Lena, I've been battling shingles since January this year. CS is now being used effectively , someone gave me a recipe for Brooks Mix which is essentially, CS,DMSO and glycerine. s I substituted Coconut oil for the glycerine and it works OK, just have to shake it up since oil and water ( you know the drill). Later Brooke spoke up and said he was now using Aloe gell instead of the glycerine and it was much more effective.
Also LYSINE 3 grams daily. I was put on L-lysine initially but not enough. B vitamins especially B-12 and lots of Vitamin C. Mine have calmed down considerably but I still get a hefty reminder when its time to take more Lysine. The first two months of this stuff was almost unbearable, what with the pain and the itching. Ice packs 24/7 helped keep things bearable, eventually I didn't need the ice any more but its very slow going. Shingles are much nastier than anyone can imagine unless they have experienced them. My Doc said I had the worst case he had ever seen, so I guess I'm lucky that they have improved this much. The scars from the lesions are still clearly visible. Then I tried Chapparel tincture both applied topically and taken internally. It does seem to help but tastes and smells pretty nasty. zoe ________________________________ From: Lena Guyot <drumr...@stny.rr.com> To: silver-list <silver-list@eskimo.com> Sent: Tuesday, 23 October 2012, 23:34 Subject: CS>possibility of shingles! Hi Everyone, Well, in the midst of some upper back-pain that I suspected was referred pain from GB issues, my psoriasis (over the same area) was also getting painful: extra itchy and hard to ignore. No blisters to indicate shingles, but for 5 days, it's been uncomfortable and confusing. I sponged the area down tonight with concentrated, topical CS I make and keep in an urn in the bathroom and things feel somewhat better. Hope this is turning the corner as it's been a rough few days so far. Does anyone have any experience with CS for either GB issues or shingles? Tonight, I also used CS and MSM under the tongue to get it throughout my system more efficiently. I'm also drinking a couple oz. of my regular CS. Being a Lymie, I really don't want to go to the allopathic folks at the local hosp., as their remedies for both issues have side effects contra-indicated for Lyme. BTW, my CS is generated with a Silver Puppy. For topical use, I put it on manual and run it longer, but for ingestion, I only use the auto setting. Thanks for any advice you can give. Be well, Léna
