L-Lysine (lysine) "One day after starting the l lysine, I have horribly swollen lymph nodes on my underarms. It's been 3 days and they are still painful and swollen. I did have smoothies each a.m with mango and yogurt which I read are high in lysine as well. I am stopping use due to this reaction."

"I used to get cold sores about every two to three months. The receptionist at the dermatologist office (not the dermatologist) told me that lysine stopped her husband's cold sores and insisted I try it. Not having much faith in supplements, but out of desperation, I started taking it daily. It completely stopped them from occurring. I was surprised and happy. I took lysine for about a year or two and then stopped. The effect lasted for about 9 months to a year and now I get an occasional one, which I try to treat with topical lysine. I believe all our bodies are different. What works for one person may not work for another."

"64 years old, have occasionally had cold sore on the right corner of my mouth, once on my right nostril, my wife has had it since she's a child, also on her lips, neither one of us gets it on our genitals. Starting to take L-Lysine 1000mg a day and have still had a few outbreaks but they have been less severe, when they occur I am also taking a prescription of Valtrex. When I have the outbreak I am increasing the L-Lysine dose to 1000mg in the morning and the same at night. One of the side effects is good skin! I had a few bumps on my face that seem to be clearing up or going away. I wish I would have known about L-Lysine when I was a kid because it could be good for acne."

"I started taking 1000 mg daily 9 months ago due to occassional outbreaks and have not had once since until today. I took a collagen supplement that warned an outbreak could occur. I am going to take 3 today and hopefully it wil suppress it."

L-Lysine (lysine) "I have IBS with alternating diarrhea and constipation. I tried L-Lysine a few months ago but thought it increased diarrhea and abdominal cramps. Continuing to break out I tried the Lysine again, routinely twice daily. Unfortunately, the diarrhea and abdominal cramps have returned and I'm stopping the Lysine immediately."

"A new study about genital herpes transmission has recently been published. We are not quite sure whether it can help find a cure for herpes but it does show some interesting perspective. Bacteria in Vagina Can Affect Genital Herpes Transmission The study suggests that healthy vaginal microflora may protect women from getting infected with genital herpes. The study has been led by a doctoral student at the University of Texas Medical The experiment that was carried out in the laboratory compared various cultures that normally live in the vagina. Researchers found that the herpes simplex virus type-2 (genital herpes) replicated more in cultures that contained less Lactobacillus (were less healthy). "

"Been taking lysine for 2 years. Noticed an increase in outbreaks (HSV2). Symptoms and itchiness were lasting a lot longer. Currently having an outbreak. Not using lysine this time and I don’t even notice I’m having an outbreak until I look at it and safely apply aquaphor to the affected area. Aquaphor is a way better home remedy."

"just got diagnosed with HSV1, and reading this actually made me feel like crawling and crying like a baby. The outbreak I have right now is genital and in my throat and mouth, I talked to the doctor who did the blood test on me and said over time that it would eventually get much better. She said that what I%u2019m having is a massive outbreak and is unusual, but that it may be due to the fact that I stressed myself out over it so much. She also told me even though I have it in the genital area that It doesn't mean that I needed %u201Cprivate to private%u201D contact to acquire it. But this did make me feel a whole lot better about the whole situation."

"Having had the Herpesvirus all my life. Its a viral nightmare. Most people experience it in their their lips. I'm one of the few (lucky ones) that experiences it in both ways, in my lips and my eyes. Its not nice.....but people need to understand the causation. Late nights. STRESS (unconscious stress), poor diet/ too much booze. For the "lucky" ones who experience it in their eyes ...I would say STRESS, STRESS, STRESS. is It again. No real tricks involved but when you get them, you kinda know why. Tiredness, Poor nutrition, and Stress. Wouldn't find it funny..... but I can not catch any other illness....Flu,Cold, Man flue. Has to be a immunity thing. Lysine.... I think could solve it. Regards S"

"My dentist told me about this and the second I felt the oncoming of a cold sore I started taking 1000mg of l-lysine. It did not get anywhere near as bad as they usually do and was healed up rather quickly. I will always have it as my go to."

