Cold sores causes, Solutions and testimonies.
Editor Pat Judge
Cold sores
usually appear around the mouth or lips. They are caused by the herpes
simplex virus. After the initial infection, the cold sore virus
becomes inactive or dormant waiting to reappear during times of
prolonged stress, or when our immune system weakens. Most persons have
been exposed to cold sores but their immune system suppresses
reoccurrences. Touching a cold sore can spread the infection to other
sites or persons. Washing hands is of utmost importance, and it is
recommended to use gloves when applying ointment to a child's cold sore.
Since the herpes simplex virus feeds on an excessive
intake of the amino acid arginine, diets avoiding citrus fruits and nuts
should be followed. Supplementation with the amino acid Lysine is
advised. This site explains
that arginine speeds cell replication causing cold sore outbreaks,
while lysine decreases cell replication. Yogurt with an ideal ratio of
lysine to arginine is recommended as a beneficial food to prevent cold
sores.
Clinical studies verify that Melaleuca oil has antiviral effects on the herpes simplex virus. Apply T36-C5
at the first hint of a possible cold sore infection. Repeat every hour
until the lesion either disappears or comes to a head. If it comes to a
head continue to apply T36-C5 once every 2 hours, followed by MelaGel or Renew Lotion. When out in the sun, protect your lips against excessive sun exposure by making it a habit to apply Sun Shades Lip Balm SPF 15.
Protecting and enhancing your immune system is vital for good health. Recent research has found that viruses that cause cold sores, along with other viral or bacterial infections, may be linked with cognitive problems.
Fruits and vegetables are rich with immune enhancing antioxidants. The probiotic Florify adds healthy immune system protecting bacteria to our digestive tract. CellWise and NutraView also provide needed antioxidants. The Vitality 4 Pack with antioxidant-protecting Oligo includes Florify and CellWise. NutraView also provide beneficial antioxidants.
My husband has gotten cold sores for many years and
usually gets three or four a year. Whenever he would
get one it would always be a minimum of ten days before
it was even beginning to heal and not be draining.
After finding Melaleuca this has changed for him! Now
when he feels a cold sore coming on he immediately puts
Melaleuca Oil on it and that keeps it from filling with
fluid and needing to drain! Now instead of a minimum
of ten days of dealing with it, he now only has to deal
with it for a maximum of three days! Also they are not
nearly as sore as they used to be, and seem to happen
less often as well!

My family has a history of severe cold sores. Many
times they were so bad that they would progress up to,
and even into, the nose. Then one of us tried the T36-C5
with wonderful results, and everybody tried it! We
found out that if we applied the T36-C5 at the first
symptom of a cold sore, it never progressed from there.
It halted the cold sore to the point that it would dry
up and heal very effectively. And they don't happen as
often anymore either. Thank you Melaleuca for this
wonderful product! It is my #1 first aid for humans and
animals.

I have been plagued with cold sores for many years,
needing prescription medication to help clear them up.
Still they were very painful and created craters in my
lip. Once Melaleuca oil T36-C5 is applied to the sore
the pain quickly subsides. MelaGel is also effective.
The last cold sore I had came on suddenly over the
weekend and I could not obtain the medication from the
pharmacy, to my amazement the sore was nearly fully
contained by the time Monday came and I no longer felt
I would need the prescription medicine. I have also been
taking the Vitality Total vitamins and have not had any
cold sores over the summer, which is unusual since the
sunlight will normally cause me to get them. Love
Melaleuca for great products that make me feel and look
better.

I used to get cold sores monthly. I read that taking
ProVex-Plus and Activate would help build up my body to
be able to resist them. I started taking both
supplements and was able to stop the recurrence of my
cold sores. I have been able to drop the Activate on a
regular basis and keep them away by only adding
ProVex-Plus to my regular supplements. Using these
steps I have been able to keep from getting cold sores
except for rarely when I am much stressed.
In the rare times that I get a cold sore now, I can
prevent it from growing into a full-fledged one by
dabbing T36-C5, or T40-C3, when I first feel the
tingling begin. I follow up with Sei Bella Lip
Treatment to add moisture to my lips since they usually
seem to dry out at this time.
We really appreciate having The Melaleuca Wellness
Guide in our home to give us more ideas as to how to
use these wonderful products.

