Herpes Inducing Foods

Certain foods contain an amino acid, called Arginine, which the herpes virus thrives off of. Most foods contain some Arginine, but, some foods have extremely high levels and these foods should be avoided to prevent herpes outbreaks. Food that are high in argine include, Nuts, Chocolate and Caffeine. These foods can aggravate the herpes virus and induce an outbreak, so, should be excluded. A list of other foods high in Arginine can be found at http://www.globalherbalsupplies.com/herpes/herpes_diet_information.htm

Treating Herpes Naturally

Lysine is a great way to treat and prevent herpes. It is an amino acid that can be taken as a preventative or to treat an outbreak once it has occurred. Some people who get herpes can tell the day before an outbreak that they are fighting the virus. It would be most wise to take Lysine at this time to prevent the outbreak from occurring, or to take it ongoing to prevent future outbreaks.

The Feeling full and Energized Supplement, Chromium

Ok~if you have fibromyalgia you might also have issues with hypoglycemia. I do! It is pretty bad. Eating small meals through the day helps to balance my blood sugar levels. And, staying away from processed foods and foods that are off the blood type diet (and gluten), also helps me to stay energized and prevents hypoglycemia. But, if you are doing all that you can with diet and still need help....or haven't got to the diet part yet....then, I recommend trying chromium to balance blood sugar levels. Taking it instantly raises your blood sugar level, decreasing fatigue and hunger. I also take it at night to help me sleep, since, hypoglycemia is a huge factor that contributes to my insomnia. And, sometimes, I take it in the morning a few hours before I get up to help me sleep stay asleep in the morning too. This supplement is a mainstay in my collection of supplements.

Healing Depression Naturally

According to Chinese Medicine colon health is associated with depression. This science states every organ system is associated with an emotion and when our organs become out of balance so do our moods. If your colon is unhealthy you may be experiencing depression. So, get your colon healthy.

One way to do this is to follow the blood type diet. Why do I say this? I say this because, it is a low lectin diet. Lectins that react with your biochemistry in undesirable ways cause inflammation and deterioration in the colon. If you follow the blood type diet, and get on a diet that is compatable with your colon it can rejuvenate and heal your colon, thus making you feel more happy.

If you are already following the blood type diet and you are still not feeling the best you can feel, try eliminating gluten from you diet. Your blood type diet plan may not suggest this, but, you may also be gluten sensitive. This is one of the only flaws that I have found with this diet. But, it was picked up by Dr. D'Adamo (the creator of the blood type diet) when I went to visit him in person. Since, not everybody can visit Dr. D'Adamo in person, to get a more personalized diet plan, just experiment.

One indication of having a gluten intolerance, if having a more lines on the palms of your hands than people around you. The more lines you have on your palms the worse the integrity of your colon. This is something I discovered by going to Dr. D'Adamo's Clinic and also by studying the blood type diet myself, and becoming a practitioner. So, gluten may be causing inflammation and degradation in your colon, if you have a lot of lines on the palms of your hands.

Depression can also be caused from emotional causes, as well, as physical. If you are surrounding yourself with people and making life choices that don't support your soul's purpose or mission...you may start to feel depressed. You may feel like the universe is not supporting you and helping you on your path to happiness. Well, this is easy to change. Start looking at the life choices you are making and change the ones that surround you with these people or these events, as an after effect.

Herpes and Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue

WARNING:  VALCYTE has been shown to cause CANCER in Lab Rats.

My Infectious disease doctor just put me on, what she deemed to be a far less toxic antiviral (after telling her I still have antibodies toward HHV-6, which is different than genital herpes and cold sores) called, Symmetrel.  So far, it is really helping with my fatigue.  It may however be disturbing my sleep.

Herpes may be an associated cause of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. If you have herpes and consistently get out breaks, get treated. The stress that your body is going through to fight this virus could be lifted, thus releasing energy in your body for your healing. Valtrex is used to treat herpes. And, Valcyte is a new medication that is now being used in Fibromyalgia and Fatigue treatment centers.