"Works incredibly well as prevention with 1g per day for oral herpes, then during occasional (and I mean years between last and current) up to 4g, and it disappears inside of a week. I managed to transfer my cold sore the genital area and IT doesn't work as well there, but still aids an outbreak that can often take weeks to disperse. Get the bulk powder, instead of tablets. The cost is greatly reduced, and you need only mix it with a splash of juice to drink it."

"I took this first day of outbreak along with Coconut Supplement, Green superfoods Powder from GNC. My outbreak immediately began to heal. Increase the healing time by 50%. I also used a Cool Setting on blow dryer on the sore on my face to dry out the pus. Did this about 2 minutes 5 times a day to help make the sore heal faster. Not recommended to put anything directly on the store because it will just irritate it more. Better to win the battle from the inside."

"I have had 4-6 outbreaks a year with cold sores since age 3. Noted in old school and family photos. The invention of Valtrex was great for about 10 years then nothing! Didn't matter if used brand name or generic. Increased the lysine as a preventive to 1000 mg per day. Take extra if eat arginine foods like chocolate/peanut butter. Eventually started Gigartina species of red algae. Superb. IF I get a sore, it is miniscule single bump. Take it hours apart from the lysine to not interfere. The Gigartina works like the Valtrex used to. It is much cheaper than Valtrex and no resistance (yet). Can find better price and pure product with search. Take 1-2 extra when feel outbreak, just like lysine."

"Natural herbs have cured so many illness that drugs and injection cant cure. I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. I read people's testimonies online on how they were cured of herpes, HIV, diabetics etc by Dr. Ogba Kosu herbal medicine, so i decided to contact the doctor because i know nature has the power to heal anything. I was diagnosed with HIV for the past 7 years but Dr. Ogba Kuso cured me with his herbs and i referred my aunt and her husband to him immediately because they were both suffering from herpes and they were cured too. I know is hard to believe but am a living testimony. There is no harm trying herbs. He is also a spell caster, he cast spells to restore broken marriages and a good luck spells to prosper and excel in life.

"After freezing warts it got worse, so I took my chance. I have genital herpes that my unfaithful boyfriend gave to me. Lysine helped cure the outbreak in a week. My advice is never be without it. Buy with green tea mask for my vagina and use witch hazel. My dermalogist prescribed imiquimod and I didn't use it because of bad reviews. So my advice is: 1.buy lysine pills 2. Greentea saint ives scrub 3.witchhazel astringent. 4. keep faith and never give up. This help edme I've cried to the point my boyfriend thought it was me that gave it to him. And you can crush lysine pills and put in cream and rub on vagina."

"Been suffering from HSV1 all my life (I'm 32), and I used to have outbreaks around 6 times a year, with medium/large painful blisters across the mouth, which usually lasted 5-10 days. In the last 2 years, I've started taking 3g lysine + 400mg oral acyclovir during outbreaks, and my flares dropped to 3 days duration. Since 8 months before I've been taking 1G lysine daily and I've had absolutely no outbreaks in that period. No type of cream or herbal treatment worked for me. But during the last few years, I realized that consuming foods rich in Arginine triggers my flare. So I believe my HSV has something to do with lysine x arginine. Stay strong!"

"I have genital hsv 1, i saw really good reviews on lysine, even though I hadn’t had an outbreak in 16-18 months I decided to give lysine a go in hopes of suppressing it further, but a week after starting it I got an outbreak I think if I didn’t take lysine I wouldn’t of had an outbreak, I don’t recommend this supplement for herpes at all!!"

"I got my first cold sore around 13 years old and Haven’t suffered from bad cold sores and canker sores until this year 2021 I was hopeless and even had to go to the emergency room IDK if my braces caused them or I had fever in case but my throat was very itchy due to high fever and blisters and ever since I started taking lysine I have not got one blister ! And no canker sores I was really depressed and this pill changed my life I drink one every morning and never forget ! I’ll probably keep drinking these until I get my braces off :) thank you lysine"
