You Must

NOW here is the trick you do not want to do one thing at a time, you want to do all those things at the same time.
Cellular communication is your first line of defense against a herpes outbreak
Scientists are calling the “miracle” eight sugars The best herbal connection for cellular communication… they call them the essential sugars. If you give your body these eight sugars that are found on the planet ALL AT THE SAME TIME……your Immune system should stop any viral outbreak. The sugars are important because sugars are now known to be the actual communicators between the cells in the body. It was long thought that the proteins that form on each cell were the communicators, but this has proven to be wrong. If the cells do not have the correct sugars they will be unable to send the proper messages of what their needs are. If this communication is interrupted for too long the cell will die and if these sugars are missing in a large number of related cells then its tissue will die as well.
Kelp, Whey protein isolate, Psyllium Husk, Shiitake Mushrooms, Shark Cartilage and fenugreek Make up our Essential Sugars
THEY are called GLYCONUTRIENTS!!

Pau d'arco: All natural anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal agent, has been shown to be effective against candida & more. Lapachol, found in the inner bark, activates human immune cells (lymphocytes and granulocytes) in low concentrations. Lymphocytes include cells that mediate immunological reactions, such as T-cells. Granulocytes are white blood cells found in the blood that devour foreign cells and bacteria. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Recent studies indicate that glycyrrhizic acid disrupts latent Kaposi's sarcoma (as also demonstrated with other herpesvirus infections in the active stage), exhibiting a strong anti-viral effect. The Chinese use liquorice to treat Tuberculosis. Oregon-grape root: is commonly used as an effective alternative to the threatened goldenseal. Both plants similarly contain the alkaloid berberine, known as an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial used in the treatment of infection.

Oregano Powder: Oregano contains an impressive list of plant derived chemical compounds that are known to have disease preventing and health promoting properties. The herb is rich in poly-phenolic flavonoid anti-oxidants (vitamin A, carotenes, lutein, zea-xanthin, and cryptoxanthin) and has been rated as one of the plant sources with highest anti-oxidant activities. These compounds help act as protective scavengers against oxygen-derived free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) that play a role in aging and various disease processes.
St Johns Wart Powder: It is thought that hypericin, pseudohypericin, and other chemicals in St. John's wort may stick to the surfaces of viruses and keep them from binding to host cells. Another theory is that St. John's wort may contain chemicals that interfere with the production or release of viral cells.
Lemon Balm Powder: Research has shown that the plant contains polyphenols, it can help significantly in the treatment of cold sores and combat the herpes simplex virus, shingles as well as other viral afflictions. Studies have shown a significant reduction in the duration and severity of herpes. Researchers also noted a "tremendous reduction" in the frequency of recurrence. When applied to cold sores or genital sores caused by the herpes simplex virus; creams or ointments containing lemon balm have speeded healing. The infections did not spread as much and individuals using topical lemon balm also reported more relief from symptoms such as itching and redness. At least part of this effect is due to antiviral properties of caffeic acid and rosmarinic acid, which are contained in lemon balm
