Herpes simplex is a viral disease caused by Herpes simplex viruses; both herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV–1) and herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV–2) cause herpes simplex. Infection with the herpes virus is categorized into one of several distinct disorders based on the site of infection. Oral herpes, the visible symptoms of which are colloquially called cold sores, infects the face and mouth. Oral herpes is the most common form of infection. Infection of the genitals, commonly known as herpes, is the second most common form of herpes. Other disorders such as herpetic whitlow, herpes gladiatorum, ocular herpes (keratitis), cerebral herpes infection encephalitis, Mollaret's meningitis, neonatal herpes, and possibly Bell's palsy are all caused by herpes simplex viruses. Most individual disorders may be caused by HSV–1 or HSV–2, though some disorders have significantly different rates of infection by type. Herpes simplex is not typically life-threatening for immunocompetent people.

The L-Lysine powder has really helped. If I stop giving it for a little while, and one of my cats start sneezing, I give all of them the powder once a day. It works within one day, avoiding the costly vet bills I had when they all got very sick a couple of months ago. The vet had recommended it to me and I'm so happy to find this online. I'm now giving the powder routinely to help their immune system and keep the sneezing and runny eyes/nose at bay.

I have a cat who is not a very picky eater and I have had her eat the lysine treats quite readily in the past. I switched to this powder to save money and while she does eat it mostly she will try and leave some at the bottom of her bowl. I'm guessing a pickier cat would not eat it. It does however, work just as well as the treats in controlling her goopy eyes from herpes.

If you are assist-feeding a cat you can mix the powder in the food. If you are pilling a cat you can put a few pills into a gelcap then fill it with lysine powder. Some sprinkle the powder onto their food. My cats however are onto that and will not eat the food.

Found this product by recommendation from a vet, for an older cat with mouth problems. It has helped somewhat with her chewing, and since I have 8 cats, I feed all of them this powder at least 1 time per day. It does seem to help with hairball issues as well.

This works great for sneezing kittens who are not really sick, just show some minor signs of upper resp.

Extremely fast shipping and super low price. Will be shopping here for my pet needs!

The same product offered by my Vet, except w/out the 120% markup! It works, at times you have to be creative in selecting the proper method for delivery; i alternate between mixing it into a few spoons of canned food, chopped ham/turkey, or diluted into a few tablespoons of 1% milk. Great product, great merchant, fantastic turnaround time.

My cat didn't like this gel at all. It is a maple flavor, sounded funny but I thought I'd try it. Worst of all the seller refuses to offer a refund or exchange; I am not pleased with this transaction.

This product is the same as what I got from the vet but a lot cheaper. It was delivered quickly. I'm happy!

My cat needs this is stay healthy. He has herpes that creates 'eye gunk', congestion, and low appetite...and this keeps him from sneezing, and clears him up. His energy level stays normal, and eats more...I dont know what we would do without this stuff.

Our vet suggested trying Lysine, & recommended/sold us this "gel". Well, not one of our 3 cats will take it & they are good eaters. I suggest you either buy lysine at your local health food store & crush it up (make sure you understand how much to give - most suggest 500 mg/day) or try the chewables that people are raving about on Amazon (only complaint it that they are not as soft as expected, but isn't flavor more important? You can easily break them apart according to several reviewers...) I just ordered it & the price is half of what the online vets are charging ($12 as opposed to $25). I've forgotten the name of it (Vita-something?), but google "chewable feline lysine" - it's the one that has 500 mg in 2 chewables. (Avoid the Enisyl chewables - I think 5 chewables = 500 mg, & I sure wouldn't trust their idea of palatable as their gel sure isn't.

My cat has a never-ending eye infection - herpes virus. Allergy season seems to make it even worse. The Lysine really does make a difference and helps me maintain healthy eyes for my kitty. If I had not seen the results, I would not believe. If your cat suffers from watery, gooky, crusty eyes - this is the stuff to make those symptoms manageable and in some cases, nonexistent. My cat does have flare ups, but she will never have it so bad that she cannot open her eyes or sneezing like mad ever again. My order came fast and arrived on the first day listed in the delivery window. That is some awesome service. I will order from you again. Keep up the awesome service!

I use the Ensinyl-F to help treat feline herpes in one of my 3 cats. The product is well liked by my cat and easy to handle in the metered-dose pump. Each pump delivers a 1ml dose. I place it on top of my cat's dry food and he always begs for more. He LOVES it!!

My vet supplied this for my kitten. I've never used any of the earlier versions, but this couldn't be any easier. I pump one dose onto the palm of my hand and she eats it up. If she hears the pop of the cap coming off she runs into the kitchen like it's butter.

The pump is convenient, but this formulation isn't as palatable, according to my cats, as the old, thicker version. Mine won't eat it if I mix it in their food, so I must smear it on their coats and hope I don't find much on the carpet.

Abreva Cold Sore Treatment (2 g) - Available in a Pump or a Tube Abreva Cold Sore Treatment (2 g) - Available in a Pump or a Tube

This product is amazing. It really works. I tried it for the first time several months ago and it worked. Since then, I left in on my first aid box. Two days ago I started to feel a cold sore appearing and I immediately rushed to apply Abreva. I applied it late in the evening and the following day the cold sore was barely noticeable. I continued to apply and the following day it was unnoticeable. I still feel the sore but it wasn't noticeable. This is the best product for cold sores. I highly recommended it.

