New Electro Waveform Technology Effective at Eliminating the Painful Symptoms of Molluscum in Children and Adults
Springville, Utah (PRWEB) January 24, 2012
Molluscum, a relative of the chicken pox, was once a childhood disease but today it also is a sexually transmitted disease that can be spread between adults, according to the Center for Disease Control. until now, molluscum treatment could be painful and uncomfortable.
But now there is a new, pain-free way to eliminate the symptoms of molluscum maladies caused by viruses. the VyGone Inhibitor Zapper harnesses the power of electro waveform technology for the treatment of mollusum, as well as genital warts, shingles and other conditions caused by microscopic viruses.
When applied to infected areas, the mild electro waveform released by the VyGone Zapper stops viral activities and allows fast natural healing, eliminating ugly and embarrassing molluscum symptoms.
Molluscum is transmitted by skin-to-skin contact with active weeping lesions and from contaminated objects, clothing or towels. Frequently children and adults contract the virus in bathrooms and public swimming pool areas.
Its symptoms are ugly and painful: fleshy, pearly-white, gray-white, yellow or pink colored papule lesions, beginning as small bumps, becoming larger over time. Lesions are often on the face, legs, arms, trunk, lower abdomen, thighs, buttocks, anal region, groin, labia, and scrotum. the affected areas have itching and tenderness, lasting from two weeks to years.
To use VyGone, simply place the two prongs on your skin and press the buttons on the side of the zapper. a light will come on that indicates that the device is working properly. the first light will stay on for about ten seconds. a second light will then come on, which indicates that the zapper has reversed the direction of the electrical flow.
To eliminate molluscom symptoms, simply apply the Viral Inhibitor Pro up to 8 times daily to each papule. to prevent lesions, users emphasize early detection and immediate applications.
The VyGone Zapper Pro is good for thousands and thousands of treatments.
VyGone also can be used for the symptoms of viruses caused by shingles, moles, genital warts and other conditions.
The VyGone Zapper is also effective for people who are prone to cold sores. they normally feel an initial tingling before the signature blister appears. once they erupt, embarrassing, humiliating cold sores form in and around the mouth often stay visible for throughout their 7 to 14 day cycle.
But just a few applications of the VyGone Zapper stimulate neural signals that stop blisters and lesions from appearing. this electrical device provides a safe, noninvasive remedy which allows the body’s fast healing immune system to quickly suppress cold sores until their next eruption. For Kitt, a cold sore sufferer from Oregon, VyGone was better than any cold sore treatments she had used in the past.
“As a pharmaceutical rep, I usually get the best prescriptions out there to combat my cold sores,” Kitt said. “Recently I moved from Kansas to Oregon for a new job. well, the stress of everything involved with that caused two separate cold sores in about two weeks. this was the first time that I was excited about getting them because I wanted to test out the Zapper to see if it worked as well as everyone told me. After using it myself, I’d have to say that it worked as good as or better than any prescription drug I have ever used.”
The VyGone Zapper mainly targets Herpes viruses associated with molluscum, cold sores (oral Herpes), shingles, and genital Herpes. it can be applied to warts, moles and other growths caused by Herpes. the Zapper is harmless, non-invasive, non-chemical, non-addictive and has no side-effects. Handheld and portable, the Zapper is private and close at hand for an attack. over time, with consistent use, viral attacks lessen in frequency, severity and duration.
People with molluscum can now stop paying thousands of dollars for over the counter ointments and creams, for prescription treatments or even cold sore remedie. get long-lasting relief from the VyGone Zapper.

What is the inequity in the middle of Herpes Simplex I & Ii?
The history of the herpes virus is well documented in the writings of Hippocrates, some 2,500 years ago. the Greek devotee described the spreading of herpes as “the creep and crawl disease.” Scientific investigate has identified more than 5,000 distinct strains of the Herpes Virus. Eight of these strains cause disease in humans:
Genital Warts Herpes Reviews
1. Herpes Simplex Virus I: cold Sores2. Herpes Simplex Virus Ii: Genital Herpes3. Varicella Zoster Virus: Chicken Pox and Shingles4. Human Herpes Virus 6: Roseola5. Human Herpes Virus 8: Kaposi’s Sarcoma6. Epstein-Barr Virus7. Cytomegalovirus8. Human B-Lymphotropic Virus
There are two types of Hsv. Type 1 manifests itself in the coarse cold sore and Type 2 ordinarily manifests as genital lesions (although in some cases, Type 2 has shown itself in the form of a cold sore with many of the same properties). Since the lesions commonly influence the lips or areas bordering the lips, the condition is also known as recurrent herpes labialis.
