You can be immune to cold sores by taking a good vitamin and mineral supplement every day. Here is what you should be doing right now to build immunity to cold sore outbreaks. Thousands are doing this every day and you can too.
With any virus invasion, your body creates anti-bodies to defend against them. Your need a wide array of nutrients to create strong anti-bodies. These natural chemicals are what we call vitamins and minerals. (There are also many known and unknown phyto-nutrients that come into play.)
Besides the cold sore virus, your body contains many other viruses - maybe even the poliovirus. Usually, however, your body defenses keep these viruses from ever becoming active. In effect, your body has created IMMUNITY to many of these viruses.
There are eight strains of the herpes simplex virus that we know of. The two strains responsible for cold sores are herpes simplex type 1 and type 2. The other five strains have been identified as causing diseases such as chickenpox, mono, and shingles.
Yes - chickenpox is closely related to cold sores. It is a terrible disease to suffer as an adult. Although many of us are carrying the virus, we do not get it because we have developed immunity to it.
The cold sore virus is extremely small. Fact is, several of them can occupy a single nerve cell. They can not survive and replicate without a host - and they prefer humans. The herpes virus enters a nerve cell and forces that cell to create clones of it. When full, it then destroys the cell to release the new virus.
As you probably are aware, viruses are very survival oriented. Every time we invent a new drug, the germ that we are targeting soon becomes immune to it. Acyclovir, and other spin-offs of this drug, were initially successful against herpes -but now are becoming almost useless. The key to successfully curing a viral disease is to aid your body in building a strong immunity to it.
Your body was created to take care of itself. When you encounter a virus invader, like the cold sore virus, your body will develop an anti-body army to deal with that particular strain. Each time you get a cold sore, you create fresh anti-bodies to add to your reserves. Your body will come up with new versions of anti-bodies just as quickly as the virus mutates. The better anti-bodies you build (by providing the proper nutrients), the stronger your immunity diseases such as cold sores.
Vaccines are particularly effective because they work WITH your body to create its own best medicine - by helping the body build super anti-bodies. There is no vaccine for cold sores yet. You honestly do not need one. Because cold sores are not life threatening, your body can create these super anti-bodies if you provide the proper vitamins and minerals.
Why not get all the vitamins from food? Years ago we could. Our food was rich and contained all the nutrients we needed. Today, because of commercial farming, our land is becoming desperately depleted of these nutrients. The plants still look the same - they just do not carry the nutrition they once did.
Scientists recently stated that it would take 60 servings of spinach today to equal one serving in 1949. Our bodies are starving. Researchers now feel that this may be a major reason why chronic diseases are epidemic today. We simply have weak immune systems. I believe this is why there are more people getting cold sores today - and with increasing frequency.
As I hope you now see, the strength of your immunity is based on the power of your anti-bodies. To build more powerful anti-bodies, you must have the nutrients on hand in proper quantity. To do so, you should consider a daily vitamin and supplement program. In this way you can increase your immunity to many viruses - and prevent cold sores.
