Natural Herpes Cure that is Safe and Effective is Now Available from Resolve Herpes

LOS ANGELES, June 11, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Resolve Herpes, a company that offers all-natural mineral formulations, has just announced the launch of a new and effective herpes treatment. Called ResolveHerpes, the product is designed to help boost the body's immune system, which in turn can help it naturally clear out the herpes viruses HSV-1 and HSV-2.

As anyone who has dealt with the often-painful and embarrassing herpes symptoms knows quite well, it can be a very difficult condition to treat. While topical creams and drugs can make people feel better for a short time, they do not help to remove the virus from the body. During an outbreak, creams and antiviral drugs like Valtrex, Famivir and Acyclovir will help relieve the itching and burning and other symptoms, but the contained virus inside the person's cells will continue to multiply.

Through an innovative two-step process, ResolveHerpes goes well beyond simply putting a figurative band-aid over a herpes outbreak and goes deep into the body where the herpes simplex virus is living and multiplying. The formula, which some customers have called the "herpes solution," allows the body to effectively eliminate the viruses, fungi and toxins from the cells.

During Step One, which takes 36 days, people slowly increase their dosage of ResolveHerpes to 20 mls, 3 times a day. As the minerals push the virus out from the cells, people often experience minor symptoms such as pimples and a runny nose. This is actually proof that the mineral supplement is working and is nothing to be concerned about.

"The final part of the detox consists of concentrated minerals that are taken three times a day for 14 days," a spokesperson for ResolveHerpes noted, adding that this final part of the detox has the effect of allowing the body to expel any free viruses that remain in the body.

People who would like to learn more about ResolveHerpes are welcome to visit the company's website; there, they can read in-depth articles about the product and why it is so effective. The website also features a variety of positive customer testimonials from people who have had great success using the product.

"Last year I returned positive for Herpes types 1 and 2," wrote a customer named Brett, who said he then took the ResolveHerpes formula.

"I have just received the results for the exact same STD screen that I took last year, and the results for both Herpes type 1 and type 2 have come back negative. The test now states there is no evidence of myself ever being exposed to HSV."

About Resolve Herpes:

Resolve Herpes is a small, innovative company that is fortunate to have the benefit of a hardworking, inventive, and ingenious practitioner who for over 20 years refined a combination of all-natural and supremely pure minerals that could infiltrate every cell in the body and allow the body itself to do what it was naturally designed to do -- rid itself of most types of harmful toxins and viruses. The company features a product called ResolveHerpes that can help push toxins and viruses out of the body. For more information, please visit http://www.resolveherpes.com/

Neonatal herpes: what is it?

Just as the symptoms of genital herpes vary with the location of the infection, so do the signs of neonatal herpes.

In some unusual cases, herpes is already present at birth. Since infection usually begins at the time of birth, however, it typically takes several days to a couple of weeks to become evident.

The most common herpes infection in newborns is on the skin. The skin sore looks much like a sore on an adult - a single vesicle (blister) or cluster of vesicles.

Occasionally, herpes begins as a red or purplish rash.

Because many very mild skin rashes of infancy mimic herpes, it is important to ask a doctor's opinion when a skin rash develops in a newborn. Genuine herpes sores may be found anywhere on the skin, especially on the head of a baby born head first, the buttocks of a baby born rear first, and so on.

Figure 1 shows a newborn who was delivered feet first. However, skin lesions in a newborn are not always or only found at the site of first contact with the virus. Figure 2 shows the recurrent herpes on the hand of a baby that had neonatal herpes at birth.

Neonatal herpes on hand

Another common site of herpes of the newborn is the eyes. Most babies receive either silver nitrate or an antibiotic ointment in their eyes at birth to prevent eye infections caused by certain types of sexually transmitted infections, such as chlamydia and gonnorhea. However, this does not provide protection from herpes in the eyes. Herpes infection of the eye is often detectable only by an examination by an ophthalmologist (eye specialist). Talk to your doctor or your baby's doctor if you have concerns about a herpes infection in your baby's eyes.

