What Are Herpies?
Vital Herpies Information You Must Understand
How to Get Rid of Herpies?

Herpies is normally written herpes but I will use both spellings for the purpose of this article. Herpies or herpes is a viral disease caused by a number of different viruses. I will cover only two types of herpies here, herpes 1 and herpes 2 or HSV-1 and HSV-2.

When HSV-1 herpes virus infects the mouth, lips, chin, nose and other parts of the face, it is called oral herpes. Oral herpies causes cold sores. Studies have shown that approximately 70% to 90% of Americans have HSV-1. HSV-1 virus now also accounts for about 30% of genital herpies cases.HSV-1 genital herpies is transmitted during unprotected oral sex.

HSV-2 virus causes infection in the genital area but hardly ever causes oral herpes. Genital herpies is one of the most common sexually transmitted disease. Studies have shown that HSV-2 infections have increased by 32% since the late 1970’s. According to a study, 22% of population in the United States over 12 years of age are infected with HSV-2. This study used accurate type specific blood tests. Only 10% of the people who were found to have herpes were aware of their condition.

Searching for additional information about herpies on the Internet may cause several misconceptions. Herpies, herpies symptoms and herpes refer to the same condition, herpes. Herpes simplex virus or HSV is the medical term that best describes herpies. If you have had herpes like symptoms or blisters in the genital or oral area several times in the same spot, you may have the STD herpes. If that is the case, it is important that you consider seeking medical advice and proper herpes testing. Also if it turns out that your are infected with herpes, you should get a screening for all STDs and inform your partner.

Most people can have very mild herpies symptoms and mistake them as mosquito bites, razor cuts or pimples. What sets herpes apart from these is that it tends to cause symptoms in the same spot each time and form crusts during the healing process.

Oral or genital herpies is commonly transmitted by skin-to-skin contact during a herpies outbreak whether herpies symptoms are visible or not. You may not be aware that you have herpies and transmit it to any new partner you meet. It is actually proven that people who know they have herpies are far less likely to transmit it to their partner.

Herpies may be completely asymptomatic for you but may cause your partner extremely painful symptoms. That's why it is so vital that you become aware of what herpies is and how it is transmitted.

Also people infected with herpes are four times more likely to catch AIDS so if you have herpies you should take all necessary steps to protect yourself and your partner.

There is no scientifically proven herpes cures but I personally know that most healthy people can get rid of herpies for life.

Of course, there are medical treatments. These herpies treatments are not cures but they are supposed to reduce severity and frequency of herpes outbreaks. The three major herpes drugs are acyclovir (Zovirax), famciclovir (Famvir), and valacyclovir (Valtrex). They may be taken in three different medication schedules:

1. First episodic therapy is administered during the initial herpies outbreak to lessen its severity and length.
   
2. Episodic therapy is administered to lessen the severity and duration of recurrent outbreaks. However, episodic therapies have not shown to impact on future recurrence rates.
   
3. Suppressive therapy is proven to reduce future outbreaks by 70%. But this entails taking the drug daily.
   

The marjor drawbacks of herpes medical treatment are that it can cause unpleasant side effects, kidney failure and costs a lot of money.

When first confronted with the disease, I used acyclovir with very little results. I then started using natural remedies like essential oils and immediately experienced shorter herpies symptoms and milder herpies outbreaks. I then interviewed naturopaths, homeopaths and gynecologists and did extensive research with the help of my statistician friend who works for a University research center. I was so pleased with what I found that I decided to share it with the world. I have since given support to countless people and I have gained even more knowledge on the holistic treatment of herpies. I must say I am hundred percent certain to know how to put genital herpes behind with a really affordable and safe method. The best way to cure herpes is to remain symptom free without jeopardizing your life and assets with simple affordable solutions. It is easy.
