Just saw a post from a very vaccinated liberal Jewish Facebook friend (even her kids are vaxed) exhorting people to "make sure to get your shingles vaccine," because she got it.
Shingles is iirc just latent chicken pox that your body normally knows how to handle when the immune system is on point.
SHINGLES CAN BE SUPRESSED with topical COLLOIDAL SILVER....works on mouth sores, etc. as well.....same stuff they put in "newborn" eyes right after they are born....to keep 'em from going blind.
DON'T GET VAXXED FOR SHINGLES....
Ty for the tip. Still dealing with gramps' shingles because the rash he developed from picking at his arm kept him from an upcoming surgery they were going to try. He developed them before getting jabbed tho so that's extra worrisome lol.
Damn, hope he's ok homie. 🙏
Can he try an antiviral like acyclovir or valacyclovir?
Or lysine?
Honestly I'm not sure. My uncle is the guy who is handling so much of his health stuff. I'm not in a good position to try and get him the help he needs despite my access to information due to his fixed income. I just know the doctors are not getting him the help he needs and the family trusts those retards more than me. He's old, diabetic, and suffering from shingles. From my limited digging shingles nerve pain can be lessened if you can reduce the inflamation. There aren't any direct peer reviewed studies to confirm this specifically for shingles but in general the theory works out. My idea was to get him some CBD to reduce this inflammation but the legit stuff is pricey and work has slowed down for us this month. I expected a call on the 1st when their social security kicked in to help them get the legit CBD but doctors told him they'd do a surgery to try and help him out (something they've done once already and it did not help, unfortunately that might have been mostly due to him not allowing the area to heal due to agitating the area the pain comes from with scratching etc) We did get him some kind of topical cream a while back that my uncle asked for but can't recall what it was so it may have been one of those. They want to put him on opioids but that's not something the family supports, particularly my uncle who is his caretaker. I'm pretty much fighting an uphill battle on both sides here due to my lack of finances as well as theirs.
Edit: Found the name of the stuff we ordered for him. Jesus it was so long ago I feel terrible that he's been suffering this entire time.

Just saw a video on DMSO.
Another suppressed therapy.
Woot. Thanks all.
Like Ivermectin, the stuff that turns you into a horse?
I think gramps would prefer being blue than feeling constant nerve pain. Always good to hear all sides of things when considering treatment tho.
Yes, that's just what happens. A horse.
Ivm topically on cold sores is a thing too. Something to consider for shingles maybe. Although I don't know about dosage if your whole body is breaking out