Most studies suggest that many newborns who develop genital herpes never develop skin lesions at all. The more severe neonatal herpes syndrome is infection of the central nervous system (the brain). This infection spreads by being carried in the blood and distributed in many parts of the body. Brain infection tends to appear at 1 to 4 weeks of age.

An affected baby may suddenly lose his or her active behaviour and become lethargic. The baby may stop caring about things such as feeding, or may do just the opposite and become very irritable. This, of course, is a very common thing in normal babies as well, but an irritable baby should be assessed to make sure it is nothing more than "just colic." Shaking, twitching, or fits - like epileptic fits - should be checked out by a physician without delay. Babies with herpes infection of the nervous system may have skin sores, but very often a baby with serious herpes infection shows no skin problem whatsoever.

The same is true for disseminated herpes (herpes infection found in many parts of the body) - skin sores may or may not be present. Disseminated herpes appears a bit earlier, often within the first 7 days of life. In most cases, herpes is present at birth, implying that herpes infected the baby inside the womb. There is no known specific method for prevention of womb infection.

Most babies with disseminated herpes have nonspecific symptoms, including apparent sluggishness, going off feeding, and vomiting. An affected baby may become gravely ill very rapidly. Jaundice (yellow skin) is very common in infants. Jaundice may be the result of herpes or it may be caused by many other things. Sometimes a baby with herpes gets pneumonia, has difficulty breathing, or has apnea - spells with no breathing at all. These are serious problems that require intensive investigation in hospital. If the mother has herpes, the pediatrician needs to know in order to consider this possibility.

All of the scenarios discussed above, with the possible exception of skin sores, have nonspecific symptoms. This is the problem. So many things - some infectious, some noninfectious; some very serious, some very minor - show themselves in exactly the same way. Even if your baby gets all of these symptoms, herpes is unlikely. Neonatal herpes is exceedingly unlikely to occur and is highly preventable. Furthermore, if it happens in spite of efforts at prevention, it is treatable. In fact, the problem with treatment is less the difficulty of finding a useful medication and more the delay that often occurs before the diagnosis is made. If the first sign of something serious is nonspecific, it may take days to find the correct diagnosis. The delay makes treatment more difficult. If your infant becomes ill, get medical attention. Herpes can be diagnosed only if it is looked for. Tell your physician about your herpes to make sure he or she considers herpes as a possibility for your baby. You should not attempt to make your own diagnosis for your baby.

Genital Herpes 101

Genital herpes is an incredibly contagious sexually transmitted diseases, one spread through skin-to-skin contact that affects one in five adults in the United States — about 45 million people in all.

Herpes infects as many as one million new patients each year. It is viral in nature, caused by the herpes simplex viruses (HSV) type 1 and type 2. Most genital herpes results from HSV type 2.

Genital Herpes Transmission and Symptoms

The herpes virus infects people by passing through a break in the skin during vaginal, oral sex, or anal sex. These tiny skin breaks are caused by typical levels of friction during sex and are not visible to the naked eye. HSV also can enter the body through the moist membranes of the sexual organs, urinary opening, cervix, or anus. The virus can be transmitted even if the infected person has no blisters, sores, or other visible signs of an outbreak. However, there is no evidence that it can be picked up through contact with a toilet seat, hot tub, or other objects.

Genital herpes can be transmitted to other parts of the body, including the lips, tongue, gums, eyes, and fingers. For example, during oral sex, herpes can pass from the genitals to the mouth, and vice versa. Infection can also occur if a person touches a herpes sore and then rubs or scratches another part of the body.

Many people who are infected with genital herpes show no symptoms most of the time, and may not even be aware they are infected. When symptoms do occur, they vary from mild to severe depending on the person.

Symptoms of a genital herpes outbreak can include:

Blisters on or around the genitals or rectum. When the blisters break, they leave behind tender ulcers that may take two to four weeks to heal.Pain, itching, and burning in the genital area.Vaginal discharge.Flu-like symptoms, including fever, headache, muscle aches, and swollen glands.

