Therapeutic Uses
In adults, infection by the virus herpes zoster can cause a condition known as shingles. The initial shingles attack generally abates in a couple of weeks, but symptoms can go on to become chronic. This condition is called post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN). Some evidence hints that people with herpes zoster infection may have lower than normal levels of AMP. On this slim basis, AMP has been studied as a possible treatment for initial shingles symptoms as well as for preventing PHN.
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 32 people with shingles, AMP was injected three times a week for 4 weeks. 1 At the end of the 4-week treatment period, 88% of those treated with AMP were pain free versus only 43% in the placebo group; all participants still in pain were then given AMP, and no recurrence of pain was reported in 3 to 18 months of follow-up.
However, this was a preliminary study, and more evidence is needed before AMP can be considered a proven treatment for shingles or PHN. Furthermore, oral AMP has not been tried for this condition. It is questionable whether AMP taken orally actually makes it intact into the body.
Another study found weak evidence that injected AMP might be helpful for cold sores . 2 However, this study was not a double-blind trial; it was an open study , in which the placebo effect and other confounding factors could have played a major role. For that reason, its results cannot be relied upon at all. (For information on why double-blind studies are essential to prove a treatment effective, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies? )
Another open study hints that AMP, this time in an oral form, might be helpful for people with excessive sensitivity to the sun ( photosensitivity ) associated with a condition called porphyria cutanea tarda. 3

My name is Olisa Blessing, I am so happy. I never think I will be this comfortable again in life. I have worked as an air hostess ( cabin crew ) for 3years but early this year, I lost my job because of this deadly disease called Herpes virus (HSV). I never felt sick or notice any symptoms. Not until the day all workers were asked to bring their doctors report card, that was how I got tested and I found out that I'm HSV positive and that made me lose my job because it was considered as an STD and is an incurable disease. I was so depressed that I started thinking of suicide. I explained my situation to an older friend of mine, who often said to me 'a problem shared is a problem half solved. She felt so pity for me that she referred me to Dr. Utu Herbal Cure, that was how I contacted Dr. Utu and got the medication from him and was cured for real. I went back to my work a month later with another HSV negative test result and they carried out another test to be very sure and they found out I am negative. Finally, the initial test was replaced with a negative result and my position was restored to me with an apology letter and a salary increment. Beware of impersonators, Dr. Utu can only be reached at: drutuherbalcure@gmail.com
