Herpes viruses are elusive and insidious opportunists. To drive these quirky strangers out of the body, medicine is not yet able, but still there is a government on them! In the battle are modern approaches to the treatment of herpes. About what, in fact, this herpes, as well as a new method for its treatment, will be discussed below.
Not so long ago the attitude or relation to herpes was trifling - well you will think, "cold on labiums", the trouble is not great! Unfortunately, the more science learned about this virus, the darker it became
The true picture of the robbery of herpes attacks on the human body.
The many-faced family
Herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 are one of the most common viruses that infect humans. They provoke genital herpes, shingles and bladderwort. Also close relatives of herpes are related to this family: papillomavirus (with the risk of cancer diseases being higher at times), cytomegalovirus (which makes pregnancy impossible) and Elstein-Barr virus, because of it, chronic fatigue syndrome develops.
That's the fever!
The ubiquitous virus is found in all human physiological fluids, saliva, tears, blood, sperm, urine and sweat. This infection is transmitted mainly through contact (with a kiss, sexual intercourse) and even through the placenta - from the mother to the child. The potential for herpes infection is much higher at the time of relapse.
The herpes virus, once ingested, remains there for life. Clinical manifestations of the disease and its recurrence arise under the influence of provoking factors. New outbreaks of the disease contribute to hypothermia or overheating, prolonged infection, antibiotic abuse, trauma, ultraviolet irradiation, overwork ... The virus damages the skin, mucous membranes, the cornea of the eye, sometimes the liver, brain and other organs. There are also modern data on the oncotonic properties of herpes. In addition, the "conscience" of the malignant virus is infertility, miscarriages at an early age and the death of infants infected in the womb during the gestation period. More than two million people in our country are carriers of genital herpes, but far from everyone knows about it, as today asymptomatic carriage of the virus is more and more common. Recognize the infection is helped only by special tests. According to some reports, women suffer from genital herpes 6 times more often than men.
Soporific for the virus
Alas, the doctors "could not find the key" to fully treat herpes until they could not. To defeat herpes once and for all it is impossible - you can only maximize the state of remission. While the virus is "asleep", it is not terrible. Therefore, it is still necessary to be treated. Traditional treatment of herpes is long and not cheap - pills should be taken up to a year or longer (in case of genital herpes it is necessary to be treated by both partners). In addition, most drugs give side effects.
A new treatment for herpes
Today, non-pharmacological methods of treatment, including ozone therapy, are becoming increasingly popular. The use of the ozone curative gas in the treatment of herpes reduces the doses of antiviral medicines and the duration of the course of treatment. In the more mild forms of the disease, the use of ozone can replace all other drugs and medical methods.
For the first time ozone as an antiseptic was tested in 1915 during the First World War. This gas has unique properties - it improves oxygen metabolism in tissues and disinfects them. The effect of a chemical substance with the formula O on the human body is very selective. Ozone has a destructive effect on pathogens, fungi and viruses. A small amount of this gas introduced into the body in the form of injections, increases the oxygen content in the blood, makes the enzymes work more actively, restores metabolism and other biochemical processes that are vitally important for any person. All this has a very beneficial effect on immunity, helping the body to withstand many ailments on its own.
In addition, ozonotherapy may be needed and in order to pick up immune preparations corresponding to the sensitivity of the patient. Simplicity of application, high efficiency, good tolerability - all this is characteristic for ozonotherapy.
To prick and forget
For medical purposes, an ozone-oxygen mixture is used, in which the ozone content does not exceed 3-5%. You can inject ozone subcutaneously in the form of microinjection (this method is more often used in dermatology), as well as irrigation and purging (in gynecology, dentistry, gastroenterology). And for the fight against viruses, the method of autohemotherapy is more effective. The oxygen-oxygen mixture obtained on special medical ozonizers is mixed in a certain volume with the blood of the patient taken from that of the vein. Enriched with ozone, the blood changes in color: from the dark, as it happens in hypoxia (oxygen deficiency), it becomes scarlet. To cope with herpes viruses, you need to spend 8-10 sessions 2-3 times a week. Although already at the end of the first course the state of remission is reached for half a year at a minimum, and sometimes even longer. But even if after the treatment the virus again raises its head, its aggressiveness will not be the same - after all, after ozonotherapy, the disease is much easier.
Another modern approach to the treatment of herpes is the use of a simpler but no less effective method - ozonize not the blood, but saline, which is injected into the vein with the help of a dropper. If the patient is concerned about rashes on his legs, they are treated in a special boot-chamber, where ozone is circulating. Good effect on the herpetic vesicles of ozone, dissolved in vegetable oil. In order for the procedure to be truly effective and safe, the patient must make sure that the doctor practicing this method has a certificate of an ozone therapist.