The first outbreak usually occurs within two weeks after transmission. After the first outbreak, most people will have four or five more outbreaks within the year. The outbreaks of blisters occur less frequently over time.

HPV and Cervical Cancer

Diagnosing Genital Herpes

Doctors often can diagnose genital herpes by looking for physical signs of an outbreak and using a swab to take a sample from any open sores. Blood tests designed to find herpes antibodies — released by the immune system to fight the virus — can be used to verify infection during times between outbreaks, when the virus is dormant.

Treatment for Genital Herpes

There is no cure for genital herpes. Once infected, patients will have the virus in their bodies for the rest of their lives, regardless of whether they ever experience outbreaks. Prescription drugs are available that can shorten outbreaks, decrease their severity, or keep them from happening at all.

These drugs include:

8 Ways to Prevent HPV

Preventing Genital Herpes

During a herpes outbreak, patients can stay more comfortable and prevent transmission of the virus to other parts of their body or other people by:

Keeping the sores clean and drySteering clear of any contact with the soresWashing their hands after any contact with soresAvoiding any sexual activity until the sores have completely healed

In between outbreaks, the herpes carrier should always practice safe sex to avoid transmitting the virus to other people. The person with herpes should use a condom during sex. Drugs like Valtrex also can decrease the risk of transmission, but they are no substitute for the protection provided by condoms.

The Evolutionary Origins of Herpes: Virus Infected Humans Before They Were Human

Scientists have uncovered the evolutionary origins of human herpes: chimpanzees. (Photo : Flickr)

Scientists have uncovered the evolutionary origins of human herpes: chimpanzees. It turns out that the human herpes simplex virus (HSV) -1 and -2 infected hominids before their evolutionary split from chimps about 6 million years ago and jumped from chimpanzees to our ancient ancestors about 1.6 million years ago.

Like Us on Facebook

About two-thirds of the human population is infected with at least one herpes simplex virus. This virus is commonly presented as cold sores on the mouth or lips or blisters on the genitals. In fact, humans are the only primates that have two herpes simplex viruses.

In order to learn more about the herpes virus, the researchers compared the HSV-1 and HSV-2 gene sequences to the family tree of simplex viruses from eight monkey and ape host species. They used advanced models of molecular evolution to estimate ancient viral divergence times. This allowed them to determine when HSV-1 and HSV-2 were introduced into humans.

"The results help us to better understand how these viruses evolved and found their way into humans," said Joel Wertheim, one of the researchers, in a news release. "Animal disease reservoirs are extremely important for global public health. Understanding where our viruses come from will help guide us in preventing future viruses from making the jump into humans."

In the end, the researchers found that HSV-2 was far more genetically similar to the herpes virus found in chimpanzees. This seemed to indicate that humans must have acquired it from an ancestor of modern chimps about 1.6 million years ago, prior to the rise of modern humans about 200,000 years ago. In contrast, HSV-1 has been present in humans for far longer.

"Comparing virus gene sequences gives us insight into viral pathogens that have been infecting us since before we were humans," said Wertheim in a news release.

The findings are published in the journal Molecular Biology and Evolution.

Cold Sores

(Oral Herpes, Fever Blister)

Cold sores, also known as fever blisters, are caused by a virus. They usually appear around the mouth and on the lips. They are highly contagious but not dangerous.

About 60% of the population have suffered cold sores at some point in their lives. On average, people who get cold sores have 2 or 3 episodes a year, but this figure can vary significantly from person to person.

The virus that causes cold sores is herpes simplex 1, a cousin of herpes simplex 2, which causes the well-known sexual disease. About 80% of the people in North America have dormant (inactive) herpes 1 virus living permanently in their body.

The virus typically resides in a dormant state within the body's nerve cells. The body's immune system is normally able to keep the virus in its inactive state. When an infected person is exposed to a "trigger," or if the immune system is weakened, then the virus quickly multiplies and spreads down the nerve cell and out onto the skin, usually on the lips. This produces the characteristic tingling sensation and subsequent clusters of blisters.

