◦ Food Based Vitamin C: About 2000 mg spread over the course of the day.
◦ Zinc: 50mg daily for the first two days.

- Take 1 tablespoon of elderberry syrup up to four times per day.
*Stay hydrated. Stay away from caffeine because it can dehydrate you.

I WAS CURED OF HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS BY DR WATER, THE GREAT HERBALIST. 🌿☘️
i am so happy to share this testimony with the world because generally there are so many doubts about the cure of HERPES simplex virus. This is real take it serious, my name is HENRIETTE AMUNAZO and i am so happy that today i can give this testimony to the world and also help people who has been condemned just as i was. Who will believe that a herb can cure HERPES completely from the body?, i never believed that this will work, i have spend a lot of money getting drugs from the hospital to supress outbreaks, it got to a time that all i was wanted was death to come because i was broke and i already have strong outbreaks from the herpes virus. One day i was going through the internet asking questions online just to know more about the latest development in the medical sector to see if there is still hope then i stumbled on a post about this great man called DR WATER through an online friend who publicly made a testimony on how she was also cured of herpes simplex virus 2 by this herbal doctor who is well known for his strong ancient herbal practice for HERPES, HIV, WARTS and CANCER cure. At first i doubted both the woman and the doctor just as so many that see’s this post would doubt because medically it has been proven impossible but later i decided to give him a try so i emailed him. I did not believe him that much, I just wanted to give him a try. He replied my mail and needed some Information about me, then I sent them to him, he prepared a herbal medicine (CURE) and sent it through Online Courier Service for delivery. He gave my details to the Courier Office. They told me that 3-5 days I will receive the package and after receiving it, i took the medicine as prescribed by him at the end of 13days that the medcine lasted, he told me to go to the hospital for a test, and i went, surprisingly after the test the doctor confirm me Herpes simplex virus free, i thought it was a joke, i went to other hospitals and was also confirmed herpes free, i will say it was like a miracle. I waited to see if i will get any outbreaks again and its been 2 months now, i have not experienced any outbreak. Thank you sir for saving my life even if you cannot see this post, i shall never stop testifying the impact you made in my life by restoring back my life when i was being stigmatized and even avoided by family and friends. I promise I will always testify of your good works. if you have herpes simplex virus, HIV patient, Diabetes, human papilloma virus or genital warts, contact him and I am sure you will get cured, contact him via:

I have been suffering from (HERPES) disease for the last four years and had constant pain, especially in my knees. During the first year, I had faith in God that I would be healed someday. This disease started to spread all over my body and I was been taking treatment from my family doctor. Few weeks ago, I was searching on the Internet if I could get any information concerning a better treatment to this disease. On my search, I saw a testimony of someone who has been healed of HPV (Genital Warts) by this Dr.Water and she also gave the email address of this man and advise we should contact him for any sickness, that he would be of help. So I wrote to DR.WATER telling him about my HERPES outbreaks. He told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! hmm i never believed it. Well i followed through with the procedures and got his remedy few days later. I started experiencing changes all over me as the Doctor had promised and assured me. After some time i went to my family doctor to confirmed if I have been truly healed. Behold it was true, i was healed and no traces of the virus in my body anymore. So friends i am here to also share my story and authenticate the name DR.WATER as a genuine and confirmed healer of herpes and even other diseases like HIV, Diabetes, warts, cancer, hepatitis and others. My advice is if you have such sickness or any other illness you can email DR.WATER on Drwaterhivcurecentre@gmail.com, sir I am indeed grateful for the help I will forever recommend you to my friends!!! you can also WhatsApp him on this number +2349050205019
