730 Days! 2 years to the day that I've been completely outbreak free! Another incredible milestone I've been able to reach thanks to the help of BHT! I'd like to thank all my followers on my blog for all the incredible support, encouraging comments and general friendship you have given me over these two years! I shudder to think what I'd be doing if I was still having outbreak after outbreak, when I started this blog it was really starting to break me down and I don't think I would have been able to cope much longer!

Here's wishing everyone the same luck I've had!

Best regards

Just 18 days to being outbreak free for 2 years!

Hi guys, just a quick post! I can't believe it has been almost 2 years since my last outbreak! I'm sure you can imagine what affect this has had on my life, not having to constantly worry about when I'm going to suffer another outbreak! I haven't been tested again to see if I still have the virus, but I will do shortly.

Just 18 more days to go! Can't wait!

Still going strong!

Hi guys, I know I haven't been updating this blog as often as I should... just haven't had any interesting news to post lately. If I did have an outbreak, I promise I will definately let you guys know! It's been so long since I've had one, I can barely remember the sensation! 74 days till 2 years straight without an outbreak. What's also great, is I've been using this Bio Oil (tissue oil) on my lips, and the slight scarring caused by some hectic outbreaks have started fading away, and I thought it couldn't get any better :)

Many have emailed me telling me they've had better luck disolving their BHT in a oil before consumption. I'm still on 250g per day, but now heat some olive oil in shot glass in the microwave for a few seconds and then disolve the BHT in it. It doesn't taste too great but hey it works!

Warm Regards

501 Days!

Hi everyone!

I can't believe I missed my 500 days, being outbreak free! I really need to carry a dairy around with me! Well, at least it goes to show that I rarely think about my coldsores anymore :) Today I've been outbreak free for 501 days, those spacey feelings/dizzy spells have completely gone, and I'm now know it had nothing to do with taking BHT, as changes to my diet and supplements have helped immensely!

Almost 500 days being outbreak free!

It seems almost unbelievable! Just 25 more days, until I've been outbreak free for 500 days! Just in time for when my god daughter is due! I'm so glad that I don't have to be as paranoid around kids, in fear of passing cold sores on to them! Although I'd obviously still be very precautious, it is still nice to know I can worry about it a little less!

I still think a lot of people don't realize that they can actually pass on this virus whilst they are not experiencing an outbreak, it's usually referred to as shedding when the virus is passed on without infecting the surrounding skin of the host. This can even happen if the person carrying the virus is completely asymptomatic! For this reason I believe the amount of people actually infected with the virus is much higher than 80%, and is really much more of an epidemic than previously thought, especially with HSV being tied to Alzheimer's...

I've recently come across two promising treatments for HSV, and am currently researching them more. It is the use of Hammerhead Ribozymes and another treatment called DL5-29. Hopefully the trials for these two treatments get enough funding and coverage. Let me know if you've have any interesting information on these two treatments :)

Long overdue update!

Hi guys! Hope everyone is doing well! Doing much better, went to see the doc about these spacey, dizzy feelings, turns out my blood pressure is a bit low, and I need to change my diet a bit. Just increasing my salt intake has done wonders! Been back on BHT for the past week, and thankfully didn't have any outbreaks while I was off it! I did kinda cheat though, felt a bump on my upper lip (not sure if it was a cold sore) so applied some BHT dissolved in olive oil and applied it topically. The next morning, what ever it was, seemed to have disappeared :)

Thanks for all the responses, sorry that I have to moderate the comments. I'm getting tons spam and 3 day cold sore cures (sigh)... To everyone that's posting them, they just going to be deleted. We've all tried these so called "cures", this is site is intended to offer people REAL help!

Anyways, it's home time this part of the world. Looking forward to a good home cooked meal :) Will be updating my blog more often, Scouts honour!

Warm Regards
