herpes simplex, suppression
"I contracted herpes 3 years ago at age 38 and was absolutely devastated after having a fun and fancy free sex life my whole adult life. I felt like my life was over. I took a natural antiviral which helped block outbreaks from eating foods high in arginine . But as my job got very stressful, the natural antiviral couldn't block that, and I was getting a breakout every few weeks. I suddenly felt like I had no control. And I was fine until I'd get an outbreak, and then it was an ugly reminder of the person who gave it to me. I went to my doctor and got 500mg per day and it really was a lifesaver! It's great for suppression and I recommend. It gives self esteem back!"
