Herpes Knowledge
The word herpes evokes an emotional response from almost everyone. Eighty percent of the world's population has serological evidence of the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1, generally orolabial herpes), while 20 to 30 percent of the U.S. population is seropositive for the herpes virus type 2 (HSV-2, generally genital herpes).
Add chickenpox, shingles, the immunosuppressant drugs used by cancer and organ-transplant patients, along with the increasing number of immunosuppressed patients who have HIV and AIDS, and it's not hard to understand why we are now seeing a greater incidence of herpes infections.
Oral herpes affects areas of the mouth and face. Herpes type 1 (HSV1) is the most common cause of oral herpes. However herpes type 2 (HSV2) can also cause oral herpes infections. In other words, either HSV1 or HSV2 may be responsible for oral herpes. Recurring symptoms or outbreaks may develop as soon as 5 to 10 days after the initial infection.
Symptoms include painful blisters around the mouth, often accompanied by a cold or fever, hence the term “cold” sores or “fever” blisters. Immunity plays a key role in outbreaks. When the system is stressed or the immune system is weakened, the virus travels down the ganglia and resurfaces on the skin, causing an outbreak.
Depending on what study you wish to believe, well over 90% of the US population will test positive for having either HSV1 or HSV2. For reasons unknown, HSV2 seems to gravitate towards the genital tract and is therefore the most common cause of genital herpes. However, HSV1 can also manifest in the genital region and cause genital herpes.
When the virus erupts on the surface of the skin, causing an outbreak, typical symptoms are inflamed blisters or ulcers. As the infection is caused by the either HSV1 or HSV2, lesions resemble cold sores. The first outbreak commonly reveals its aggravating presence 4 to 7 days after the initial infection of HSV.
In females, outbreaks occur on or near the vulva, labia, clitoris, pubis, or anus. In males, herpes lesions can appear anywhere on the penis, scrotum, or around the anus. Outbreaks are commonly accompanied by pain, itching, or burning. Some experience enlarged lymph nodes, muscle pain, and fatigue.
Some experience prodrome before an outbreak. This is a tingling, itching, or painful sensation experienced prior to an outbreak. Prodrome symptoms may be experienced for several days or for a few hours. Use of an antiviral treatment (oral or topical) during prodrome is known to reduce the duration of an outbreak, and it may even abort the outbreak for some individuals.
Unfortunately, there is no known “cure” for herpes. Use of a condom is recognized to be the most reliable method to prevent transmission of the virus. However, effective treatments are available which can reduce the frequency and severity of outbreaks, stop viral reproduction, and reduce viral load, all of which greatly mitigate outbreaks and allow sufferers to control the condition.
Acyclovir is the most popular drug prescribed for herpes. However, the emergence of aciclovir-resistant virus strains has created the need for the development of new effective antiviral agents. New anti-herpetic chemical drug compounds have been identified, but they have significant adverse effects when consumed and HSV has again developed drug resistance to these new compounds.
As new chemical drug options are not viable, alternative antiviral options are being investigated with great interest. Recent scientific studies of medicinal antiviral plant extracts show very encouraging results, and have sparked a new methodology for treating herpes.
Studies of these antiviral extracts demonstrate that many of these compounds exhibit significant anti-herpetic activity. Several actually inactivate HSV with great effectiveness. These antiviral extracts represent new effective treatment options for therapeutic use as virucidal agents for recurring herpes infections.
HSVCurative is a potent all natural antiviral cure for herpes, highly effective against HSV1 and HSV2; it has a wide spectrum of antiviral activity against these viruses. The antiviral extracts in this treatment have the ability to inactivate and destroy HSV, which has been established in published clinical trials. It is to be applied directly to an outbreak.
HSVCurative is used specifically to treat HSV1 and HSV2 infections and acts as a curative agent against both these strains of herpes. It exhibits a pronounced anti-herpetic activity against HSV1 and HSV2 and actually kills these viruses upon exposure regardless of location on the body.
