Permanently Eliminate the Herpes Virus from Your Body

Once the virus is in a person's system, it stays there for life. People can also be infected with the virus and have no symptoms. Right now, the sores and other symptoms of herpes are treated with one of several antiviral medications. 

As such, it's best stay away from foods high in arginine like turkey breast, pork loin, chicken breast, nuts (peanuts in particular), pumpkin seeds, chickpeas, soybeans, dairy products and lentils during an outbreak of herpes.

Meat and dairy products rich in lysine

Diets high in lysine and low in arginine can be used to help prevent and treat herpes. One example of a dairy product that may meet that need is grated, low-fat Parmesan cheese.
