I have a question. Do most of the people who have this condition have to take the Valtrex all of the time? Like every day forever? Personally I'm going to go the natural route. I regret going to the doctor. The diagnosis is going to get in the way of so many things and I could have simply dealt with it myself at home. I NEVER go the the doctor so why did i?!
:'(
It was the best thing to go to the doctor, to keep it on tract and make sure you're ok!

I don't take the drugs I use the natural supplements instead and so far I've been good.. I don't like taking any meds to begin with so when I had my first outbreak they didn't help I got relief until I used the essential oils for the sores and I'm taking the supplements to prevent them now.

What oils and supplements do you take?
I use tea tree oil (Melaluca ) for breakouts you can mix it with lavander, peppermint oil and clove oil too. But it works great alone! The supplements I take are olive leaf extract, elderberry, lysine, vitamin C, zinc and also drink kombucha tea. Try to stay away from sugar, caffeine and any junk food.. I know it's hard but having a healthy diet helps to not have breakouts.

How often do you take the supplements, once twice daily?
3 times a day after every meal so far my immune system has been strong and I'm outbreak free. At least I know I'm not giving my liver drugs it doesnt need. All natural supplements don't harm your body.
3 times a day after every meal
yes...it has saved me
Does natural/home remedies work for suppressive therapy and reduction in transmission?
It seems to be suppressing the virus so far but I don't know about transmission. I'm very careful with my children I assume I'm contagious all the time.
I've been taking it for abt 6 months now & i chose to start taking it bc I had a lot of outbreaks. Since taking it I haven't had any, so it's saved me. But some people dnt have any symptoms or anything. It's based on your body & what you think is best.
