* Please be patient... this page will take a little while to build. Meanwhile, all of the references/resources are listed under each original, individual presentation on the Facebook page. I have been asked before why I tend to use the same resources repeatedly. Part of it is for simplicity, to make it easy to find, follow and explore. Part of it is because I have found these resources to be particularly accurate and useful. Nutritionfacts.org, for example is itself extraordinarily thorough and well-researched, with complete transparency of its references. And part of it is simply because I am still working full time in clinic, so this project is being done here and there in my spare time...

There has been some interest in lysine to help prevent herpes outbreaks, but it does not work as well as the antiviral medications and I would not recommend it as a sole treatment, especially in pregnancy. Of the foods on the list, for other reasons, I would emphasize the plant versions. "Brewer’s yeast and legumes such as chick peas, kidney beans and lentils. Among fruits and vegetables, avocado is the only option that is rich in lysine. However, fruits and vegetables contain nutrients other than lysine that help fight herpes outbreaks, so you should enjoy them freely."
