Coldsore Cure: L-lysine

    Hi,

    I am a long time sufferer of coldsores and like anyone who get them I know that its not the pain of one that's the problem - its how disgusting they look. I've tried countless different remedies and 'cures' including soaking em in earl grey teabags, ice, herbs and of course Zovirax - each as useless as the last.

    But over the last year or so I've started taking L-Lysine everyday. By itself I didn't find that it drastically reduced the number or severity of the coldsores but if you start taking up 2500mg of L-Lysine four times a day once you feel the 'tingle' and beyond, I've found that it definitely minimises the outbreak and 80% of the time the coldsores will be so reduced that they are barely noticeable and practically gone with 2-3 days - it certainly beats rubbing cream into it for up to 2 weeks until its gone.

    As far as I know there is nothing too wrong with taking this much Lysine as it is just an amino acid but as I said - this stuff is amazing and has certainly helped me a lot.

    Hope this helps anyone who's as peeved off at them as I am...
