Welcome

This page is about the photo therapy patches I used and my process of discovery
It is not blow by blow, (which patch when) as I did not diarize, as I was too busy trying to cope, and fix myself whilst living in my life. Also, as I am not pedantic, and do what I feel – so this is not what the manufacturers/sellers may say to do. The rest of this story is found here.

I did not go looking for advice – you may – but I am a natural health detective who has been the one to engage when no one else knows what to do and has usually written the person off. This makes me the one in the hot seat. I would rather have someone looking after me – but how and where and right when is needed? So it was, as usual, me to my rescue. I did all I could, and I had all the entire arsenal of patches.

I strongly suggest you also make up a patches rescue kit. Ask me privately about these, as you likely could do with direction. If you wish to go straight to buy them. As they are network marketing, someone needs to refer you otherwise you pay retail (x2 wholesale) and they are dear enough. Whilst it can be $$ costly, it is far less of a hassle if you have them in reserve, as when you need, you need. We live in a rural area, and where/how on a Saturday morning was I to find all I needed right then? This time I had a different problem. The first time shingles struck my R eye in August 2021. Who was thinking? Me as the stunned recipient of all of this wrongness was not so much – so this is also a cautionary tale as if this shingles bites you need to be on the appropriate strength of the already STRONG medication to knock it off. Who in the medical fraternity was thinking for me as I was not appearing as their textbooks say? And this is as well as all else that I threw at it. No joke.

With no lesions, I feel that I still presented classically. It was all invisible, (being inside my head both times). Watch out, as when something is not obvious the medical staff may be overwrought, or having a bad day at work, or whatever. When non visible, I wonder are they even listening? Instead they may want tests. If you know what you are looking for/have suspicions – just tick off the list yourself. Is all too obvious when I list the signs and symptoms.

SHINGLES FEELS LIKE

One sided problem, definite boundaries of difference
Tingling, itchiness
Pain, numbness
In the eye – redness, watering, swelling
It gets worse rapidly.
You are ‘off’ – a something is attacking you – and though rest is needed, it is not fixing this.
Depending on each of us – there are all sorts of other ‘viral’ incidents can come in for the ride – but the tingling, numbness, pain and itching in fixed location, in definite patch of body is the key. And it gets rapidly worse.

Shingles on the skin – a shedding incident that Duncan had – is different from in the head/eye as I had – he was my next case so although he thought maybe an insect had gotten him – I could see the vesicles – lesions – like blisters – and knew what had happened. Visit from grandchild and son who were jabbed, overnight. I figure that it did not get me as I had already been got. Not so as we see later, (May 2025)

SHINGLES in the eye

Acc to online sources. . I have spared you the graphic pictures – you can look if you like. Nasty -= I wanted my life back.
‘Herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO), commonly known as shingles, is a viral disease characterized by a unilateral painful skin rash in one or more dermatome distributions of the fifth cranial nerve (trigeminal nerve), shared by the eye and ocular adnexa. HZO occurs typically in older adults, but it can present at any age and it occurs after reactivation of latent varicella-zoster virus (VZV) that is present within the sensory spinal or cerebral ganglia’.
Also
‘A red, blistering rash typically appears on the forehead, eyelid or bridge of the nose. It can look similar to a typical shingles rash. The affected eye and surrounding skin may appear swollen and puffy. Other symptoms may include: Mild flu-like symptoms’.

HZO often begins with a tingling or burning sensation of the scalp, forehead or cheeks. A few days later it may break out into a painful one-sided rash in the scalp, forehead and around the eye. When the eye is involved there that can be redness, foreign body sensation, light sensitivity, pain, discharge, and mild to severe decreased vision.

Clinical Presentation

WARNING – In causation – none of these are directing you to the obvious. All are blaming chicken pox. BUT – we older people who had chicken pox as kids, (calomine lotion worked). That theory of the virus lurking till later was only ever a theory. We were not prone to shingles in the past. My older relations who all had CP never had shingles. If we were still living well now, and not with the non nutritive food and life additives we are poisoned with , substances to NOT enhance life. and not constantly injected (for our health) – none of this would be needed to be said.

In o e of my old naturopathic books – (pub 1974) ‘How To Get Well‘ by Dr Paavo Airola – there is no mention of shingles or herpes – or even chickenpox – we all knew what to do with childhood illnesses. They came and went, as like what else is not in that handbook – infertility, autism/ADHD, neurotypical children – these are modern exposure to rubbish-in-and-outside-our-bodies issues. The biomedical texts are unlikely to say this as they are selling what is causing all this non nutritive, good living ‘answers’ to what they are creating (iatogenic). See the Flexnor Report if you wonder. .

