Hi all! As the description says, is there a cure to the curse of HSV1 that affects so many children and adults worldwide? Does anyone have any solutions that worked for them? Is there a hidden cure that doctors and nurses are NOT telling you about? They probably make billions off of the “herpes suppression medication” and I was one of the poor unfortunate souls who was exposed when I was a kid or teen and cold sores have ruined my life. Like literally. I don’t even want to go anywhere if I have one pop up. Because people are like.. um.. there’s something on your face.. 🙄🙄🙄 and I get them a lot to the point it’s driving me nuts. It’s frustrating, mentally draining, aggravating, and the reoccurrence is absolutely infuriating. I have Valtrex, I have spent hundreds of dollars on Abreva, I take Multi-Vitamins, not only are they unsightly, they hurt like fucking hell. Just recently picked up Lysine. Is Big Pharma suppressing a HSV1 cure? What fucking gain do they earn from making people like me and millions of others suffer from multiple painful outbreaks, embarrassment and shame? I know it could be so much more worse and I could be suffering “down there” cold sores but I only get them beside my lips. But they make my life a living hell. I already deal with so much from depression, anxiety, insecurities, and my mental health. The rapid outbreaks do not help my case at all. The cold sores have left me with scars on my lips which make me very self conscious. They aren’t that bad! But I have struggled with acne, self image, and scars are an absolute no-go for me when it comes to insecurities and self image. Is Big Pharma suppressing the cure? They are starting trials in 2023 but I have a feeling they will just off the guy once he finally does discover the cure. Like they always do.

I take Valtrex, just recently picked up Lysine but I hate swallowing big pills. Can you crush Lysine, Valtrex or anything like that? I have been hesitant to take them because I struggle swallowing big pills but I just recently started taking them along with my Valtrex. And, I even choke taking my Valtrex sometimes. But I get them so bad like 3-4 times every few months and if I am lucky, yearly. I am willing to choke down those pills daily to get some comfort and peace of mind. Does L-Lysine come in a cream?
I've used Lip Clear Lysine + Cold Sore Treatment. It's a cream in a small tube by Quantum Heath. Active ingredient Zinc Oxide 1.2%. Lysine is listed as an "inactive" ingredient.
The only L-lysine I have seen is the pills, and most of them are 1000mg. You might try to find some 500mg and take a couple of them instead of the monsters. They can be a PIA to swallow, and I have never found any that were coated to make it easier.
As far as I know it doesn't come in a cream form.
Use a mortar and pestle
I will just for now on take my big girl pills with lots and lots of water. L-Lysine might be the cure I’ve been looking for to suppress these ugly nasty things. I have Valtrex, L-Lysine and cold sore medicines on hand. Currently nursing my 2nd one ever since I had one like 4 weeks ago. Ugh. And I have a birthday dinner to go to tonight. :’( I pray for anyone who has to deal with these too. I share your pain.
