Guest guest Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Herpes has no official " cure " . All standard treatments, and also alternative, complementary, and natural things aim at reduction of severity and/or symptomatic relief. Antivirals can tone down the outbreak. Anti-inflammatories can reduce swelling and pain. Pain relievers block the signals to the brain that are so unpleasant. Most of it is chasing symptoms, since the outbreaks often go away eventually by themselves..and come back mysteriously too. Godzilla devices (see our menu/photos) are aimed instead at a cure. If used so that one electrode is placed on the sore assuming no broken skin, or near it so as to exclude any breaks, and the other electrode placed on the spine where the nerve for the outbreak area inserts, then it should remove the herpes from that nerve..all the way, forever. There are certain properties of DC current that reduce inflammation, and act as an anesthetic also. If used with one electrode on each side of the outbreak, or one on the outbreak the other somewhere other than the nerve's insertion point into the spine, then we'd expect a reduction or removal of herpes from that area temporarily, similar to the way a drug would act, only possibly faster. But there would be more virus in the nucleus of the nerve inside the spinal cord, and along the axon of the nerve. This reservoir can feed more virus down the nerve and into the skin for the next outbreak. Nerves carry electricity. We use that property to get at the virus by intelligent placement of electrodes. This hypothetically could remove the virus forever from a given nerve or area of nerves(unless an exposure occurs to a new outside source). There may be several nerves affected by the virus, so it will need to be done here and there as outbreaks occur. But, I am hypothesizing here, we should not see the exact same area blooming out again. bG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
