THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE. I am a natural health detective – always critically thinking and not accepting limitations
The world has changed. Strange times. In the past, few seemed to be under the spell of the ones who are not FIXING but managing illness. The sudden normalcy of heart attacks in young people, viral cardiomyopathy, strokes in newborns, and so many suddenly keeling over: shedding is not mentioned. Yet, as with anything these days – the more they protest-ith, the more likely you need to hear backwards – reverse it – black is NOT ever white. Start looking past what is there to distract and obstruct thinking.
Few seem to even know that vaccines are often likely to spread to others – as an example, the MMR was given to mums (if they deemed to be ‘not covered/protected’ only as they were leaving the hospital with their newborn baby – as it was known that mealses was shed and could spread to other mums and bubs. This is clearly stated on the package inset. These cautions seem to have been thrown out.
As have all non pharmacueticals to be given to any pregnant women – as they were all likely to eventually be found out to be tetragenic (highly growth/maturation damaging to fetuses). So too with medicos ($$ vested interests abound) being so cavalier with the herpes (and now mRNA) type ‘vaccines’. Presently there IS a shingles vaccine. Look at the package insert for what it may also do to you.
HERPES VIRAL INFECTIONS/CONDITIONS
There are 8 known human herpes type viruses. Some more well known than others. To see more go here.
Also see more here Mostly highly contagious
1 – Cold sores – (HPV- 1)
2 – Genital herpes – (HPV-2)
3 – Shingles – (HPV-3)
4 – ‘Glandular fever‘/mono nucleosis/Epstein -Barr virus – (HV-4)
5 – CMV – cytomegalovirus –(HPV-5) (CMV) is one of the most widespread herpes viruses as 40 percent of all adults in Germany and more than 90 percent of all adults in developing countries are infected by this virus. The initial infection by CMV is usually harmless and free of symptoms. But in immuno-suppressed people, like transplantation patients, a CMV Infection can cause serious complications and damage to organs such as the lungs, liver or eyes.
We are here to speak of shingles specifically. Common write up found online about shingles As an acupuncturist, I have a different version. As a plant medicine dispenser, and as a naturopath, I have others. Please read (as you likely have) all you can on the other medically based platforms. Here I speak to what work – not numbing pain, not hoping it will go away – but actual solutions.
Whilst this is a family of viruses, we could say that were the immune system working well, they would not be picked up and stuck in the body, as no dis ease has 100% ‘strike’ rate. Some people are naturally immune:some let problems pass right past them. Some get one of these once, and never again, or so slightly affected that only blood testing may pick up the antibodies to their presence. See more here on causes of dis ease (Chinese medical version – me filming in 2015) .
In the last few years – as more than ever ‘wellness’/absence of disease was seen to be found at the tip of a needle – not acupuncture but vaccinations. What used to be the conversation may need updating. (post 2020/21 and the rise of orchestrated immuno-suppressance)
In the past – the statement – “have to have had chicken pox to get shingles”/”you must be stressed” may have been true . .
In order to be upset by shingles – apparently you have had to have had chicken pox.
However – the vaccine can not guarantee that you will not get with chicken pox, or shingles.
Shingles used to be a complaint of the very weakened, and or stressed people. Now it seems to endemic.
What it feels like – different for different people. What to expect when you have shingles. The tingling, itching, and burning that signal the beginning of shingles sometimes come along with a headache, a fever, or a feeling of being unwell. ‘Once the rash appears, it’s often blistering and painful. “It may look like a band or strip. The rash typically affects one side and can occur anywhere on the body. It’s often on the back, chest, or abdomen. It can also appear on an arm, a leg, or the face or head. Pain in the area of the rash is common and can be severe. “It’s often described as a sharp, deep burning, throbbing, or stabbing pain,” says Dr. Curhan. Pain can interfere with sleep and the ability to go about daily activities.
