You might want to try tetrasil for shingles. This is an ointment that delivers silver into the affected area and is also supposed to release oxygen. We have not used it for shingles, but have found it very effective for other viral and bacterial infections. Others have reported success using it against shingles. Check the following reference:
http://tetrasil.com/conditions/shingles.html This stuff is effective for treating a lot of skin conditions, as you can see from their web site. So far I find that it works as advertised. My wife is even using it to clear up stubborn whiteheads (although this takes a lot of time and persistence).

Can you all share with me your thoughts on Shingles, my friend appears to have this. Thought she has a lung infection on one side and she showed me blisters, on her ribs front and back on one side, friend told her it was poison ivy. I don't think so. Thanks much and email me privately if you think the list is tired of hearing the same things. Debbie
