Oral Herpes

Posted by: Helder Durao on February 28, 1999


Hi!, Once Again.

Despite having started a macrobiotic diet (at least I think it was macrobiotic) more than ten years ago, which has changed to what is now a semi-macrobiotic diet, I could not prevent the appearance of herpes in my upper and lower lip. Is it anything I can do to avoid this disease? Is it a disease triggered by yang or yin factors? (I read thar exposure to sun rays and wind increases the chances of appearance).

Just two another questions related to my children: 1. One of my three children is only nine months old, and he is still partially breastfeeded. What kind of food, from a macrobiotic point of view, can I give to him, without raising concerns in my wife? 2. All of my sons are apparently prone to ear and throat infections, and took antibiotics (even when they were only drinking their mother's milk). Is there another option to treat these infections? Does it mean their natural defenses are weak, even if their parents are eating healthier foods?

Thank you very much for your attention.
