Two months of BHT, no outbreaks

HEY!!

I've been using BHT for about 2 months now, 500mg dissolved in oil, every other day, and I have not had an outbreak since my lost post. SWEEEEET.

Furthermore, it was summer and I went out A LOT. I was drinking heavily from Thurs-Sat every week for 8 weeks so my body was very susceptible to get cold sores. BUT I had no sign of one all summer long, woooowhoooo.

I'm back, Sorry for the long wait between Posts

So, I somehow lost my bottle of BHT around 2 months ago, I think it had to do with spring cleaning and it got misplaced. Therefore I had to order a whole new bottle. I just got back on it. I had 2 outbreaks after I lost my bottle of BHT. I just got my new bottle and I was having an outbreak at the same time, SO i did a little more research about TOPICAL BHT. And this is what I found...... http://www.freepatentsonline.com/5215748.html Read the whole article and you will be very surprised. To sum it up, back in 1991 pharmacists did research of topical BHT with Tea Tree oil, and the reasearch found that it SIGNIFICANTLY reduces the healing time from 7-14 days to 3 days! And if applied to the "tingle" area early enough, no cold sore symptoms would appear! So I took this into my own hands and bought some Tea Tree Oil. Currently I am having an outbreak due to the fact that I did not have any BHT for the last 2 months. So i mixed up about 2 tablespoons of TTO and 1000mg of BHT. I applied the concoction to my lesions and than to further the process, I applied some of the BHT crystals on top of my lesions. I must also add I popped all the blisters that were present before I appled the TTO & BHT. This all took place last night, and now it is the morning, so it has been approximately 12 hours. I woke up and guess what, the lesions are already healing!! No nasty yellow blister stage, YAAAY!! There is redness but thats because it's healing!!

So I have begun again taking BHT orally, 500mg of BHT dissolved in cocnut oil or EVOO. At this point, I do not know if oral BHT has effects, but I do know Topical BHT with Tea Tree Oil is 100% effective if applied correctly. So i will begin this venture once again by taking BHT orally and I will try to post every other month about the effects!

Together We Rise!

One month of BHT = No outbreaks

Hey,

I've been using BHT for almost a month and I have not had an outbreak. What is even more reassuring is that I have been getting completely wasted on the weekends and there has been no sign of an outbreak. I mention this because previously when I partied my ass off during the weekend, one or two days following that I would have an outbreak and/or a very "tingly" upper lip. I did feel a slight tingle after one of my weekends out , but I used topical bht ( you melt approx. 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and dump out a 250mg pill of BHT into the coconut oil, and let the BHT dissolve, than apply it topically where you feel the tingle) , and the tingle went away. I do not take BHT on Saturdays because I always get hammered on Saturdays and you are not supposed to take BHT with alcohol.

As for how I feel, fucking fantastic.

The Proper way of taking/swallowing BHT

I would like to mention one last thing. I believe a lot of people who tried BHT with no success did not consume BHT properly. You CAN NOT just take the pill with a glass of water!!! BHT is not WATER SOLUBLE and the PILL that the BHT comes in is NOT MENT to be SWALLOWED. You must open up the pill, empty out the BHT powder into oil, let it dissolve in oil, and than swallow it. I use cold pressed COCONUT OIL which is in a solid state at room temp. I scoop out one tablespoon of Coconut oil with a metal tablespoon, turn on my gas stove and put the tablespoon over the flame so the coconut oil melts, than empty the BHT powder out of one 250mg pill into the tablespoon of coconut oil and let the BHT dissolve within the oil. (This whole process takes 2-4 minutes).

Until next time,

First day of BHT

Hey!! Today was my first offical day of using BHT. I ate a pretty "fat soluble" breakfast (eggs,buttered toast, apple, w/ a protein shake). So after breakfast, I opened the 250mg capsule and put only HALF of the BHT capsule in a tablespoon of coconut oil, said a prayer, and gulped it down like a champ. By only taking half a capsule, I used about 125mg my first day so that my body could adjust to the intake of BHT. I will do this for the next two days and ramp up to the full 250mg capsule on my fourth day. As for how I feel so far: Normal as usual. Until next time, Leo

Welcome

I have started this blog to test the effectiveness of BHT on HSV-1 / cold sores and to track my progress while using it. This is the second blog that has been started on the use of BHT for the treatment of HSV-1/cold sores. Lucky Phoswa's blog, http://bht-coldsores.blogspot.com/ , was the first blog created about the use of BHT, and was the motivational factor behind the creation of this blog. This blog was started to support claims that have been made about the use of BHT.

My name is Leo, and I am in my early 20's. I contracted HSV-1 during spring break in March of 2008 . I returned home from break with a ridiculous outbreak from the bottom of my nose to the top of my upper lip that lasted 4 weeks. I got a blood test done, and sure enough, I had contracted HSV-1.

I have done a lot of research within the last year of HSV-1 and the use of BHT. Please do your own research in order to educate yourself on BHT. Do not just start using it without doing the proper research! As with everything, there are risks involved by using BHT.

Dosage of BHT and other supplements

During the FIRST WEEK of "treatment", I will begin by taking 250mg of BHT dissolved in a tablespoon of coconut oil, after my first meal, combined with 2,000mg's - 6,000mg's of Ester-C (Vitamin C) spread out during the day. I will also be taking a multi-vitamin and Probiotics.

I will remain on the "First Week" regime for two months, and if it proves to be effective, I will remain on the "First Week" regime . If it is not effective, I will increase the BHT dosage to either 500mg or 750mg. I will make sure to update this blog if I change my dosage.

In my opinion, in order for BHT to "work" effectively, your immune system must be in top-notch shape.