This sounds too simple. East Asian/Chinese medicine is
We follow life
| Symptom | What it is | What to do | What will happen |
| Hot, red | Heat | Clear heat | All will be less hot |
| Itchy | ‘Wind heat’ | Clear the wind heat | Itching will cease |
| Damp lesions | Damp involved | Clear the damp | Vesicles will diminish |
| Wobbly/balance | ‘Wind’ with ‘Damp’ | Clear wind and damp | Clarity/balance will return |
| Pain | Blockage of flows | Clear reasons for pain | Pain gone |
| Malaise | Body under attack | All systems upset | Give body time to fix itself |
| Exhaustion | Body is busy | REST, let it heal | Short cut back to wellness |
| Not ‘quite right’ still | Recovery needed | Patience will be rewarded | Must take its course/ REST |
This gives you a clear picture. Instead of suffering, find someone who knows how to undo the inner Wind, Heat and Damp that is disrupting normal body function. How you got to there is unique – there was a story attached. individual. Undoing this will be your best way out. Naming the condition as ‘shingles’ means marketing options for others. Numbing sensations, not clearing why the body is giving you the pain message is the foundation of the limitation of the current medical model. Working for pharma and against you getting your life back.
The key is undoing Why You. Others have not fallen into the trap of being unwell enough for shingles to hit them. YET. (This is my nod to the shedding and generalised immune compromization that we are all being attacked in various ways with. That is usually where most go straight back and continue the life habits that set them up. Likely Chinese (East Asian) herbal preparations will be the fastest way. Maybe acupuncturist – if the practitioner is NOT a ‘dry needler’ but one who understands energy medicine.
STAGES OF CARE
ACUTE – Common points will clear the Wind, the Heat and the Damp from your Blood level
GETTING BETTER – Harmonise your Liver and Gall Bladder Qi
FINALLY – Strengthen your basic Qi and Blood. Retrieve health – something that you may be yet to experience
MY ATTACKS WERE UNEXPECTED WITH RAPID ONSET – your’s may have been a ‘bolt from the blue’ also.
I had no extra ‘stressors’ pushing me over any barrier, but I was intensively working with those who had taken the jab and were actively shedding.
IF YOU DO NOT GET TO THE WESTERN MEDICINE FAST, THE ENTIRE PROCESS TAKES A LOT LONGER.
I attempted to correct this myself the first time, as the doctors were not ‘diagnosing’, and it was not till about 7 days later that I could get access to the antivirals so sorely needed. Best within 72 hours – sooner is better.
Sept 2021 – It was mask and jab fear time. I took no pictures – but this went on seemingly for months before I was proficient at standing in balance, able to function – no pain – just ‘taken out’. See what Damp/insubstantial damp/phlegm. I was not fitting into the expected category, they were slow to act. Never mind observation and common sense. Critical thinking even. Thus – if YOU now attend a medical centre expecting competence, this may not serve you. We all have to become active participants in our own healing. I had no (visual) lesions on the skin. This is obvious from my first hand account of the three attacks. My eye was definitely ‘out of order’ though.
May 2025 – (Pictured). I tried to not use the pharma product, as it had knocked me about severely the last time, but the natural plant helpers, use of photo therapy spots, my needling and Reiki were insufficient. The acceleration of the condition was visually obvious and was swiftly getting past tolerable. Being in my head/eye each time, I was not intending to play with my vision.
March 2026 – I jumped to and did all, but got complacent as all was working so well. I suggest that you DO NOT.
ACUTE – see pain solutions here
Maybe also look at what I have here.
It is a huge bundle of info that you can get your teeth into.
To understand how a well body works offered at the end of this Beyond Pain info page.
The question “why did this happen” is not the focus – getting the damage minimalized is.
Western medications. A version of Acyclovir. Usually Herpes I or II gets 200 strength, one 4 hourly. Shingles (HPV- 3) is 1 x 5 at 800 strength – or 2 x 3 800. In the week after the start of episode 3, I went back to GP as I felt I had this still lurking. That was when a stronger (!!) version was prescribed – i x 3.
I suspect you need at least 7 days worth. I am at point of writing – on my third week.
1 – NUTRIENTS FOR HEALING
I chose to ramp up all the nutrients needed for my body to deal with the shock and the repair needed.
Vit C – was the mainstay. Bowel tolerance means that when you reach it – as with me – you may have no way of stopping the fecal expulsion reflex (in a nutshell – messy). The liquid liposomal is easiest, though not overly palatable and ‘expensive’ (it works brilliantly). Yet – I took a 250 ml bottle over a day and that massively improved the outcome in the second attack. By the third, I could not face the taste, and hence have been slowed in recovery.
Vitamin B – complex – as this is a nervous system problem. As with Vit C – not stored in the body, needed vastly when under any stress – so a little often is best, Not ONE B but all – together. . and NOT as Berocca – full of aspartame/cancer causing. . You need real food and plant nerve tonics.
