Can An Alkaline Diet Help In Treating Herpes?
Can an Alkaline diet get rid of herpes? My doctor informed me that it can prevent breakouts but it is still present in your body. I was having a conversation with my boyfriend and he informed me that he was told that it could completely get rid of it. I don't think this is true. Please give me your medical insight.
