THIS IS NOT MEDICAL, BUT FROM PRACTICAL, REASONED, LIVED EXPERIENCE
If this has not been you, feel lucky.
BUT – you may know someone who feels like death warmed up presently.
Who wishes to know what o do to hasten healing
Or – to not go here at all.
AS ALWAYS – I am me. As a decades ago ‘hard cases’ person, (when all else failed) – this is ME the therapist – taking over as me the patient – to get better.
These comments may upset some – I am not part of the religious dogma from the cult of scientism/medicalisation. I took psychics and chemistry at school, aiming to go onto medicine. I am glad I deviated into common sense and living in a full life. I look for what works and why things may not. If I cannot prove the theory – (whatever it is) wrong – it likely is right. I do not accept at face value; l and I suggest that you also use critical thinking.
Shingles
Sometimes, unless something comes my way, I ignore, as I have too much else to contend with. I am sure all resonate. Shingles (herpes zoster) disturbed me severely in August, 2021 and again in May 2025. Thus, had all I needed (and assumed was there to assist others not me again). Here I am diving in to help those who find themselves similarly afflicted. I am grateful shingles was not on my body, and I hope that I do not have to deal with this. If you wish to find hypericum oil – that would be the ‘go to’ to use topically,. (See herbals later). as it usually shows up, but in my head – eye /ocular shingles.
I aim in sharing this natural health detective’s perspective, to give those who seek to find more options as what happened to me was dealt with simply – through knowing to do everything at once – and to rest to allow my body to get over this.
1 – No one should get shingles – we have an immune system
2 – We should not get it AGAIN) see reason 1
3 – As we are not designed to be exposed to the myriad and increasing amount of toxic (anti life) substances we are, bodies all have a point where the camel’s back breaks.
And then this may happen
This is why I go into three components here
Only ill people get sick. We have an innate system that keeps us well. It has been corrupted by the retail fear based grooming that starts prior to conception now, so very few have escaped the ‘need’ to add in bits of all other living things and the poisons to arch up our bodies to make it defend when it is the wrong time, wrong vector and definitely not in the interests of anyone to have this non proven theory play out on everyone. And often with so many added in at once.
1 – Stay well
2 – Acute repair and recovery
3 – Preventative living – now you are ‘on notice’.
These will be intertwined with the story of ‘my shingles
NOTE – The info written for general consumption online and elsewhere in medical literature starts with is based on assumption. That keeps getting spread. I write non-medically. The common medical answer given when asked how something happens is “we don’t know” /” more research needed”. I suspect the same applies here.
WHAT is shingles? Standard medical answer acc to online sources Shingles, also known as herpes zoster (HZ), is a medical condition caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV). VZV also causes chickenpox.
WHY? – Body is overwhelmed and as usual, whilst it is sending out the heat toxin to the skin, there is a lot going on. This is crucial as when we wish to know what to do – we know dilution is the key, whilst not adding in more heat. Using a different health model of care, we in East Asian medicine would get rid of the heat in the blood and all would then need a tonic to undo what the process did, plus enhance normal ability to adapt to change – my definition of health.
WHO GETS IT? – . If you’ve ever had chickenpox, VZV can remain dormant in your body and cause shingles later in life – apparently at least 1 in 3 Americans. Herpes zoster/ shingles is not contagious, though I suspect it is shed thus spread, through/by anyone who has had an injection that contains any aspect of the virus /venom that is freely touted as being the saviour for all health issues. I say this as the inverse of almost all said medically seems to be taken as ‘the truth’.
WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE? The primary symptom of shingles is an extremely painful, burning, and/or tingling rash. Would depend on individuals, but if you have had herpes simplex I (cold sores) or herpes II – genital – the same weird wrongness applies – but amplified. Herpes II here and here.
From East Asian medical model – the itching is due to inner heat creating wind. (See my Pricklies courses TBA date of completion). Clear the heat . .
HOW CAN YOU TELL IMMEDIATELY? Something is wrong and accelerates – it does not go away if you attempt to ignore it. In shingles, it is a clear demarcation – only on one side of the body, and with discrete barriers. ‘There’ and not ‘here’. Initially you may not have blisters. In my case, we had the body reaction to whatever was inside my head/eye area.
HEAT – redness, and watering – as fluid is there to protect the vulnerable tissues. The congestion and the prickling/wrongness in the case of in the head add up to a lot of fluid accumulating (DAMP in all forms) thus, inability to think, and woozy on feet – as there is obstruction secondarily.
Body is definitely wrong – and it gets worse fast. I tried all herbal and supplemental and all else – but I feel we need to have the pharma anti virals, as the strong back up – not the 200 strength, as with the herpes II, but 500 or 800 mg strength – and taken diligently. I took 800 mg every four hours, Some get to take 2 x 500mg strength – I needed more as eyes are eyes.
in my first shingles attack, as it was at least a week prior to beginning the pharma anti virals needed, the illness duration was probably lengthened, plus my body reaction to the drug was extreme – I needed help to stay upright. I was not keen to take it again in the second attack, but it was powering ahead regardless of my attempts to hone it down. Even with the medications and all I was doing, it did peak, but did not win against all the efforts taken on all levels – plus rest. I did nothing but self-medicate and rest.
WHAT TO DO? How I got out of the trouble I could have had
Get rid of why the problem exists: do not ‘wait it out’ and feel hopeless.
What I did was understand not through the biomedical name, but what it was (heat toxin in the head in my case) and undo the manifestations.