Specific triggers include:

cold weatherfatiguefever, such as from stomach flu or other infectionsmenstrual periodsmental or physical stressphysical irritation of the lips (e.g., following a visit to the dentist)sunlight or sunburn

You can catch the virus if you come into direct contact with the cold sore blisters or the fluid inside them, which contains a high number of the viruses. This can easily happen through touching the hands of someone who has touched their blisters. It can also occur through sharing toothbrushes, cups, cutlery, face cloths, towels, lipstick, or other personal items that have been contaminated with fluid from the blisters. Once the blisters have stopped oozing or have crusted over, the person is no longer contagious.

People who get cold sores may feel some unusual sensations around the lips in the 24 hours before the blisters appear, including tingling, burning, pain, or numbness. This is called a prodrome or warning sign that cold sores will appear at these spots. The skin turns red and blisters form. They ooze a clear liquid for a few days that dries to a yellow crust over a period of about 3 to 5 days. There is usually some pain in the first few days after the cold sores break out, but this often disappears as the cold sore crusts over. Complete healing takes from 10 to 14 days.

The condition typically causes a cluster of lesions or blisters at a site around the lips. Areas other than the lips such as the inside of the mouth, around the nostrils, or even the surface of the eyes, can also be affected. It is possible to spread the virus to other parts of your body if you touch the blisters and then touch yourself elsewhere. Cold sores inside the mouth can be problematic, interfering with talking and eating. If the virus infects the eye, it can damage the surface leading to vision loss. Very rarely, it can get into the brain, causing viral meningitis or encephalitis. The virus that causes cold sores, herpes simplex 1, can also be spread to the genitals during oral sex, leading to genital herpes.

Herpes simplex 1 never goes away completely, so cold sores can return later on if they are triggered again. Most cold sores don't leave scars; however, if an open blister becomes infected with bacteria or the lesions tend to return at the same site, scarring may result. People with weakened immune systems tend to get more cold sores and heal slower.

Herpes Virus Infected Hominids Six Million Years Ago

A new research suggests that humans have been fighting Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) for around six million years.

Herpes Simplex Virus infected early hominids even before their evolutionary split from chimpanzees, a new study by the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine found.

Researchers were looking at the origins of the virus strains that cause herpes and humans. They found that the human herpes simplex virus (HSV) -1 infected hominids some 6 million years ago whereas the HSV 2 virus jumped to humans around 1.6 million years ago.

Herpes Simplex Virus is common in the U.S as well as elsewhere and it causes sores and blisters around mouth or genital areas.

"Humans are the only primates we know of that have two herpes simplex viruses," said Joel O. Wertheim, PhD., assistant research scientist at the UC San Diego AntiViral Research Center and lead author of the study. "We wanted to determine why."

For the study, researchers looked at the genetic sequence of HSV-1 and HSV-2 and compared it with genetic data on the family of simplex viruses from eight monkey and ape host species. Researchers used advanced models of molecular evolution to see when the viruses diverged from each other.

"The results help us to better understand how these viruses evolved and found their way into humans," Wertheim said in a news release "Animal disease reservoirs are extremely important for global public health. Understanding where our viruses come from will help guide us in preventing future viruses from making the jump into humans."

Researchers found that HSV 2 was more genetically similar to the herpes virus found in chimpanzees. The team estimated that humans might have acquired the Herpes virus from an ancient ancestor of chimpanzees some 1.6 million years ago.

The study is published in the Molecular Biology and Evolution and is funded by University of California Laboratory Fees Research Program.

Herpes Shows Up Like a Missionary

Herpes shows up like a missionary -- completely unexpected and completely inconvenient. Like said missionary, herpes stops by to warn how dangerously you lead your life. But, really, you know Goddess sent them here to punish you. That's because when either knocks at your door, you've gotta dump all of your immediate plans and figure out how to get rid of the damn nuisance.

