For those who are interested, the amino acid lysine suppresses the chicken pox/shingles virus. It won’t kill off the virus, just makes the symptoms less severe. On the other hand, the amino acid arginine aggravates the virus, so eating nuts, chocolate, etc. should be avoided during an outbreak since it will make shingles worse.

I somehow ended up with ongoing neurological symptoms from the virus, so have used lysine quite often over the past 15-20 years. It’s been a life saver since the prescription med can have bad side effects.

Thanks for these tips Pray4peace, did not know about the issue with chocolate and nuts, two of my favorite things of course. Agree, lysine is very good.

This is very helpful to know. Thank you. I have had it twice. Once in my early 20's and about 12 years ago. Second case faded quickly. My immune system fought it off. So glad to know about lysine.

Chocolate is one of my favorites too! It’s so hard to give up sometimes. Why can’t comfort food ever be good for us???

Lysine is effective against other herpes viruses as well. Shingles is the herpes zoster virus.
