Cold Sores - Why Do We Suffer from Cold Sores?
A cold sore is also called a fever blister; its technical name is herpes simplex virus. Seventy percent of the population in Australia is affected by the herpes simplex virus. It is a contagious virus and it spreads from one person to another very quickly.
This
virus spreads through saliva, physical contact,
utensils, clothes and cotton used at the affected area, peeled dead skin, etc.
Temporary treatment is available for this virus but there is no permanent cure yet. Research for permanent cure is
being conducted in the United States of America.
An
ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and this famous saying applies
here also. People affected with this virus
can get temporary relief by using various tablets and ointments.
It
is important to keep this virus dormant by following strict diet regime and
exercise. This virus affects the same place continuously within short intervals
of time if it is not kept dormant.
We
humans contract this disease from person to person. We suffer from cold sores
because of our inability to stay healthy. Cold sores are anaerobic, meaning
they do not require oxygen to survive.
If
our body has normal levels of oxygen, then this virus would have fallen dormant
because of its weakness in getting activated. These viruses need to get
triggered so that they can actively affect the sensitive parts of the human
body such as nostrils, face, eye lids, etc.
Deficient
levels of oxygen provide a breeding ground for herpes simplex virus. Other
viruses also get triggered and become active if the oxygen content in your body
is below normal.
Another
important reason why these viruses thrive in your body is acidity. These
viruses thrive in acidic climate rather than alkaline climate. Your body is
alkaline when you can maintain your body pH levels at 7.0. The human body
remains stable at a pH level of 7.0.
Anything
below 7.0 will trigger the herpes simplex virus and you will be having visible
blisters. The human body is prone to diseases when the alkaline content in your
body falls to below 7.0, it loses the ability to fight harmful viruses and
disease-causing bacteria. Bacteria and disease fighting cells of our human body
cannot survive at pH levels below 7.0.
So,
after reading how painful cold sores can be, an ounce of prevention is
definitely the way to go.

Cold Sores - Strengthen and Boost Your Immune System against Cold Sores
A person infected with the herpes virus can transmit this disease by kissing or by sharing the same cup of coffee. Generally, adults transmit this virus to their siblings and spouses. Even saliva from an infected person can transmit this virus to others.
There
are various treatments available which can eradicate the virus temporarily.
There are some over the counter creams which may prove to be helpful in
treating the virus. Generally, tablets are prescribed according to the age and
severity of the disease.
Patients
suffering from cold sores needs to keep their cool which will put a lot less
stress on their immune system. This anxiety caused by the attack and the
effects of it actually stresses on the immune system. Stress is very harmful
because it interferes with the basic building blocks of life. Stress produces
harmful toxins which get released into the system.
Some
of the nutrients which can help you battle against this virus are vitamin C,
vitamin E and Zinc oxide. More than 1200 milligrams of vitamin C can result in
experiencing diarrhoea and it is generally advisable to consult your physician.
Oil
present inside the vitamin E capsule can provide relief from the cold sore.
High doses of vitamin C at the onset of this virus can give you much needed
relief and it may stop the virus from attack.
Vitamin
C with bioflavonoid can be an effective combatant against the virus. These
nutrients and vitamins strengthen the immune system. Care should be taken not
to take more than the recommended dose of any medication even if it is a
vitamin. Consult your doctor for advice.
Two
things need to be done in regard to your immune system; one is strengthening
the immune system so that it effectively combats the virus and destroys the
cells causing the virus. Secondly you need to stop the virus from replicating.
If we can destroy and stop the virus from replicating, then we can put the
virus into a dormant state.
Exercise
and eating habits need to be changed to effectively combat the virus. Nascent
oxygen is very much required to combat the diseases and viruses present in your
body.
There
are various links and informational websites regarding combating cold sores.
Some of the various international forums and foundations are International
herpes management Forum, International herpes alliance, New Zealand herpes
foundation.
There
are also books which provide information regarding the symptoms, medications,
general knowledge about the herpes, virus, medications, precautions, structure
of the virus, etc.
