"With this episodic reactivation, the virus migrates from the ganglia along the sensory nerves to the target site, which results in either an actual outbreak or a shedding without an outbreak or with atypical symptoms, called subclinical shedding.1-3 In fact, the majority of primary infections with HSV-1 and HSV-2 are subclinical. This presents a great difficulty in sexual transmission, because the virus can be transmitted to another, even when you do not know you are infected or have ever been infected. Men are more likely to have asymptomatic HSV-2 infections than women." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Even if you've been fortunate enough never to have an outbreak of genital herpes, you've probably experienced a plain old garden-variety cold sore. And if you have, you've probably gone on the inevitable quest to find something— anything—that will make it go away: licorice root, homeopathic medicines, vitamin megadoses, avoiding the sun, and any technique that reduces stress. They're all good and can help control an outbreak when it happens. But for true prevention you may want to consider some immune-enhancing strategies, and you might especially want to consider lysine." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.) "Stress can actually bring on an outbreak, and it can certainly make an existing one worse. Reducing stress is one of the best things you can do for yourself if you want to keep outbreaks to a minimum. And while we're talking about prevention, keep in mind that using lysine as a preventive measure against cold sores without strengthening the overall immune system is a little like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. The stronger your immune system, the less chance that the herpes virus will reemerge to wreak havoc on your social life." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"Ten days ago health chiefs warned parents that Britain could face a measles outbreak unless more had their children vaccinated with MMR. Professor Wakefield said, however, that if an outbreak were to erupt it would be the fault of the health department, which had "failed to address the safety issues." The doctor and his colleagues are testing the hypothesis that the measles virus from the vaccine can lodge in the gut of susceptible children, damaging the bowel and causing autism, and that the addition of the mumps virus makes that more likely." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"The first indication of a herpes zoster outbreak is excessive sensitivity in the affected area of skin, soon followed by pain, and then (after about five days) a rash, which may leave scars after crusting. People who have herpes zoster should see a doctor immediately. Additional recommendations include reducing dietary toxicity, reducing emorional and environmental stress, and using enzymes to provide optimum support of the immune and digestive systems, balance pH levels, and reduce inflammation and pain during the outbreak of the rash." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"Morimoto's "candies and chocolate" contained citrus canker, a disease that could cost California up to 890 million dollars in the event of an outbreak. A medfly plague would be even worse: if Mediterranean fruit flies were to take hold in California and continental America, it is estimated that they would cause 1.5 billion dollars in damages annually. No wonder border guards are so stringent about screening fruits. Periodic infestations of medflies cripple harvests, forcing growers to shut down production as inspectors seek to eliminate the insects." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Rufus of Ephesus describes a local outbreak of what sounds a great deal like bubonic plague, also in the first century. The two greatest episodes of disease during late antiquity, however, were the fifteen-year-long Antonine Plague brought to the Mediterranean in 165 c.e. by legionaires of Marcus Aurelius who had been warring in Mesopotamia, and the so-called Plague of Cyprian of 251?66, named for rhe Bishop of Carthage." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"Just over thirty years ago, in 1976, the Centers for Disease Control investigated and confirmed that a severe influenza outbreak at Fort Dix, New Jersey, had been caused by the "swine flu"—an influenza A-type virus. The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare grew concerned that the United States might be about to see another large national flu pandemic, involving numbers of influenza deaths reminiscent of the flu pandemic of 1918. The federal government deemed it prudent to vaccinate all Americans. In October 1976, the National Influenza Immunization Program officially began." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"FACT: Vaccinations, on the other hand, can sometimes cause an outbreak of the actual inoculated disease later. FACT: Vaccinations can suppress the immune systems and make the person weaker to other diseases. 