TM62 (OP) User ID: 1427703 United States 08/04/2011 12:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hi OP Quoting: Jedda 508870I have had shingles twice so I sympathize with you. Luckily I have a girl friend who is a naturapath,after going to the doctor which was a waste of time she prescribed some things for me that were totally natural and worked.( for me anyway) I don't know if you can get this,but if you can it's called Lysine 1000. Just follow directions on the packet ( I took 1 tab a day) also you need VITAMIN C at least 6 tabs a day and Slippery Elm Bark capsules at least 6 a day until pain and itch starts to ease.A soothing cream won't go astray either Hope you feel better soon. Namaste Thank you first of all for your well wishes! Blessings to you. I have the lysine, been taking that and Vit D and a multivitamin on top of that, also taking aleve and ibuprofen for the pain. Seems to be handling it so far. The rash has not gotten any bigger since yesterday so I am fortunate, the pain was a little sick last night when I was trying to sleep last night, tonight I think I will take an ibuprofen before bed, that should do it with any luck. Thank you again love to you! Tina |

TM62 (OP) User ID: 1427703 United States 08/04/2011 12:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Once you have chicken pox, the virus sits in the base of the spine. For everyone. It can stay there for years and nothing can happen. But when your body gets over stressed, it's immune system degrades it down to the point when the shingle virus awakens and will look for the easiest way to surface and expose itself. It comes out as a form of herpes, which is the word nobody wants to ever hear, but it does. It will pick a half healed wound, a scratch, worse would be you eyes. It is very painful and has little relief of comfort during an outbreak. Medicines like Valtrex can shorten the life of the current exposure, but not cure it. Quoting: Wondering in azOver stress brings it on......sorry Valtrex. That's what my OB/GYN gave me for my shingles, OP. I remember now, because I felt a little embarrassed giving the Rx to the pharmacist after seeing those Valtrex for herpes commercials on TV. Hey Kim I bet that was embarrassing! People look at you like you were diseased or something, LOL. We do what we gotta do, especially to be healthy and being pregnant at the same time bet that was totally stressful. Glad all is well with you, love to you and thanks again for your help. |
TM62 (OP) User ID: 1427703 United States 08/04/2011 12:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am using homeopathic treatment, all the Doctors do for you is give you pain meds and an antiviral to lessen the time span of the outbreak. Quoting: TM62Uh... so what is the goal of your homeopathic treatment? Well so far like I said the rash has not spread any further, and I seem to be managing my pain, I guess I have achieved that goal at least. I know there isn't a cure for this, but since getting the vaccine as a child I suppose it was just a matter of time before any person of my generation gets this. That stinks, but all seems well for now. Thank you for asking, take care. Last Edited by TM62 on 08/04/2011 12:42 PM |

Quoting: KimsThankfulI've always been interested in homeopathic treatments. Maybe now would be a good time to start studying up on "local" remedies. You know, for when TSHTF... For sure, we definitely gotta be prepared for everything or anything! Blessings to you. |

TM62 (OP) User ID: 1427703 United States 08/04/2011 01:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | mind telling us how u bonehead? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 582428Its a long story and I believe everyone has to find out what works for them. I tried lots of stuf beginning with zovirax then switching to natural. A combination of oregano, aloe vera, honey kept the herpes in check for a couple of years. The cure came when I added olive leaf extract and took it for 2 weeks straight 2 times. This is now more then 5 years ago and it never came back. How much did you take of each ingredient? in what forms? Thanks for sharing, OP! OP here I took 300 grams of fresh aloe, 500grams of natural honey, 3 drops of oil of oregano, 4 shots of cognac, blended together. Take a shot 15 minutes before meals. This helped me getting rid of attacks. It didnt prevent but took care of breakouts. Then I read about olive leaf extract and its anti-viral properties. It said it was able to cure herpes. I am surrounded by olive trees and find them amazing! They are the strongest trees ever! So thinking about that strength I felt like trying the xtract. Oregano and aloe are anti viral as well, i guess thats why it cured my outbreaks but it never got rid of them. The olive however eradicated it from my system. At least the last 5 years. Even with flu´s, food poisoning, high fever... it never came back. So when I decided to go for it this is what I did; I took 300 grams of fresh aloe, 500grams of natural honey, 3 drops of oil of oregano, 4 shots of cognac, blended together. I added a couple of spoons of cayenne but that is optional. For people who cannot take alcohol however the cayenne is essential. Take a shot 15 minutes before meals. With the shot of this mixture I also took a shot of the olive extract I prepared. I did this for 2 weeks then stopped 10 days and repeated the process. I never took a test mind you, since I dont believe in tests that hook me up in the medical system for life. The same recipe taking out the honey is also good for auto immune diseases like diabetis, lupus... The olive extract I made using leaves and vodka. Thanx for asking Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1493911 Hope you don't mind me sharing the information on this link, you are a blessing and I totally concur with the OP of this other thread, that I do not want to be stuck in medical treatment ever! I like to feel that I do have control over my own health at least the majority of the time. You are most kind and helpful thank you Spain AC. Tons of blessings upon you!! |

TM62 (OP) User ID: 1427703 United States 08/04/2011 02:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Its common in men over 50 if you had chicken pox as a child. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1492336Crud. I had chicken pox twice as a young child. I just remember blisters and I dunno how they were treated.. :( I think you won't get it, cause you had your chicken pox the "normal" or natural way and not by injection, like myself before the 1970's. You will be fine, I know my kids didn't have the vaccine either, thank you Creator!! Glad they will never have to go through this. I actually got the shot back in 1967, wow that was a crazy long time ago, doesn't even seem real. |
