I took the Resolve Herpes Mineral Detox and This is What Happened.

I've tried the Resolve Minerals Herpes detox, and this is my background and experience:

Infected at age 24 by my FIANCE who deployed overseas for a year before we got married. Didn't know what it was, symptoms extremely mild, I thought it was just ingrown hairs as outbreaks were happening after shaving. Formal diagnosis via blood test 20 years later, HSV-2 positive. Started suppression treatments and began researching alternative cures.

Researched extensively, tried Resolve Herpes Mineral Detox about 1 year ago. I stopped all suppressive meds (Acyclovir) and took the detox per instructions. No break outs for one year, so I was pretty excited. Just before the detox I was breaking out about once a month, likely due to menopause/hormonal stress. Before that, it was once every 2-3 years.

At about the 6 month mark after doing the detox, I began bleeding upon intercourse. Super scary, so I went in to my OB/Gyn and they did a series of tests, saying that there was something wrong with my uterine lining.

Final result from several doctor visits, different exams and tests is that I just have to live with it, that my lining has become hyper sensitive and I'm going to just bleed everywhere whenever I have sex. Great.

Now the disclosure conversation is "Hey I'm super happy with the way things are going between us, and it feels like we're moving toward intimacy... so I want to tell you that I carry the antibodies for HSV which is genital herpes. I do work really diligently to keep it suppressed..." pause for them to let that sink in... then "my number one concern is always going to be for your safety." (I have this down to a tee and I've never been dumped or placed on hold because of my HSV).

And that used to be the end of that... but now verse 2 is "Oh and I'm going to bleed everywhere if we do decide to have sex."

Great... Awesome.. thank you.

Assuming that the detox caused this side affect, as nothing other than that changed with me.

Then at almost exactly the 1 year mark, I broke out.

I called Resolve and they said it was "normal clearing symptoms" and that my body was getting rid of the HSV.

Did a blood test. HSV antibodies are present and at the same level as they were before.

Called Resolve back and they said the antibodies would always show up as present, and they attempted to sell me more product to help expedite my clearing of the virus.

I asked if they had ever had ANYONE completely cleared, and they avoided the question for the first 3 times I asked, talking about their product, talking about how every human is different, etc. On the fourth time I asked, they said that they couldn't answer me.

Now, today it's about a year and a half since I used the product; no further genital break outs, but my skin all over is breaking out from time to time with weird acne-like blisters but it's not acne. So my face, my arms, my fingers have all broken out with this weird pervasive bleeding fluid filled blistery thing. It's always just one blister, so I'm grateful for that. It takes a long time to go away.

I should say that my normal genital breakouts were not a huge issue to start with, mild to no symptoms, and maybe once every 2 or 3 years. When I went through menopause they increased, but that was hormonal. I went back onto acyclovir during the years I was in menopause to deal with it.

And that's it.

So does Resolve Minerals Detox work? I don't know, my antibodies are still at the same level and I've had some weird clearing issues just like they said I would have. I'm not thrilled with the uterine bleeding, and didn't know up front that this was a known side effect.

I'm going to opt not to do the detox again, as I don't want to end up with uterine cancer. My lining is definitely compromised and my guess is it's because of this stuff.

I hope my story helps anyone reading here.

Listen, I get it - having herpes can feel like a lousy deal. However, there is NOTHING - absolutely nothing - that cures herpes. No detox anything, no magic pills, no miracle formula. Take the money you would spend on this kind of crap and if you need to, get some help with accepting this. Herpes is not a huge deal, and most people will still have sex with you. If they don't, all it means is that you move on to the next one. It's the same as you having personal preferences in sex partners.

Read the Herpes Handbook - https://westoverheights.com/herpes/the-updated-herpes-handbook/ - learn all you can, and pass that info on to your partners. This is not worth causing potentially permanent damage to your body.

I did the Resolve Mineral Detox diligently. I had an HSV breakout again about a year later. It didn't work, but I didn't have any of the side effects that you did. I'm sorry you have to deal with that.
I think you meant that for the person who originally posted this. I never took it.

Thanks for updating us, though. It's good to hear from people who have tried things. :)

I'm considering the Mineral Detox because I recently contracted HSV 2. You mentioned the uterine bleeding is a known side effect and I was curious where you read about that?
