Publisher's Synopsis
Do you have herpes? Does your partner? Are you sexually active, and want to understand the best possible way to minimize your risks of contracting this sexually transmitted disease (STD)?Receiving a herpes simplex diagnosis does not have to be the end of the world. This is definitely devastating news. It can come as a shock to some people, catching them totally off guard. Perhaps you have known for a while that your sexual behavior was risky, but you have always been lucky, and unfortunately, that luck has come to an end.You are probably wondering ...- What happens now?- How did this happen?- Will this lead to other health problems?- Will I ever be able to have sex again?- What will my partner/spouse/girlfriend/boyfriend think?- Am I a bad person? I thought only prostitutes and people who had sex with lots of partners got herpes and other STDs.If for whatever reason you or someone you love has been diagnosed with herpes, you should immediately understand there are some serious health issues which could arise from complications of this infection. This is definitely not a health problem to be ignored. It certainly won't go away on its own, as the herpes simplex virus is a lifetime partnership with its host.However, managed properly, which means a combination of particular lifestyle practices, dietary habits and traditional medicine, herpes need be nothing more than a medical condition which is easily treated and managed.If you believe that sexually-transmitted diseases and infections only happen to prostitutes, drug abusers and other "at risk" individuals existing on the fringes of society, think again. If you think you are "bulletproof" against herpes and other sexually transmitted diseases, consider the following statistics.- Nearly 4 billion people 50 years of age or younger currently have a herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1) infection.- In the United States, 1 in every 6 people between the ages of 14 and 49 has genital herpes.- It is believed that as much as 50% of all people with herpes type 1 or type 2 do not know they have the infection.- Neonatal herpes passes the virus from a pregnant woman to her newborn child, and kills 6 in every 10 infected newborns.- Herpes complications include ulcers, scabs, pain while urinating and having sex, newborn infection, bladder problems, meningitis, encephalitis, inflammation of the rectum and brain-based health disorders when the condition infects the nervous system.Aside from the physical health problems the herpes simplex virus can create, low self-esteem, embarrassment, shame and a withdrawal from society are frequent emotion-based symptoms. When you understand how to treat and manage your condition holistically and naturally, you get from relief from those emotional issues, as well as the following benefits.- Fewer flareups.- Improved self-esteem.- Less visible symptoms.- A healthier sex life.- Lower risk of contracting HSV from your infected partner, or a lower chance that you will pass the virus to someone else.- Fewer emotional ups and downs attached to your herpes infection.- Better overall health and wellness, because of the smart nutrition habits you will learn.When you know natural lifestyle and dietary practices you can follow to minimize the impact of herpes, this infection doesn't need to ruin your life, emotionally or physically.That is why we have created this special book titled ..."Herpes Simplex Virus: Managing HSV Holistically"
