(More customer reviews)In response the 'virologist' that states that L-Lysine has no documentation that it works, I beg to differ. There are numerous studies in the human population that suffers from Herpes Simplex that L-Lysine works. (I was in one of those studies!) Extrapolating this to the feline population that suffers from Herpes, albeit a slightly different version, it can be assumed to work. Anecdotal reports from cat owners such as myself give testimony to it's effectiveness.
My personal anecdote is that my Persian was suffering so severely from Herpes in his eyes that his ophthalmologist (yes, there is such a thing as a cat ophthalmologist) felt she was going to have to extract his left eye and possibly both eyes. After 2 months of treatment with multiple anti-virals, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, my cat still had corneal ulcers from the Herpes so severely that even I was considering allowing his ophthalmologist to remove at least one eye. I could see no other way to stop his obviously severe pain. And to this day, his corneas are visibly and severely scarred from those ulcers.
Finally, his ophthalmologist suggested L-Lysine at 400 mg per day. When that did nothing, I upped his dose to 1,000 mg per day after reading on the Internet that it often took that much to be effective. Within 3 days, I could see a huge improvement. Within another week, his eyes were healed. After having chronic eye infections for his entire 2 years of life, he didn't get another infection for a year and a half. At that time, I upped his dose again to 1,250 mg per day and he is again free of infections.
L-Lysine doesn't cure Herpes. Once a cat has Herpes, it is for life. What it does is interfere with the replication of the virus, which damages the tissues and allows 'super' infections caused by bacteria to develop.
Oh, and I forgot to say that prior to my being in that L-Lysine study for herpes simplex type that I suffered from herpes outbreaks 2-4 times a month since I was a very young child. I have had only 2 or 3 outbreaks since that study and only when I slack off taking my L-Lysine. That study was nearly 20 years ago. I think that anecdotal report is pretty telling, as well!
