Overcoming Shingles Symptoms

We hired a contractor to redo the roof, should we go after them to fix it?

Seems as though the contractor used sub-standard materials.Most shingles, fiberglass or not do carry a warranty. Most run 15 to 25 years. I would call the original contractor and inquire, have them inspect, then go from there. Also contact your home insurance company and inform them of the problem.

if the blisters is gone and new skin is being produce is it the end of the shingles, cause chinese physicians said i cant eat any meat and morning afternoon night all i eat is bread bread bread. can i eat meat now?

I’ve heard that stress can cause shingles, and I think vitamin C helps.

how do you get shingles is it contagious by touch, or is it an after affect of the chicken pox. i got them on my feet and ankles when i deveoped a nasty skin ulcer from diabetes. are they related??

Chicken pox is caused by the Herpes Simplex virus. Once the chicken pox is gone the virus remains in your system and can reappear as Shingles. Anyone who has not had Chicken Pox or the vaccine for Chicken Pox can get Chicken Pox if they come in direct contact with the fluid in the blisters you have with Shingles. You can get Shingles more than once. When your immune system is low it’s easier to get Shingles, which is probably why you got them when you had the skin ulcer due to diabetes. There is a new vaccine that people who have had Chicken Pox can get so that if they do get Shingles it will be a mild case, but once you have Shingles the vaccine won’t help you.

for shingles and the dreadful pain that goes with it.

Shingles is very painful and there is no cure. The medical community has just come out with a vaccine for shingles. Problem is you cannot already have suffered from it to have the vaccine. There are some alternative medicines out there for
shingles, but none that are very effective. The pain is from the nerve endings – and it is extremely painful. Here are a few herbals that may help to relieve the pain:

L-Lysine can be taken by mouth at the first sign of symptoms. This amino acid can reduce the severity of outbreaks by inhibiting virus replication.

Lemon balm oil or peppermint oil. Both oils have a “direct kill effect” on skin viruses. Apply to affected areas to soothe pain and reduce blistering. Mix nine parts coconut oil as the carrier to one part of the treatment oil.

Capsaicin cream can be applyed after blisters have healed, this cream can relieve lingering pain by acting as a counterirritant.

the Lyrica has taken care of my sharp Paine looking for relief from sensitive and sore feet

There are no natural cures. If you see any advertised, they are scams and some can actually be harmful. Cymbalta and Lyrica are the two most popular and effective drugs. However, Lyrica can cause sometimes cause considerable weight gain. Keeping your blood sugars in good control can help some. I quit taking Lyrica because it made it impossible for me to function properly during the day, I was like a zombie, even when the doctor lowered the dosage.

Anti viral drugs, calamine lotion and time…get well soon

Hi Hannes

I like the question and here you go.

Cause
Shingles can be due to chicken pox (in children), pleurisy, Bell`s palsy, herpes simplex, appendicitis, colic, gallstones, colitis, trigeminal neuralgia, or contact dermatitis. All of these conditions must be screened for and, if present, properly treated to provide lasting relief from shingles.

Caution: Shingles eruptions that last longer than two weeks can be a sign of underlying immune problems or cancer (particularly Hodgkin`s disease), and therefore require immediate medical attention. In addition, see an ophthalmologist immediately if herpes zoster occurs near the eyes or on the forehead, as it can cause blindness.

Natural Cures

Aromatherapy: Massage the essential oils of lemon, geranium, bergamot, eucalyptus, tea tree, lavender, or chamomile along the affected area.

Cleanse: be sure to do a colon/liver cleanse to rid of the toxins.

Diet: Eat an organic, whole foods diet that emphasizes fresh fruits and vegetables and minimizes carbohydrates (avoiding refined carbohydrates and sugars altogether).

Flower Essences: Crab Apple.

Herbs: Combine equal parts of oat straw, St. John`s wort, and skullcap tinctures and take one teaspoon of this mixture four times a day. Peppermint oil applied topically can also help reduce pain, unless the skin is excessively dry, in which case it is contraindicated.

Homeopathy: Useful homeopathic remedies include Arsen alb., Rhus tox., Sepia, Natrum mur., Hepar sulph., Caladium, and Acidum nit.

Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. I suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments.

Juice Therapy: Drink carrot and celery juice with one tablespoon of parsley juice once or twice each day.

Nutritional Supplementation: At the first sign of outbreak, apply zinc oxide along the path of the affected nerve area two to three times daily. Other helpful nutrients include L-lysine, vitamin B-complex, vitamin B12, BHT, calcium, and high doses of vitamin C plus bioflavonoids. Topical application of vitamin E can also be helpful. Snake vaccine made from venom has also been known to take away the pain of shingles.

Topical Treatment: Apply apple cider vinegar to the affected area.

Alternative Professional Care
If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating shingles: Acupuncture, Biofeedback Training, Detoxification Therapy, Energy Medicine (Light Beam Generator, Ondamed, TENS), Magnetic Field Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, Neural Therapy, Orthomolecular Medicine (Vitamin B12 injections combined with adenosine monophosphate), Oxygen Therapy (Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy, Ozone), and Reflexology.

Best of health to you
