Cold Sore Treatment

I remember back a few years ago I was at the local supermarket trying to find a good cold sore treatment. I was talking to the pharmacist to see if there was any particular brand name that he recommended. We went over the benefits of each brand and he pointed out the medical ingredients, but it was all Greek to me. I had no clue what he was talking about, but I didn't care because I really needed something.

I was tired of getting cold sores. I hated the feeling of having it on my face. I always felt that everyone was starring at it, like they were wondering how I can go out in public with this blistering disgusting thing on my face. I know it was silly to think this, but this is how I felt.

I wanted to get rid of it and for good. At the time I was really naive as to what cold sores were. I didn't realize they were a form of herpes and that there were no cure for it. I just assumed it was like everything else and I could get a cream or pill and it'll be gone for good.

Anyways, I ended up buying the cream that the pharmacist recommended and gave it a try. After a few days, the cold sore was gone. I was happy to have finally gotten rid of it and now I could get back to my regular routine. A few more days past and everything was good, no signs of the cold sore returning.

That was until the next morning. I knew something was up when I could feel my lip tingling again. I knew it was the beginning signs of another outbreak. I thought to myself that there must be a way to either get rid of these God forsaken things once and for all and decided to jump on Google to see what I can find.

For the next couple hours, I searched Google far and wide and found a lot of useful information about cold sores. I even created a page on Squidoo (cold sore treatment) that goes into a little more details on what I learned. What I learned from my research is that cold sores are herpes. They're different then the genital herpes that you hear about most of the time. They are called HSV-1 or Herpes Simplex 1 and just like their genital counterparts, they cannot be cured.

This was a little disappointing. Heck who wouldn't be disappointed to learn that they have "herpes of the face". That even sounds terrible.

So after finding out there is no cure for cold sores, I decided to look for a better way to manage them. If I could lower the number and severity of the outbreaks, I could feel much better living with the fact I have an incurable disease.

That's when I came across this book called "Cold Sore Freedom in 3 Days". I read over the site and thought to myself that it'll never work, but I gave it the benefit of doubt and bought it anyways. Well actually, it was the fact that it has a 100% money back guarantee that I bought it because I figured if it was junk I could just get my money back, right?

I must admit that I was impressed by the book. Just like Beth Colter, I was very skeptical that this could work, but I gave it a try anyways and you know what, my cold sore was gone in just a couple days. Months went by and the cold sore didn't return. I was amazed.

Now I'm happy living with cold sores because I know, thanks to this book, that I will rarely have them and when I do they will be gone within a couple days. It is truly a wonderful feeling.

If you're someone who suffers from this like I did and cannot find a cold sore treatment that you're happy with, then check out this book. Once again it's called Cold Sore Freedom in 3 Days.

Take care,

Patty