Apparently, we get it (only?) if we have had chicken pox before – there are vast holes in this ‘logic’. Following it back – Live – attenuated vaccines use a weakened form of the virus (whole agent) is in the chicken pox vaccine.. It is then giving the shingles to you for later – as how many have seen chicken pox – or felt it. It is my contention that we are being kept in trouble. We could ask – how many of the injectables are adding in more – as the shedding that I definitely get (herpes over and over) from being in the presence of the recipients of the experimental gene modification are giving me repeat performances that last weeks, not days, or instantly gone as I had had in the past. An d not when ‘run down’ – but when I am in their presence. I do feel like a canary in the coal mine – a cautionary tale for others.
They say “if it is so mild you may not know you have had it”, which I doubt, as it is extremely itchy, I can’t see why taking the shingles vax could assist (as some get the shingles from the jab) – listed a side effect!). Most have not been exposed to chicken pox – unless what is being shed from those who have had the vaxx, as in times past, those who had had chicken pox were reintroduced to it as kids around got it every few years so all were ‘covered’.
And now we have 1 in 3 Americans expected to have shingles in their lives – when I was working in the late 1970’s/early 80’s I hardly saw a one. And they would have come in as there were at that state no modern anti-inflammatories, anti virals, or pain medications that would touch this. I did see an occasional post hepatic trigeminal neuralgia, but these dried up when the medications came on board.
FIRST ATTACK – AUGUST 21
Felt as though my eye was being pushed diagonally from the top right to the inner canthus – bottom of that eye socket. Felt weirdly wrong – not itchy, but as if something was in there. This was accompanied by watering, and photophobia – eye shut for weeks, as it swelled, was bright red from the top outer edge (if you could see it), plus constant tearing. This was accompanied by wrong full feelings, that crescendoed into a clear line of half my nose, several of the top teeth ‘singing’ to me – feeling numbish, and the area above my right ear hurting in a full way. I twigged eventually that this was shingles – and the nerve feelings were distracting enough to wake me up.
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF
Is it crossing the midline? (No)
Is it intermittent? (Yes)
Does it feel stabby? (Yes)
Also may have a funny sore throat/feel ‘off’ – but only on that side affected. Skin may feel increasingly more sensitive.
WHAT IS THIS? – Spoken in away that we can then back out of it.
INNER HEAT WITH STUCK BLOOD CHARACTERISTICS
ACTION – easy – undo the Inner Heat and the Stuck Blood – esp why they are there
And undo what their being there has created
HERBAL ANTI VIRALS – Panaxea AV/AT acute – 3 is a dose – EVERY HOUR. Of course you need to have these as a First Aid
I was also taking 2 Regen x 3 daily and when I was even half an hour late – I could feel myself going downhill. That product also clears STUCK BLOOD.
Reiki and needling the points to help (I felt did not a lot – but then – how much worse could it have gotten? All else was on hold, as I attempted to stay present and upright. In the head is not recommended. I was taking by then bulk Vit C (coats the virus, calms the entire stress reaction in body down), Panaxea’s AV/AT – three every hour), olive leaf extract and l – lysine (2 many times daily), Hypericum tablets – 3 times at least 10 daily (to stop viral replication), my usual B and D3 dosages, 3 lots of glutathione accelerator daily – not the usual one dose of 6 capsules), multiple magnesium topical applications and generally laid low. As well as the Acyclovir (800 mg strength).
Panaxea ReGen – 2 x 3 That is specifically helping with the blood problems that stab in the dark gifts all of us – actually jabbed or not.
Is in East Asian medicine as Blood Heat from/turning into Blood Stagnation – (stabbing fixed location pain). Also for clearing the causative factor – the spikes that are getting all of us – jabbed or innocent bystanders and this is after. Likely you have had no EXTRA stresses. If so, this may show up as being worse.
1 – Ideally – daily acupuncture – I did myself – Co4, Liv 2) and opposite Tai Yang and Yin Tang (local as was in my head) To calm and enhance healing – not directly for the lesion.
2 – More Glutathione accelerator (CLICK here to learn more). Dosage is usually 6 in the morning with food. Now in acute stage – THREE lots of 6 instead of one dose daily.
3 – More topical magnesium on body. This is maybe TWENTY applications – and all over large muscles – can only help.
4 – Hypericum – St John’s Wort – oil on lesion, tablets I took 30 daily of what says 1 a day.5 – Negative ion pad on affected side neck, and possibly on top of – with hypericum oil
6 – Photo therapy patches – the second occurrence I relied heavily on these.
7 – More doses of Vit C liposomic daily (from 2 daily to 5x daily)
8 – Vit B complex 1/2 tablet x 3 daily not only once daily.
9 – Homeopathics – also have some very diluted – Lachesus.
10 – More rest (too being ‘taken out’ means one has not listened to the body saying ) ENOUGH – now I really put you on notice!!!
I kept adding in more extras, I wanted to get better FAST.
Only had five days of the 800 Acyclovir, and no one would prescribe more. I was grateful that I had the other helpers as extra assistance.
It felt like it took me months to come back to me. Of course there were other factors. Almost as soon as I was OK – I hit the deck with the stair incident, which I am 3.5 years later, still recovering from. In eth interim, there appeared interstitial cystitis- I will wirte also on this. Back to shingles. . . . .
SECOND ATTACK – MAY 2025
Variation of above – I got onto it a lot faster, had the 800 mg strength Acyclovir and diligently took one ever 4 hours. I was not sleeping that well, so was easy. In addition, i used the patches (see me if you wish to know more).
