L-lysine is not a suppressive therapy treatment for herpes either. L-lysine does not reduce transmission. L-lysine does not reduce asymptomatic shedding. I would never tell anybody that was trying to protect a partner to do so with L-lysine. I would never suggest that a pregnant woman with herpes about to give birth try L-lysine either. There is NO such thing as a herpes diet. L-lysine is not a herpes treatment. L-lysine is not a suppressive therapy treatment for herpes either. L-lysine does not reduce transmission.

It works best as a preventative measure and shortens the outbreak time for me. Used Famvir & acyclovir for almost 20 years. Read about peanuts and tomatoes encouraging outbreaks and lysine as a preventative measure. For the past 4 years no more drugs and I use lysine when I get a tingle and when I eat peanut butter and tomatoes to prevent an outbreak. I went two years outbreak free when previously it used to be 4-5 x's a year. Now I get outbreaks when I haven't used lysine preventatively by being lazy. I do notice that eating a large amount of peanut butter or tomatoes causes a tingle shorly after. If I ignore it, I get an outbreak. I tried it because even with the medicine, I am embarassed in public for at least a week. I wanted to prevent them altogether. when I follow it, it works! Anything is worth a try dealing with this stuff. I guess Lysine works for some and not others. It works best as a preventative measure and shortens the outbreak time for me.

As for food triggers, some people have them and others do not. I eat chocolate and it doesn't do anything to me. If you are having issues with outbreaks, you might want to discuss suppressive therapy with your doctor. Valtrex, Famvir, and Acyclovir have actually been proven to do something about the herpes virus and there are no adverse side effects either.

The only time my outbreaks would slightly flare up would be when I ate chocolate. (I love my chocolate!) Since I love chocolate, I figured I would start to take l-lysine to suppress my high argenine levels (hence, keeping my hsv underway). So I started taking 1.5 grams daily (.5g 3x daily). I forgot to take the pills maybe two days straight, and in my forgetfulness, I ended up having the WORST outbreak I've ever had in my entire time having hsv. I ended up having 4 sores on my outer labia, and even one on my rectal area! It was extremely uncomfortable! Needless to say, I chucked the whole bottle of L-Lysine in the trash. I'm going to try DGL and tea-tree oil, and see how that works out. But the whole hoopla around L-Lysine is some bull.
