Of course, I would use CS internally and topically for Shingles. (I would also zap with a zapper.)
I took the liberty of attaching a post by Brooks and another paragraph about lysine. Dan LYSINE HAS A SUPPRESSANT AFFECT ON BOTH TYPES OF HERPES SIMPLEX Lysine has a suppressant affect on both types of Herpes Simplex (Type 1 & Type 2). It also is effective with Herpes Zoster (Shingles), canker sores, measles and chicken pox, which are viral cousins. In addition to taking 1,000 mg, 3xday of Lysine, it is essential to avoid the foods that contain the amino acid that promotes the Herpes virus and its cousins, which is called Arginine. The two foods with the highest levels of Arginine are chocolate and peanuts, followed by the rest of the nuts, then beans, seeds and grains. Until the Herpes sores are gone, one should avoid these food items. In an especially virulent case of Herpes, as much as 10,000 mg of lysine may be needed to conquer it. The foods that are highest in Lysine are meats (including eggs and fish), dairy products and nutritional (brewers) yeast. Fruits and vegetables contain almost no amino acids, so are safe to eat. Colloidal Silver in generous quantities is also effective against the Herpes virus. Info from: Herpes Can be Prevented, by Nicholas Sampsidis, M.S.

Dear List Member, The clear blisters occurring on the lips are, nearly always, herpes simplex, a virus that has demonstrated to be susceptible to Colloidal Silver. However, as some outbreaks present a "streaming effect" on occasion, the driving systemic insult may continue to produce a constant replenishment of the challenging materials. There are several protocols which might offer a rapid favorable response. However, we have found that the inclusion of Lysine becomes the key ingredient. One such protocol involves nothing more than obtaining Lysine salve/ointment from your local pharmacy and applying it, liberally, over the entire lip surface especially the point of presentation. Additionally, for quick systemic support, ingesting 1000 mg of lysine powder twice daily has effected quite rapid response, in those experimental cases where it was employed. As a general condition, lysine ointment alone has given (at least for us, in our experimental researches) very acceptable address to conditions such as you outline. Sincerely, B. B.
