Help for herpes Herpes simplex is a common and troublesome virus, but there are ways to get relief without the expense -- and side effects - of prescription antiviral medications, such as Zovirax (acyclovir). In order to get your body to keep the virus in check, you must clean up your diet by eliminating all refined sugar and refined carbohydrates. I also advise herpes sufferers to get tested for food allergies and adopt an allergy-free diet until you are able to desensitise yourself to your major food allergens. In addition to managing your diet, it is important to start nutritional supplementation to boost your overall immune system. I recommend 2 grams of lysine twice a day between meals, 2 grams of vitamin C four times a day, 250 micrograms of selenium twice a day, one 50-milligram tablet of lithium three times a day, 30 milligrams of zinc picolinate twice a day and 50,000 units of vitamin A once a day. Although this may seem like a lot, this regimen is often needed for only a few months until your immune system strengthens.
