Your Questions About Shingles

admin answers:

First, I am not a medical professional. But my hubby had shingles last fall and we found out that they DO NOT go away by themselves! In fact, they will get worse and worse unless treated with acyclovir (Valtrex) or a similar drug. Please urge your parents to get grandma to a doctor…this is a terrible, painful disease.

1. Cayenne Pepper To The Rescue
Many people love hot, spicy foods that are made with Cayenne Pepper. You may even love its hotness too. Taken internally this pepper has a lot of beneficial health effects. Used as an ointment, Cayenne Pepper is a natural treatment for Shingles. It can help relieve the itchiness, pain and discomfort. Simply mix a bit of it in with a soothing body lotion. Apply this mixture onto the area that’s affected by Shingles every four to six hours.

2. Apple Cider Vinegar Can Work Wonders
Just like Cayenne Pepper, Apple Cider Vinegar has a myriad of healthful uses. It can used as a liniment for Shingles. Just dab Apple Cider Vinegar on the affected area several times a day. Use it at night if the symptoms wake you up! It should relieve the pain and heal the red spots or blisters.

Or, you can take Apple Cider Vinegar internally for the natural treatment of Shingles. Pour two tablespoons of this type of vinegar in an eight-ounce glass of tap water. If you don’t like the taste of this mixture, add a little jelly or honey to sweeten the taste. Drink this mixture twice a day and see if it doesn’t help relieve your symptoms.

3. Oatmeal Isn’t Just For Breakfast
Oatmeal tastes great for breakfast, but have you ever applied it to that annoying area of Shingles? Mix up some plain, uncooked oatmeal with a bit of water until it forms a paste. Apply the paste to your red spots or blisters. Oatmeal is a natural treatment for this viral illness because it soothes burning skin irritations and relieves itching.

You can also pour some uncooked oatmeal in your bathtub too. Fill it with cool water and swish the oatmeal around. Then, soak the affected area of your body in the oatmeal-water.

4. Are Your Vitamins Working For You?
You probably already take a multi-vitamin every day, but is it specially-formulated to help reduce stress? A natural treatment for Shingles is to take a multi-vitamin that’s rich in stress-busters like B Complex Vitamins, Vitamin E, and C.

5. Use Stress Reduction Methods
Since stress and anxiety are also believed to cause an itchy, painful outbreak of Shingles, you can use stress-reduction methods to relieve yourself of these annoying symptoms. These natural treatments for Shingles include meditation,
Yoga, and deep-breathing exercises. Check your phone book for classes located near you.

One of the best things she can do is to go to the health food store and buy lots of Blue-Green Algae and take that. It shortens the duration of the problem. Also, Oleuropin (olive leaf extract) breaks the reproductive cycle of viruses and taking lots of this will help as well.

There are NO antibiotics that work for this problem because the germ is a virus. Antibiotics turn on the “B” cells of the humoral immune system in the body. Since the “B” cells and the “T” cells are reciprocal, when you turn on the “B” cells to produce macrophages out of white cells, it turns OFF the “T” cells. “T” cells are what fight viral infections and cancer cells.

I would not take ANY drugs for this problem because all drugs damage the body, especially the liver.

Good luck to you
