Great point about Echinacea. It really helps bolster my immune system but doesn't seem to affect my clusters.
Actually, I was thinking that since the herpes virus lives dormant in the nerves of the face, i.e. the trigeminal nerve that its awakening and subsequent traveling from deep in trigeminal nerve to extremities like lips could somehow disrupt pain signals in trigeminal nerve. Just a thought.
