. Telltale signs could be redness or slight swelling around infected areas followed by tingling sensations in those same spots.

Painful bumps or open sores will typically appear afterwards and grow more prominent with time. Herpes outbreaks last for about 10 days but can be managed with over-the-counter treatments such as creams and antiviral drugs like acyclovir, valacyclovir, famciclovir or Valtrex if needed.

NOTE: We offer better solutions in the following sections. Most over-the-counter remedies do not address the root cause of the problem; new research is paving the way for a more permanent cure.

Herpes can lead to painful direct contact with the virus, as well as serious indirect health implications. Complications such as meningitis and encephalitis cause inflammation in brain tissues or spinal cords respectively and require immediate medical attention.

In rare cases, shingles may arise due to a weakened immune system. This infection covers areas of skin with raised wounds or rashes along loose pathways.

Finally, it’s important to pay attention even after an outbreak has passed since new ones may revive if immune systems remain weak or vulnerable. This prolongs the previous signs while bringing additional aches or pains not seen before. Seeking appropriate treatment should always be one's first step towards wellness when dealing with herpes accordingly without delay.

Your Body Garden

Think of your body as a garden.

Herpes is like having a colony of insects in your garden. They come and go as they please, and they wreak havoc. They destroy plants and vegetation.

As a result, you have to work very hard to keep your garden healthy.

This is how herpes works. As it grows exponentially, it begins to cause symptoms such as itching, burning, or tingling around the affected area.

This means your immune system has to work overtime trying to get rid of the virus. This can lead to fatigue, fever, and other symptoms.

Chapter five

Is There A Cure For Herpes?

There is a lot of debate on this topic. Traditional medicine says, 'No. There is no permanent cure for herpes. Once it is in your body, it stays there forever. The best solution is to manage the outbreaks..'

However, many in the non-traditional (natural, alternative medicine) field believe it can be cured. At least, more than merely treating symptoms.

Disclaimer: At Herpes Digest we research products that offer natural solutions. We are not medical professionals, so do your own research. What we present is our findings on this topic.

Research at NYU

According to researchers at NYU, they are narrowing in on how herpes operates and therefore, learning more about effective treatments.

Concept In A Nutshell

Herpes is a virus which lurks unseen in the body, protected by a protein called ICP 47. Scientific research is uncovering its triggers, however, in order to eradicate it we must learn how it hides. The newest studies are aiming to crack this code and expose it so that it can be eradicated.

Infectious viruses compete with the immune system, where one tries to outsmart the other. If all goes well, the immune system wins and eliminates the virus.

However, some viruses have evolved a clever tactic known as viral latency - allowing them to enter a hibernation state, avoiding detection by the immune system.

Herpes simplex viruses are examples of this latency; they can remain hidden in a host for extended periods without causing any disease or symptoms. But when it chooses to reactivate, it can cause symptoms and spread to another host.

As microbiology professor Ian J. Mohr explains, “Viruses can lurk in a human forever without causing disease” yet still create problems when it emerges from hibernation.

The virus burrows into the nervous system, nesting deep inside the base of the brain, in an area of nerve cells called the trigeminal ganglion.

These nerve cells represent a stable place in which a latent virus can remain unperturbed for years. But how viruses emerge from this sanctuary has been poorly understood, in part because it’s difficult to study ganglion cells in isolation.

The ganglion is like a miniature organ. It contains many different types of cells, including immune cells.

Back To The Garden Example

Herpes acts like the insects that eat away at the garden. You can't see them, but they are there. They emerge when the conditions are right.

Most traditional treatments help make sure the conditions remain stable so you can minimize how often an outbreak happens. This is not bad. But it is incomplete.

It’s like trying to determine what ingredients a recipe requires by just looking at the finished dish. We need to pull apart each ingredient and measure out their portions in order to make sense of it all.

Studying ganglion cells allows us to better understand how viruses escape their sanctuary and spread into our bodies - ultimately arming us with knowledge we need to fight against them.

This is where the latest research picks up.

In the next section, we'll offer three alternatives to traditional herpes treatments. Each product is unique in it's approach. And each is based on new research.

A study published in Planta Medica demonstrated that Echinacea purpurea extracts possess multiple antiviral compounds that inhibit the replication of HSV-1 and HSV-2 in vitro.

The study found that these extracts could prevent viral adsorption and penetration into host cells, thereby reducing viral infectivity.

Another study conducted in the U.K. involved a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial where 50 participants with genital herpes were given Echinacea for six months and a placebo for another six months. The results showed no significant difference in the frequency of herpes outbreaks between the two periods, suggesting that while Echinacea may support the immune system, its direct impact on herpes outbreaks might be limited.

However, the study did not rule out the potential benefits of Echinacea in reducing the severity of symptoms or aiding in faster recovery during outbreaks. Further research has indicated that Echinacea's antiviral properties might be due to its ability to modulate the immune response.

A review published in Phytomedicine highlighted that Echinacea extracts could enhance the activity of macrophages and natural killer cells, which play crucial roles in the body's defense against viral infections.

Additionally, Echinacea has been shown to reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which can help alleviate the inflammation and pain associated with herpes sores.

Although the research results are mixed, echinacea remains a popular alternative treatment. If you’re looking for a holistic approach to support immune function in managing genital herpes, consider consulting a healthcare professional about introducing echinacea into your regimen.

Licorice Root

Licorice root has been traditionally used for its anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties, which may also make it effective in reducing the duration and severity of herpes outbreaks by interfering with the virus’s ability to penetrate healthy cells.

The benefits of licorice root lie in its compound, glycyrrhizin, which has been shown to inhibit the replication of herpes simplex virus. This herbal remedy isn’t only a natural alternative but also offers a safer option, given the potential side effects of conventional antiviral medications.

