Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Herpes," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Herpes in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Herpes when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Herpes, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

If Only No Stars Were Possible
Does the word syntax mean anything to Nancy Wadler?Or grammar? Is it too much to expect an understanding -- however minimal -- of proper punctuation?This is an otherwise cogent text on the effects of herpes ruined by Ms. Wadler's sloppy elocution on its "psychological aspects."After reading this inartful summary, I am confident that I would rather be exposed to the effects of the disease rather than more of her prose.

While there's no cure for herpes, there is hope. Controlling Herpes Naturally is still the first and only book devoted exclusively to discussing the many natural remedies readily available to treat and prevent genital herpes, cold sores and shingles.

This second edition features additional alternative methods --from diet, herbs, homeopathy, aromatherapy, dietary supplements, stress management and the right forms of exercise --to deal effectively with this condition without resorting to expensive and potentially risky prescription drugs.

The recommendations outlined in Controlling Herpes Naturally are so practical, sensible and inexpensive that anyone with facial or genital herpes can put them to use right away to speed healing and to dramatically lessen the chance of future outbreaks.

As the herpes virus affects millions of people worldwide, this sensible and informative guide offers real solutions for surviving herpes. Controlling Herpes Naturally is the definitive source for getting better, feeling better and staying better naturally.

The reference section also has been updated and expanded. ... Read more

A reference that is almost, but not quite, there
I've suffered from cold sores for years, and have tried all sorts of treatments and read as much as I can on the subject. I came across this book and really hoped it would help. But, unfortunately, it falls short on several levels.

One other reviewer noted that there are numerous typos, and this is true. I found a number of typos, odd formatting, and other type-related errors. Since this is an updated version of a previous book, I would have thought these would have been corrected. Again, I could live with these type of errors if the information was worthy.

Overall, I rate this book as "fair." There is good information here, though it may not be presented in the best way. The author begins with an overview of the herpes virus, then presents the current drugs/topical methods of treatment in medicine. However, the focus of the book is natural treatment. She lists a number of supplements to support the immune system, then moves on to treating an outbreak (such as using congealed red wine as a topical treatment).

Other (somewhat obvious) methods of treatment are discussed, such as reducing stress, exercising, and doing yoga. A fair chunk of the book covers diets. For those of you familiar with cold sores, you might be aware of eating foods with more lysine and less arginine in them. I can understand that. She also discusses reducing (or eliminating) things like white sugar, corn syrup, and processed foods. Again, no problem and it's good for overall health. Where it gets confusing is when she starts talking about other diets and the glycemic index. One section says to avoid whole oats, while another says it's good. So which one do I believe?

The order of some of the chapters is a bit out of whack. For instance, toward the end of the book she discusses good hygiene. I think that would have made more sense to include before the chapter on topical treatment, since cold sores are very contagious upon outbreak.

I would not suggest that someone who is a beginner read this book. I think it would be confusing. If you've read a little on herpes before, give it a try, with the above caveats.

Fantastic resource for everyone with this virus
Loads of info on what herbs, vitamins, foods and exercises to help manage the virus.

Presentation is clean and organized. I continue to use as a reference to stay free from outbreaks.

I can't imagine not giving this book 5 stars
This book is packed with information about herpes virus.Why spends hours researching on the net when you can get it all in one simple book?I'm glad I purchased it despite the other negative review!

Don't waste your time.
I bought this book because I would like to keep my little herpes friends in check through diet and exercise rather than with drugs.I found this book very poorly edited and irritating to read.I would have beeen willing to overlook this had there been any new or insightful information that couldn't be found on Wikipedia.There isn't.Avoid processed foods, exercise regularly and try not to get stressed out.Imagine that.Save yourself the2 hours it will take to read this book and go play with your lover/dog/cat instead. ...
