Guest guest Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Lysine for Quick Cold Sore Relief by Chet Day I've suffered from cold sores and mouth ulcers since I was neck high to a fire plug, so my life took a turn for the better when at age 51 I found a health aid that actually helped my body deactivate within a day or two the herpes simplex virus that allegedly causes cold sore outbreaks. And, no, this health aid I learned about is not some expensive doctor-prescribed pharmaceutical that costs a kneecap and a sternum bone to purchase. Instead it's an amino acid called lysine, and you can purchase it at any drug store, health food store, or probably even grocery store these days. Lysine comes in 500 mg and 1000 mg tablets and capsules. The capsules cost more but are a LOT easier o swallow. I buy the tablets because I'm cheap, but I can't swallow them whole because they're about as big around as a Cadillac steering wheel. So I chew them first and then swish 'em down with a couple glasses of water. Yes, they taste bad, but, hey, that's the price we cheap guys pay for saving a couple bucks. Whenever I feel a cold sore coming on, I take at least 1500 mg of lysine twice a day. My maintenance dose is 1000 mg a day. When I remember to take this dose, I don't get cold sores.
