Thank you all for your helpful suggestions. My sore cleared up very rapidy --
in 3 days crusted over and scab fell off. Diet changes to try to speed healing
were: stopped eating all seeds and nuts; added additional vitamin C
supplement; added a supplement by Quantum Health called Super Immune+
Power Formula: 3 capsule serving contains 1,500 mg. Lysine; 200 mg
Astragalus Root and 100mg Olive Leaf Extract. I took 1 capsule 3 or 4 times a
day. Issue is this -- to make sure the virus is really gone, I've continued
taking the capsules even though the cold sore is healed. I've been
experiencing unusual fatigue and nausea -- can this be continued die-off
reaction? I've heard that olive leaf can cause die-off reaction but the amount
I'm taking is so small -- 200 mg. Anyone out there knowledgeable about herbs
know if perhaps there is a synergistic effect with the astragalus and lysine
that makes even a single capsule (1/3 serving) potent in it's anti-viral action?
This AM before exercise I took 1 capsule on empty stomach and about 30
minute later felt nausea, fatigue, achey. Thoughts?