Research suggests that topical application of licorice root extract may help reduce the healing time and lesion size. It’s crucial to note that while licorice root shows promise, it shouldn’t replace medical treatment. Consult a healthcare professional before adopting it as a treatment strategy.

A study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation demonstrated that glycyrrhizin could significantly reduce the viral load in HSV-infected cells.

The researchers found that glycyrrhizin disrupted the viral envelope, thereby preventing the virus from attaching to and entering host cells. This mechanism of action suggests that licorice root could be particularly effective in the early stages of herpes infection, where viral entry is a critical step. In addition to its direct antiviral effects, licorice root also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties that can help alleviate the symptoms of herpes outbreaks.

Glycyrrhizin has been shown to modulate the immune response by reducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and enhancing the activity of natural killer cells. This dual action not only helps in controlling the viral infection but also in reducing the inflammation and pain associated with herpes sores.

Clinical studies have also explored the topical application of licorice root extracts for treating herpes lesions.

A study published in Phytotherapy Research found that a topical ointment containing licorice root extract significantly accelerated the healing of herpes sores compared to a placebo.

Top Recommendation For Herpes Supplement

After reviewing the research on natural herpes treatments and learning what ingredients work best to stop (or minimize) outbreaks, and remove the virus from your body, we found a product that meets all the requirements.

In test, it had a 98% success rate. This is better than most pharmaceutical products.

Our goal goal is to offer natural treatments and solutions, so this product made our #1 product recommendation.

Concept In A Nutshell

Herpes hides behind certain proteins. New research has discovered how to block the protein which keeps the virus from cloaking itself and hiding behind the protein wall. Blocking this protein forced the virus to remain in a latent stage, preventing its reactivation. In a sense, it activates the kill switch keeping herpes from activating.

Researchers at National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases got to work and discovered something called Transcription or Camouflage is what stops them from curing the virus completely. This means the virus is able to invade cells and take control of it which then allows it to hide from your body's natural defenses.

Thomas Christie, Chief of Molecular Genetics at NIAID found a drug, Tranylcypromine or TCP which can block a protein called LSD-1 – this protein triggers camouflage in HSV. Blocking this stops reactivation and keeps the virus latent.

This discovery provides hope for dealing with HSV on a deeper level. While more research needs to be done to understand how this works further.

A study carried out at the Indian Council of Medical Research reported that resveratrol was able to prevent the spreading of HSV-1 and HSV-2 by blocking activation of the inflammatory TCP protein.

It would now be finally possible to stop the virus replicating at all!

In short, they had found a "kill switch", a way to turn off the gene that the herpes virus needed to thrive and spread.

Clinical Studies

278 volunteers used these ingredients to treat their symptoms. The results were impressive.

Healing times of cold sores, blisters and sores were slashed by days if not weeks. Embarrassing and painful symptoms disappeared as if time had been sped up. But perhaps the most impressive result was, the virus was eliminated in blood tests and cell cultures in every single volunteer.

#1 Recommendation: Herpesyl

Herpesyl is a capsule made of 100% natural blended ingredients that targets the real cause of your outbreaks, and weakens and destroys the herpes virus.

Concept In A Nutshell

Herpes not only hides behind the protein ICP 47, it attaches to certain neurons in the brain (brain cells) to protect itself. The latest research addresses how to detach it from these brain cells so it can be targeted and eliminated.

>>> Click Here To Learn More About Herpesyl <<<

According to Dr. Adrian Kavanaugh (creator of Herpesyl), the real reason why you haven't been able to kill the herpes virus has nothing to do with your genes or immune system.

Research shows that it's connected to something that is happening inside your brain. When you uncover this process, you will be able to stop it and repair any damage caused to your body, so that you can get rid of the herpes virus for good.

In other words, the root cause that keeps herpes in your system isn't connected to your immune system, but a 'brain process' that keeps the virus alive.

If you deal with this process (according to their claims), you can eliminate the virus from your system.

You can read testimonies from those who used Herpesyl .

Here's how Dr. Kavanaugh puts it:

The way herpes works is to attack and hide, which is so clever it will send shivers down your spine if you think about it.

The moment it infects your body, your immune system instantly detects it as dangerous and starts fighting it.

It’s the same normal reaction that happens even when you get a cold.

Your body knows there’s a threat so it tries to purge it out of your system.

But herpes is extremely sneaky…

Once it gets into your bloodstream, it uses a protein called ICP 47 to shield itself and becomes invisible to your immune system.

It wraps itself in this protein like the proverbial wolf in sheep’s clothing, so your immune system has no clue it’s even there.

This virus can sleep disguised that way for months or even years, and then all of the sudden it attacks.

And as soon as herpes virus detects it’s under attack, it opens a backdoor channel to activate the ICP47 protein, cloaking itself from your immune system.

So...

Where exactly does it hide from detection? In your brain cells. It attaches to certain neurons in the brain because brain cells are the most active and protected cells in your body.

It's as if herpes knows this and chooses to hide in plain site. Right in your brain cells.

As their research revealed, to destroy herpes from your brain and prevent it from hijacking your neurons again, you have to safely introduce certain chemicals into your bloodstream.

Once your brain is herpes free, the virus won’t be able to tell the other cells to hide under the ICP47 protein and it will be exposed”

And then your body will have the power to fight and kill herpes.

The Clinical Proof

To test their theory (and product), the creators of Herpesyl took 50 volunteers with herpes (many had both HSV-1 and HSV-2) and treated them based on their research.

Within two months, 100% of all participants were herpes free.

This research is truly groundbreaking.
