Are you sick of Herpes?

Have you had enough of the pain of Herpes?

Fed up with Herpes or wondering how you can protect yourself?

Or what to do to prevent giving this disease to someone you care about?

Let me show you the truth!

Let's take a look at HSV- 1 and 2 to see how alike and different the two viral types really are.

Leading researchers in science and medical will show us how the two compare in terms of severity, recurrences, and transmission rates. You will know  how each behaves in the genital area. And today you will learn how your having one type oral or genital herpes provides some protection against getting the second type.

And finally, we will briefly discuss all the other types of herpes and how we can protect ourselves and how we can prevent transmitting those to others as well.

So, let's get started!

A QUICK WORD!

Does The Oxygen Therapy Program work to rid the human body of the Herpes Simplex virus when nothing else does?

In the case of a herpes virus, initial interactions occur when a viral envelope glycoprotein (located inside the virus) called glycoprotein C (gC) binds to a cell surface particle called heparan sulfate.

This is how the virus enters the blood cell.

Heparan sulfate has been shown to react differently in laboratory cultures with varying amounts of oxygen. It has been found that the heparan sulfate receptors on the surface of the human cell membrane are less effective in high oxygen environments - this would give the herpes virus less access into a human cell in which it can replicate.

 


HERPES SIMPLEX 1

Under a microscope, HSV- 1 and 2 are virtually identical, sharing approximately 50% of their DNA. Both types infect mucus areas of the body, usually the mouth or genitals, and then establish latency in the nervous system. For both types, at least two-thirds of infected people have no symptoms, or symptoms too mild to notice. However, both types can recur and spread even when no symptoms are present.

The primary difference between the two viral types is in where they typically establish latency in the body- their "site of preference."

 



 

SITE OF PREFERENCE

HSV-1 usually establishes latency in the trigeminal ganglion, a collection of nerve cells near the ear. From there, it tends to recur on the lower lip or face.

HSV-2 usually sets up residence in the sacral ganglion at the base of the spine. From there, it recurs in the genital area .

The site of preference also determines where the virus hides when it is inactive.

But be aware that your genitals can become infected with HSV-1 through oral sex if your partner has a cold sore. It will manifest exactly as HSV-2 in that instance.
 

It is a common myth that HSV-1 is milder and less dangerous than HSV-2. This is untrue. The reality? HSV-1 is usually mild, especially when it infects the lips, face, or genitals. However, in some cases type 1 can recur spontaneously in the eye, causing ocular herpes, a potentially serious infection which can lead to blindness.

In very rare cases HSV- 1 can spread spontaneously to the brain, causing herpes encephalitis, a dangerous infection that can lead to death. HSV-1 is also the usual cause of herpes whitlow, an infection on the finger, and herpes gladiatorum or "wrestler's herpes" a herpes infection on the chest or face.

 

By the time they're teenagers or young adults, about 50% of Americans have HSV-1 antibodies in their blood. By the time they are over age 50, some 80-90% of Americans have HSV-1 antibodies.

 


HERPES SIMPLEX 2

By comparison, HSV-2 is widely believed to be a painful, dangerous infection that affects only people with very active sex lives. The reality? Some 22% of adult Americans from all backgrounds, income levels, and ethnic groups have HSV-2.The most recent national average is that 4 in 5 American adults have Herpes Simplex.

And even though a diagnosis of HSV-2 can be devastating to the patient, doctors often dismiss it as not being a serious health threat.


For example, most people infected with HSV-1 in the genital area have few, if any, outbreaks after the initial episode, far fewer than is typical with either oral HSV-1 or genital HSV-2.

 While experts estimate that some 30% of genital herpes infections in the United States may be caused by HSV-1, only 2- 5% of recurring genital outbreaks are caused by HSV-1.

Research conducted by Lawrence Corey, MD, and colleagues at the University of Washington in Seattle shows that genital HSV-2 recurs 10 times more often than genital HSV-1.



According to a study by Wald et al. (New England Journal of Medicine, 1995), among 110 women with genital herpes, the average number of recurrences per year for those with genital HSV-1 was zero. The same statistics were observed in people with oral HSV-2 infections. It seems that because the 2 viruses were specifically designed to reside in a particular hiding place and when they fail to do that, their impact is negligible usually with zero recurrences.

According to the Lafferty study, (Lafferty et al., New England Journal of Medicine, 1987), genital HSV-2 infections were the most frequently recurring herpes infections, followed by oral HSV-1, genital HSV-1, and last of all, oral HSV-2.

