The research question to be addressed is whether indirect phototherapy based activation of the body's alternative cellular energy (ACE) pathway will lead to expedited healing of active herpes simplex virus (HSV) and herpes zoster virus (HZV)skin lesions, and also possibly inhibit both latent HSV infections and residual HZV infections.