HSVCurative contains certified organic medicinal plant extracts and antiviral essential oils which cause cellular death to HSV1 and HSV2 in scientific studies. The importance of applying certified organic material to outbreaks or open sores cannot be overstated. To learn more, please go http://www.bcured.net.

The Existence Of Herpes
Herpes is an ancient viral infection that can be transmitted during sex, recurs fitfully and cannot be cured. The existence of the herpes virus and its accompanying sores and blisters has been known for at least 2,000 years. It is said to have caused so terrible an epidemic of lip sores in ancient Rome that the Emperor Tiberius banned kissing.
In 18th century France, genital herpes was so common among prostitutes that it was termed "a vocational disease of women". Yet it was not until the 1940s that herpes was found to be a virus, and not until the late 1960s that researchers isolated two types of herpes. So little known was the virus that doctors confidently misdiagnosed it right up through the late 1970s.
Also known as the scourge, herpes has emerged from relative obscurity and exploded into a full-fledged epidemic. Spurred on by two decades of sexual permissiveness, the disease has cut swiftly through the ranks of the sexually active. The truth about life in the United States in the 1980s is that if you are going to have sex, you are going to have to take the risk of getting herpes.
Those remarkable numbers are altering sexual rites in America, changing courtship patterns, sending thousands of sufferers spinning into months of depression and self-exile and delivering a numbing blow to the one-night stand. The herpes counterrevolution may be ushering a reluctant, grudging chastity back into fashion.
Although there are eight different strains, HSV-1 and HSV-2 are responsible for the majority of herpes infections. Type 1 (HSV-1) is most familiar as the cause of cold sores on the lips. The more serious Type 2 (HSV-2) typically causes genital lesions. The cure for herpes symptoms is dependent on which strain of the virus is contracted.
Yet the sores of the two strains cannot easily be distinguished from each other, nor do they stick to their own turfs. The astounding and belated news is that ordinary cold sores can be transferred to the genitals by finger or mouth and become a venereal disease. Indeed, oral sex may be a potent force in spreading both strains.
Sexual freedom is obviously implicated in the incidence of herpes. With herpes, every new case is added to the pool. The increase is exponential after a while. Not only are more people indulging in sex, they are also more active -- starting younger, marrying later, divorcing more often. The wider acceptance of oral sex has also played a role.
Once herpes has penetrated the skin, it multiplies rapidly. The first symptoms may be a tingling or itching sensation. Blisters may appear within 2 to 15 days after infection. In genital herpes, the first episode lasts on the average three weeks, as opposed to around five days for subsequent attacks, and blisters may be accompanied by fevers and pounding headaches.
Science has wrought the herpes epidemic: penicillin allowed greater sexual contact with little risk, and the pill and other contraceptives largely replaced condoms, which prevent direct contact with sores. Medicinal plants deliver profound results to cure a vast array of ailments; recent scientific studies demonstrate this very fact.
HSVCurative is a potent all natural antiviral cure for herpes, highly effective against HSV1 and HSV2; it has a wide spectrum of antiviral activity against these viruses, even for genital herpes. The cure in this treatment has the ability to inactivate and destroy HSV, which has been established in published clinical trials. It is to be applied directly to an outbreak.
Except HSVCurative, HSVRegulator is a gentler antiviral herpes cure used as suppressive therapy to help control herpes. It contains certified organic antiviral extracts with the demonstrated ability to inactivate the herpes virus. HSVRegulator thereby helps to prevent recurrence. Daily application provides support and protection to the system.
HSVRegulator helps reduce the frequency of symptoms and severity of outbreaks. In addition, its antiviral nature is believed to help reduce subclinical viral shedding, possibly reducing the risk of transmission over other herpes cures. It is also recommended that HSVRegulator be applied to the soles of the feet.
HSVCurative and HSVRegulator cures for herpes were developed by CURED in collaboration with leaders in the field of medicinal plants. These products are the result of several years of trials, testing, and sourcing of organic antiviral medicinal plants for the best herpes cure. To learn more, please go to http://www.bcured.net.
