Cold Sore Prevention methods.

Avoid arginine-rich foods such as , cola, peas, chocolate, beer, grain cereals, peanuts, gelatin, and cashew nuts.

Relaxation techniques can go a long way in the relief of stress and not only keep your mental state on a even keel but will also help your body to help itself.

Most cold sore treatments don't deliver quite what they promise.  Over-the-counter salves are considered in the main to be comfort treatments and tests have proven that salves will not shorten your cold sore duration by using them.  Prescription treatments may reduce the recovery time of cold sores by a few days but not in a radical way mostly shortening the recovery period by only a few days.

The only true way for you to become cold sore free is to help your body from the inside out and a good prevention plan begins by optimizing your body's own defenses.

Vitamin and Mineral supplements.

As you suffer from the herpes simplex virus or cold sore virus you must start taking daily a good quality mineral and vitamin supplement to build up your body's natural immune functions

You should be taking a good quality over the counter vitamin and mineral supplement and also include a omega 3 fish oil capsule daily.

Taking Lysine capsules (up to 1000mg per day) to prevent recurring cold sores has been shown to work well because when your body cells are high in lysine content, they are low in arginine content.  Lysine forces out excess arginine (see above) and without arginine the cold sore or herpes virus cannot be replicated by your body cells so stopping the virus in its tracks. Buy Lysine here. 

Following this regime strictly should be your number one priority in your task of cold sore prevention and will dramatically reduce your chances of ever getting a cold sore again.

I am sure you will agree the best cure for cold sores is to prevent them starting in the first place.

I rigidly stick to my own cold sore prevention techniques mentioned above and with sticking to the cold sore freedom in 3 days method I have not had a cold sore on my lips for many years However in doing my own research on preventing the cold sore virus I deliberately stopped taking and implementing all of the above ( I wanted to get pictures of my own coldsore  for this site.) after quite a long wait I eventually did get a recurrence of my old friend the cold sore on the lip but it was not as vigorous as previous attacks and I can only deduce that in my opinion that the above Techniques even though I was not implementing them at the time had built up my immune system to such a point where it prevented the virus from becoming very vigorous and inflamed and only lasted about five to six days from tingle to completely cleared. since starting up all the techniques again and sticking to them I have not had any recurrences of cold sores to date.

It was not the most pleasant thing in the world getting a cold sore after years of being virus free but I got my own photographs to display on this site.
