Does diet impact frequency of hsv 2 outbreaks? if suppressive therapy is taken, what time of day is best?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There is /are: no medical data or evidence based medical studies showing the direct effect of nutrition on outbreaks of hsv2! As long as the suyppressive therapy is taken REGULARLY and DAILY likewise no evidence that the TIME of day makes a difference! Hope this helps! Dr Z
