When you have to deal with cold sores which keep coming back, getting some background on the real drivers can be helpful in formulating a solution.
If you wait until the sore begins to develop, then you are too late. The best you can hope for is to shorten the outbreak. Needless to say, that is a valuable strategy, but when you are only fighting half the battle you cannot expect to emerge victorious!
To deal with cold sores requires more than external strategies. People always look for the perfect herb, or the perfect application to dry out the sore and cause it to go away faster. What they should be looking for is a strategy to deal with cold sores before they start to emerge in the first place!
You are not going to be able to purge the Herpes virus from your body - medical science has not yet developed that treatment. And they probably never will. However, even though the virus is always in your body there are probably long periods of time during which you never suffer an outbreak.
Any many people go for years or decades without problems, even though they have exactly the same virus inside them as you do. The question you really need to be asking is what makes them so special. How come their bodies deal with the sores much better than your body does?
Where they succeed is on two fronts. First, their metabolism tends to cause the virus to remain in a sleeping or dormant state - hiding deep down in their central nervous systems. And equally important, in the less likely event that part of the virus tries to activate and come to the surface, their bodies successfully force the virus back to dormant state. In most cases this creates the happy state of affairs where they remain cold sore free on a permanent basis!
If you want to be cold sore free on the same permanent basis you need to replicate what they are doing. It is very feasible to educate yourself on the various triggers which tend to activate the virus.
Knowledge is power, and with that knowledge you can make the lifestyle changes which are necessary to take control of the triggers.
With the right knowledge, you can also adjust or tweak the metabolism so that it is ready for the activating virus and actually fights it!
To deal with cold sores permanently all that is holding you back is access to the right information!
