It occurs to me that intake of CS for other purposes may have killed the virus -- especially if we are 10-year some-time users. Anybody here actually gotten shingles? Thanks for any information. At almost 77, having had chickenpox, I am interested in opinions and information . Vaccine is my lowest choice anyway, and without Rx coverage, it's about $200. Judy Down Maine
Hi Judy, I have not had shingles myself but a friend got them & the Dr. prescriptions worked but only for a short time & they came back with a vengeance... I offered some CS to her as I had just read that it helped.... { I was fairly new to CS then & I was making it with 4 nine volt batteries } She said she would try anything--- this is now going on 3 yrs now & she has not had a reoccurrence . She took it orally & applied it to the shingles.. Also used the " Brooks Mix " topically {{ Brooks Mix is--75% CS---10% DMSO & 15% glycerin....Lois
