This book discusses the major Natural and Alternative treatments for the
Herpes Family viruses that have been documented in the Scientific and
Medical Literature. It discusses several nutritional supplements and
inexpensive over-the-counter medications that boost the immune system.
It also discusses several foods, supplements and herbs that have
anti-viral properties. The emphasis is on correlating potential natural
and alternative therapies with relevant published research. Some have
substantial supporting research and others very little. Get the
documented facts, not unfounded claims.
This book is what all of the other herpes self-help books are not. It
is also not what the other books are. The writing style is a bit
technical but the content is understandable by non-medical people like
me. It covers a discussion of many of the "alternative" treatment
modalities strictly from the standpoint of how well they are or are not
documented in scientific and medical literature.
The author makes no
claims about miraculous cures and generates no sales pitches, but he has
gone to considerable effort to dig up some promising alternative
treatments that are also effective for other conditions too. Some of
the supplements and herbs have a lot of documentation supporting them
and some have very little. Just the facts clearly laid out.
Mr. Hill is careful to include both the encouraging results and the
counter indications. For example, if a substance was effective against
herpes in laboratory simulations but was not tested on humans, he will
say it. The idea is to let the reader have everything necessary to make
an informed decision. He reviews about 18 different options. Some
effective substances are present in foods like cabbage juice, garlic,
coconut oil or green tea. He reviews the literature on the effect of
certain vitamins and minerals on immune support and therefore Genital herpes
suppression.Read more
