I am a 68 year old man who recently exhibited shingles. It is my understanding that shingles, while resulting from a chicken pox event in my youth, is in fact a kind of herpes virus. Will lysine help mitigate further episodes of shingles? I currently am taking a gram per day.

Note if you are prone to hypoglycemia, take care with lysine supplementation. I find I can take 1/3 dose (333mg) and be ok. But more than that I end up with profound sleepiness/sugarcrash symptoms. I searched pubmed and found the link to insulin and glucagon reference above, but was surprised it would affect me so much. At low doses it does seem to help the little blisters I get on the roof of my mouth. I assume viral, not sure which virus.

Also odd to recommend against lysine for fear of excessive calcium. I would strongly recommend watching Joel Wallach’s Dead Doctors Don’t Lie, Somebody Needs To Go to Jail, Dead Athletes Don’t Lie and Black Gene Lies on YouTube. Also look up the Wallach Wisdom aka Wallach encyclopedia. He also wrote Immortality, and Rare Earth’s,Forbidden Cures and is the most promoting if calcium. Most warnings on calcium excess have more to do with the lacking if the rest if the bone team( magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin K2, boron, Lysine, vitamin C, vitamin A, manganese, copper, zinc, gelatin etc). These work together to build healthy bone and joints , k2 specifucally drives calcium into bone and teeth and out of arteries and soft tissues. I am looking into lysine for my duodenal ulcer. I know when I follow doc Wallach’s recommendations, ( eating 10 eggs a day, I can’t though, I’m happy to get 3 down). My cold sores go away. But the question is will my ulcer go away? Need to get off Prilosec, it’s killing my mitochondria.

Interesting the recommendation on pregnancy increasing hemoglobin with lysine use. And warning against it. Didn’t you know a healthy pregnancy includes increasing the blood supply 40%? That’s all to supply the baby.

Larry did you ask him if he can still get a gf with cold sores on his mouth? You realise approx 70%of American adults have this correct. That would make 70%of the population lonely lol. I’ve had them since I was 13 and never been a dating issue lol.

Hey Bob, has this affected your relationship status; do you currently have a partner with your diagnosis?

Thanks…

Mouth ulcers are caused by a gluten sensitivity, likely celiac disease. Find a functional medicine doctor, or a nutritionist who’s well versed on a paleo/ancestral way of eating.

A critical function of all the amino acids are their role as building blocks of proteins. Please advise if you have more info about Glycine, the smallest amino acid? Parenthetically, there are some artificial amino acids – such as the active ingredient in Monsanto’s RoundUp, glyphosate. Reports indicate glyphosate – which is defined as both an amino acid, and an antibiotic – fits into proteins by stealth, as it is very similar to other amino acids. The resulting proteins are mutations which must confound all sorts of biological processes. Monsanto has many more studies yet to do …. while our population are The Lab Rats.

I’ve been taking 500 mg lysine before bed for the last 20 yrs at least. Started due to a mild oral herpes issue…do not have outbreaks since starting this…but this might be due to other factors.
