Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 She needs to take L-Lysine. It is frequently used to stop an attack of herpes. Take 3000 MG a day (6 of the 500 mg tablets) for a treatment if you have an active outbreak and 500 every day as a preventative dose. It also helps to take vitiman C along with it (3000 MG a day). Lysine is and amino acid and can be found in walmart or health food stores for about 3 dollars a bottle. A bottle has 250 (500 mg) tablets and will last for about 5 weeks at this rate. This should be taken on a regular basis by those who have a pre-disposition for frequent genital herpes or just cold sores. She also needs to stay away from foods that contain L-arginine. L-arginine is also an amino acid found in foods and also taken as a suppliment but can trigger an outbreak in those who are know to have the pre-disposition for herpes. An example of foods that contain large amounts of arginine is nuts such as walnuts, peanuts and that kind of thing.
