Cold Sore Cures - Is It Possible To Cure Cold Sores?

Cold sore cures - there has been a lot of argument whether or not they actually exist. Right now, I would like to give you the facts and put an end to the confusion about cold sore cures for good.

One group will tell you there are no cold sore cures available today. Another group swears there are several good cold sore cures in use right now. Who is telling the truth?

You may be surprised to know that both groups are right. Yes - it is because they are each talking about something different.

Those who tell you cold sore cures are not real are referring to the herpes simplex virus. This is the virus that causes all oral herpes outbreaks (cold sores). Once infected, this parasite virus will be a lifetime resident of your body.

Cold sore cures, from their point of view, must remove the herpes virus from the body to be a true cure. Since the herpes virus cannot be taken out by any known method, they will shout there are NO cold sore cures.

Directly opposed are medical experts who claim there are honest cold sore cures that can heal or prevent the actual oral herpes cold sore outbreaks.

Their thought is this - if you have no cold sore symptoms for the rest of your life, you are cured of the disease. Yes, even if the virus continues living within you. In addition, if you heal a current sore, you have cured that outbreak.

Ponder this a bit.

Every pathogenic disease is manifested by a certain set of symptoms. And we all carry a variety of viruses and bacteria capable of creating those diseases. But if you have no symptoms, you do not have that disease.

The same is also true with cold sores.

Basically everyone in the world carries the herpes simplex virus (estimates claim about 90%). And, although we do not know exactly why, nearly 38% of the folks infected will never get a single cold sore symptom.

It could be said that their bodies have BUILT-IN cold sore cures. The rest of us have to develop our own personal cure.

Cold sore cures are treatments that prevent or permanently heal cold sores. There is no way to eliminate the virus from our bodies. But, you surely can prevent the virus from causing any symptoms.

Are you wanting to cure a current cold sore - or prevent future outbreaks? Either way, there are some very good cold sore cures that will help you reach your goal.

A word of caution, however.

Most store-bought cold sore remedies are for comfort. They have NOT been shown to shorten the duration or prevent your cold sores, in spite of some wild claims to the contrary. You may have already found this out.

Start taking a good vitamin supplement. This is one of the most basic cold sore cures. The herpes virus is very much affected (and cold sores easily prevented) by nutritional remedies.

Also, lysine has been proven to cure cold sores for many people. Some lucky individuals have every day high levels of lysine due to diet and lifestyle. Other people have to take lysine capsules to achieve the same success.

Before you buy any remedy, start building your immunity with the above recommendations first. Without a solid base, other cold sore cures will not work as well - or at all.

There are many good cold sore cures - that is the truth. Some will work differently for you than they will for others. This is true because your body is unique and reacts differently.

Getting quality nutrition and raising your immune system to a higher level will help any treatment work exceedingly better. And it will help in the creation of your own list of cold sore cures.
