Happy solstice! As readers of this blog will know, parsley regimen has helped considerably with my allergies this past spring, and that this is likely due to the effects of parsley apigenin. Another problem that I have had every allergy season for the past several years is cold sores, which erupt with the allergies in the sunny days of spring. Happily, I was surprised that I had no cold sores at all this spring for the first time in years.
Not only has this been my best allergy season in years, but I have also been completely free of cold sores. That was an unexpected but obviously pleasant result, and perhaps it is no surprise, because of the noted anti-viral properties of certain flavonoids, which interfere with key enzymes that the viruses need to transcribe their DNA or insert it into the genome. I had thought that this property would be mild and insignificant, but it is apparently sufficient to quell the virus that causes cold sores for a season. It should be noted that sun exposure and allergy flare ups may lead directly to viral activation and cold sores, so that the effects are likely convoluted and conclusions are not sure. At least I have certainly enjoyed a pleasant spring this year with comparatively dry nostrils, and I will gladly do without the cold sores as well. I consider the case closed.
This result may be hopeful for victims of herpes simplex infections in general, as well as other viral infections, such as HIV AIDS. Herpes viruses like the cold sore virus share some similarities with retroviruses, such as HIV AIDS, especially with respect to viral latency. I would be surprised if people in these communities are not already aware of this, and it will be interesting to see if anything comes of it. A convolution of immunological effects is also clear in these cases, so that the benefits may likewise be ancillary.
If you are new to the blog, you might like to read further for information about the parsley regimen. You will certainly be surprised by how much parsley is required to achieve the desired effects. This problem is compounded by the fact that flavonoid absorption is typically poor, but recipes are provided to help overcome these problems. After months on the program, I am delighting in the tasty flavor of healthful parsley spice.
