Behavioral Adaptation

In the parking lot of McDonald’s in Alamogordo, New Mexico, I observe a Great-tailed Grackle.

The bird approaches the side of a sedan, peers up at the fender, and walks along the edge until it spots the bumper. It hops up, views the trunk, and then flies over the car to land on the front bumper. The grackle pokes its head into the grill and emerges with an insect. It cocks its head to the side, pokes its beak into the grill again, and again emerges with an insect.

In a semi-arid desert in the middle of a drought, I had thought birds would be struggling to find enough food and moisture, but this spry grackle has made an invaluable discovery! Parked cars have grills coated with insect remains.

At twentythree, I was diagnosed with hsv2. After the initial outbreak, I was symptom free for nearly twenty years. However, in my early fourty, I began experiencing regular outbreaks along with heightened forgetfulness and anxiety. Alongside these issues, I faced low energy, reduced muscle mass, leg weakness, cramps, and nausea, which all seemed to appear at the same time.
Despite my efforts with antiviral medications, they did not work well for me. I tried avoiding high arginine foods, took lysine, garlic supplements, and multivitamins, and even underwent Hormone Replacement Therapy, but nothing provided relief. My situation turned into a living nightmare.
April 2024 became a turning point in my life when I discovered Dr Utu Herbal Cure. Initially skeptical, I found a forum where individuals shared positive testimonials about this remarkable traditional African herbal doctor. They provided an email to reach him, and I decided to contact Dr Utu for assistance with my condition.
Upon reaching out, I filled out a form detailing my situation as he requested. Dr Utu assured me that I would be fine and prepared a herbal cure for me, which I followed diligently. Even before completing the treatment, I began to feel revitalized. I noticed a profound restoration in my overall health. During this time, all my symptoms disappeared, which I promptly reported to Dr Utu. He encouraged me to finish the treatment.
After completing the treatment, I felt compelled to take a herpes test for my peace of mind. When the results came back, I was overjoyed to learn that I tested negative for both hsv1 and hsv2. I am now completely cured and living a vibrant, fulfilling life free from medication.

I got an infection called HSV2 in my eye and mouth from semen. It was a big surprise because I didn't know it could spread that way. I had a lot of pain and a rash in my right eye and mouth for two weeks. I thought it might be herpes, so I got tested and found out I had HSV2.
I started taking lysine and other supplements, but not valtrex because I heard it could make my outbreaks worse if I stopped taking it. After a month, I also used eye drops, painkillers, and other treatments to prevent blindness. I tried everything I could for two years, but nothing really helped. I was worried about losing my eyesight and hearing because I heard herpes can spread from the eye to the ears.
The thought of losing my eye and hearing was really scary, and it was starting to affect my mental health. I tried to stay positive and went to seminars and other events to help my mental health. One day, someone I called Godsent saw my sores and realized they were herpes. She told me about a herbal cure called Dr Utu Herbal Cure that had helped her when she was in a similar situation. She gave me Dr. Utu email address:

I wrote to Dr. Utu, and he told me his treatment would get rid of the herpes forever. I decided to try it because I was so worried about my mental health. He gave me a four week herbal treatment plan, and after following it, I felt better. I got tested again to make sure, and the results were negative. Now I can live my life without worrying about losing my eyesight or hearing.
I no longer feel depressed or anxious, and I'm really happy with Dr. Utu's Herbal Cure. It has helped me get my life back
