There's no cure for shingles; however, Famvir, an expensive anti-viral prescription drug, may help to control the disease but won't cure it. Shingles is caused by Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome. It starts in the ear, affects the eyesight, tear ducts, hearing, facial muscles, swallowing, speech, hair loss, vertigo, high anxiety, and slowly progresses to vital organs and lastly the brain. Massachusetts General Hospital has estimated over a million suffer from shingles in the U.S. Why no one has studied this disease, discovered in 1907, is truly mind boggling. Contact your state and federal representatives and ask for research on Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome. V.Jean.G. I beg to differ on that, That is western medicines opinion. Shingles is part ofthe family of herpes simplex virus and is related to Chicken pox. If one has had Chicken Pox it can lie dormant in the body for years. As I understand it, this along with the other viruses ( HSV1, HSV2, HHV6 ) are all one and the same. There are a number of approaches to eradicating this virus. Although very stubborn it can be done. CS is one approach used. O2 taken orally with DMSO cream is another. The virus is anaerobic. It cannot sustain life in an oxygenated environment. Simply put, if one increases the O2 environment in the blood, this will eventually get to the cell membrane and begin killing off the virus. DMSO cream is used topically to the areas where breakout has happened in the past and also where the virus typically resides; ower back near the sacrum and lower back of neck. The last way is going to a homeopath and once tested being administered a solution to take orally and complimented with CS as well. I have read on this list at some point high doses of CS can kill off the virus. How Cs works is something I don't know. My personal friend recently had shingles and visited a homeopath. In some cases a person with an extremely strong immune system,killsoff the virus. He shows no sign of it in his system. Also, Herpes has been known to burn itself out as people age into their 50's and up. Modern medicine doesn't quite understand this phenomenon.
