    Learning the Hard Way with Shingles: How To Be Prepared Beforehand

    Learning the Hard Way with Shingles: How To Be Prepared Beforehand. Read aloud

    Please, don’t let this make you rush out and get the shingles vaccine! Read to the end first!

    Prior to the 1990s, natural chickenpox was a nearly universal childhood experience and played out as a mild disease that conferred reliable long-term immunity.

    In 1995, without any compelling medical reason to do so, the CDC added the chickenpox vaccine to the childhood vaccine schedule for 12-15-month-olds. In 2006, acknowledging the problem of waning vaccine effectiveness, they decided that 4-6-year-old children needed to get a second (booster) shot. (source)

    Immunology experts believe that because adults are no longer caring for (and exposed to) children who have the Chicken Pox (since most children are being vaccinated against it), adults are not getting a natural immunity ‘boost’ against the Varicella (or Herpes) Zoster virus.

    In fact, this 2002 study confirmed that exposure to natural chickenpox in adults living with children “was highly protective against shingles.”

    Before and after introduction of the vaccine, researchers also warned of the vaccine’s potential to shift the average age of chickenpox infection upward—a problematic scenario since chickenpox is more severe in adults. (source)

    Those authors cautioned that mass chickenpox vaccination was likely to cause a shingles epidemic. They also predicted that shingles would affect “more than 50% of those aged 10-44 years at introduction of vaccination.”

    Big Tip: let your children (and grandchildren) get natural chicken pox and care for them to get your “booster” if you had them as a child!  If you have not, I will discuss prevention in a minute.

    Warning: you may want to scroll right on past these pictures: 

    sick with shingles

    I was unprepared, but YOU don’t have to be.  My case lasted from Jan 17, and as of this writing, I still have a ways to go! You can see it affected the nerves in the lid of my R eye.

    In the 50s, my mom took us children to a “chicken pox party” at the Katt’s house when we were ages 4 through 10! Everyone we knew at school had done it, and there was a wonderful natural immunity to all ages in the community! It was unheard of for older people to get shingles.

    Contracting chicken pox naturally as a child is the most opportune time to lay the foundations of robust health and immunity.

    Like my Mom, I took our children to a chicken pox party. I was already 44 and that little exposure ‘boosted’ my natural immunity — but that was ~26 years ago.

    Now nearing 70, my natural immunity had waned… And I was with a friend who had just gotten her shingles shot… 🙁

    How Do We Get Shingles?

    ONE WAY: From someone shedding a recent Zostavax (shingles) vaccine. 

    Zostavax is a LIVE virus and is able to shed to other unsuspecting persons! 

     shedding

    Merck admits that both Zostavax and Varivax shed.  Viral shedding from vaccines.

    SECOND WAY: Stress depresses our immune system and is a big risk factor for shingles!

    THIRD WAY: Waning immunity. The problem with eradicating chicken pox through unnatural means is no one gets natural immunity from re-exposure, so we end up getting shingles in later years.

    I have corresponded with many dozens of recent shingles sufferers, many with repeated cases, so no doubt, we are in a shingles epidemic.

    Don’t Be UN-Prepared Like I Was!

    Our naturopath always uses homeopathics, but her ‘expedited’ shipment didn’t arrive until day 5 due to a shipping delay!

    The shingles came on SO fast and terrible, I became fearful and started anti-viral Valtrex late on day 3. The fast results I was promised instead left me nauseous for days and the eruptions on my face got vastly worse. I know now that the antiviral BLOCKED the efficacy of the homeopathics.

    This is likely why:

    “Often, homeopathy can work in spite of allopathic drugs, but NOT SO WELL when it comes to Shingles. It is my experience that if drugs are begun, homeopathy’s ability to clear the case is hindered. If someone has Shingles and they start taking conventional drugs prescribed for it, then realize said drugs are not helping enough so they switch to homeopathic medicines, homeopathy does not work as well. It takes a lot longer. It may offer some help, but not with the same alacrity and thoroughness as when only homeopathy has been applied.” ~Joette Calabrese, HMC, CCH

    • With homeopathy, the body receives the needed support and impetus for uprooting the illness  
    • With pharmaceuticals, symptoms are suppressing which only pushes the illness deeper

    6 foods to avoid with shingles: dark chocolate, alcohol and caffeine, processed foods, gelatin, soy, and grains!

    Unfortunately, it is possible to get shingles twice (or more). The longer you experience severe pain after shingles (called post-herpetic neuralgia), the higher your chances of a shingles recurrence. (source)

    Be Prepared with this Homeopathic Remedy for Shingles

    I learned a hard lesson on preparedness. Too late for me, but hopefully not for others reading this.

    Now I keep this wonderfully effective, inexpensive shingles nosode remedy on hand (essentially what my naturopath prescribed)! No prescription needed.

    scabs, remedy

    If you are caught unprepared, shingles lasts 3-6 weeks. The scabs are now gone and the redness is rapidly fading.

    There are 2 effective ways to use it:

    • Acute care: Have the shingles nosode remedy on hand and treat immediately  (read the reviews and the ingredients – impressive!)
    • Preventative: Use the shingles nosode as a natural shingles preventative (read the reviews!)

    Shingles Scar Prevention & Nerve Pain

    Topical skin healing: alternate Skin Defense Spray and Calendula Cream. Also apply Vitamin D cream topically 3x/d.

    Lastly, keep on hand several vials of homeopathic remedy hypericum 200C for nerve pain. Take 3 pellets every hour when there’s pain; take 2-3x/d when manageable, and stop when relieved. Do not handle the pellets with your hands. Tap them into the cap and pop them into your mouth. No food 15 minutes before or 15 minutes afterward.

    Supports: I upped my regular detox with TRS usage to 10-15 sprays 2x/d along with Vit C, zinc, turmeric, and cod liver oil to calm my brain. I didn’t need to take L-Lysine because it’s already in the shingles nosode.

    “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” ~3 John 1:2

    Hi! I’m Jacqueline!

    Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
    Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.