142 Tim O'Shea, The Sanctity of Human Blood, Vaccination is not Immunization, (North Woods, 2003), p. 62 143 See http://wvvrw.med-library.net/content/view/319/41/ FACT: Flue vaccine often does not work on an amazing amount of people. Yet health officials promote flu vaccinations.144 FACT: Vaccinations can cause bacteria and viruses to mutate to become resistant." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"One of the strongest proponenrs for a volcanic source for the various dust veils is climatologist Richard Stothers from the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, who has mapped each major plague outbreak to a particular volcanic eruption and accompanying broadcast of sulfur dioxide, which turns into sulfuric acid when combined with water. According to this scenario, water vapor in the air thus turns the gas into sunshine-blocking particles of acid, which, once in the jet stream, can be spread across the entire globe in a matter of days." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.) "Bury observed eighty years ago, "there existed a sufficient cause, unconnected with the Romans, to induce his return to Persia, namely the outbreak of the Plague."40 Modern scholars have traced the path of the plague east by careful readings of everything from gravesites to notarized wills. After Pelusium, as reporred by John of Ephesus, the disease next arrived in the Mediterranean coastal city of Gaza in the last quarter of 541." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.) "The most significant difference between this outbreak and its predecessor of 542 was that all the eyewitness accounts note that this plague had a powerful affinity for the young, who bore "the heaviest toll" according to both Agathias and John Malalas. The reason is a simple one: Even a bacterium as formidable as Y. pestis can be frusrrated by a prepared immune system. Like every pathogen, its life is a race to establish itself within a targer organism before the organism's immune system can design killer T-cells to destroy it." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"Immunocompromise or overuse of antibiotics can cause an outbreak of Candida. Aspergillosis, cryptococcosis, and the other fungal infections occur in immunocompromised individuals, like patients with HIV, in whom they may be life threatening, and therefore are beyond the scope of this book. Antifungals used to treat aspergillosis, blastomycosis, candidiasis, cryptococcosis, and histoplasmosis are polyene drugs, like amphotericin B, gris-eofulvin, and nystatin, which bind themselves to membrane sterols in fungal cell membranes, causing cell death." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"Besides, children mature at different rates, and their personalities, temperaments, and energy levels vary considerably, so it can be hard for parents to distinguish an outbreak of the so-called terrible twos from a sign of a more serious underlying problem. Moreover, even if they suspect a behavioral disorder, parents often hope their child will "outgrow" it before preschool or kindergarten. I have 19 watched families resist change and remain in denial for a long time. I try very hard to shorten this period of denial. One family I had the pleasure of helping comes to mind." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"In addition, the United States, like the United Kingdom, stopped using solvents as a regular part of the rendering process, which some scientists theorize could be related to the BSE outbreak in the United Kingdom. According to a report from the BSE Inquiry, "By 1970, most of the solvent extraction plants in the U.S. had blown up, burned down, or closed for safety."12 Basically, the United States was left wide open for a BSE outbreak. By 1985, renderers were still rendering sheep heads, solvents were no longer a part of U.S. rendering, and very few cattle were being tested for BSE." - Ann N. Martin, Food Pets Die For: Shocking Facts About Pet Food (Get the book.)

"Like the small contained "Avian flu" outbreaks occurring in China in 2004 and 2005, a small, contained "swine flu" outbreak (which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] investigated and confirmed had been caused by a swine-type influenza A virus) occurred in the U.S. in February of 1976 at Fort Dix in New Jersey. Like the current "sky is falling" reaction, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, as well as numerous medical experts, became concerned that a major flu epidemic was imminent for the coming fall." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"Additional recommendations include reducing dietary toxicity, reducing emorional and environmental stress, and using enzymes to provide optimum support of the immune and digestive systems, balance pH levels, and reduce inflammation and pain during the outbreak of the rash." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), which fills the outbreak gap in federal oversight by tracking episodes of illnesses that occur in groups of people who ate the same food, says that seafood accounts for 20 percent of all such incidents. CSPI counted 899 outbreaks caused by seafood from 1990 to 2003, and these affected more than 9,000 people. The FDA's estimates of cases are 100 times higher—up to 60,000 a year." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.)

