Currently available antiviral herpes medications are not always effective, and yet herpes can be very disrupting and seriously lower quality of life. So we scoured decades of antiviral research in dozens of medical journals to find the most effective herpes treatments available. What we found was that the best treatments are actually plant extracts. We also learned that most patented medicines have their origins in plants. Plant extracts alone can't be patented, and so some of the best medicines discovered remain largely unused.

There is a lot in what you say James. I am a big believer in plants offering the answer for everything that ails us, if we only knew which plant had the answer to which problem. Aspirin is a great example of a drug found in a plant and that is truly a wonder drug, it has so many benefits for our health quite apart from its pain killing properties. I really would like to know more about this subject, I think it is fascinating!
