Herpes and a Good Night's Sleep

     I don't know if you have heard from something called Cafix.  I always go to whole foods and in my quest to find something that tasted a bit like coffee but with no caffeine, I ran into "Cafix".  Cafix taste a bit like coffee, but instead of coffee grains, it is made with chickory, a barley base, fig roots and beet roots.  It is well known in the middle east and its given to children as well.  You can brew it just like coffee and then mix it with hot lowfat milk or soy milk.  I usually like to pour it in a big round cup, so as to make believe I am having a cappuccino or late buy without the foam.  Funny huh? Give it a try and see if you like it.

    On another note, attempting to eat healthy, and taking vitamin supplements should only help.  For example a multivitamin, and aside from that zinc picolinate 50mg a day.  Also Selenium taken by itself daily at 200 mcg daily.  One garlic clove shopped up into tiny little pieces and attempt to swallow bit by bit with water.  Lemon balm tea, it helps one's central nervious system ( its an antiviral, but not the dried up version, but the green leaves.  If you are taking a prescription other than valtrex, famvir or acyclovir eg. an antianxiety med or an antidepressant or anything else it is best to ask the doctor before taking St. John's Wort 300-500 mg standardized.  It affects one's central nervious system and interacts with antianxiety meds.  For example, I take the antianxiety Lexapro so, I can not take St. John's Wort  as per my psychiatrist, but if you don't take anything else other than a suppressive medication for herpes then u should try it.  They also sell the St. John's Wort tea at the health store.
