DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION

[0034] The inventor has invented in improved method of using allicin to supplement a human immune system during the onset of the prodromal phase of an Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV)-1 and/or HSV-2) episode (an episode has the same meaning as a outbreak), following the reactivation of HSV residing in the trigeminal ganglion, with a critical amount of allicin, thereby enabling the immune system to receive the amount of allicin needed at the time it is needed to effectively suppress the appearance of HSV symptoms expressed on the face (Herpes Labialis, commonly “cold sores”), comprised of a critical first dosage of no less than 7200 mcg (micrograms) and up to 12,000 mcg of allicin, ingested during the onset of the prodromal phase, followed by subsequently ingested critical dosages of no less than 3000 mcg and up to 4800 mcg in each of the said subsequent dosages until prodromal symptoms are no longer sensed. Note that mcg means micrograms Oral administering of allicin increases antimicrobial activity against herpes simplex virus (HSV-1 and/or HSV-2) in the body, thereby aiding the immune system. Methods of allicin administration, allicin pharmaceutical formulations, and allicin pharmaceutical dosage formulations disclosed in Ott, U.S. Pat. No. 8,222,299; and Chakraborty, U.S. Pat. No. 9,192,651 are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.

[0035] Referring now to the invention in more detail, shown in FIG. 1 flowchart illustrates a human host with previously contracted Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), wherein said virus resides latent in the trigeminal ganglion 10. Said virus is triggered or reactivated into replication and begins the onset of an HSV episode 12. Said virus travels along the host's nerve cell's axons to shed on the face (often the lips), becoming highly contagious 14 and is accompanied by sensations of tingling, itching, tenderness, which is the host's first indication of the prodromal phase of said virus and simultaneous need for initial critical dosage of allicin 16.

[0036] Host immediately ingests the initial critical dosage of no less than 7200 mcg of allicin and up to 12,000 mcg of allicin 18. Said initial critical dosage 18, leads to the host body's response, where a critical amount of allicin is introduced to the body at the critical time in the virus's progression 20, antimicrobial activity against herpes simplex virus (HSV-1 and/or HSV-2) is boosted 22 to supplement the body's immune system when the herpes simplex virus has exposed itself, but has not yet replicated enough to take an indefensible hold and express itself through symptoms, thereby suppressing the appearance of symptoms expressed as cold sores on the face 24. Subsequent critical dosages 26 are taken, where said subsequent critical dosages are comprised of no less than 3000 mcg of allicin and up to 4800 mcg of allicin, and ingested until prodromal sensations are no longer sensed.

[0037] Shown in FIG. 2 is a flowchart to illustrate said method of use of allicin in reference numbers 10-26 of FIG. 1, wherein said initial critical dosage is followed by a subsequent second critical dosage of no less than 3000 mcg and up to 4800 mcg of allicin 28. Said second dosage 28 is followed by a third critical dosage of no less than 3000 mcg and up to 4800 mcg of allicin 30. Said third critical dosage 30 is followed by a fourth critical dosage of no less than 3000 mcg and up to 4800 mcg of allicin 32. Said fourth critical dosage 32 is followed by a fifth critical dosage of no less than 3000 mcg and up to 4800 mcg of allicin 34. Said fifth critical dosage 34 is followed by a sixth critical dosage of no less than 3000 mcg and up to 4800 mcg of allicin 36. Said sixth critical dosage 36 is followed by a seventh critical dosage of no less than 3000 mcg and up to 4800 mcg of allicin 38. Said seventh critical dosage 38 is followed by an eighth critical dosage of no less than 3000 mcg and up to 4800 mcg of allicin 40. Said eighth critical dosage 40 is followed by a ninth critical dosage of no less than 3000 mcg and up to 4800 mcg of allicin 42. Said ninth critical dosage is followed by a tenth critical dosage of no less than 3000 mcg and up to 4800 mcg of allicin 44.
