Herpes Information:
Cold Sores or Fever Blisters are caused by a virus, the Herpes Simplex Virus I (HSV I) and, less commonly, HSV II which normally affects the genital region. Genital Herpes is normally caused by HSV II and less commonly by HSV I. HSV II is considered a Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD).
This Virus hides near your nervous system of the affected area indefinitely and thus a cure for Cold Sores or Genital Herpes has yet to be discovered. Effective treatment of the symptoms is the only relief and protection possible.
During the replication phase of the hibernating virus, HSV moves out of the ganglia and sensitive blisters appear which can last up to 3 weeks. This is when our body reacts to the virus and antibodies are formed.
At the genetic level, the UL52 gene product of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1) comprises of one subunit of a three protein helicase primase complex that is essential for replication of this double stranded DNA Virus. The functions of the individual subunits of the complex are not known with certainty, although it is clear that the UL8 subunit is not required for either helicase or primase activity. Understanding about other Herpes proteins such as Nectin-1 and UL29 provide advancements in Herpes Treatment and demonstrates pharmaceutical prowess regarding the microanalysis of already known herbal answers 7-day pharmaceutical cream.
The likely inhibitory effects of Yang Zhi Herbal Herpes Lip Balm is the function of the Herpes Simplex Virus Helicase Primase Complex which requires multiple gene inhibition and its expression also coincides with physical symptoms such as blister formation. These blisters typically recur at the same location of the lip, face or genital area. The fact that our antibodies that fight HSV cannot enter where the HSV hibernates prior to the replication phase or blister formation phase makes the irradication of HSV unlikely. This is why treatment of Herpes centers around the cure of symptoms and transmission and not the virus.
Therefore claims of a cure from the HSV Virus is simply a waste of your time and money. On the other hand, pharmaceutical companies have identified sites on the above herpes complex that inhibit its function and have made chemical structures that replicate this inhibition. Studies of herbal activities aid pharmaceutical research and their goal is to replicate this activity. Abreva and acyclovir are known pharmaceuticals that have partial viral inhibition at the topical level with some resistence to HSV. Resistence makes the cream not effective after recurring use. The double stranded DNA Herpes Complex is more sophisticated and actually requires multiple genes to be inhibited to shut down the virus and stop symptoms and is similar to the treatment required for the more sophisticated expression of the reverse transcriptase virus or retrovirus, HIV.
A Topical cream for the treatment of the Herpes Simplex Virus is important because it will likely reduce transmission or transfer of Herpes Simplex in the general population which oral preparations cannot offer but is not a substitute for protected sex.