The first hateful bump showed up on a Thursday afternoon; it was a slow day. By 3 p.m. I hadn't even had sex! On a good day I'll have sex at least once. On a great day my penis will be pleasured by three or four men; often at the same time. Only on the worst days am I forced to endure a whole 24 hours with no sexual contact. I hate those days, because they make me feel like an unattractive failure.

In addition to being a failure, I'm also fairly stupid, so that's why I thought the angry red knots were pimples that had migrated south for winter. Within a few hours I realized that two of my favorite activities, bicycling and masturbating, were tediously painful. Every stroke made the intruders angrier, and by Thursday night I realized I wasn't dealing with garden variety pimples. I asked my doctor, WebMD, what was wrong. She was clear and professional: I probably had herpes. And based on the accompanying literature she suggested, I knew what she really wanted to say: And I'm not surprised, you slut.

I was convinced the Goddess I didn't believe in had sent herpes as a punishment. As the hateful bumps hardened and blistered over, now more itchy than painful, I knew I should have listened to those missionaries she sent to me. I should have took pleasure in the divine word of Goddess instead of pleasuring her innocent messengers. I should have learned the lessons of the bible instead of learning how to seduce beautiful, clean-cut boys who show up on my doorstep. I probably required a lifetime of prescribed rituals to overcome my sins, and I was not enthralled by the prospect.

For all these shortcomings, I turned to the Goddess I didn't believe in and prayed. I asked her for forgiveness, as well as relief from this curse. Only hours after my prayer, Goddess sent a dermatologist to a dinner party I was at. Covertly in the bathroom, I pulled down my pants for this guardian angel doctor. He poked and prodded at my hateful sores. Doctor Angel gave me dreadful news: You have ingrown pubic hairs, not herpes.

The Goddess I didn't believe in had sent me a message. She wanted me to change my life, and she wanted me to learn from this little crisis. Goddess took away my sexual privileges for several bumpy days, but I managed to survive without my usual empty intercourse. The true test of life is if you can slow down and enjoy what Goddess sends you -- the good, the bad, and the embarrassing.

Herpes infected humans before they were human

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have identified the evolutionary origins of human herpes simplex virus (HSV) -1 and -2, reporting that the former infected hominids before their evolutionary split from chimpanzees 6 million years ago while the latter jumped from ancient chimpanzees to ancestors of modern humans -- Homo erectus -- approximately 1.6 million years ago.

The findings are published in the June 10 online issue of Molecular Biology and Evolution.

"The results help us to better understand how these viruses evolved and found their way into humans," said Joel O. Wertheim, PhD, assistant research scientist at the UC San Diego AntiViral Research Center and lead author of the study. "Animal disease reservoirs are extremely important for global public health. Understanding where our viruses come from will help guide us in preventing future viruses from making the jump into humans."

Approximately two-thirds of the human population is infected with at least one herpes simplex virus. The viruses are most commonly presented as cold sores on the mouth or lips or blisters on the genitals.

"Humans are the only primates we know of that have two herpes simplex viruses," said Wertheim. "We wanted to determine why."

The researchers compared the HSV-1 and HSV-2 gene sequences to the family tree of simplex viruses from eight monkey and ape host species. Using advanced models of molecular evolution, the scientists were able to more accurately estimate ancient viral divergence times. This approach allowed them to determine when HSV-1 and HSV-2 were introduced into humans with far more precision than standard models that do not account for natural selection over the course of viral evolution.

The genetics of human and primate herpes viruses were examined to assess their similarity. It became clear that HSV-1 has been present in humans far longer than HSV-2, prompting the researchers to further investigate the origins of HSV-2 in humans.

The viral family tree showed that HSV-2 was far more genetically similar to the herpes virus found in chimpanzees. This level of divergence indicated that humans must have acquired HSV-2 from an ancestor of modern chimpanzees about 1.6 million years ago, prior to the rise of modern humans roughly 200,000 years ago.

"Comparing virus gene sequences gives us insight into viral pathogens that have been infecting us since before we were humans," said Wertheim.
