Do you take lysine? It is an amino acid, completely safe and is very effective in combating the virus that causes cold sores. It works by starving the virus. At the first tingle take very high doses for several days I ususally take 5 - 8,000 mg for a few days then around 4,000 for a few more then 1000 for a couple of weeks.
