Cold Sores (Herpes Simplex I):
When a cold
sore lesion is attempting to erupt, straddle the site
with the probes and push the start button, a red point
near the top on the side of the device, at which time a
light will come on. This procedure delivers "milliamps
of current" from one probe to the other for ten to
twenty seconds and then the second light comes on
reversing polarity and treating in reverse for another
ten to twenty seconds. This nearly imperceptible charge
destroys the "protein barrier" surrounding the
virus, rendering the virus naked and allowing the body's
immune system to assist in neutralizing the virus's
ability to create a lesion.
Unlike most
treatments for the lesions associated with known
varieties of herpes, the "Cold Sore Inhibitor"
is a non-invasive device. If treatment is started within
the first hour of symptoms, a lesion will not form and
you will experience immediate relief from the burning
sensation. To insure that the lesion does not form, it
is imperative that during the first six hours you treat
the lesion site as often as the "burning sensation"
returns or at least one treatment per hour. Test have
shown that if the device is used after the lesion has
already erupted and formed a cold sore, treating it with
the device will speed up the healing time considerably.
Even during the healing process it is recommended that
you treat the site as often as the burning sensation or
any other irritation is present. The silver metallic
side of the cap is designed to be used as a mirror to
insure the user straddles the lesion site, when a
regular mirror is not available. If you have "chapstick",
"lip gloss", "lip stick", "carmex" or "blistex"
on the site of the treatment, it must be
removed before attempting treatment if not removed it
will block the electrical signal and make it ineffective.
Genital Cold Sores (Herpes Simplex II):
Double blind
studies have shown that genital (herpes) cold sores
when treated in the same manner as facial cold sores
react the same as those on the lip or face. Simply
determine where the lesion is attempting to form,
straddle the sight with the probes, push the start
button and treat herpes as often as the burning sensation or
irritation persists, but at least once per hour for the
first six hours.
Shingles (Herpes Zoster):
Treatment of
shingles on the arms, ribs, back, chest, head, near the
eyes, and other areas on the body experience immediate
relief from the excruciating pain associated with them
as well as causing the rash and blisters to heal
quickly. Treatment of shingles is very effective if the
device is placed on the site where the pain is greatest
and letting the device run through the full cycle. If
the pain is present at more than one site, treat each
site as a potential eruption.
Maintenance:
The Cold
Sore Inhibitor requires only that the probes be kept
clean. An alcohol wipe or a cotton swab saturated with
alcohol applied to each tip and immediately wipe off
will be sufficient. If more than one person is using the
device it is recommended that it be cleaned between each
use to prevent spreading of the virus from one person to
the other. It is recommended that each individual have
their own device and carry it with them, this will allow
treatment immediately at time of onset and prevent the
lesion from forming.
Do not submerge
the unit in water!
Submerging the device in water may impair the circuit
and render the device unusable.
Problems:
Both lights
come on simultaneously. If this occurs simply wait until
the lights extinguish and push the start button again.
If the surface of the skin is overly damp or wet it can
cause this condition. Simply dry off the skin and repeat
the procedure until only one light comes on at a time.