"This limits the discomfort and swelling and can keep an outbreak from fully erupting. • Apply lemon balm ointment several times per day. • Apply licorice gel (glycyrrhetinic acid) twice per day. • Lysine: 1,000 mg 3 times per day • Vitamin C: 600-800 mg with 600-800 mg bioflavonoids 3 times per day • Zinc: 25 mg per day Prevention • Follow a diet that is high in lysine foods (vegetables, beans, fish, turkey, and chicken) and avoid foods high in arginine (chocolate, all nuts and seeds). • Lysine: 1,000 mg per day • Safe sex protection sules or a topical lotion." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "It is important that patients also understand that the primary infection may have been asymptomatic and that even an initial outbreak may be a reactivation of an infection acquired months or even years previously. OVERVIEW OF ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS A susceptible host plus exposure to the herpes simplex virus add up to acquiring the disease. Improving the health of the host and enhancement of the immune system is essential in preventing and controlling herpes." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"One preliminary study treated people (four of whom had genital herpes) with a 4% zinc sulfate solution applied to the site of the initial outbreak.9 In all cases, the pain, burning, and tingling stopped within 24 hours of beginning the topical zinc therapy. The use of lower concentrations of zinc (0.025-0.05%) has also been shown effective against oral and genital herpes outbreaks.10,11 While topical zinc has been shown to be helpful, there is no convincing evidence that oral zinc offers the same benefits." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D. Rick Chester, RPh., N.D., DipLAc. George Constantine, R.Ph., Ph.D. Linnea D.

"They're all good and can help control an outbreak when it happens. But for true prevention you may want to consider some immune-enhancing strategies, and you might especially want to consider lysine. Enter the Herpes Slayer Lysine, an amino acid, has had a reputation as a first-line defense against herpes for a long time. Back in 1978, a multicenter study of lysine therapy in herpes simplex infection was published in the journal Dermatologica; the authors found that lysine "appears to suppress the clinical manifestations of the herpes virus." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.) "Questionable Safety Concerns You used to be able to buy L-tryptophan as a separate nutritional supplement, but the Food and Drug Administration—in what I still believe to be an incredible act of bureaucratic stupidity— took it off the market around 1990 after an outbreak of eosinophilia myalgia syndrome (EMS), which was linked to the use of tryptophan. EMS is a dangerous and potentially deadly blood disease that is usually associated with parasitic infections or severe allergy." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"In Weizsacker's words: A situation is given, a trend develops, tension increases, a crisis comes to a head, there follows an outbreak of illness and with that, after that, the decision is made: a new situation is created and settles down; the profits and losses [from before] can now be disregarded. The whole functions like an historical unit: turning point, critical disruption, transformation." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"Such was the case, for example, in 1989 with an outbreak of eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome (EMS), an autoimmune cluster epidemic that caused severe fatigue, muscle pain, and weakness to the point that patients were rendered unable to function. EMS affected thousands of individuals around the world after a manufacturer made a minuscule change in the manufacturing of an amino acid food supplement, L-tryptophan." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"You need only think back to your high school prom or even a recent job interview that was marred by an outbreak of red bumps to know how inconvenient bad skin can be. First-Line Treatments Antibiotics and topical creams are usually the first defense dermatologists recommend in fighting acne. Antibiotics (all of which must be obtained by prescription) include drugs in the tetracycline class of antibiotics, including tetracycline (Achromycin), doxycycline (Vibra tabs), demeclocycline (Declomycin), and minocycline (Minocin)." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"Cleave's book synthesized and tabulated the cross-cultural studies and showed that the introduction of refined carbohydrate into the cultures with a previously low incidence of diabetes saw an outbreak of diabetes within twenty years. This indicates that the main dietary cause of diabetes is processed sugar. In my clinical experience, as in Dr. Esselstyn's discussion of the importance of avoiding oils for those with advanced heart disease, I have found that even moderate- to high-glycemic fruits in the diet raise the blood glucose levels of those with pre-diabetes and diabetes." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"It might also stimulate an outbreak, in which case you could take lysine, an antagonistic amino acid. L-arginine might also make migraines worse because of the arterial dilation effect. Phosphatidylcholine (Essential Phospholipids) Cellular membranes function as the interface between the machinery inside of cells and the extracellular fluid that bathes all cells. If all is well, the two-way traffic through the membranes involves nutrients entering to sustain the activities inside while waste products exit. Fats (lipids) and proteins make up the cell membranes." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"It gets to the bottom of mental and emotional issues that can provoke an outbreak of the disorder. • Minty Massage M assaging your abdomen with peppermint oil feels refreshing and can help ease intestinal discomfort. Add 10 drops of peppermint essential oil to one ounce of almond oil, then place one-half to one teaspoonful of the oil mixture onto the abdomen and massage in a clockwise direction. Repeat two or three times daily." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)
