I personally could not subject my body to a constant bath of antiviral
meds, just to avoid symptoms of herpes. Paleo should gradually improve your
immune system to a point where cold sores are not a problem, whereas the
long-term effects of Acyclovir and the like might be serious.
Doctors tend to get loose and weird prescribing these sorts of things, what
with sales incentives, free samples, and bogus info from the drug
companies. I'd think twice.
