Faithful Lectroject User

Greetings!

Thank you for developing this product. It may be the best that's available anywhere.

I've been using it faithfully (sometimes daily, sometimes every 2-3 days) since Sept of 2008. I've encouraged several friends to buy it as well.

It DOES work for me, in that it inhibits an HSV-2 outbreak that's already in process. And it also lowers the frequency of outbreaks.

But it has NOT eliminated the virus from my system, even after 14 months of continuous use.

I had chickenpox at 8; shingles at 9; and genital herpes at 10, long before any sexual contact. I do believe the HSV mutated from the herpes zoster.

I am now 61, so I believe that the virus is deeply embedded in my system, so much so that even the LectroJet cannot completely root it out.

I am monogamous and sexually active; my partner tests negative for HSV and thus has no protection . . . and is still freaked out.

Do you have any suggestions for me, please, to rid my system of this virus once and for all?

Thank you!

Acyclovir appears to be losing its effectiveness in the same way as Penicillin. The possibility of viral resistance to acyclovir should be considered in patients who show poor clinical response during therapy.

Unfortunately there is no test to determine whether a virus is resistant to a drug without in vitro laboratory tests. The way most people find out about drug resistance is when the therapy fails.

Newer drugs such as Penciclovir might hold some promise. There have been encouraging reports from the US that penciclovir is much more effective than acyclovir. If you do proof resistant to acyclovir, then the medication of choice is penciclovir (Denavir). Buy some here... http://www.planetdrugsdirect.com/Drugs/Denavir/101139/

We found though, that using Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride with Acyclovir increases the potency. Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride (an antihistamine cream) is marketed as Benadryl, Histador or Caladryl. It's a cream, the side effects is transient drowsiness.

When using antihistamine cream, make sure the formula is Diphenhydramine HCL (Hydrochloride). The important thing to remember is HCL, the positioning of the pads isn't relevant. Do the HCL treatments until you test shows negative and you've not had an outbreak for 6 to 8 weeks.
