MY COLD SORE SOLLUTION

So I was just browsing on the BBC site and saw all this info about COLD SORES. This will be brief, and hopefully to the point. I struggled with cold sores for years. I spent many many days and sometimes weeks walking with my eyes to the ground, wearing scarfs to try cover my face, feeling awful and ugly, not socializing, and on and on. I hated the weeks that I had cold sores. Often triggered by changes in weather, stress, and sometimes, no idea why, I was at my wits end. I tried all the expensive drugs, natural products, creams, pills, patches etc.

And then, my friend who is a nutritionist, suggested I take B6. Now, this may have only worked for me, but I took it for a while on a daily basis, which I later read is not good for you, but when I feel like I may be in a situation to get a cold sore, I take B6, as well as use my GREEN BEAVER face cream, and I have not had one in months! I have not had one all winter, and for those who suffer from them, you know winter is the worst time of year.

On top of that, I also tried every single lip cream/gloss/stick you can find. I have to say, I have gone back to my every day CARMEX. It is the only one that actually relieves my chapped lips - with all the flying and hotel air, dry lips are common, and a often can cause a cold sore. It keeps them moist, doesn't have any smelly fruity stench (some do but I buy the regular one), and also, buy the one that you don't have to dip your dirty finger into. 

So, to those suffering, give it a try. Please. I hope it helps you. From my experience, take it in the morning, with food. When I have taken it later in the day I cannot sleep at night.

I really hope this helps someone out there because I know how awful they are.

bbye for now!