The herpes virus takes up permanent house in the body once it becomes introduced. the peak incidence of Hsv Type 1 former infection is at two to three years of age, but new cases appear in all age groups due to the very contagious nature of the virus. only an estimated 15% of the habitancy perceive the former infection as an adult. the disease is opinion to be transmitted by direct contact. Virus urination persists in the body secretions for 15 to 42 days after the onset of the former herpes infection.
After an initial infection, some habitancy construct effective immunity; however, 20% to 45% have recurrent lesions. In North America, an estimated seven per cent of the general habitancy has two or more bouts of herpes labialis annually. In these cases the virus goes into hiding, escaping the host’s immune system by remaining latent in a specific group of cells, causing no apparent harm to the host during quiescent periods. the exact cell in which they remain latent varies from one virus to the next. In cells harboring the latent virus, the viral genomes take the form of accomplished molecules and only a small subset of virus genes are expressed.
The incubation duration for Hsv ranges from two to twelve days. after an infection, the virus goes into hiding by entering nerve endings and traveling to ganglia (clusters of nerve cells). the recurrence of the viral infection varies but confident factors are known to trigger recurrence in humans: fever, emotional stress, bodily trauma, systemic infections, ultraviolet light and menses. habitancy whose resistance is compromised (less than normal) may perceive more severe lesions with slower healing. An infection recurs when the virus is activated in the ganglia and travels down the nerve to the surface of the skin where it replicates. the recurrence takes place in phases:
a. Prodrome: Tingling and itching prior to optic outbreak; warning symptoms that last for less than six hours.b. Inflammation: Swelling and flush at the site before outbreak; an indication that the virus and antibodies have arrived.c. Vesicular: Blisters that appear within 1-2 days after prodrome from one or some vesicles, or tiny red bumps commonly found at the vermilion border of the lip.d. Ulcers: Actual sores that form within 3 days after prodrome, often accompanied by pain; blisters leak fluid.e. Crusts: Sores dry and form scabs within 4 days to indicate healing; virus diminishes and wound heals over within two to three days.f. Healing: faultless within 8-10 days; new-skin forms; virus replication is complete. the virus retreats to the host ganglia where it remains protected from the host’s immunological attack.
Evidenced by coarse recurrence, even the best curative treatments have failed to rid human-kind of the herpes virus. it has been proposed that anti-viral treatments may lead to unyielding and possibly more risky strains of the virus. As you can see, this virus represents a serious challenge to the curative community and a condition concern to the social at large.
Fortunately, when it comes to breakouts, Medavir, a pharmaceutical grade over-the-counter product, is meeting that challenge. Medavir was advanced by scientists and tested by a team of physicians and scientists from America’s top pharmaceutical companies. Medavir is not an herbal or dietary supplement often found on the internet falsely claiming to cure the herpes virus.

Genital Warts Herpes
Genital herpes HELP!?
just today I discovered a single sore or welt on the inside of my vagina that was itchy and painful at the same time. I went to google images and and mine looks EXACTLY alike. here's the thing I'm only 15 years old and I have never had sex, oral or anything before. I've never even kissed anyone. so how did I get it. about two months ago I had the chicken pox REALLY bad. I've been getting sick a lot since then I don't know why my immune system is so weak. and now, at the moment I have strep throat. Did I get it because I had the chicken pox so bad and my immune system is down. WHY DO I HAVE GENITAL HERPES. I am going to have disgusting disease for the rest of my life and I haven't even had sex yet. I'm only Fifteeeeeeeeen. please answer. by the way I have also had a headache the past week. and yes I am positive that what I have on the inside of my vagina is a herpe sore.
I really doubt that you have Herpes if you've never had oral/sex, unless you touched an open herpes lesion on your mouth and then touched below. Make an appointment with your doctor while you still have this sore and she can tell you what it is. otherwise you are going to be miserable thinking you may have something that you may not.
It could be anything, you can't diagnose it based on what it looks like. the facts are that you have not had sex. Herpes is sexually transmitted, so therefore, on this basis, you do NOT have herpes.
Wait a few days and see if it goes away, if it doesn't, then go to a doctor.
If you've never had sex of any kind, you can't possibly have herpes. stop freaking out, you're being ridiculous. there are plenty of things that create vaginal sores. Get an appointment with your doctor.
Genital Herpes Symptoms In Girls
Posted in by Dan on January 9th, 2011
Genital herpes symptoms in women are an unfortunate fact of life in our society right now. Men too are infected, but a lot more so ladies; 1 out of five women in the 14-49 age group and 1 out of 9 men according to the Center for Disease Control. this write-up will talk about the causes, symptoms, and cure for genital herpes.
