    Natural Remedies for Herpes & other Infectious Diseases

    Tuesday, May 14th, 2013, 7-9pm

    Cost: $20

    Natural Remedies for Herpes & other Infectious Diseases

    60% or more of the adult population has Herpes Simplex 1 or 2 or both, far from the misleading 20% figure we hear about. Herpes is one of the most frequently occurring viruses in the living world and is rarely discussed in the media. Many myths prevail about the nature of Herpes, which leaves those infected, their partners, families and healers misinformed - this misinformation can lead to isolation and shame. Herpes has been a ubiquitous part of the environment for more than a 100 million years and is a brilliantly designed piece of evolutionary engineering. It is easily managed naturally through diet, exercise, vitamins and herbs and it's relatively easy to minimize the risk of infecting others or being infected with herpes. Whether you have herpes, wish to learn how to protect yourself from herpes or want to learn how to more effectively and holistically treat those with herpes.

    Christopher Scipio is the most experienced practitioner in treating the herpes virus naturally and is the author of the book "Making Peace with Herpes". A Holistic Viral and Immune Specialist who comes from a long-line of Caribbean herbalists, Scipio has over the past 19 years developed a highly successful drug-free treatment protocol for herpes and has pioneered the holistic movement in herpes treatment.
