Preventing Cold Sores - When You Cannot Afford a Cold Sore

By: Denny Bodoh

Preventing cold sores (fever blisters - oral herpes) was once nearly impossible, but now quite simple. If you will let me explain in this article, you will quickly realize how easily you can be preventing cold sores.

Preventing cold sores, oral herpes and fever blisters can be enjoyed simply by taking high-quality nutritional supplements every single day. You may find that this is all you have needed right along.

I know this may sound unbelievable. Yes - you may be wondering why so many people suffer from these outbreaks when preventing cold sores can be achieved with such little effort.

In a minute you will discover how vitamins work for preventing cold sores. But first it is important to understand the cause of a cold sore.

Cold sore and fever blister episodes are identical oral herpes sores caused by infection of the herpes simplex virus. About 88% of all people carry the herpes virus and were infected before they were 12 years old.

The herpes virus is - most of the time - in a latent state. It hides deep below the surface in the roots of your facial nerves. Should it sense a drop in your immune defenses, it will move to the surface, replicate and create a new sore.

When any virus infects us, our body creates anti-bodies against that particular virus strain. Every time you get an oral herpes sore, your body creates more anti-bodies to replenish the existing troops.

If the correct nutrients are available, these anti-bodies will be a strong force in preventing cold sores. Without the needed nutrients, the anti-bodies will be weak and ineffective for preventing cold sores.

A top-quality vitamin and mineral supplement will provide most of the nutrients you will need for preventing cold sores. All the vitamins will have a big impact on oral herpes, plus minerals zinc, magnesium and calcium.

Recent studies now show that calcium deficiency is common in those who have frequent cold sores. Calcium is big against oral herpes, cold sores and fever blisters. Calcium keeps the body alkaline. No virus can get a foothold in an alkaline environment.

The anti-stress vitamins B and C are very important in reducing the effects of daily stress on our bodies. Stress weakens the immune system and is the primary cause of cold sore episodes.

The main vitamins for healthy, radiant skin are the oily vitamins E, D and A. Your body can store these longer than B and C. Not only do they help against herpes simplex infections, but the help speed knitting of the skin.

Is it not possible to get all the vitamins we need from a good diet?

Yes, food is where all our vitamins and minerals should come from. They are in a form that our body was designed to use. Years ago our food was abundant and bursting with flavor and nutrition because the farm land was fresh and rich.

Over the past 100 years, our farmland has become quite depleted due to heavy commercial farming. Without the nutrients in the soil, our foods no longer have the nutrients they once had.

Scientists have shown recently that it would take 59 ounces of spinach today to equal the nutrients in one ounce of 1950 spinach. Tomatoes were found to have only half the nutrients they once did. Our bodies are literally starving.

Scientists feel the lack of essential nutrients in food today is an important factor in the epidemic of viruses, such as herpes simplex, that we see now. Chronic disease is at an all time high.

Preventing cold sores requires us to provide our system the nutrients it needs to form powerful antibodies. Organically grown foods are usually much higher in nutrients. But this, too, will not provide the actual quantity your body needs.

Preventing cold sores with additional consumption of vitamins and minerals on a daily basis is smart and effective. It will provide the higher amounts of nutrients you need for cold sore control.

There are many other cold sore tactics that may help you. And, although they may be great remedies, this certainly should be your initial step toward preventing cold sores.