Medical science shows it is a tiny particle, a virus, that is but 1 member of a massive herpes “society”. Chicken pox and shingles are regular afflictions caused by the herpes viruses. the one producing genital herpes is a lot like (at times identical) to the virus causing the popular cold sores most people get on their lips. But when herpes influence the genitals, the sufferer has often (but not often) contracted the virus in a exclusive way: by sexually intimate get in touch with with yet another infected herpes victim.
3 to seven days after exposure to herpes, the infected one notices a fiery or tingling encounter in the genital region; the herald of painful,, fluid-filled lesions. the sores create their torment for two to six weeks prior to clearing up. But herpes do not just go away. Doctors make clear it basically beats a retreat, via the nerve pathways, to nerve clusters at the bottom of the spine. there it remains dormant until something (such as strain) precipitates a reactivation of the virus. Awakened, it travels the nerve pathways back to the skin and begins the misery cycle but yet another time.
Possibly the most treacherous end result of herpes is upon the sufferer’s feelings. Observes Dr. Oscar Gillespie: the major aggravation with herpes isn’t so significantly in the virus itself, but in the approaches its presence can provoke fears, doubts and disruptions in day-to-day living. as told by one victim: It’s really difficult to describe the feelings of anger, guilt, and loss of control that you sense when you have herpes. It’s a thing that I think only a fellow herpes victim could share and appreciate. Yet such emotional turmoil essentially prolongs the cycle of the illness, usually by triggering further recurrences.
Why Referred to as Incurable
Why doesn’t the body’s immune program basically destroy the dangerous herpes virus? Doctors reply that herpes outsmarts such a fate by attaching itself to a cell, piercing its outer membrane and secluding itself therein. Safely inside, it all of a sudden commandeers control of the cell mutating it into a outright herpes factory! from 80,000 to 120,000 new viruses are made within 3 to five hours. the cell wall then breaks open, facilitating an army of unsafe particles to populate the bloodstream and infect but other cells.
You can thus comprehend why doctors explain that herpes is so tough to kill. A remedy would in some way have to identify only the infected cells to kill the virus. in other words it would have to kill infected cells without destroying healthy ones. little wonder that medical science is thus far confounded.
Recent reports that herpes vaccines are becoming tested give a promising ray of hope possibly. But while such an ounce of prevention could aid millions, what about those already infected?
Why can't genital herpes and genital warts be cured?
Why is it that genital warts and genital herpes can't be cured? I know they are both viral infections but chicken pox are also caused by a virus and that can be cured.
the common cold is a virus and so is HIV !
they cant be cured (yet) but can be easily managed to reduce the impact on your life

Why can’t genital herpes and genital warts be cured?
Why is it that genital warts and genital herpes can’t be cured? I know they are both viral infections but chicken pox are also caused by a virus and that can be cured.
How to Spot Genital Warts Before it Gets Worse
Genital warts are very common, but most people who have them or are infected by the HPV virus, which causes these warts, don’t know they have them. However, there are some early signs of genital warts that you recognize, so you could be treated before the virus gets worse.
Viruses that cause chicken pox and flu are easy to detect because of how common they affect people. Moreover, the symptoms these two diseases give out would not embarrass the person suffering from the pox or flu. Unlike these two common health problems, having genital warts can be an embarrassing situation with limited information about the disease and on how to treat it. This results in people not recognizing the early symptoms of genital warts.
Most people who catch genital warts experience early symptoms, but are not aware of it. However, for some people, the disease only manifests when it has fully developed and become symptomatic. In these cases, the sufferer would only be able to recognize that he or she has caught this sexually transmitted disease only when genital warts have become severe.
Although there is no cure for genital warts, it is important that you know you have this condition to prevent infecting anyone else. If you experience redness, soreness, itching sensation in the affected area, burning in the affected area and an uncommon dampness around the area, you may have genital warts. If these early symptoms do not show, it doesn’t mean that you don’t have the virus that causes genital warts. You should visit the doctor and seek proper treatment.
The symptoms of genital warts also mimic other diseases, such as herpes. Because of this, you should seek medical treatment immediately when experience any or all of the symptoms listed above, so the doctor can determine the real cause of the problem and how to treat it. Be aware that genital warts are a very common condition, even though it’s not talked about in the office like having a flu. Make sure to discuss your symptoms with your doctor early on, before your condition becomes a more embarrassing and more severe condition.
