Triggers of Recurring Outbreaks

Most people I know who are living with herpes have reported their recurring outbreaks being most often triggered by emotional stress. Stress tends to activate the autonomic nervous system, and in turn increase your body’s production of adrenalin or other neurotransmitters that may very well play a key role in recurring outbreaks. It should also be considered that stress can and does affect the bodies natural immune system. Many people living with herpes have reported outbreaks occurring most often when their immune system is challenged by cold, flu’s or other common sicknesses. Thus the common belief that a cold sore is caused by a cold. It’s not!
Based on stories of those living with herpes and their personal experience and feedback, it is most certain that reducing the stress in your everyday life can play a key role in reducing the number of outbreaks and have positive affect on the individual with genital herpes.
When I asked people living with herpes what triggered their outbreaks, some reported the benefits from diets with increased lysine and decreased arginine levels. Although research does not support this belief, for patients suffering with herpes lysine supplements have shown some positive result. These supplements are available at any health food store or pharmacy in the vitamin section.
Some people have reported increased outbreaks due to excessive consumption of alcohol or caffeine. Avoiding either or both should be considered in a patient with frequent recurrences.
Other people living with herpes have found a connection between recurring outbreaks and chocolate, nuts and rice, among other food items. However, these are the most commonly reported.
It’s recommended that you keep a journal of your food intake to help rule out food related possibilities that may or may not be linked to recurring outbreaks.
Herpes is Not a Death Sentence

Everyday the number of people around the world that find that they have herpes is staggering. Over 50% of the white population, over 70% of the African American population and over 60% of the Japanese population have herpes. What most people don’t know is that it is not a death sentence. OF course people know that they won’t die from herpes but you would think that they were going to die the way that they act.
Most average citizens know that there is a genital herpes and many understand that there is also a herpes that affects the lip and eyes of either one or both sides of the face. That’s right cold sore or fever blisters are actually herpes. So how do people get these? The answer to that question varies. Sometimes it is picked up through sexual contact from genital to genital or it can be oral to genital and it can also be mouth to mouth. By the time that children are 4 years old they are exposed to the herpes virus in some shape or form through day care, school groups and other kids activities.
So what should you really be thinking if you just found out that you have herpes? The answer is that many times the mental anguish of herpes far outweighs the physical aspect of it. Genital herpes is a cold sore on the genitals that usually lasts about 7 days and often reoccurs every six months and can be attributed to a weakened state of the immune system that is often found with stress. Many people often claim that too much sugar, stress or lack of sleep can bring on an outbreak.
If you just had your first outbreak then there could be many different roads that you will travel. For many they have one outbreak – the initial one and then they never have another herpes outbreak. For some it can be more persistent and troublesome. There are products that can really help with outbreaks. However in our opinion the natural based or herbal based treatments are more effective at minimizing and effectively treating the outbreaks. Does this mean that they cure herpes? Cure is strong word but for many that use natural based herpes treatments they never have an outbreak again. Whether that is controlling the outbreaks or killing the viruses we don’t know but for many they never have another outbreak and that is vital.
Point being that there are many things that a person that now has herpes can do to prevent further outbreaks and as time goes on they do not feel the mental aspects of finding out that they have herpes as well.

Why I Use Dynamiclear
When I was first diagnosed with herpes, life was easy, I had insurance and the little blue pill was all I needed. Once I was downsized and left without benefits, the use of Valtrex at $280 a month was just not an option. That’s when I was introduced to Dynamiclear.
While the cost may seem a little high at first sight, I can tell you from experience, one little bottle goes a LONG way. In fact, I spend less on my Dynamiclear then I do on my $4 Acyclovir at Wal-Mart via their discounted drug program.
What you can expect when using Dynamiclear is intense stinging – I won’t lie – but it only lasts for a couple of seconds. What follows is pure relief.
There are other products on the market that I find to be just as beneficial as Dynamiclear, but this product doesn’t leave you walking around feeling as though everyone can smell the herbal aroma that’s emerging from your groin.
The makers of Dynamiclear totally back their product, so you have nothing to lose! Buy your bottle now – don’t wait until you wish you had.
