Product Description
Making Peace with Herpes is possibly the most thought-provoking and original book ever written on the subject of herpes. Christopher Scipio started off as a victim of the virus and transformed himself into one of the most experienced holistic practitioners who treats herpes in North America. He is an outspoken advocate of treatment without drug therapy. While it is a subject that many people would rather avoid, Scipio points out that 60% of the sexually active population in North America has either herpes simplex 1 or 2. “70% of the people who have it either don't know they have it, won't admit they have it or are not treating it,” Scipio explains “For some people having herpes can make you feel like a leper. There are no public fundraisers or celebrity spokespersons championing the cause of herpes. In fact you would be hard-pressed to get anyone to admit in public that they have ‘the gift.’ “ “The good news and the ironic news is that herpes is one of the easiest diseases to manage naturally. There is absolutely no need for drug-therapy for herpes. This book isn’t just about how to have fewer outbreaks or how to stop having outbreaks; just doing that isn’t enough to be healthy. This book is about holistically healing your herpes and living a healthy, happy and balanced life. Holistic health is about much more than making symptoms go away.” Making Peace with Herpes is a must read for everyone. Whether you have herpes, are in a relationship with someone with herpes or you just want to educate yourself on the worlds fastest growing pandemic; it’s a self-empowerment guide of the first order. |

Making Peace with Herpes by S. Sylvia  2 Stars
April 25, 2009
It was nice to read about someone else's story, but truthfully, the book is repetitive and doesn't provide that much new information. The same few things are repeated over and over again. Although I understand that repetition can provide emphasis, this was simply redundant. I got it the first three times... Beside that, the book seems more like a pitch to purchase his remedies than anything else since each source in the book refers back to something he is selling. I was hoping for a "deeper" experience from this book but didn't get it.

Useful Information by Cindy S. (Mt. Cobb, PA USA)  3 Stars
December 12, 2008
In a constant search to help decrease the number of herpes out breaks I had every year, I purchased this book. It had a lot useful information, however, some of it was a little too much for me. Many of the products discussed had to be ordered directly from the author. I was able to find some of them in my local health food store. I still use the concepts and ideas presented in the book. Through a combination of these ideas and many lifestyle changes, I am happy to say that I have been outbreak free for several months!

Excellent Holistic Guide for Herpes Treatment by Holistic Lisa (Southern Utah) 5 Stars
January 27, 2008
If you are looking for an alternative to staying on damaging Herpes drugs for the rest of your life, along with a means to enhancing your attacked immune system and coming to true terms with a lifelong STD, this book is a must read. As stated in this book, you have 3 options if you have Herpes: stay on drugs (which does not help your immune system or build your resistance to outbreaks, and has other costly side effects over time), do nothing (which is unethical), or treat your Herpes holistically, which is just as effective if not more so than drugs in controlling outbreaks, and also provides lasting health benefits. Please, read this book before staying on drugs or purchasing all the so-called natural remedies littering the Internet (and sponsored by your favorite pharmaceutical company). Read it for education alone. Read it even if you don't have Herpes but are sexually active.

The only book you need to understand living with herpes by Charlotte in San Diego 5 Stars
July 15, 2007
Christopher's book was a life saver. It is informative, it responded to my doubts and fears, it answered my questions. It showed me a way to live with herpes holistically. It taught me to think positively about something that was making me very negative.
I have given the book to several family members and friends who have herpes and they have loved it too. I highly recommend this book.
