Choraphor's Claim to eliminate herpes

I have just recently been diagnosed with HSV. I am also travelling in forein country. This means my medication for outbreaks can cost up to $200. I am searching for alternatives to Valtrex. One that sounds promising is a topical creme called Choraphor which claims to eliminate herpies in one application or severly reduce reacurance. Have you heard of any such studies to support this. Is this creme heard of by anyone?

 Herpes, for most people,

 Herpes, for most people, gets better with time. Are you sure that your symptoms are actually herpes rather than yeast or bacterial vaginosis?  Have you been to your gyn? Non-stop outbreaks don't sound like herpes at all. Get a good workup done on it.  Are you using antivirals?  They're really the only thing that helps effectively in spite of a lot of alternative products being on the market.  Check out the more interactive forums at racoon.com/herpes You're not getting answers here.

Wow, now that I see how many

Wow, now that I see how many others are dealing w/the same issue I am, I am even more depressed.
I got diagnosed w/genital herpes 9 yrs ago and think i got it from my ex. Terrified that I gave it to my husband of 13 yrs when he went to the Dr. 5 yrs ago complaining of a rash.  Also terrified that when I gave birth 11 yrs. ago that I gave it to my daughter!!!
This disease is a NIGHTMARE. I had few and far between episodes that I never noticed until Christmas time 2010. Since then it has been NONSTOP. It truely impeeds on your life all around. I'm am devistated to see that there really is no answer to help stop the pain!! Perscriptions are so expensive and do NOTHING. Numbing cream works for a bit, but forget about sexual intercourse w/your spouse!!! I can't emagine begin an old woman dealing w/this!!  I feel the same as many others that I may not make it much longer dealing w/the nonstop pain, and sickness.
My heart goes ou to all of you who also deal with this disease.  It seems to be much too common. I don't really care anymore where I got it, it's too late for that worry, I just worry that I'll live like this forever!!
Sad and scared.

I contratced herpes 25 years

I contratced herpes 25 years ago and suffered from about 2 outbreaks a month. I sceptically tried Chorophor; best thing ever happened to me. It does nothing for the outbreak per se, but the frequency of the outbreaks has been my bonus. I get the odd outbreak between one to two years. I hope it helps you like it did for me! A BIG thank you to the people who put it togther, i hope you have become successful.

homeopathy

I was relatively outbreak free for years but started having outbreaks again a few years ago. I started working with a classical homeopath and have noticed changes in my ob's...they are more frequent but less severe, to the point that I get a little spot without pain or discharge. I am feeling positive about the duration and intensity, but frustrated with the frequency...which I sometimes feel I bring on because I am so fixated on whether an ob is coming on or not. With the way homeopathy works, hopefully the frequency will subside as well as the other symptoms.

i'm in the same boat

had it for 4 yrs. and it's getting worse, not better. i eat well (also mostly organic, take vitamins, and exercise, too). i am taking valtrex preventatively, but it's not preventing anything. it used to work for me, but i now have a child (1/2) and do not get enough sleep or any time to relax. don't know if it is this, or if i have developed resistance to the drug. i just know that i am miserable. i get very sickly (flu-like symptoms) during an o/b. i also don't know how much more i can take. it is impairing my ability to be a good mother as i am just too tired and sick to give my baby the attention she needs. i am also scared of transmitting to my child. i don't even use my fingers to put diaper cream on her, everything is more complicated. when i get out of the shower, she wants to touch my leg (she recently learned the word and is very excited about it) and i can't let her because i get the rash on my thighs now, too. i feel terrible telling her not to touch mommy. it causes more stress worrrying about her getting it,and as we all know, it is quite the vicous cycle.
Karin, i'm sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time, i really relate. and thank you for putting that obnoxious "anti-pill popper" in their place. did your problems become worse after your children?

Fantastic for you!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds fantastic, but please don't assume that everyone has it as easy as you!! I have had this debilitating disease for 9 years know. I used to get outbreaks on average 1 a month. This, however, has not lasted. I am now forced to take antivirals every day as I could no longer cope with the pain of herpes. I get outbreaks of both genital and oral varieties. It also manifests itself as sever head aches and dizzines. My outbreaks pretty much start as soon as one is finished. I am never free of this.

I live in fear everyday of spreading it to my two children, little girls aged one and three. My husband has now after the six years we've been together started getting it on his chin.

Eventhough I take acyclovir twice a day as a preventative I still have more or less continuous outbreaks. The difference is that the pain in my thighs and legs is a bit subdued and that the blisters don't fully blister, but then that could be due to the vectavir cream that I apply. But if antivirals even just reduce the chance of passing herpes to my girls slightly, then I guess it is worth any health side effect.

The problems with my head now are so regular and severe that I am absolutely desperate to find something to help without compromising liver/other organs. Help!!!!!!!!!! Am now considering trying Choraphor, having heared a lot of negative things about dmso, health wise.

So, still think that it is possible for everyone to live with herpes without becoming a pill popper? (I should add that I take vitamins, try not to stress, eat very healty food, mainly organic, take exercise etc.)

I would love to hear from anyone else with sever problems or anyone with advice as to what to do now!

Love, Karin (don't know how much more I can take)
