5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful and thorough source for alternative therapies, September 16, 2003

This review is from: Controlling Herpes Naturally: A Holistic Approach to Prevention and Treatment (Paperback)

This book lives up to its title of taking a "holistic approach" as it promotes a dozen or more alternative therapies to prevent and heal outbreaks.

When this book was published there was very little scientific research available on specific treatments for herpes except for one drug, so I didn't expect to find much in the way of research study citations to support the validity of most of the alternative therapies discussed here.

However, the author does a good job of providing credible sources and important information throughout the book, whether it be about statistics, prevention strategies, early warning signs, who gets herpes or drug-free remedies, including the familiar amino acid lysine.

Any health practitioner will tell you the key to avoiding future outbreaks is to keep the immune and nervous systems healthy, which is exactly what this book tells you how to do in a clear, straightforward manner.

This review is from: Controlling Herpes Naturally: A Holistic Approach to Prevention and Treatment (Paperback)

This is the most relevant approach to controlling herpes that I have found. Anyone can follow her program. Ms Picozzi reviews how to bolster the immune system through diet, stress management, exercise. The overall result is a healthier body and immune system. After a number of years of searching for a resource that is concise, useable and effective, this book is well worth the money. Thank you Michele!
