Good info, thanks!
L-Lysine works amazingly for my coldsores. I only take one 500 mg capsule every or everyother day, and get no outbreaks. 5-7 grams seems insane to me.
5 – 7 grams?
A bit much. I take a preventive regiment of 1,000mg per day during the time I’m likely to get a coldsore (late winter/early spring).
When my coldsore came, it was about the size of a pin head. I upped my regiment to 1,500mg and the sore was gone in 3 days.
you shouldnt take pills cause then ur body depends on the medicene to get rid of it but then the mor eu take it causes a imune to the medicene then what will you do?
L-Lysine is a dietary supplement and an essential amino acid. This means our body cannot make it on its own. Since it’s something that our body needs naturally (it’s found in legumes for example), we cannot become dependant on it because our bodies already are to a small degree.
is milk bad for a cold sore?
*sniff*i hate colds agh choo!*chough*
dam I just eat chocolate :[
milk yogurt and cheese has most Lysine
i cant fucking hear shit
I have one small one and it made my whole lip swell up. Ir figures, it doubled in size on my 2nd day of school so i didnt go! Damn this sucks. I’m doing anything i can to get rid of it by monday.
I know me too
but i got it on my skin ):
above my lip..
One word: Valtrex. Yeah, yeah, I know it’s supposed to be for herpes type II, but it works on cold sores AMAZINGLY well. Gone before they even start. The only pain is that it’s perscription- I got it because my mouth scarred when i used to get those nasty things bad.
I’m not sure, but I think taking the 5-7 gram dosage, like this video says, is meant to be taken only when you have an outbreak.
L-lysine, where is that available? do I have to get it from pharamacy? It is nice to know that I need to be preventing chocolate while I have cold score as I am so addicted to chocolate
this works miracles for cats with herpes, which usually ends up as an upper respitory infection..so many health providers for animals and humans alike are out to push their drugs and not help u the best way possible..
i have a prescription to acyclovir it works wonders… 2 a day while its active 1 a day until it goes away… it gets rid of em in about 3 days
Lysine is good against cold sores. I wrote an article of how to prevent cold sore outbreaks. Check it out, the link is on my profile. You dont have to ever get a cold sore again, you need to know how to prevent.
