When diagnosed with herpes, there are certain things your doctor, clinic, or lab may never tell you about herpes, which aren't necessarily secrets or a result of negligence or an uncaring attitude. They are things that, more or less, go unsaid.
Medical professionals tend to say only some things upfront and wait for you to come back with different symptoms rather than lay everything on you. It's also possible that certain information is omitted due to a lack of the doctor's knowledge or the desire not to frighten you.
Here's what your doctor may not tell you about the Herpes simplex Virus.
Medications Can Cause More Frequent HSV Outbreaks
- Steroid based medications, such as Cortisone and Hydrocortisone
- Birth control shots (Depo-Provera)
- Flu vaccinations, especially COVID-19 jabs
- Any medication or drug that weakens the immune system
- Nasal sprays, such as Fluticasone
HSV Hides From Your Immune System
Herpes can hide and move from cell to cell under a protective coating called Biofilm, making it impossible for your immune system to see and destroy it. When you read about herpes turning off your immune system, this is what's being referred to. The virus doesn't actually turn your immune system off. It's still working in every other way. It just can't work against herpes in hiding (sleeping, dormant, in remission). However, it does work to fight the active virus.
HSV Can Change DNA & Cause Cancer
The herpes virus can directly damage your DNA, leading to genetic mutations that may contribute to the development of Cancer. Frequent herpes outbreaks cause chronic inflammation, which links to developing certain types of Cancer, such as cervical or colon Cancer. Frequent and severe herpes infections tax the immune system (weakening its defenses), making you more susceptible to infections in general, leading to Cancer.
Note: While the Herpes Simplex Virus is associated with causing colon Cancer, due to it's ability to change DNA, "they" say that DNA testing kits, such as Cologuard (which look for precancerous or cancerous DNA markers in stool samples) are only looking at genetic material that suggests the possibility of Cancer and not the cause.
HSV Symptoms Can Mimic and Cause Other Conditions
HSV can mimic canker sores, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, hemorrhoids, and neurological conditions. Herpes can also cause Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, IBS, Interstitial Cystitis, and dental problems. You'll find holistic alternatives for these conditions here.
