Can I Become Immune To Cold Sores?
By Denny Bodoh | September 17, 2007
Great news! Cold sores can be prevented with a steady course of good vitamin supplements. Discover how your body can develop super anti-bodies giving you immunity to cold sores. It is happening every day – this cold sore cure – and it can happen for you.
With any virus invasion, your body creates anti-bodies to defend against them. Your need a wide array of nutrients to create strong anti-bodies. These natural chemicals are what we call vitamins and minerals. (There are also many known and unknown phyto-nutrients that come into play.)
Amazing as it may sound, your body is full of various strains of virus besides the cold sore virus. Yes, even the much feared poliovirus. All these viruses are held in check by your immune system and the anti-bodies that are created. Your body has developed IMMUNITY to many of these viruses and they will likely never be a problem for you.
Of the eight known herpes simplex viruses, herpes simplex types 1 and type 2 are the two strains identified as causing both facial cold sores and below-the-waist herpes sores. The other five strains cause such diseases as chicken pox, shingles, and mononucleosis.
Chickenpox can be a terrible disease, especially as an adult. But you seldom see it today because most of us have developed immunity to it.
The virus that causes cold sores is a tiny, sub-microscopic parasite. It must have a host to live and create new virus. The herpes simplex virus will replicate by entering a nerve cell on the surface, and forcing that cell to become a virus production facility. Once the cell has created all the virus it can, the cell is destroyed to release the new herpes.
The herpes virus will mutate and develop immunity to anti-viral prescriptions nearly as quickly as scientists develop them. Acyclovir and similar medicine are becoming less and less effective. There is no way to actually rid your body of any virus – including herpes. The key to success in fighting the cold sore virus is to develop such immunity to it that it cannot surface.
Our bodies were created to take care of themselves. Whenever any virus invades us, our body creates anti-bodies against that particular strain. Every time you get a cold sore, your body creates a fresh batch of anti-bodies to add to the existing army. Our body will create new anti-bodies just as fast as the viruses mutate. If created properly – with sufficient nutrients – these anti-bodies can make you immune to cold sores.
Vaccines, such as the polio vaccine, have been successful in curing many viral diseases. They are not designed to kill the virus directly but to aid the body in creating its own immunity to the virus – anti-bodies and killer cells. This is, by far, the best medicine for today’s many virus threats. With cold sores, especially, you do not need the help of a vaccine. Your body can do it all for you – if you give it the necessary vitamins and minerals.
There was a time, not too many years ago, when you could be reasonably healthy from the nutrients provided by fruits, vegetables and meats. Today, scientists have proven that vegetables and fruits have dramatically less nutrients than even 50 years ago.
Amazing but true – it takes 60 servings of spinach today to equal the nutrition of only one serving in 1948. Maybe that is one reason why there is so much chronic disease today. And why more people are getting cold sore outbreaks than ever before – and more frequently.
I hope this all makes sense to you now. In order for you to truly hope to become immune to cold sores, and prevent many other chronic diseases, you must begin a daily regimen of good vitamin supplementation. By doing so, you will be giving your body the building blocks needed for a strong immune system and for cold sore prevention.
Crazy but True – cold sores can be prevented. Denny Bodoh has an incredible website full of great facts about cold sores and some great cold sore remedies that you must see.
