Preventing cold sores, oral herpes or fever blister outbreaks was at one time thought to be difficult, but now is quite easy. If you will let me, I would like to show you how you can be preventing cold sores within minutes.

Preventing cold sores (same as oral herpes or fever blisters) is as easy as taking a daily top-shelf vitamin and mineral supplement. Quite honestly, many folks find nothing more is needed.

I know this may sound unbelievable. Yes - you may be wondering why so many people suffer from these outbreaks when preventing cold sores can be achieved with such little effort.

In just a second I will explain more about how using vitamin pills for preventing cold sores can really work. First, though, we should review what actually causes a cold sore.

Cold sore and fever blister episodes are identical oral herpes sores caused by infection of the herpes simplex virus. About 88% of all people carry the herpes virus and were infected before they were 12 years old.

Usually the herpes virus is hibernating in the facial nerve roots - commonly called the nerve ganglia. When it senses an immune system weakness, it will travel to the surface to create new virus. This replication process creates the visible sore.

When any virus infects us, our body creates anti-bodies against that particular virus strain. Every time you get an oral herpes sore, your body creates more anti-bodies to replenish the existing troops.

If the correct nutrients are available, these anti-bodies will be a strong force in preventing cold sores. Without the needed nutrients, the anti-bodies will be weak and ineffective for preventing cold sores.

A top-quality vitamin and mineral supplement will provide most of the nutrients you will need for preventing cold sores. All the vitamins will have a big impact on oral herpes, plus minerals zinc, magnesium and calcium.

Recent studies now show that calcium deficiency is common in those who have frequent cold sores. Calcium is big against oral herpes, cold sores and fever blisters. Calcium keeps the body alkaline. No virus can get a foothold in an alkaline environment.

Vitamins B and C are water-soluble vitamins that must be replenished each day. They are the main vitamins that help us cope with stress. As you probably have heard - stress is the number one cause of cold sore events.

The oil-based vitamins A, D and E are the most important nutrients for healthy skin. They help repel damage by the herpes simplex virus and repair it quickly when it happens.

Is it not possible to get all the vitamins we need from a good diet?

Food source nutrients are, without a doubt, the best quality and most effective. Many years ago our farm fields were rich with nutrients - and so was the food grown on them.

Over the past 100 years, our farmland has become quite depleted due to heavy commercial farming. Without the nutrients in the soil, our foods no longer have the nutrients they once had.

Scientists have shown recently that it would take 59 ounces of spinach today to equal the nutrients in one ounce of 1950 spinach. Tomatoes were found to have only half the nutrients they once did. Our bodies are literally starving.

Today, we just cannot eat enough to effectively provide our body with the essential vitamins and minerals it needs to build a strong immune system and enjoy optimum health. The herpes simplex virus is just one of many viruses out of control right now.

Preventing cold sores is dependant on giving your body the ingredients it needs to build super antibodies. Eating organic or homegrown food will provide the best QUALITY of nutrients. However, this will not provide the needed QUANTITY.

Preventing cold sores with additional consumption of vitamins and minerals on a daily basis is smart and effective. It will provide the higher amounts of nutrients you need for cold sore control.

If you suffer a lot of cold sore events, than give this a try. There are other things you can be doing, but this should be the first method you use for preventing cold sores.
