Hi Robert,

 

If there were such a cure I think the scientific and medical communities would be breathing a massive sigh of relief and the press would be all over the case. As it is I'm afraid no such relief is at hand - and is unlikely to come from a mineral for the fighting of a viral infection. Therefore, I think you are absolutely correct to be very cautious of such claims.

im guessing u r a doctor tho. and the biggest thing about finding cures to certain probs are the disease is actually so lucrative to the medical community and to the drug companys that if there truly was a cure how could anyone believe that the doctors or the drug company's would ever admit it. since herpes is a multi billion dollar business for you guys.

Interesting conspiracy theory but, in my view, flawed. First, I'm not a medical doctor, I'm a psychologist. I therefore have no vested interest in pharmaceuticals. I do however know sufficient about virology to feel confident in my original answer .

 

What troubles me about your comment is that you seem to be suggesting that the whole medical profession - across the globe - is complicit in some massive undertaking with drugs companies to hide a known cure (or to keep it under wraps if it is ever discovered)? I'm afraid I simply can't subscribe to such a perspective and neither, I believe, would most other people.

There are two types of HSV, HSV type 1 and 2, and both can cause genital herpes.
