Herpes Simplex Virus – apparently most of you have got it, even if you didn’t know anything about it. But is this really true?
What actually causes cold sores and genital herpes?
Let’s take a deep dive into the science behind these claims, including the 1920 experiments that are the basis to the whole virus transmission story.

Thanks gor the information and advice.
I got my first cold sore at age 6 or 7, I still get them, usually in the winter. I’ve been with the same man for over 20 years, who has never once had a cold sore ever. I’ve kissed him before when I’ve had a cold sore and he has never had one
Dearest Sam,
I have just rewatched this video – after a friend claimed she had a herpes infection on her lip 🙂 – and I am so impressed once again by this and all your other videos.
Once again: thank you so very much for all that you and your husband Mark are doing for us.
You keep brightening up my life and help me to focus on real health and living.
Thank you.
Ever so much love and gratitude,
Frid
