Gabriel focuses on preventing outbreaks by supporting immune function and creating unfavorable environment for virus: 1) Lysine supplementation (antagonizes arginine—virus needs arginine), 2) Avoid high-arginine foods, 3) Immune optimization, 4) Identify and avoid personal triggers, 5) Antiviral herbs, 6) Topical treatments for active outbreak, 7) Stress management (key trigger).

Herpes not 'curable' but outbreaks preventable/minimizable for most.
Standard Treatment
Antiviral medications: Acyclovir (Zovirax), Valacyclovir (Valtrex), Famciclovir (Famvir); Topical acyclovir cream; Suppressive therapy (daily antivirals if frequent outbreaks); Pain management (topical lidocaine).
The Problem
Antivirals are effective (appropriate for severe/frequent outbreaks) but: don't cure herpes (virus remains dormant), side effects with chronic use (kidney stress, headaches), expensive for suppressive therapy, doesn't address immune optimization or trigger avoidance, doesn't emphasize lysine:arginine balance (diet matters), topical acyclovir only modestly effective, many patients can prevent outbreaks naturally without chronic antivirals through immune support and lysine.

High-lysine, low-arginine diet: High lysine foods: fish, chicken, beef, lamb, dairy (if tolerated), eggs, beans, spirulina; Avoid high-arginine foods: nuts (especially peanuts, almonds), seeds (pumpkin, sesame), chocolate, coconut, oats, wheat germ, gelatin; Moderate: whole grains; Increase: lysine-rich foods, garlic (antiviral), foods rich in zinc and vitamin C; Avoid: excess sugar, alcohol, processed foods.
Stress management CRITICAL (stress major trigger—meditation, therapy, adequate sleep), adequate sleep (7-9 hours), sun protection (use lip balm with SPF—sun triggers oral herpes), avoid triggers: illness, trauma to area, excessive sun, identify personal triggers (food, stress, menstruation), boost immune during illness, avoid skin-to-skin contact during active outbreak (contagious), antiviral medication (valacyclovir) for severe cases or suppressive therapy—appropriate.
