Preventing cold sores (fever blisters - oral herpes) was once nearly impossible, but now quite simple. If you will let me explain in this article, you will quickly realize how easily you can be preventing cold sores.
Preventing cold sores, oral herpes and fever blisters can be enjoyed simply by taking high-quality nutritional supplements every single day. You may find that this is all you have needed right along.
Hard to believe you say? I know exactly what you mean. If it works so well, why do so many cold sore victims still not know about it? Trust me - many smart people are preventing cold sores everyday with this one method alone.
In a minute you will discover how vitamins work for preventing cold sores. But first it is important to understand the cause of a cold sore.
If you have oral herpes, fever blister or cold sore outbreaks, you were infected by the herpes simplex virus at some earlier point in your life. 89% of the world population is infected with this virus. Usually this happens before our tenth birthday.
The herpes virus is - most of the time - in a latent state. It hides deep below the surface in the roots of your facial nerves. Should it sense a drop in your immune defenses, it will move to the surface, replicate and create a new sore.
Anti-bodies are the defense soldiers our body creates when a virus becomes active in our bodies. Each group of anti-bodies specially target the virus for which it was created. Each time the herpes virus becomes active, fresh new anti-bodies are added to the group.
If the correct nutrients are available, these anti-bodies will be a strong force in preventing cold sores. Without the needed nutrients, the anti-bodies will be weak and ineffective for preventing cold sores.
A top-quality vitamin and mineral supplement will provide most of the nutrients you will need for preventing cold sores. All the vitamins will have a big impact on oral herpes, plus minerals zinc, magnesium and calcium.
Recent studies now show that calcium deficiency is common in those who have frequent cold sores. Calcium is big against oral herpes, cold sores and fever blisters. Calcium keeps the body alkaline. No virus can get a foothold in an alkaline environment.
The anti-stress vitamins B and C are very important in reducing the effects of daily stress on our bodies. Stress weakens the immune system and is the primary cause of cold sore episodes.
Vitamins A, D and E are the skin vitamins. These oil-soluble vitamins keep your skin firm and radiant. If you do get a cold sore, it is these 3 vitamins that will help it to mend quickly.
You may wonder why we cannot get all these nutrients from food rather than supplements.
Yes, food is where all our vitamins and minerals should come from. They are in a form that our body was designed to use. Years ago our food was abundant and bursting with flavor and nutrition because the farm land was fresh and rich.
Over the past 100 years, our farmland has become quite depleted due to heavy commercial farming. Without the nutrients in the soil, our foods no longer have the nutrients they once had.
Scientists have shown recently that it would take 59 ounces of spinach today to equal the nutrients in one ounce of 1950 spinach. Tomatoes were found to have only half the nutrients they once did. Our bodies are literally starving.
Today, we just cannot eat enough to effectively provide our body with the essential vitamins and minerals it needs to build a strong immune system and enjoy optimum health. The herpes simplex virus is just one of many viruses out of control right now.
Preventing cold sores requires us to provide our system the nutrients it needs to form powerful antibodies. Organically grown foods are usually much higher in nutrients. But this, too, will not provide the actual quantity your body needs.
A daily vitamin regimen, as many have found, is a simple, powerful way of preventing cold sores. It gives your body the building blocks it needs for a strong immunity against herpes simplex and other viruses.
There are many other cold sore tactics that may help you. And, although they may be great remedies, this certainly should be your initial step toward preventing cold sores.
