To speed up healing time of an outbreak, I used 'new skin' it's liquid band-aid. Dont ask me what made me think of it, but the first of my outbreak, i applied it that night and my sore healed that next mourning. my outbreaks usally last about 7-10 days. New skin is an antiseptic, it cleans and it kepts the sore dry to speed up healing. it does burns a little, but it definitely worked for me. i only tried it once about 3 months ago and i reapplied if any burning or itching occur before an outbreak and i haven't seem any outbreaks yet. please comment i would love to know if it really works.

Apply ice to reduce pain and swelling. Place crushed ice cubes in a plastic bag (a bag of frozen peas or frozen unpoppped popcorn also works), and wrap it in a cloth that is the thickness of a sheet. Place it directly on the area. Keep it in place for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. Reapply several times throughout the day.

BHT in capsule form will cut your frequency of outbreaks quite a bit, 500mg/day
BHT/olive oil topicaly will stop an outbreak quickly and will prevnet one if you start applying it at the first tingle or even thought that something may be going on. Fill a small bottle, 4oz or so 2/3 full of BHT chrystals and fill almost to the top with olive oil, leave enough room to shake it to mix. Put the bottle in a sunny window or put it in a pan of hot tap water and shake occasionally(don't microwave or heat in a pan)When there is about 1/3 crystals you will have a saturated solution, use it then.
DMSO by itself has shown itself to inactivate herpes, mixed with antivirals it may be even better. I haven't mixed it with BHT but if you do only use a pin head of if directly on the sore, (don't apply liberaly, you may make a biiiiiig scab, BHT and DMSO both dissolve fat, lipids, a very important part of your cell structure and sometimes 99% DMSO causes a rash or crusting of the surface skin so use a 70% solition or make one with distilled water from 99%.
MSM, methylsulfonymethane has shown to be an anti herpes supliment and is avaliable easily from Walmart or nearly anywhere. It is used for joint maintenence for arthritis and injured joints but is used in topical preparation for shingles(herpes)and is also in fever blister meds(herpes)and probably is effective against all herpes if taken internally, it is safe and well tested, the other remedies above work but are not as heavily documented as the safety of MSM.
I'll check here and see if there are any comments, please post anything you know that does work, and GET PROACTIVE!
If you see someone with a fever blister take them aside and tell them how you got rid of yours. If they say 'I'm using tea tree oil.' Say 'Well, now that you know that that doesn't work, try these things.'
There is life after herpes, learn how to control it and not spread it to others. Talk about it openly, 1 of 4 of us has it, you may find that the love of your life has it and hasn't a clue how to get rid of it. Wouldn't you like to be the one to give them back their sex life?

When I learned that I had the Herpes virus II, I began researching natural remedies.( Note: I did not have outbreaks often enough to realize that I had this virus until 20 years later). Red Marine Algae (500 mg) has proven to me to make a difference. 3 to 4 a day keeps the outbreaks away or a least minimizes them. There was an incident when I had eaten a tremendous amount of peanuts (favorite snack) after I had began using Red Marine Algae. A day or two later, I had a very quiet and subdued outbreak. I had no warning symptoms that it was coming on. (tingling, itching, pain, muscle aches, etc.) As soon as the small sore came it was healing the next day. It was months later I learned that peanuts caused outbreaks and I have since stopped eating them. Had I not been taken the Red Marine Algae, this outbreak episode would have lasted me about 10 days.

I saw on another site to take hot baths in epson salt and to take L Lysine. I tried both and they both worked very well.
The hot espson salt bath is good for a break out. Fill your bath tub up with water as hot as you can stand it - pour some epson salt in the tub under the running water. Sit in the tub for at least 30 minutes and try to do this twice a day. It will feal the sore faster and take away a lot of the pain.
L-Lysine is a vitamin that you can buy over the counter. I paid about $3 for a bottle of 100 tablets!!! Follow the directions on your bottle but for mine I take once a day. I haven't had a break out since I started taking them!! It's amazing and so inezpensive. I recommend this to everyone.

Vitamin B Complex is important for healing and immune function.
Colloidal Silver destroys bacteria and viruses; can be taken internally and topically.
Apple Cider Vinegar kills the virus on contact.
Garlic is a natural antibiotic.
Tea tree oil is a natural antibiotic; kills the virus on contact.

Sitting for five to ten minutes in a warm 'sitz' bath three or four times a day sometimes inactivates the sores and speeds up healing by drying out the sores. Prepare a 'sitz' bath by filling your bathtub with three to four inches of warm water, then add sea salt and a little bicarbonate soda.
The warm water brings circulation to the area, cleans and heals for positive results.
