Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I took this awhile back when I first got Herpes from an ex (I am not ashamed to say I have this and really feel there is way too much of a social stigma out there about this virus because it's an STD and oh my goodness...an STD is so bad and you are bad because of it - I'm being sarcastic people :-)) Anyway, I have had "H" as they call it for 5 years now and honestly don't have any outbreaks but that could be because I was taking the "V" (Valacyclovir) to shut down any outbreaks (that's what they call it when you have an attack of "H" coming on). Luckily, aside from the heinous first time when I got "H" I don't have outbreaks but again, I have used V up until about 2 months ago. I saw this online and remembered when I did my research for "H" when I first got it, that this was supposed to knock out any outbreaks. I forgot why I stopped taking it, maybe I got lazy and just wanted to use "V" when I needed to but recently I've been wanting to get my health in better standing. I still have the "V" in my medicine cabinet but don't use it or haven't had to in the past 2 months, since I started using Monolaurin. I MUCH prefer to take something natural then something that is chemically harsh on your body. Word of advice, if you just got "H", please take the "V" for the first few months or at least have it as a back up. If you don't have insurance for "V" then yes, get the Monolaurin as well as Linoleic Acid and lastly, please know that after a while your body will deal with or in a way repress the "H" as long as you keep your health pretty steady (i.e. sleep at least 8 hours, little alcohol or recreational drugs and whole foods (not preservative laden). As for me, I'm sticking with this stuff because, as with Tumeric (which I did a review on as well) it's overall great for my body, not just for my compromised immune system ("H") and I'll take something natural ANY day over something that is chemically based.
