This is the most comprehensive fact based information I’ve encountered on Herpes. Over the years I’ve struggled with mouth and lip cold sores. One thing you don’t mention is how painful they are. Recently I found putting niacin zinc salve on at the earliest stage completely reduced the pain and duration. I found it miraculous, having tried both topical pharmaceutical and topical lysine in the past. I also take flush niacin daily.
The information on lysine versus arginine was helpful.
Please reconsider recommending liver as it is the bodies largest storage diet for toxic accumulation. Dr Garrett Smith, also on Substack, has great information on effective detoxification and sells the niacin zinc salve at nutritiondetective.com
I used to have those 'cold sores' twice a year, spring and autumn. I treated with a topical acyclovir cream. Then a few years ago I started taking supplemental vitamin D3 (with K2 and Mg) and they disappeared for good. It took me a while to realise this.
This seems to be written for a med school audience. I am not a med student. My language is not medical or scientific. I am swamped with text and challenged to find the point by many essays.
I recently started reading the section for 6 y.o.'s, if only to appreciate the "age-appropriate" analogies for explaining complicated subjects to youngsters. Then I realized that that section is to help adults explain things to children who won't be reading Unbek's posts, which are at a high reading level.
In addition to tech-med writing, I am a retired certified massage therapist (Virginia). In massage school, I met a lot of fellow students who were not interested one whit in the underlying principles for treating pain, as explained by a knowledge of anatomy and physiology (A&P).
So on my own, I invested in a med-school level textbook review of A&P. Yes, it was very technical, but I also bought a quality medical dictionary off the public library sale shelf.
My first ambition was to be a physician, but the admission committees of med schools have a preference for demanding admission standards, (like getting a passing grade in university calculus). Does that have any direct relation to drug dosing? My hunch is that med schools want to limit the type of candidate that gets admitted.

Absolutely brilliant and should be read by everyone.
I always keep L-lysine around. At the first sign of mouth sore, I take a few tablets and the sores heal.

I hope you don't think it insulting if I suggest you read only the part that says how you explain this to a six year old.
I'm not medically trained but can easily follow the writing and the blindingly good logic which is supported by the evidence.
Nice comment.
