Preventing Cold Sores - Stops Your Cold Sore Before It Starts

by Denny Bodoh

Preventing cold sores, fever blisters and oral herpes was once unknown, but now is very easy. If you have a minute, I will share this proven way you can be using this minute for preventing cold sores.

Preventing cold sores (same as oral herpes or fever blisters) is as easy as taking a daily top-shelf vitamin and mineral supplement. Quite honestly, many folks find nothing more is needed.

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 a minute you will discover how vitamins work for preventing cold sores. But first it is important to understand the cause of a cold sore.

If you suffer from cold sore, fever blister or oral herpes events, you carry the herpes simplex virus. Nearly 90% of people worldwide are infected with this parasite virus. Most people are infected in their youth, by 11 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.

If the correct nutrients are available, these anti-bodies will be a strong force in preventing cold sores. Without the needed nutrients, the anti-bodies will be weak and ineffective for preventing cold sores.

A top-quality vitamin and mineral supplement will provide most of the nutrients you will need for preventing cold sores. All the vitamins will have a big impact on oral herpes, plus minerals zinc, magnesium and calcium.

If you get multiple cold sore, oral herpes or fever blister events, it is almost a sure thing that your body needs a lot more calcium. Calcium is the main tool your body uses to stay in a healthy alkaline, high oxygen, state. herpes virus cannot get traction if you are alkaline.

Vitamins B and C are water-soluble vitamins that must be replenished each day. They are the main vitamins that help us cope with stress. As you probably have heard - stress is the number one cause of cold sore events.

The oil-based vitamins A, D and E are the most important nutrients for healthy skin. They help repel damage by the herpes simplex virus and repair it quickly when it happens.

You may wonder why we cannot get all these nutrients from food rather than supplements.

Yes, food is where all our vitamins and minerals should come from. They are in a form that our body was designed to use. Years ago our food was abundant and bursting with flavor and nutrition because the farm land was fresh and rich.

Today our soils are very depleted of nutrients. Depleted, also, are the foods we harvest from these fields. The plants may look the same. But they simply do not contain the nutrition they once did.

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 is dependant on giving your body the ingredients it needs to build super antibodies. Eating organic or homegrown food will provide the best QUALITY of nutrients. However, this will not provide the needed QUANTITY.

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.

If you suffer a lot of cold sore events, than give this a try. There are other things you can be doing, but this should be the first method you use for preventing cold sores.
