That's great because we can all benefit from anything that you learn , since you have great posts.  I read his book and I highly recommend it.  I was just browsing on Amazon.com trying to find homeopathic/natural ways in addition to the valtrex I take to manage my genital herpes and his ways sound excellent.  I would have gone all the way homeopathic had I not developed "post-herpetic neuralgia" ( I am sure you know a lot about that "nerve pain/damaged nerves/nerves atrophied"). I am still in treatment for it. I developed it after my initial outbrake and its been 2 months since was diagnosed with it and I am on pain management with "Lyrica"now. The very first outbrake was on Sept 17th 2008 and it was a task to finally get diagnosed with "Post Herpetic Neuralgia" two months after the initial outbrake.  You know, right after the outbrake I developed a yeast infection, a bacterial infection and a genitalia dermititis outside, and was quite confused as to what I was experiencing.  The usual yeast meds don't work for me.  Only Nyastatin work ( 14 days vaginal inserts).  Anyways, after all of it was healed, I remained with Nerve pain and since I go to a specialist who deals with vulvodynia cases; he was able to figure out what what happening to me after all was said and done.  Thankfully, he was able to tell me and diagnosed me, so I was better able to get treatment.  Since I can't really afford to get herpes blisters in my genitalia due to the nerve pain remaining, I take valtrex everyday, but I also enjoy learning about how to make the environment in the vagina alkaline, so I have researched a lot since being diagnosed about natural remedies that keep herpes dormant ( antiviral natural dark grapes juice, beet juice mixed in with something else like apples, dandelion juice, tons of unsweetened plain yogurt, garlic and foods with zinc).  I ve learned a lot from Scipio.  If I did not have Neuralgia, I would have adopted Scipio's homeopathic approach all of the way, but I am too scared to only rely on natural remedies due to this very serious nerve pain.  Anyways, If you want to exchange any more ideas ( I know you are an expert, and I love to learn from those who know more than me) please let me know. I thought your post on differentiating between a yeast infection vs. a herpes outbrake was excellent. Since I suffer from yeast infections too, I try to eat the correct things to make sure my yeast is under control too ( I take refrigerated acidophillus, tons of plain yogurt, and an Alkaline mixture with licorice roots etc... by Matol to regulate my PH balance down there.  Along with a multi-gyn cleanser made in greece with tea tree and aloe vera. Its recommended during menstruation, after pool activities and in cases of mycosis and yeast infections. I really appreciate your posts.
