How To Prevent Cold Sores - You Can Win The Cold Sore Battle
How to prevent cold sores is actually not difficult to manage at all. Thousands of good folks have already reduced - or totally eliminated - cold sore episodes in their life.
You can and should too.
Of all cold sore remedies out there, this internal method will do the most for actually preventing cold sores for you.
It is as simple and easy as taking a good vitamin and mineral supplement, perhaps an additional calcium supplement and one or two lysine capsules.
The herpes simplex virus - and its process of new virus creation - is the base cause of all cold sores and fever blisters.
Nine out of ten people carries this virus - it is very contagious and a real survivor. For the most part it remains dormant, hiding in the nerve root cells.
It only becomes active if the conditions are right for replicating new virus particles. Here are the three primary triggers that create the conditions that awaken the virus.
1. Reduced immunity due to stress, lack of necessary nutrients or poor health.
2. Overabundance of amino acid arginine - the protein needed to build herpes virus.
3. Your body has become acidic due to diet, cold weather or stress.
The strength of your immune system - and its ability to fend off the cold sore virus - is primarily dependent on the level and quality of vitamin and mineral intake through both diet and supplementation.
Unfortunately, commercially grown produce does not supply enough vitamins and minerals to do the job anymore.
Scientists, through repeated lab studies, have proven that vegetables today contain only about half the nutrients they did just 50 years ago. And it is getting worse as soils become more and more depleted.
A good quality multi-vitamin is a very good idea today. Let's take a look at how they work to prevent cold sores.
You want high dosages of vitamins A, entire B family, C, D and E. You also want high amounts of calcium (and magnesium for calcium absorption) and therapeutic levels of zinc.
Vitamins A, D and E are important for radiant and healthy skin. The herpes virus attacks these cells so the stronger the better.
The B and C vitamins are water based and need to be replenished often - at least daily. They help protect you from the negative effects of stress. Stress is the number one trigger for cold sore activity.
Zinc is the healing mineral. It not only repels viral and bacterial invasion, but helps prevent the damage they cause. The herpes virus does not like zinc.
Most high quality vitamin supplements contain a daily dosage of between 15 and 30 milligrams of zinc. That is all you need.
Calcium is huge in preventing cold sores.
It is an essential mineral for keeping your body alkaline. It is so important for your health that your system will steal calcium from your bones if needed - to keep your pH balance out of the acid zone.
Carbonated drinks, white flour, sugar, cold weather and lack of exercise will cause your body to become acidic and lowers your cellular oxygen. This is an ideal condition for herpes activity.
Please do not waste your money on vitamins that claim you get all you need in one or two pills a day. They do not contain enough of anything to even help a guinea pig. I kid you not!
Be sure to buy high quality vitamins from a vitamin store, whether local or on line, not a discount store. If you don't, you cannot get the results you want, believe me.
Finally, add some lysine supplements to your daily regimen. Lysine helps prevent cold sores by keeping arginine away from the herpes virus so it cannot create new virus and resulting cold sores.
These internal cold sore remedies - the vitamin supplements and lysine capsules - are truly the easiest and most effective ways to prevent cold sores.
There are some advanced treatments you will eventually want to try, but discovering how to prevent cold sores can be as simple and easy as what you have just read. Stay with the vitamin program, no matter what other cold sore remedies you try.