Love, love, love T36-C5 Melaleuca oil. For years I
have had to buy prescription medication to work on cold
sores and not always with good results. The cold
sores would take about a week to disappear and they
would end up on either side of my mouth - not pleasant
to look at or feel. When I became a Melaleuca
customer, I tried the T36-C5 oil with trepidation. I
dabbed a small amount onto my finger and on each cold
sore. Within two days the cold sores had diminished
greatly and within four days, they were completely
gone! What an amazing product. Thank you Frank and
Melaleuca!

For as long as I can remember, I always came down with
a cold sore when I was stressed. I used Carmex to help
soothe the sores, but they would still get very big,
itch, and take about a week before they would even go
away. Since joining Melaleuca last October, I found
out that the Melaleuca oil helped with many ailments,
and decided to dab a little bit on when I felt a cold
sore coming on. I would repeat this a couple times a
day to keep the pain away, and needless to say, I have
not had a cold sore since that time!

My grandson was 8 years old when his Mother was in an
accident and she was taken from us. I found myself
helping my single parent son with his 3 young boys (age
8, 4, and 1). As most of us know stress can cause a
lot of illness and I believe cold sores are one of
them. Dalton had one in his mouth and when I saw it I
remembered that someone had said that Melaleuca oil was
a good remedy for treating this condition. So....I got
a Q-tip in one hand and the bottle of Melaleuca Oil in
the other and applied it to a reluctant young boy. He
complained that it tasted awful. I agree, but he
immediately got relief from the pain. It healed up
almost immediately. Not too long after that he got
another one. But this time Dalton brought me the Q-tip
and the bottle and said "Mema hurry, it tastes awful." If an 8 year old boy brings you something that "tastes
awful"....well, I don't need to say anything else. IT
WORKS LIKE MAGIC!

Being
a 15-yr old teen, I used to get cold sores so often that I could tell
when one was coming. Predicting the arrival of a new cold sore, I
immediately applied Melagel on my lip; the cold sore never emerged. Now
that I am using SunShades regularly, I no longer get cold sores. Since
cold sores are viruses, it's more important to defend before they
attack.

About 15 years ago I used to get such terrible cold
sores, they would literally go across my gum line all
the way around my mouth. Regular mouthwashes were
painful to use because of the alcohol content. The only
product that did help tasted nasty and I'm sure it
wasn't good for me. Since becoming a Melaleuca
customer, I have had one small flare up that was gone
within two days of using the mouth rinse and tooth polish
three times a day. I only wish I had been a customer
all those years ago.

We know that cold sores are caused by herpes simplex
virus which is similar to the one that causes genital
herpes. Because this is such an embarrassing situation,
I'd never asked about it. I was given a copy of The Melaleuca
Wellness Guide when I became a customer. In the first
few chapters there is a story about people with herpes.
I began to build my immune system up with the vitamins.
I've always known that drugs all have side effects. I
had been prescribed a popular medicine for herpes. That
particular medicine over time can cause liver damage.
Instead of turning to prescriptions, I keep my immune
system at peak performance by eating healthy,
exercising, and taking my Melaleuca vitamins daily. At
first sign, I put the oil directly on the sore and it is
gone within hours!!!! Now I'm at zero outbreaks per
year versus before Melaleuca when I would have 4 or 5
per year.

I had a series of visits to my dentist, and I had more
visits lined up. The stress of drilling and dental work
seemed to bring on a cold sore several times. The next
time I felt a slight "tingling" after seeing the
dentist, which was the warning sign that a cold sore
was starting, I used the Melaleuca Oil on a
cotton swab and put it right at the corner of my mouth
where I felt the tingling. Within a day, instead of a
new cold sore, all the symptoms disappeared! I have
used this method several times and each time it knocks
the cold sore out of commission before it fully forms!
It is a huge relief!