Vitamin D3 – Any pain is due to likely lack of this crucial pro hormone/called a ‘vital amine’ – vitamin. Also needed to enable correct chromomosal replication and all that Vitamin D3 has to do to maintain life
Magnesium – essential – I use 9 pumps of the spray on one hand, warm it, add to other palm, and spread on my buttocks/thighs each loo visit.
Zinc – can’t expect that taking this as a supplement directly I was and still am on 75 drops of CH 677
Lycine – a precursor to making carnosine in the body, also blocks l-arginine which is indicated with shingles/all herpes viral attacks
1 a) – GLUTATHIONE ACCELERATOR
THIS MADE SUCH A DIFFERENCE ALSO
You do not want this complaint to linger. . take it all.
This needs spot all on its own – if we cannot manufacture glutathione – we are aging rapidly. Each time I had this attack, I upped my usual dose of 6 caps in the morning to 6 three times daily – really made a difference. NOTE this is NOT what says glutathione on the label – that is marketing. Taken orally our bodies break that down – unless it comes in as the glutathione accelerator. You will feel recharged.
2 – PLANT MEDICINE
If you could access a raw Chinese herbal dispenser, the suffering, and time exposed to drama would likely be vastly reduced.
if you have access to a classical homeopath, better still an Auyvedic doctor – likewise. Different traditional medical philosophies going back centuries in other cultures have likely far better success.
1 – AV/AT from Panaxea – andrographis – in massive amounts. 3 is a dose and I initially was every hour. Ask me as it is a prastitioner only product. I think all should have a large bottle in their First Aid kit as ANY virus it knocks on the head. My son aged then 13 got a great case of glandular fever (HPV- 4) he was over it entirely in 3 days. Never looked better after having about half a bottle of these. No relapses. Hourly and slept it off with water, Vit C and some zinc.
2 –St John’s Wort/Hypericum – I took internally see more here for shingles I had no external lesions – otherwise I would have smothered them in hypericum oil. Thus I took the (one a day) capsules – in 2 at a time doses – initially about 10 doses, gradually reducing as I felt better.
3 – Silymarin /St Mary’s Thistle – to assist my liver to work better. (Liver is body’s main chemical manufacturing and storage warehouse).
4 – Powdered Chinese Herbal formuale I made up to clear Heat and Wind and eventually Damp from my body.
5 – Various Young Living oils to smell, and wave around my energy bodies for clarity. Esp Frankinsense and Purification.
3 – EXTRAS
Used to treating others, I had a wealth of knowledge, and tools – if I could remember them. I gradually did. The first time was the worst. Thinking was not my strong point for several weeks. (Insubstantial Phlegm to be cleared out). It took a while to remember I was an acupuncturist. The second time, I forgot I was a Reiki channel. . .
1 – Acupuncture – to cool the Heat and extinguish the Wind (need the Heat gone first). Clear the Damp that obstructs all – especially thinking.
local needles not so helpful as this is acute – so we work on the peripherals – with many potent points. If you see someone after the lesions are set in for the pain. It is likely a combination of local and distal (far away) points will be used.
2 – Phototherapy patches – invaluable – I have no idea how I got through Episode I without them – slowly and needing to be held onto when walking so I did not list as a sinking ship). See what I ave written on inner Wind and Damp. If you are interested in these life saving spots of healing – contact me for more. It took all the patches, constantly worn, and often in top of the Drion negative ion strip in the panty liners. .
4 – TREATMENTS
Besides my own ministrations needles and Reiki (hands on energy work) and knowing/feeling out what was needed next.
1 – Hunter machine – a friend was on hand to dispense assistance that both diagnosed and corrected imbalances from a more frequency model of care.
2 – Rest, gardening and letting go of all I was to have been doing as I was unable.
IF THIS IS YOU – Ideally you find a good (non ‘dry needling’) – REAL acupuncturist.
It is possible that they will prick and bleed around your lesions. This lets out the Heat and Wind. And Damp. Maybe cupping on top of that.
The points chosen (I doubt acupressure is going to help, but that is not my field – needles are elegant and profound, and usually instant. Generally they are distal – Co11 (cooling generally), Sp 10 (cooling the Blood) and GB 40 – to reharmonise the GB /Liver connections – mine is very tender.
