There is no doubt that conventional medical therapy has not been very effective in treating herpes simplex. However, it does offer drug therapy (Acyclovir) which is still the most effective compared to whatever else is available. Alternative care may work in some but in most individuals it does not. Herpes, unfortunately is forever and so buyer beware of anyone making claims that they can cure it.

Is there anything promising in the future for treatment of herpes?
Most individuals recover from herpes infection in 7-20 days. The few lucky individuals just get one infection for remembrance. The unlucky ones get recurrences at variable rates. As far as a cure is concerned, it is still light years away and it definitely won’t come cheap. The pharmaceutical industry is not in the business of losing money. If the price of acyclovir is anything to go by, the vaccine will definitely not be cheap.
