Those flare-ups are usually life-long and can be demoralizing. One idea that may help you to reduce the outbreaks and severity:
Eat foods with a high lysine/arginine ratio. Foods high in the amino acid arginine can promote herpes virus replication, while foods high in the amino acid lysine can inhibit it.
Some good food choices:
milk, cheese, eggs, fish, lentils, beans, sweet potatoes.... -
Our preprint describes how #EffectivePopulationSize affects #AminoAcid usage. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.02.01.526552v2. Within highly exchangeable pairs of amino acids, high Ne species are able to prefer #arginine over #lysine, and #valine over #isoleucine. This matches #thermophile preferences, as expected from theories of marginal protein stability at mutation-selection-drift balance. 1/6