I put in Liv 2 (was very reactive, and I was very pissed off). Poingt was super itchy each time – letting the ‘steam’ out! Co 4 – major head point – opposite to trouble as that is how the channel goes) and Kiiko’s immune points by Co 10 on arm. If Liver 14 was tender, that also went in, as did the accumulation (Xi – Cleft) points of the relevant channels if they were at all tender.
I looked up my favourite text – and found several ‘antecdotal’ cases from the featured advanced practitioners included in the book. Very interesting masters of their craft.
ONGOING:
do not fall into where you are emerging from – again
Homeopathics that may magically help – from online – but best to find a local practitioner as hoping that the usual orthodox has it all sussed is by now total wishful thinking. Hence we natural heath care providers and me as a consultant health detective can come up with easy, simple, natural solutions.
I am available for online consults by starting the process here. Or if you wish to get some AV/AT (see above) to have in case – as so many of us wish to be empowered, not dependent upon what the latest medical fad seems to be.
If you have an ongoing ‘dicky’ system and were jabbed. Maybe talk with me about the photo therapy patches? I will do a separate page on what I use, the changes wrought – often instantly there. Or if you have shedding incidents as I do – or they just happen and you have no idea what went on . .
Get smart and get cleaned up internally
Some are suggesting ‘detoxing’
Most useful is get rid of all mould exposure.
Next – clear out of all EMF. Hide away from smart metres, and all forms of gadgetry that 30 years ago were not even a twinkle in someone’s eye.
UNCOMFORTABLE CONVERSATIONS
My opinion – as a natural health detective – we must follow life.
We must return to being sovereign, allowing the millennia of nature and her ways to flouris
Incidental – We are adaptable beings. There are a lot of ‘viruses’ about. Were we well, were we following granny practices, tribal knowings, elder wisdoms, our functional bodies would make short work with them. BUT – now we have a middleman in all conversations.Not only what we are now ‘allowed’ to share, but what is seen as ‘controversial/’old school’ or worse – stopping the potential customer from being sent to where the most supposed benefit is to be found. from consulting with the ones whose income depends upon their staying unwell.
However, we are being assailed by the constant contamination and our body burdens are getting too much to cope with normal life. We are no longer living as designed. Whilst we can adapt to change, there are too many, too distressing with no container for most to be able to make sense, be clear and stay focused. In the case of my then dying newborn daughter (1986)- she had a mother who was focused and ignored the medical ‘we don’t know’. I was faced with a problem – much like being in clinic – but now with my own life on the line. How to get this gone, to retrieve her (and my) life? Likely, few parents insistently ask different /difficult questions. I have had nearly 40 years to ponder. I suspect had she NOT been vaccinated, in her first few months/ years when she was so immuno-compromised, and then at 4.5 years with MMR which totally took her out, her body would have not been thrown stray extras that kept nearly killing her. All toxins are cumulative. All with vast side effects.
I see the medical model – (‘we don’t know’ /’more research needed’ brigade) act as a sourcerer’s apprentice.
A common also viral rash, general malaise is in the coxsackie family. Coxsackievirus is one of the four types of viruses known as enteroviruses. Enteroviruses are made up of a single strand of genetic material called ribonucleic acid (RNA). Coxsackievirus causes illnesses such as hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), muscle infections, heart infections, and meningitis, which is an infection of the brain and spinal cord.
IT GETS PERSONAL
I mention as my nearly dying, always catching something I had not heard of before infant daughter presented with CS A15 or 16 shortly after being vaccinated with the DPT. (I refused the whooping cough component. She went down like a fallen tree – looking very much like when she was nearly taken out by after birth toxoplasmosis. Gaining massive brain injury from the delayed diagnosis, invalidating my concerns, I was not willing to do that a second time, she looked like she did the first time, so into A and E I went with her, No treatment, but all the infectious boffins came out as I was not going home till we had discovered the cause. More on coxsackie here.
Best we all live well (as designed).
If in close proximity to others, maintain wonderful hygiene. See Life Recipe here
Whilst few seem to ask questions, I do. I suspect that my daughter had just received vaccine was carrying this. As a mother, I can made causal links. We parents live every breath our babies make. In my professional life, I was the ‘hard cases’ specialist. When no one else knew what to do – I was called to help. In my own life, I wanted less, not more complications.
