Preventing Cold Sores - When You Cannot Afford A Cold Sore
By Denny Bodoh

Preventing cold sores, oral herpes or fever blister outbreaks was at one time thought to be difficult, but now is quite easy. If you will let me, I would like to show you how you can be preventing cold sores within minutes.


Preventing cold sores, oral herpes and fever blisters can be enjoyed simply by taking high-quality nutritional supplements every single day. You may find that this is all you have needed right along.

Hard to believe you say? I know exactly what you mean. If it works so well, why do so many cold sore victims still not know about it? Trust me - many smart people are preventing cold sores everyday with this one method alone.

In just a second I will explain more about how using vitamin pills for preventing cold sores can really work. First, though, we should review what actually causes a cold sore.

Cold sore and fever blister episodes are identical oral herpes sores caused by infection of the herpes simplex virus. About 88% of all people carry the herpes virus and were infected before they were 12 years old.

The herpes virus is - most of the time - in a latent state. It hides deep below the surface in the roots of your facial nerves. Should it sense a drop in your immune defenses, it will move to the surface, replicate and create a new sore.

Our body will create targeted immune soldiers, called anti-bodies, whenever we are invaded by an active virus. Each cold sore outbreak will cause our body to build more fresh anti-bodies targeting the herpes virus.

When the needed nutrients are present, and in the proper quantity, your anti-bodies will put up a powerful defense in preventing cold sores. Without these nutrient building-blocks, your defenses will be weak and re-occurring sores will be the result.

Most of the nutrients needed for preventing cold sores can be obtained from a really good daily nutritional supplement. All the vitamins - A through E - will be helpful against oral herpes. Also, the minerals zinc and calcium are very powerful medicine.

People who get repeated cold sore, fever blister or oral herpes outbreaks are often found to be deficient in calcium. Calcium keeps our bodies from becoming acidic. The herpes virus loves an acidic environment. Get plenty of calcium.

Also, vitamins B and C are known to function as anti-stress vitamins because they help reduce the effects of mental and physical stress. And you must have heard by now that stress is the number one cause of cold sore outbreaks.

The main vitamins for healthy, radiant skin are the oily vitamins E, D and A. Your body can store these longer than B and C. Not only do they help against herpes simplex infections, but the help speed knitting of the skin.

Is it not possible to get all the vitamins we need from a good diet?

Years ago it was possible. Food certainly provides the very best quality, body-ready nutrients. Then our field soils were rich and the fruits and vegetables brimming with vitamins and minerals.

Our fields are becoming more and more depleted of healthy nutrients. Certain nutrients are added back to the soil specifically to make the produce look good in the store. But there is no effort to restore nutrition levels to these foods.

Scientists have shown recently that it would take 59 ounces of spinach today to equal the nutrients in one ounce of 1950 spinach. Tomatoes were found to have only half the nutrients they once did. Our bodies are literally starving.

Researchers have come to the conclusion we are dramatically lacking proper quantities of important nutrients for disease prevention and a strong immune system. The herpes simplex virus, as well as other viruses, are rampant today.

Preventing cold sores requires us to provide our system the nutrients it needs to form powerful antibodies. Organically grown foods are usually much higher in nutrients. But this, too, will not provide the actual quantity your body needs.

A daily vitamin regimen, as many have found, is a simple, powerful way of preventing cold sores. It gives your body the building blocks it needs for a strong immunity against herpes simplex and other viruses.

There are several other tips and tactics you can be using. But taking a good, daily vitamin program is the most important first step in preventing cold sores.