I am not up to telling you about the patches yet

I feel that you need to know why this senior natural health consultant did, and does as she does. I do NOT follow ‘protocol’ as we are all different and start from varying nutritional, constitutional and life starting points – visualise a race and starting blocks at different marks). I did not look for, or use protocol of this biomedical labeled condition. Patches ARE magic. BUT they can not provide the hydration, minerals, and rest that you need – see my life recipe here – They can give new improved instructions, and are brilliant – esp in these acute situations.

As was all else I did – see this page again for more – this is a shedding response of my body – and I have to strengthen – patches have helped significantly in the past 10 months to get me back on my feet and stronger, more functional – but still this happened. – or if you have had the covid jab, is one of the side effects – who is going to put their hands up and honour the fact that that experimental gene modification that was to do as it has – destroyed life as we could have had – has a long run off – as in forever after?

Shedding is real. It has bane of my life since the first incident when i was treating someone in June 2021. I sero converted
the Hemaview (live blood analysis) page is here.

You could get an overview of eye shingles here – also snippets from various other pages.

“Patients with HZO may present to the emergency department, primary care, or specialty care clinics. They typically report unilateral burning pain, allo dynia, and headache along the oph­thalmic (V1) branch of the trigeminal nerve. After the onset of these prodro­mal (beginning) symptoms, an erythematous, (reddened rashes) vesic­ular rash subsequently erupts, lasting up to 10 days (Fig. 1). Only click there if you want to see what I avoided by catching this early – as we all should. Waiting for something odd to go away is not likely to have you winning.

‘The rash may involve the tip of the nose or nasal ridge, known as Hutchin­son sign (Fig. 2). This region is inner­vated by the nasociliary fibers, which also serve the conjunctiva, sclera, cornea, iris, and choroid. Hutchinson sign is associated with an increased risk of HZO. The absence of this sign does not rule out disease, however, as up to 30% of patients with HZ but without Hutchinson sign will develop HZO.

‘In addition to the characteristic der­matologic findings, HZO can present with a variety of ocular findings, which occur in up to 50% of patients who do not receive antiviral treatment.⁴ Depending on the severity of infection, patients may develop significant ptosis secondary to edema, resulting in inabil­ity to close the eyelid and dry eye. Red eye, excessive tearing, eye pain, blurred vision, photophobia, and decreased visual acuity are common complaints. The most common ocular presentations include muco purulent conjunctivitis, anterior uveitis, and keratitis (num­mular and disciform).¹ Episcleritis and chemosis are often seen in acute disease, as well”.

CONTEXT

I knew having seen older patients in the late 70’s and early 80’s with trigeminal neuraglia and post hepatic severe pain that I needed to get on top of this fast, and was not waiting to see the lesions that would then make it easy to spot for the medicos.

I knew what was up when the specific and spectacular symptoms started piling up. The first time, I missed it as I had a few days prior come around a corner and hit a Brahman cow at speed, written it off and my car, and had walked off with apparently no injuries – the whiplash one of my acupuncture students fixed a week later what I was teaching – and the shingles was within a few days – thought to be maybe splinters of glass in my eye –
I eventually did not mention the car/cow incident as I did not want to confuse the issue – and still – no diagnosis – till I worked it out (I was in shock also).

My first incident – see more here
Eye felt as though it was being pushed down to the inner corner, from the top outside (lateral to bottom inner canthus)
The inner eye felt irritated, raw, and hot,. Eye started watering and was reddened, if I could open it – as was so light sensitive. There was a weird aching pain something in my head above my ear, and when it became a wrong feeling in the upper few teeth – highly specific, and a line of ‘wrong’ on my nose, extending the numb weird up to the top of my forehead and a bit in – was a clear quadrant – I knew – SHINGLES!! But why? I was n teh peak fo conditio and was not stressed – had gotten over the cow and was busy teaching as I had been.

That took me out for months. Eventually after 5 medical visits – incl an ED at hospital, I finally got what was needed. I knew what drug to take and the GP who finally heard me was not ‘allowed’ to prescribe the higher dose – 800 not 200 mg – so I got into see an opthalmologist who was doubtful – no lesions – but sent me off with 5 day’s worth – and no one would prescribe more – which I felt I needed.
This me being the advocate.

We all expect better than this. Hence the patches and all else I would suggest you do as –

THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE

Usual symptoms – I had some and that was ENOUGH!! Action needed.

