Expert Protocol Series:
Herpes Management with Diet by Dr. Ryan Jones

Background

While herpes cannot be cured, diet plays a key role in managing outbreaks by supporting immune health and reducing viral triggers. This protocol combines a lysine-rich diet with Lauricidin® for immune support, helping reduce the frequency and severity of outbreaks.

Here’s a chart outlining Dr. Ryan Jones' expert protocol in a clear, step-by-step format for easy reference:

Protocol Step	Application	Frequency
Lauricidin® for Immune Support	Take 1 scoop daily to manage viral activity and support immune resilience.	Once daily, with or between meals
High Lysine, Low Arginine Diet	Incorporate lysine-rich foods (e.g., dairy, non-acidic fruits, fish, millet, seaweed) and avoid arginine-rich foods (e.g., turkey, nuts, chickpeas).	Daily
Additional Foods and Drinks to Avoid	Avoid sugar, processed meats, chocolate, peanuts, coffee, alcohol, and soft drinks.	Daily
Optional: Lysine Supplement	Take daily for additional lysine support to inhibit arginine. Consult a provider for dosing.	Daily

This chart can be a quick reference for readers to understand and follow the protocol steps from Dr. Jones.

Protocol for Diet and Supplementation

1. Lauricidin® for Immune Support

• Oral Dosage: Start with one scoop daily, gradually increasing to tolerance, to support the immune system and manage viral activity.
• Instructions: Take Lauricidin® with or between meals for best absorption and consistency.

2. High Lysine, Low Arginine Diet

• Lysine-Rich Foods:
  • Include dairy products (e.g., cheese, yogurt), non-acidic fruits (e.g., apricots, apples, pears), and fish.
  • Whole grains (especially millet) and seaweeds (e.g., kombu, dulse, arame, hijiki) are also beneficial.
  • Garlic (chopped and raw) and shiitake mushrooms further support immunity.
• Avoid Arginine-Rich Foods:
  • Poultry (e.g., turkey, chicken breast), pork loin, nuts (especially peanuts), seeds (e.g., pumpkin seeds), chickpeas, soybeans, and lentils may trigger outbreaks by promoting viral replication.

3. Additional Foods and Drinks to Avoid

• Foods to Avoid:
  • Sugar (especially high fructose corn syrup), white rice, white flour, processed meats, deep-fried foods, chocolate, and peanuts.
• Drinks to Avoid:
  • Coffee (including decaf), alcohol, and soft drinks.

4. Optional Lysine Supplementation

• Lysine Supplement: Consider a daily lysine supplement to further inhibit arginine’s viral-supporting properties.
• Suggested Dosage: Consult a healthcare provider for personalized dosing based on needs.

Key Principles and Monitoring

• Consistency: Follow the diet consistently to reduce triggers.
• Observe Effects: Monitor for changes in outbreak frequency or severity, adjusting lysine and Lauricidin® intake as needed.

Dr. Jones’ Insights

“Herpes management can be significantly supported through dietary choices. Lauricidin® offers an effective, natural supplement to bolster immunity, while a high-lysine, low-arginine diet reduces viral activity. Together, these measures create a powerful foundation for reducing herpes outbreaks.”
