BERITA TEKNOLOGI ONLINE : The first documented evidence came from the times of
ancient Greece, around 450 BC. It was the Hippocrates which first wrote about
the physical symptoms of herpes.
In fact, it was from the ancient Greeks that the word
"herpes" originated, derived from the Greek word "herpein".
Herpein means to crawl and creep, a reference to the ways the herpes sores
migrate over an infected area.
In 1893, a French physician named Emile Vidal proved
for the first time that the herpes virus is transmitted from one person to
another. In 1896, a German physician named Paul Unna developed a way to
differentiate the herpes virus from syphilis under a microscope. In the 1900's,
a German ophthalmologist created a new test to determine the diagnosis of
herpes in a patient. It was then transmitted back to a human, confirming
diagnosis. This process was named the Grater test, which amazingly was used
until the 1940's to diagnose herpes.
The big breakthrough in treating herpes came in 1978
when the anti-viral medication Acyclovir was developed and test on human herpes
sufferers first took place. To date, there is no known cure for herpes,however,
simple changes in diet, lifestyle and taking supplements are proven to prevent
future herpes outbreaks. For a complete solution to your herpes outbreaks, just
