Does anyone have any information on L-Lysine? I know it is good for mouth sores. But it says it is also for trauma and emotional anxiety. Is this good for Dyslexic and AH/HD kids? who do not take any medicines. Thanks

L-Lysine is good for herpes type virus's like mouth sores , Shingles, Chickenpox ect... But dont take L-Arginine if you think you have Herpes virus in you, no matter what form you have. The herpes virus will break out with L-Arginine. ***************************************** Cold Sores Cold sores are blisters that form around the mouth and inside the nose often appearing towards the end of a cold. This common and infectious virus can also attack other parts of the face, the genitals (see Genital herpes) and other skin areas. Symptoms Itching or tingling of the skin in the affected area (normally the lips) - this may precede the appearance of the cold sore One or many clusters of small blisters forming over inflamed skin and filled with a yellowish or white fluid Red, painful sores on or near the mouth and lips, or on fingers Swollen, sensitive gums of a deep red colour A fever and/or flu-like symptoms Causes Cold sores are caused by the Herpes simplex virus, which is transmitted by contact such as kissing an infected person or sharing eating utensils. The virus may lie dormant in the body for years, sometimes without causing any symptoms, only to be activated during periods of low immune status, stress, exposure to cold, and sunburn. Some women also find that menstruation can trigger cold sores. Natural Therapies The amino acid L-lysine helps to reduce the frequency and severity of cold sore outbreaks
Zinc, Echinacea and Vitamin C help to keep the immune system strong, and help to fight the Herpes virus Lifestyle Factors The Herpes virus is made stronger by the amino acid L-arginine and weaker by L-lysine. Avoid foods rich in L-arginine (such as nuts, chocolate, carob, coconut, soya beans and oats). At the same time, increase foods high in L-lysine, (such as kidney beans, split peas, fish, lamb, milk, cheese and sprouts), and consider taking an L-lysine supplement. Stress can be a trigger for cold sore outbreak - if you are getting lots of cold sores your stress levels may be to blame - look for ways to cope better.

Just Search on www.google.com and use the words L-lysine and herpes. Or L-Arginine & herpes or add the word cold sore , or shingles, or chicken pox anyhing that is caused by the herpes virus.
