Herpes

• Arginine is a known ingredient that may cause the herpes virus to flair up.
• Lysine is a known ingredient that offsets Arginine and may help the herpes virus to not flair up.
• Many foods contain both of these ingredients
• If the ratio of Lysine is higher than Arginine than the Lysine has been known to counter the effect Arginine has on the herpes virus while allowing the Arginine to be beneficial to the body.
• Chocalate, nuts, seeds and many fruits tend to have a higher Arginine to Lysine ratio=encourages herpes
• A high protein low carb diet generally has a higher Lysine to Arginine ratio = discourages herpes.
• It is reported that the lauric acid in coconut will turn to monolaurin within the body. Then maolaurin will destroy the virus membrane and end the life of the virus. Eating coconuts may help with the Virus.