 

So, what does all this mean on a practical level for you and me day-to-day?

Let's look at some examples to find out.

Ex: 1 - Say you have genital HSV-1 and your partner has genital HSV-2. If you have unprotected sex, there is a small but real risk that you will get HSV-2, resulting in more outbreaks and more shedding. "We have documented cases where a person acquires HSV-2 after a prior genital HSV- 1 infection," says Wald. On the other hand, it's very unlikely that your partner will get genital HSV- 1 from you.

Ex: 2 - What if your partner has genital HSV-2 and you perform oral sex on him or her? Will you get HSV- 2 in the mouth?

ANS: - According to one study, almost 100% of recognizable HSV-2 infection is genital (Nahmias, Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases Supplement, 1990). One reason is that most adults are already infected with HSV-1 orally, which provides some immunity against infection with HSV 2. Another reason is that oral HSV-2 rarely reactivates, so even if an infection does exist, no one knows.

EX: 3 - Say you acquire genital HSV-1 through oral sex. Can you spread the virus to a partner through genital sex?

ANS:The answer is yes, but probably not as easily as it was spread through oral sex.

EX: 4 - If HSV infection is as easily transmitted from the mouth as from the genitals, then why do people take steps to prevent genital but not oral infection? Why don't we kiss through dental dams?

ANS: - It all has to do with social stigma. The inescapable fact is that HSV-1 is usually spread through contact with infected lips, while HSV-2 usually spread through contact with infected genitals. From a social point of view, the problem is not the disease; it's how you got it.

EX: 5 -  Your partner has Herpes Simplex 2 of the genitals but he has no sores present, you use a condom and have sex. Will this prevent you from getting herpes?

ANS: - Not necessarily. Herpes is not spread by bodily fluids, it is spread by skin-to-skin contact. If he has even a small blister that neither of you have seen, you can contract genital herpes if your skin comes into contact with that small blister. If he has a blister on his penis, then yes, a condom can give you some protection from that particular blister only.

 

Today, most doctors believe that opportunistic viruses such as both Herpes Simplex 1 and 2 only occur in bodies that are not properly oxygenated and hydrated. Dehydration can make such a profound difference because it signals that the body does not have the proper nutrients (which are carried by the red blood cells) to resist an infection.

Oxygen  plays such a great role in suppressing opportunistic infections because every cells in the body requires oxygen to survive and thrive. The are no disease-causing pathogens (with very, very few exceptions) that multiply using respiration and require oxygen. Generally a high oxygen environment kills viruses, bacteria, fungii, and other disease-causing microbes.

We have been duped into believing that our immune system must fight off every attacker that comes against our bodies, when in actuality, a properly hydrated and oxygenated body is the first line of defense against disease. (See what the experts have to say.)

Start your own Oxygen Therapy Program. A high oxygen environment may prevent the virus from activating once it comes out of hiding before it can manifest in your body or allow you to unwittingly (through shedding) transmit it to someone else.

So while no one can not say with 100% certainty that oxygen therapy will prevent the transmission of the herpes virus or even kill the virus once it is inside your body, I can say that in the absence of any other curative on the market, it certainly appears that a highly oxygenated body may prevent initial infection and lessen the chance of recurrences once you are infected.

Oxygenate Your Body Today!

 Oxygen therapy works so well because viruses and bacteria can not live in high-oxygen environments and your healthy cells can not become infected when they are properly oxygenated.

So what's the link between oxygen-deprivation, viruses and disease? Let's let the experts answer that question.

    Many people ask me why isn't everyone using this safe, simple therapy? Or why hasn't my doctor told me about it if it works so great? For the answers to those questions, please see here: H2O2 INFO

    And, in all honesty, why should your doctor tell you about this simple compound that will completely eliminate the need to purchase and take hundreds of pharmaceutical pills over your lifetime.

    The sad but true fact is that DISEASE IS BIG BUSINESS.

    Most people are not aware that the major pharmaceutical companies Merck,Astra-Zeneca, Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Bristol-MyersSquibb, and Sanofi-Aventis are the MOST profitable businesses in the world. They build wings and donate millions to hospitals and universities. Their relationship with your doctor is a lot more personal than may be healthy for your good health.

    Don't be deceived. The health business has been all about the money for a long, long time!

    So don't miss out on this opportunity to get your body in the best health of your life.
