Dear Brooks Bradley:

Thank you very much for this solution.  I will get some DMSO somewhere and  try 
it  

When I first got a cold sore this season CS helped with it over night.  This 
happened a couple of times but then it stopped working and the cold sores 
stayed.    I have known that  herpes is a virus but thought the CS would take 
care of it.  

Not so, evidently, but I do want to mention one thing.  I'd been soaking small 
cotton pads with the CS solution and applying them to the sores.  But the CS I 
was using came from a small plastic spray bottle I had filled with CS.  I have 
been wondering about the plastic bottle, so I began using cotton soaked with CS 
from a  brown glass bottle instead, and I think it is making a difference.   My 
cold sores are much better this morning.


Faith G.

  Cold sores are caused by Herpes Simplex I (HVS-1), a virus which is present 
in a large portion of the human population. While quite vexing in some cases, 
it, alone, is not life threatening....nor a major health challenge in its 
principal presentations. The herpes family of viruses may be driven quiescent, 
temporarily, but are lifetime companions of the afflicted. This is typical of 
viruses in general. There are many treatments for acute outbreaks....most 
palliative in nature. One protocol we have found to be particularly effective 
is the employment of lysine (many use the ointment applied topically) taken at 
approximately 300 mg daily, together with the topical use of a lysine/DMSO 
solution. The favored (by us) solution strength is 20% DMSO (by volume) mixed 
with a super-saturated solution of lysine......applied to the blisters 
  once each hour the first day and once each 2 hours thereafter---until the 
eruptions are controlled (usually by day 3). One convenient method for making a 
super-saturated lysine solution is by placing about one ounce of water in a 
small glass container and adding powdered lysine until no more will go into 
solution....then add 20% (by volume) full strength DMSO. It is quite easy to 
use cotton Q-tips to apply the solution to the blisters. One suggestion; try to 
avoid licking your lips for about 2 minutes after applying the solution, but be 
sure not to lick them for at least one minute-----to insure an acceptable 
tissue penetration of the solution. One ounce of this solution will be 
sufficient to treat many "cold sores". This, particular, solution has a very 
long shelf life. 
  If any of the lesions are infected at the time of treatment, just add 10% (by 
volume) CS at 10 ppm strength....to the parent solution. 
  If you are a "physical coward" (as am I), the application of any quality aloe 
vera gel 
  product....a few minutes prior to applying the DMSO X Lysine 
protocol-----will yield welcome 
  pain reduction. 
  Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.

    Well, it is very damp here and some people have trouble with the dampness 

    but I never thought it bothereed me. Maybe I've been wrong about that. 

    Thanks Kathryn. Faith G.

    I have had exposure to mold toxins in the air here, and one of the 

    effects of that is to cause cold sores to appear and not go away, even 

    with the silver. I have not been successful in entirely eliminating 

    the exposure, so far. 



    If there is exposure to mold toxins in the air or in the diet, it can 

    cause that. It messes with the immune response, so if it is that, you 

    will not catch a cold or anything like that, but you will have cold 

    sores. There has been a lot of work done about this in animals, and 

    somehow those results are not usually applied to humans.
