Holy Cow Melly, You may have just hit on the KEY to this mess. I have been taking large doses of L-argenine and was doing so PRIOR to my outbreak of shingles. This is not going to be easy. Cannot in good conscience stop the L-argenine altogether since I have HBP along with leukemia and the accompanying chronic bronchitis. My diet is very specific for anti-cancer fruits, veggies, juices, celtic sea salt , etc ( Meats, fish and cheese are also consumed but in very small quantities.) so Im caught between a rock and a hard place on some of this. Must find the proper balance without causing any further mishaps.

For some reason arginine triggers an outbreak of herpes and it might do the same for shingles. Melly
