A guy was ”cured” using BHT. There’s an early post here in this forum by someone saying that using the Zapper actually caused the virus to activate (they had a breakout after using it). You may have to look through previous posts to find it.   [End]

Hi, I can relate totally to what you’re feeling but stressing is making matters worse. Believe that your body can heal itself (with you taking some steps to help it along). Your mental state actually can begin the healing process (your brain has a way to alter your body chemistry, too.) I went the herb route but never did the Zovirax/ acyclovir because I was concerned about the side effects. Also, the virus can, in some cases, become immune to the suppresant and become a ”super” strain. BHT works (from what they say in lab studies) by stripping the lipid (fat) coat from the virus ...

Hey, I think your body would start making antibodies to the herpes virus once it invaded - and you would test positive if you were infected. I would imagine that the test is pretty accurate. Maybe the condition is from yeast?   [End]

Yes, I have had a great deal of success with BHT. As of today, my breakouts have virtually come to a halt (and mine were chronic). BHT is fat soluable. I began several months ago taking 250 mg. capsules with ”high fat” meals. After about 2/3 weeks, the ”blister” like breakouts I used to get went away. I began to get very small ”pimple” like breakouts on my upper torso instead (when I’d eat trigger foods). BHT takes about a day or so to dissolve in oil. Although I took the capsules (sometimes one 250 mg. with each meal if I thought I was eating ”triggers”) I always wondered if they we ...

Hey all, I had looked into Oxygenation/Ozone therapy a few months before going onto BHT. My main concern was while I read on the web that a doctor in Italy was ”curing” people of Herpes with large doses of ozone, I also read elsewhere that there was a chance of getting blood clots. Has anyone else come across information like this? I, like Brian, believe that breakouts are related to having too much acid in the body. Lists of Alkaline/Acid foods are readily available on the web. Kevin   [End]

Hi, Take it easy. There ARE things that you can do to greatly reduce or eliminate the breakouts. I am using BHT with a great deal of success. I’m able to feel normal again. If you haven’t already read them, please take a look at the earlier posts related to BHT. There is also another member who is having success with Baking Soda and Vitamin C. His post is also below.   [End]

Hi, While I agree that keeping a more alkaline diet is a key to keeping the virus under control, I wonder if you might prefer to use alkaline” foods to achive the same end? I say this because alkaline foods may help your body stay in balance and using whole foods might work synergistically (A body that is too alkaline is as bad as one that is too acidic.) Just a thought...   [End]

Hi, Sorry, I didn’t realize that you posted an inquiry until now. Steven Fowkes said that a few people would contact him to say that the BHT didn’t work for them. I think he recommended that they take it with St. John’s wort. The combination of the BHT and hypericin seemed to do it. Were you taking the BHT with food (preferably with fats because BHT is fat soluble)? How long were you taking it? I was taking up to 1 gram a day for about a week or so (one capsule with each meal) to ”saturate” my system. After that I went to 2 capsules a day. I went to one for a day here and th ...

Hi Brian, Thanks for sharing your experience. While not everyone is sensitive to foods (I know a few people who could eat anything they want and not breakout) I think that for people who ARE food sensitive alkalinity is the key to staying healthy. (Even if a person isn’t dealing with ”H”.) Taking a look at a food alkalininty chart (there are lots of them on the web and, unfortunately, they’re not all in agreement) I was surprised to find out that grapefruit and orange juices become alkaline once they’re metabolized in the body. In addition to the BHT, I’ve also recently purcha ...

Hi, yes, BHT is in a lot of our food but in small quantities. I think I read that the average person consumes 2 mg a day. The ”therapeutic” dose is 250 mg. I don’t think it’s toxic at this level but consumtion of more than 1 gram (1000 mg)a day isn’t recommended.   [End]

Hi, That’s great that the C is working for you :) This is the first that I’m hearing about the use of baking soda in relation to ”H”. I wonder that the action of the two together is? Do they work as a suppressant? Or, do they combine to kill off the virus? I heard a woman on TV talk about baking soda turning fats into soap upon contact. Perhaps the baking soda works against the virus’ lipid coating? How did you find out about using that combination? For a while, I was taking up to 2000 mg. of C (but that must have been my saturation point). I was taking C complex (as opposed to aceta ...

