Is HSV able to be cured?

Health professionals will tell you that herpes simplex is not curable. However some people have managed to eradicate all signs of herpes in their organism, to the point where medical testing shows no sign of the HSV infection, over a long period, and they no longer have any active infection.

Herpes is passed on sexuallyand caused by the herpes simplex virus, either HSV-1 or HSV-2. It is estimated to be present in 50 to 80 percent of adult Americans. The majority of these people are don't know they are infected.

Before we go into the controversial question of a cure first we have to take a look at the hsv virus and its mechanism. Although healthy skin is fairly resistant to infection with HSV, the virus can enter the body through damaged skin – or more commonly, through damaged tissue in the fragile mucosa of the mouth or genitals.

The virus then invades the tissue cells and reproduces itself. Eventually the cell wall breaks, making the sores indicative of herpes breakouts, and releases the HSV virus into the tissues. After the first herpes attack, the virus then lodges in the axons of the nerve cells leading from the spinal cord to the surface of your body. At this point, it gets to be virtually impossible to get rid of, because anti-viral drugs can't enter the nerve axons.

Therefore to eliminate herpes reliably, some method of attacking the hsv virus in the nerve cells is needed.

We know there are agents that can do this, but medical science denies it. But where do they get their information from?

Almost all of it from the big pharmaceutical companies which have a vested interest in not truly curing diseases like HSV because these companies are doing too well by promoting ongoing treatment that just manages symptoms.

It may seem paranoid, but think about it. Why would a drug company spend their resources developing a medication that is going to reduce its revenue?

Is herpes simplex able to be cured?

One substance that demonstrates a lot of potential in treating herpes – and being able to penetrate tissues much more comprehensively than most drugs or supplements – is Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO).

DMSO is a unique organic chemical that has been known as an excellent solvent with many uses since the 1950s. DMSO was used purely as an industrial solvent until its medical properties were discovered in 1963 by a medical research team led by Stanley Jacobs MD.

DMSO has some unique chemical properties that allow it to penetrate living tissue without harm. sulphur compounds are necessary for life and sulphur compounds are required for many critical life processes in a living body, such as neutralization of drugs and heavy metals, and removal of free radicals.

When processed for medical purposes DMSO is absolutely safe, though the unpurified form of DMSO, which contains traces of acetone and other harmful chemicals, should not be used on the body.

As a very effective carrier, it can bind with drugs such as antibiotics and anti-inflammatories and bring them across the skin or mucous membranes to where they are needed. DMSO has been found to eliminate pain, reduce swelling, and increase blood flow to the tissues. One of the most well accepted uses for DMSO is to eliminate pain and swelling in arthritis conditions, and it's used extensively for veterinary purposes for this.
