Herpes - Lethal Disease
by Tony Robbins
Herpes is an ailment which is caused by a virus and the outcome of this disease is the inflammation of the skin or the mucous membrane. Blisters or ulcers are formed on the skin. Virus causes either the oral herpes which includes cold sores and fever blisters or genital herpes that is genital sores or the sores which develop below the sores. The two types of virus which cause this ailment are Herpes Simplex Type 1 that is HSV-1 an
d Herpes Simplex Type 2 that is HSV-2. Both these viruses can be studied easily under the microscope. They infect either the mouth or the genitals. If the blisters develop above the waist then HSV-1 is responsible but if blisters develop below the waist then HSV-2 is responsible. When an individual is affected by this ailment then the immune system of the body weakens. Because of it the chances of an individual being susceptible to other ailments rises gradually. Symptoms
The symptoms of this ailment become visible within 2-20 days after an individual come in contact with the virus. The extent of the symptoms may vary as it depends on the immune system of an individual. Development of the sores and lesions is very common. Once the virus gets into the skin it starts multiplying. The development of the bump and the reddening of the skin is the first symptom. Swollen glands, fever, muscle ache and headache are few common symptoms. A burning sensation may be felt by the person as the virus even affects the urethra.
Treatment
There are special vaccines that may prevent herpes, but they are effective if done in the age of 3-5 years. Besides, vaccination is effective in the case of being affected by herpes for the first time. If a person had herpes before, vaccination becomes senseless. There are no medications that may cure this disease once and for all; there are certain drugs that reduce the duration and frequency of the outbreaks of this disease. It is important to maintain the affected part of the skin clean, as it helps our immune system to overcome the virus and activate natural healing process. A patient should try and keep the infected part clean as it improves with the natural healing process. Regular warm shower helps natural curing as well.
Maintaining a good physical form and proper balanced nutrition also helps to get rid of herpes by means of strengthening of the immune system. Antiviral and immunotherapy are also necessary to treat herpes effectively. The main goal of the antiviral therapy is the usage of the drugs that can distinguish between normal healthy cells and cells affected with the virus. The drug should destroy affected cells without any damage to the organism. Antiviral agents are lethal for the viruses staying non-toxic for the body in the whole. Newly developed concept in healing herpes is immunotherapy; it deals with improving the immune system of the body thus helping us to defeat the virus. Some chemical elements can stimulate the white blood cells, thus improving the immune system. One of such substances is Amino Acid Lysine; it is proven to help in treating of the herpes.
