cold sore

[Guest guest]

A few years ago I was looking through some patent information and read about a

electrical device that would help in the healing of cold sores.

The device was held in one hand with two protruding electrodes that were

applied across the sore.

It consisted of a 9 volt battery in series with a 330 ohm resistor , the

resistor was suppose to limit the current to avoid burning.

A couple of days later I notice a cold sore starting to develop. I looked

through an old TV that was going to be discarded and found the closest thing to

a 330 ohm and that was a 400 resistor, and connected it in series to a 9 volt

battery and applied the bare wires one on each side of the developing sore,

until it begin to sting and then reversed the wires until it again begin to

sting. A couple of hours I repeated the process.

The lip stayed sore for a couple of days but the blister never developed. If

fact I never have had one in that exact area since.

Before I would usually get one sore a month but after using the device just

one time I now only get 2 to 3 a year.

It is hard to believe the battery with just one application actually killed

some of the virus , but how else could it be explained .

3 days ago I notice a cold sore developing and instead of using a 9 volt

battery I decided to use a 6 volt battery with no resistor, just the bare

wires. I held the wires across the sore until it began to sting and then

reversed, and hour later I repeated the process. Again the sore did not develop

and today my lip is not tender nor is there any redness.

Next time I feel a sore starting I will try a 1.5 volt battery and see if the

results come out the same.

It seems to me that applying the battery leads across the sore the current will

flow between the two points and kill the virus in between.

I have found this procedure works best when the first signs of tingling

develop.

Dear bG, Dick and Louis,

Thank you for your great advice.

I have applied the electrodes as you have suggested bG and Dick. The cold sore

appeared a little more than 48 hours before I used the Godzilla. I used it last

night for

the first time and this morning my cold sore is no longer a bump and is much

better. I

am continuing the use of the Godzilla, however, I am also taking 3,000 mg lysine

per

day and applying lysine cream, so I don't exactly know what is doing what.

Thanks for the help.

After using

microcurrents I have had very few, IF I treat as soon as I realize what that

feeling on my

lip is. Don't make the mistake of thinking it is a pimple and squeezing it.

DON'T! If used

early the blister never develops. If I wait a couple days it does develop and

make a small

sore, but it soon goes away.

always use

a smaller pad on the lip, so I can just put the point of it on the blister to

concentrate the

current. I strip back the insulation on the lamp cord about 4 inches, fold the

wire back

on itself, and cover it with a cloth or layers of kleenex tissue. Wet both

electrodes and

squeeze out. I do very short applications, maybe 5 minutes two or three times a

day.

Finally got my son to use electricity on some cold sores he got after about 3

days bodyboarding at the beach. He LIKES the results really well and after his

first use he is not having to be reminded to use it again. He is doing it on

his own. The report form can't be used for this since I can't tell just when

and how he is using it, but he is definitely getting good results. He really

had a bloused lip when he started and now it is lots better. Sorry about the

lack of precision but it is not avoidable. The best thing is now he will

hopefully be more amenable to further knowledge about all this and further use

of same. Good job!! pj