My 19- year old daughter gets breakouts on her chin and around her lips. One time she also had a cold sore on her bottom lip and when I put the Abbreva on it, I thought "what the heck?" and put it on her face as well. We were astonished to see her acne-like face breakouts disappear within 2 days. I'm guessing that what we had been calling "acne" or "zits" was neither -- it was a virus the whole time causing her face to break out. Now, whenever her face starts to breakout we put Abreva on it and it clears up fast. Who knew?

My experience with abreva is that abreva is certainly worth a pound cure. the first time i tried abreva. my cold sore had already opened. i think abreva help with the irritation and discomfort associated with the cold sore, but i am not certain it improved the healing time. however, i have since use abreva as directed which is at first signs or symptoms of cold sore. for me, i always feel a little tingle and a bump just under the lip. i start applying abreva liberally and often. I actually massage the cold sore area with the medication. so far, i have not had a cold sore to even open on me. yes, there will be some sign of inflamation. Amazing product! no reason to suffer through the discomfort or gross appreance of a cold sore.

Got a cold sore from stress, used this stuff and it went away. It would come back periodically over a month, but I think it's because I didn't apply 5 times a day like the labeled said.

Overall I've had pretty good success with Abreva. I usually use a combination approach when I have a cold sore. Lysine ointment (by Quantum), Abeva, and Campho-Phynique (helps dry it). For the first time, I tried the pump version of Abreva and I think it is a complete scam -- it dispenses enough to cover both lips!!! And there is no way to control how much comes out. I firmly believe that the manufacturer has one sole objective in mind: to use more Abreva and then to buy more. I will never buy the pump again. It also makes me not even want to buy the tube.

I had been looking for Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide for sometime and am glad to have found it on Amazon. The quantity is small for my needs. If you can supply 35% Hydrogen Peroxide, it would be wonderful. I need large quantities of a gallon or more.

Wow! One of the fastest shippers ever, anywhere! Great product. I have been using Food Grade H202 for 20 years or more and always have a hard time finding it locally. I will order from this company forever! Most retail stores won't carry it and won't order it. Well packaged, excellent quality, I can feel the energy :) It's fresh and just as promised. Read about the many uses if you are not familiar with it. Be sure to dilute before using !!!

Great product and very fast shipping. Do some research before using Food Grade Peroxide.

Great service good product. I use it in my humidifier to cut down on bacterial growth.

Service was Awesome...could not believe how quickly I received my order!!! Will order again from this company! Very Happy with product and transaction. Darren Cole

Cold Sores Warts And Herpes Remedy DermaSeptic Skin Cure Cold Sores Warts And Herpes Remedy DermaSeptic Skin Cure

Reviews

It was nice to see this available for less than in the airplane magazines. No chance to try it out yet, and if I never do, that is okay too.

I have used it three times now and love it. It came just in time for me to get over a cold and I get cold sores after them so thanks it works great. Only had to administer it twice before the cold sore was just a flat scab. Gone in three days...

I purchased the dermaseptic and I got ripped off. the silver tab that you apply to the cold sore has to be sanded with an emory board. upon close examination I noticed that my brand new dermaseptic device had been sanded already and the copper metal under the silver tab was visible. I think they sent me a reconditioned device that had been used. it was not new. so, I am not sure if it works or not. It hasn't helped me at all. it was a waste of $100. dont buy this product.

It Work in a while but with no "dramatic results" as the seller claim. Very bad experience in the buying process, because a Item of above 89 USD, I was charged for more 230 USD with shipping rates an they didn't send enough specification of the product, then it caused a very difficult process in customs and extra rates in UPS reaching near 300 USD total cost. Bad service experiencie + no amazing product + extra costs = unsatisfied

Been using the product for about one year now on about 3 occasions on cold sores. I haven't really noticed effectiveness of the device. The only thing it might do is possibly shorten the healing process by a day or so but that's about it. Don't expect any miracles.

Herpes viruses cycle between periods of active disease—presenting as blisters containing infectious virus particles—that last 2–21 days, followed by a remission period, during which the sores disappear. Genital herpes, however, is often asymptomatic, though viral shedding may still occur. After initial infection, the viruses move to sensory nerves, where they reside as life-long, latent viruses. Causes of recurrence are uncertain, though some potential triggers have been identified. Over time episodes of active disease reduce in frequency.

Herpes simplex is most easily transmitted by direct contact with a lesion or the body fluid of an infected individual. Transmission may also occur through skin-to-skin contact during periods of asymptomatic shedding. Barrier protection methods are the most reliable, but not failsafe, method of preventing transmission of herpes. Oral herpes is easily diagnosed if the patient presents with visible sores or ulcers. Early stages of orofacial herpes and genital herpes are harder to diagnose; laboratory testing is usually required. Prevalence of HSV infections varies throughout the world. Poor hygiene, overcrowding, lower socioeconomic status, and birth in an undeveloped country have been identified as risk factors associated with increased HSV-1 childhood infection. Additional studies have identified other risk factors for both types of HSV.

There is currently no cure for herpes; no vaccine is currently available to prevent or eliminate herpes. However, treatments are available to reduce viral reproduction and shedding, prevent the virus from entering the skin, and alleviate the severity of symptomatic episodes.
