Prior to 1981 there was no medically approved treatment for female genital herpes. As patients were told that there was no herpes treatment available, the feelings of hopelessness and loss of control must have been prevalent. To have been advised that the only way to prevent herpes transmission was by abstinence during an outbreak would have been extremely difficult to comprehend.
In 1982 Zovirax (aka acyclovir) which is still prescribed to this day, became available by prescription. Subsequently both famciclovir and valacyclovir were also developed. The three medications are also known by their brand names, Zovirax, Famvir, and Valtrex respectively.
Many people do not understand how the medications for vaginal herpes treatment actually work against the virus. All three of the medications operate in much the same manner.
The above prescription medications are structured to include the nutrients that the HSV2 virus requires to survive and reproduce. The virus takes up these nutrients thinking they are real when in reality, they are fake greatly limiting the virus’s ability to replicate itself. As the HSV2 virus utilized the anti-viral (masquerading as a required nutrient) to replicate itself, it is unable to and reproduction of the virus is dramatically reduced. I am a staunch believer that if you can visualize the above described process happening in your body step by step, the effectiveness of any pharmaceutical medication would be greatly enhanced. If you cannot afford the medication (or are not comfortable taking a pharmaceutical), and knowing what you do now about viral replication requiring certain nutrients, you can spend a few minutes a day visualizing the genital herpes virus in your body NOT receiving the nutrients it requires and dying a slow and painful death… (OK, that last part is optional). You visualize any herpes outbreak healing and getting smaller with colors such as green and blue. Visualization is an extremely powerful and underrated and under utilized method of herpes treatment.
A few more herpes treatment facts:
Acyclovir was proven to have poor absorption by the body (only 15% was available for use to disguise itself as essential nutrients to the herpes virus), and thus valacyclovir was brought to market which has a much more effective rate of absorption. Because of this, Valtrex does not need to be taken nearly as often as Zovirax. Famvir has a somewhat different chemical structure but works in the same way.
The prescription medications listed above can be quite expensive (it could be worth your time to find another online pharmacy in Australia, the UK, or Canada), and can also affect your liver negatively. Long term dosage or very high amounts should not be considered without medical supervision and blood work to monitor liver enzyme levels.
Many other natural herpes remedies can be equally effective.
