Externally, you can use melissa cream 4 times a day on sores or propolis cream [an anti-viral], zinc cream, or ice [up to 10 minutes on and 10 minutes off]!.

ARGININE FEEDS THE COLD SORE VIRUS - LYSINE STARVES IT!.
The main protein in the herpes virus is arginine - a common amino acid found in most foods!. Without proper quantities of arginine your nerve cells cannot create new virus, thus avoiding [or removing ] a cold sore!.
Your cells store arginine in a specific area within the cell because it is an important protein for many different functions!.
Lysine is another very common amino acid that closely resembles arginine!. The big difference here is that your cells cannot create herpes virus by using lysine protein!.
Lysine is stored within the cell in the same area as arginine!. The more lysine you store, the less room for arginine and the less likely a cold sore will appear!.
If the herpes simplex virus senses an arginine shortage, it will give up and return to the dormant state!.
FOOD ITEMS THAT HELP PREVENT/TREAT COLD SORES

Eggs are an excellent choice too!. Dairy products are rich in lysine including cheese and yogurt!. Good Wisconsin cheddar is excellent for lysine, as is ricotta cheese!. Flounder is a fish that is extremely high in lysine - giving you about 14,000 milligrams of lysine per pound (450 grams) serving!.
In addition to these foods, you can take Omega-3 capsules [1 to 3 per day], lysine [1,000 mg!. three times a day], zinc, vitamin E, and drink melissa teaWww@Answer-Health@Com
