Home Remedies for Cold Sores using

This is one of the most effective and natural home remedies for cold sores. First a small explanation

The underlying cause of cold sores is the Herpes Simplex virus and two amino acids in your body called arginine and lysine control the outbreak of cold sores. Arginine helps the herpes simplex virus to grow and to reproduce in your system, while lysine holds this back

Your body produces lysine itself but not enough so you also have to get it from a normal healthy diet

To fight the outbreak it seems very logical to help and raise the lysine level in your system. You can take lysine pills as prevention but when you feel a cold sore outbreak coming take 1500mg to 3000mg of lysine per day. The dosage depends largely on your weight. If you're not sure ask your doctor about the dosage

Since we know first hand what kind of impact cold sores can have on your life, we decided to go the extra mile

We searched around and spoke to many colleagues and natural remedy experts and finally concluded that we should join forces with our colleague Dr. Derek Shepton

Dr. Shepton is a health researcher, natural remedies expert and a doctor by profession who is specialized in alternative medicine and a very good friend of ours

He prescribed and used all kinds of cold sore medicines and remedies on his patients, and with non of them he was completely satisfied. Most medication only gave temporary relief and were expensive as well

One day however he got so fed up with this situation that he swore to find a natural solution that could fight this problem from the root. He started to do some serious research on the subject

He began with the natural home remedies for cold sores he already knew and worked his way out from there. He did some discoveries, came to new insights, and then perfected, adjusted and added these new concepts and ideas. It took him a while, but in the end he found a home remedy for cold sores that had stunning results on most of his patients

He called it: Cold Sore Free Forever

After some initial doubts (first we want to see results) we decided to give it a try as well, and were truly amazed by the results we were getting from his discoveries. They were so simple sometimes, yet never tried before

But now it's here and we can only say that if you are suffering from cold sores you HAVE to try this. Your cold sore days are over, it's absolute AMAZING

We convinced him to keep the price relatively low, at least for a while. And we also got him to throw in 7 or so bonuses in the form of very useful and helpful e-books on nutrition. These e-books alone are worth way more than the price for the whole package. But we insisted since we think people should get their money's worth, especially in these economically stressed days

Now if you're still not yet convinced we urge you to take a closer look at his site coldsorefreeforever.com it is definitely worth the effort

Also remember that he has a 60 day, 100% money back guarantee, so if it doesn't work for you, you will get a full refund
