Teenage girl who has never had a boyfriend because of her chronic, disfiguring cold sores finds a 'near cure' with a £7.95 liquorice balm

I'm reading about this a lot. You have a health problem, go to several different doctors, spend months or years trying different cures, taking all kind of proprietary engineered pharmaceutical products and nothing really helps you, then one day, you find info on line, or from someone who heard about similar troubles someone had, to try something cheap, off shelf and it works. I will write soon about my friend troubles and what helped in that case.

This girl was battling cold sores for many years. None of the medications helped her enough, cold sore sometimes spread on lower lip also and into the nose. Every several weeks. And pharmacy industry could not help her. Until she learned and tried one cheap product, that is freely available for purchase: Licorice Balm and her troubles are now under control and she can finally have normal teenager life.

Here are two links, where you can read the whole story in detail:
