Genital herpes is a disease caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1). Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) usually causes oral herpes. Symptoms are commonly known as cold sores or fever blisters. In the past, HSV-1 was not known to cause genital herpes, but that is changing, especially among people who begin having sex at a young age. Type 2 (HSV-2) usually causes genital herpes. When it's active, it travels to the surface of the infected area and makes copies of itself, this is called shedding. It is during this time that the virus can rub off onto another person. Then the virus travels back down the nerve, where it lies dormant for a while. Who Gets Genital Herpes? About one-fifth of all people aged 12 and up in the U.S. are infected with the HSV-2 virus that causes genital herpes, but as many as 90% don't know it. Experts estimate 50% to 80% of adults have oral herpes.

Pregnant women with the disease can spread it to their baby. This disease, called congenital syphilis, can cause abnormalities or even death to the child. Syphilis is a highly contagious disease spread primarily by sexual activity, including oral and anal sex. The disease can be passed to another person through prolonged kissing or close bodily contact with an infected person. The infected person is often unaware of the disease and unknowingly passes it on to their sexual partner. Syphilis has also been called the mimic disease because its symptoms can imitate those of other diseases. What Causes Syphilis? Syphilis is caused by the bacteria Treponema pallidum.

Gonorrhea is a contagious disease transmitted most often through sexual contact with an infected person. Gonorrhea may also be spread by contact with infected bodily fluids, so that a mother could pass on the infection to her newborn during childbirth. Both men and women can get gonorrhea. The infection is easily spread and occurs most often in people who have many sex partners. Gonorrhea is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a bacterium that can grow and multiply easily in mucus membranes of the body. Gonorrhea bacteria can grow in the warm, moist areas of the reproductive tract, including the cervix, uterus and fallopian tubes in women, and in the urethra in women and men. The bacteria can also grow in the mouth, throat, and anus. Gonorrhea is a very common infectious disease. In the U.S. each year, about 700, 000 people are infected with gonorrhea.

We are different from traditional medical clinics in that, instead of looking just for symptom relief to problems considered untreatable, we look to find and address the factors that make a person's body prone to dysfunction in the first place. For those who are committed to recovery, the therapeutic potential of this approach is practically limitless. Default medical treatments and drug prescription for illness and disease usually do not take into account all the options you have. This narrow-minded, blanketed approach to medicine unfortunately neglects alternative therapies which quite often empower the body to act as its own self-healing mechanism. Understanding why, not just how, your body is reacting to illness and disease, is key to targeted treatment and prevention of future symptoms.
