Herpes could be from too much arginine in the body and not enough lysine to balance it out. Cut back on sources of arginine like chocolate, nuts, seeds, and beans can cut down on recurrences. Another way of doing the same job is to supplement extra lysine.

Nutrients, like selenium, low-dose lithium, vitamin C, and flavonoids, can also stop the virus. I suggest all of these together with lysine in formulas called HPX and HPX2 by BioTech Pharmacal. The ointment containing glycyrrhetinic acid from licorice helps relieve pain from herpes sores and makes them go away more rapidly.
