So first, I live in Cambodia. I'm from America.

I shagged one of the locals, who was a church goer and had only had sex with one guy in her life. Her ex-bf cheated on her with Phillippine women. I opted out for using a condom and now I have herpes. Chick had no idea she had it. Didn't even know what herpes was. Still doesn't believe I got it from her.

I shag bar girls and massage girls (rubbered up), get nothing. I shag your goody two-shoes local, church going woman, and now I get herpes.

All I can do is laugh.

Whatever.

I heard Iodine might help, so I'm trying it out.

Bare in mind, Cambodia's healthcare system is non-existent. You're better off attempting to heal yourself. I never got tested for Herpes, because no such test exists here, unless I go to a Western hospital and pay $180. I did get tested for HIV and Syphilis and I am negative.

Went to three doctors, Khmer, but higher class, and they all said it's Herpes by looking at it. I think it's Herpes too. So I'm going to confirm that it is.

So my buddy from the states came to visit me, and he brought me Lugol's Iodine 5%.

I noticed I had become infected with Herpes the last week of January 2016. First outbreak lasted about 10 days (Including full healing). It wasn't pretty, let me tell ya.

I began taking Lugols on February 9th. No cosupplements in the beginning.

1st 3-4 days, I take 2 drops daily in the morning on an empty stomach. No detox symptoms, just nice boost of energy

Next 3-4 days after, I bump to 3 drops daily in the morning on an empty stomach. No detox symptoms, just nice boost of energy.

For about a week in a half after, I bumped to 4 drops daily in the morning on an empty stomach. Nicer boosts of energy. No noticeable detox symptoms.

I have had reoccuring thoughts of offing myself though, and depression, and now I'm beginning to think that this was in fact because of detox symptoms.

I also do have some dry skin around my genital region (I've had it a month before taking Lugol's though), and I have a horrible habit of itching it at night, so it does get worst. I've been dabbing it with Lugol's Iodine and fresh coconut water (plentiful here) and seems to be getting better. Although it does sting.

Now on February 26th I noticed a cute little herpe sore at the base of my penis. So I thought "Alright, let's give this a shot."

I carpet bombed my pubic region with Iodine, and yeah, it stung at about a level 7 on a 1-10 scale.

On Saturday, I did the same off and on throughout the day. I was afraid of burning my skin by last night, so I went and bought three fresh coconuts. Chugged two, and showered in the last one. It helped with the stinging.

Last night I also noticed a small row of herpes beginning to appear above my penis. It's definitely an outbreak. I feel slight discomfort at my lower back. Genital lymph nodes aren't sore yet though.

For the record, this is my second outbreak.

Now, this morning.

This morning I awoke to observe an interesting site. All of the herpes sores were milky white. They looked like they were crusting over. This is only my second outbreak, I know, but I didn't see that at my last outbreak. My last outbreak, I used acyclovr and some cheap betadine which didn't really seem to help much.

They still hurt to the touch. And yes, there are some other sores sprouting up. So I continue to carpet bomb the area with Lugol's Iodine and then douse the area with soothing coconut water to help relieve the burn.

This morning is also the day when I decided to dive into 8 drops a day (50mg right?).

Good god. First 10 minutes, great rush of energy. By the 10th minute, I'm already foreseeing it, "This isn't going to end well."

Called it.

Anxiety starts to set it. Mini panic attack. Palpitations, heat flushing, odd tingling sensations, headache, some pressure around the eyes.

"Goddamnet what did I do."

So I look at the writings of the so called "experts" and decide to attempt to get some of the co-supplements to help ease the madness. I'm of the impression 50mg is a weak dose and isn't enough for me to OD on, since I know Iodine was tested in patients with 300mg doses a day.

I was well aware these were mean detox symptoms. I was just suprised they came on like that. I felt nothing but positives (and the stray suicidal thought) with 4 drops a day.

So I go to the "health" stores here, and I was able to find 500 mg Vit C (Ester) and 250mg Magnesium Oxide (Best I could find). I couldn't find a sole Selenium supplement, just multivitamins that contained it. I also can't find good Sea Salt .

I DID find Black Salt, which is unrefined (I think), so I'm taking that now. Please, if someone knows, tell me if Black Salt is acceptable.

I ate at 12:15pm, slammed 4 Vit C pills (2,000mg) and 2 Magnesium pills (500mg). Felt tingly, a little funny, and tired. I also bought a coconut, drank half of it (Coconuts have Selenium and Magnesium too). And then I put roughly 1/2 TSP of Black Salt (Tastes literally like rotten eggs. High Sulfur.) in some water and chugged it.

About 5 hours later, I feel better. I definitely felt sluggish so I took a nap, and awoke with a headache, but I think it was a caffeine headache. I usually have one cup of coffee a day, so I went to go get some, and now I feel a bit better.

That's the scoop now. Yes, I will definitely keep updating this log. I don't buy into BS claims by conventional medicine, that something could possibly be "incurable". I know Herpes can be cured, or at least have symptoms stop.

As far as diet goes, remember, this is Cambodia guys. My diet composes of some rice, fresh water fish, chicken, cooked and raw vegetables, beef, insects, duck eggs, and alcohol here and there. I also eat animal organs regularly. Liver, blood, hearts, brains, whatever man. Sometimes I eat Dog too.

No, I didn't alter my diet at all for the Herpes. I don't think it's necessary. I think it's like pulling straws. So I still eat chocolate here and there, I eat coconut meat, and I eat peanuts. And yeah, I drink, but I rarely get drunk. I only drink about 3-4 beers/cocktails once or twice a week.

Tomorrow I'm going to do 4 drops in the morning on an empty stomach, and then after I eat (Lunch, I don't eat breakfast), I will do another 4 drops, and add my supplements.
