Treating Herpes has traditionally involved dealing with the symptoms of Herpes outbreaks
. That has been the big focus of conventional medicine. Whether it is topical creams or oral medications such as anti-viral drugs, treating Herpes usually began at the point of an upcoming outbreak.
Some doctors prescribe low doses of anti-viral medications to be taken at all times, perhaps with a boost in the dose when there is yet another impending outbreak. But the drugs and creams do very little to reduce outbreaks of Herpes symptoms. They only treat the symptoms once they emerge.
It is true in most cases that the number of outbreaks reduces over time. But this has nothing to do with the medications which have been prescribed. Instead, this is as a result of the antibodies which have been built up by the immune system naturally.
And it you think about it, the current methods of treating Herpes actually impede the immune system. The build-up of antibodies is actually slowed down by the drug treatments. Any that is on top of any of the other side effects nobody really knows the complete story on potential side effects of some of the newer anti-viral medications yet.
Does it really make sense when treating Herpes to impede the immune system? I would say no! That is going to keep you dependent on the drugs longer!
But the inherent weakness with the conventional medical approach lies in where it kicks-in in the first place. It is not doing anything to stop the Herpes virus from activating it only starts working after activation.
Natural holistic approaches on the other hand work to strengthen your immune system. This can stop the virus from even activating in the first place. And metabolic balancing can make the Herpes virus never want to stay active if it is ever triggered. The combination is powerful, and for treating Herpes it makes the most sense as it is dealing with the entire cycle and not just the part after activation.