This is from my life, my clinical experience and my warning to all – you are the one who loses when people make mistakes at work. This may sound outrageous – it is. My professional life has been moping up after what should never have happened – someone else’s paid incompetence. The Acicylovir 800 mg strength. I now have it usefully on hand should it be needed again. That was my back stop . I did not want to use, tried all I could naturally, esp over patching – but shingles was progressing rapidly, so patches were added as slowing it down and hopefully stopping any damage further.
We all need to be our own consultant, as we are our own expert – we do not need someone else to tell us what happened did not – as is the case now since the 2020 adventure and 2021 onwards jabbing incidents and their aftermaths.

Headache – I did not have – felt weird, took steps
Burning or throbbing eye pain – I got onto this immediately – needles, patches, Reiki, herbal antivirals, supplements
Persistent eye irritation – as above
Skin tenderness. – (and tingling and itching – as above
Itching and tingling – as above.
Blurred vision – as above – rested it – as was feeling vulnerable
Light sensitivity – shut eye and put the Drion pad over with patches.

PROGRESSION

Imagine waking up looking like this. Night before, I had an itchy lateral corner of the eye. It was a bit prickly also, and on my walk, I figured that I had somehow upset it touching my eye after being in the garden, so watered it with my drinking water as it was so insistently irritated.
Next morning – swelling – that increased, along with wrong aching and itching. The white of the eye was red. By the next day after patching etc – it was clear. Drion negative ion panty liners used to help close off light and also to attach patches directly over the upset eye. Bottom left – how I presented to the world. Bottom right – carnosine in the inner canthus, and X 39 in the middle. NO ONE ASKED WHAT WAS ON MY FACE – except the evening dressed up to go out.

A week on (LEFT) versus a morning after (RIGHT): that redness. Imagine how I would have been had I not known what to do – remember patches was only SOME of what I got up to. I have not shows how bad it gets for some. I was likely in a better nutritional state than many others whose unfortunate encounter with this is online. RIGHT – I have no idea what was happening under the skin. It was so itchy – even down to the side of my neck!!

What I used in patches

I bought these to save myself nearly a year ago – thank fully.

Carnosine – fast healing, anti inflammatory etc.
X 39 – specialness – helps retrieve life – repairs stem cells – is the major antidote for the jabbed.
X49 – adds to the effect of X 39
Aeon – calming, healing, royal jelly add on
EE – getting Qi moving
Ice Waves – same but mainly as the cooling influence as it was a HOT condition – and so itchy!
Glutathione – I am on a glutathione accelerator (have been for 19 years daily – 6 with food is one dose) – thus this patch would work so much better.

I have a day and night regime as that way, patching both myself and hubby, I can likely remember what is where. I randomly patch anyway – based on my 48 +years of acupuncture study and practice, and also my decades of being an intuitive worker . .

DaytIme

I broke my ‘rules’ as I had too much to work on, and figured all hands (patches) on deck.
Several of each of the patches at the same time, as this was as much of an emergency as I ever want.
X 39 – Somewhere on my face – sometimes several.
X 49 – was behind the left ear.
Ice Waves – till it all calmed down – on my temples, often also on my neck (was itching down there on left side),
Energy Enhancer (EE) were also on my temples and the sides of neck all the time .
Carnosine went everywhere. Patch city!!! I felt of out it
As I recovered. and was not so much in a daze, thought to give them a break overnight and felt the worse for it. Instantly better when I put them on.
I am not too sure about this do not wear continually business – I moved them over to a slightly different spot.

Night time

Initially I was with the EE and IW 24 hours and then threw them away.
Glutathione – in the later times, they were on my Liv 14 and Live 3, but initially local wherever – and many.
Aeon – help healing – where ever the mood struck.

When I was wearing a Drion pantyliner do the negative ion strip, I had either X 39 or carnosine – and sometimes Aeon on top of that so it went straight into the eye ball itself – I was well aware that I was averting deep trouble by doing all I could. This included me using needles, and Reiki, etc. The patches stopped me not coping, no pain, and the lack of what this usually devolves onto – for weeks likely months. What cost? We all need to live as though it were our last – as we do not own tomorrow.

Almost 2 weeks away – still not ‘myself’, but I remember how much the first bout took out of me – this was captured sooner, and I had tht medication (800 mg strength Acicylovir) sooner, and I had patches. .. and now am off all oral extras but for the IVM, Vit C, lysine and sleeping . .
PATCHES? My usual X 39, X 49 and carnosine and EE – maybe IW still at day and Aeon, glutathione at night. A few Alavada are left they go on also.
