How close are they to discovering a cure for herpes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BHT: Butylated hydroxytoluene (bht) is a food preservative antioxidant. Bht is not a cure, but it will control the lesions. At the first sign of a breakout (red, itchy skin) take 2, 000 mg of bht (available over the counter) in divided doses each day until the lesions resolve. For more information, download the free e-book, "wipe out herpes with bht.".
