Fever Blister or Cold Sore shows a deficiency!

A "cold sore" is from a deficiency of lysine and amino acids found in protein.

Because the body does not manufacture L-lysine, the only source of the amino acid is food or supplementation. L-lysine is found in red meat, chicken, fish, eggs and Parmesan cheese. Vegetarians may have an L-lysine deficiency if they don't get adequate levels of L-lysine from soy-based products, nuts and whole grains. Most legumes are high in L-lysine, as are the grains amaranth and quinoa, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center.

Here's a list of some other things that contribute to a lysine deficiency. Lack of sleep, too much chocolate, eating too many peas, and lack bacteria in the gut.

Poor Digest of Protein
As a we age, we produce less of the enzymes necessary to digest protein. According to Dr. Jonathan Wright, supplements of hydrochloric acid with pepsin can be highly beneficial. I also say always take digestive enzymes with every meal that has protein in it. Even better take enzymes every meal even if it does not have meat, nuts or raw milk cheese.