Hi, BHT is a synthetic antioxidant. It is used as a preservative in cereal packaging, butter, etc... For more information, just do some web searches using the keywords ”BHT” and ”Herpes”. You can also follow the links in my previous post. Just look down at the messages below and find BHT in the headline. Hope this helps you.   [End]

It has been a little over a month since taking my first 100 mg capsule of BHT. The first day I took BHT, I started getting a small breakout. I took a 350 mg capsule with food in addition to the 100 mg that I had taken earlier, touched the spot with some olive oil and then put powdered BHT on top of that. The red bump was totally gone by the next day. It never went into a full breakout stage. A few days later, I started getting a small, red, pimple like spot (smaller than the previous one) and using using the oil and powdered BHT again, it disappeared within a few hours. Since that time, I ...

Hi, Yes, I agree. I think that people should do as much research as possible before introducing things into their system. I also think it’s important to read the good and the not so good. I listed some preliminary web links on my original post regarding BHT so that people could start to learn about it.   [End]

Hi, Thanks for your concern and for posting the articles. I believe it’s important to look at as much information as you can find (both pro and con) so that you can make the best educated choice. Yes, I read the studies you cited before I made the decision to try the antioxidant. 2 grams of BHT IS a lot. The recommended therapeutic dose is about 250/350 mg per day with 1 gram as being the top limit (not to be exceeded). From what I read, the animals were brought up to ”lethal” doses (the equivalent of a person consuming 1/2 a cup of BHT. I also read that some of the studies were f ...

As far as I know, a breakout does not have to be visible for the herpes virus to be contagious. Viruses are much smaller than bacteria and I believe that they can pass through a condom also. I’ve read here and there that as long as you’re not engaging in skin to skin contact a few days before a breakout and a few days after it heals, it’s relatively safe. But, I still think that the possibility of transmission still exists (and for someone who is negative for the virus, that’s too great).   [End]

Hi, Please take a look at my previous post regarding BHT. BHT has been a tremendous help to me. I have not had a major breakout in almost a month. Please mail me if you have any questions. Thanks!   [End]

Hi, Your MD could provide you with a script for blood work. Rather than wait any longer, it would be better if you knew what you were positive for (rather than make a possible misdiagnosis) - this way you could start healing. Perhaps it’s a combination of things - I say this because of the discharge. I know that for myself, certain foods were ”triggers” and would cause breakouts. Maybe if you started by cutting out certain foods like nuts, chocolate, spices, high fats, etc... you could see if those are the foods causing you to continuously have a problem. Just a thought.   [End]

Hi, Yes, it sounds like a herpes lesion but you should probably get a blood test to be sure. Your doctor would have to write a script and you’ll need to take it to a hospital (or anywhere else where they could perform the test for you). While I went through the same anguish, there are things you can do. I was having chronic breakouts in the same area. I’ve been taking BHT for the past few weeks and I have not had a major breakout since. (I have just finished a post to the site. Please check it out.) If you can’t see the post, please feel free to email me and maybe I can give you more in ...

I was suffering from chronic gential herpes breakouts. Mine were at the base of my spine and went outwards. It seemed that my breakouts were mainly diet related. But, at other times, even if I didn’t eat a ”trigger” food, I’d still breakout. I tried a high Lysine, low Arginine diet (which was very restrictive), all kinds of herbs, oils and 50 parts bleach and 50 parts water. Of the herbs, red algae seemed to help reduce the breakouts at 2000 mg a day. When I’d feel a breakout coming and see a small red spot, the bleach and water would usually take it away in a day but not always. Sometimes ...
