Welcome
Health is our first and only wealth – look after it!
Sometimes we may need a reset – and sometimes life makes us STOP. I am writing this in the hope that you take charge, so if this happens to you, you will not be in the mess most are. And as I was for months after the first attack. You may need to keep this in mind for someone you know – my next feature cover High Blood Pressure, then Heart Health, Strokes and Dementia. . .
I was hit by yet again, a shedding incident. My body reacted – it is too sensitive – I would not wish this on anyone. It has redefined what I can and cannot do – and was behind that stair incident of Jan 2022. stopped me from working mostly. Shedding is outside the scope here – I am walking you through what a senior natural health detective/problem solver you may need to have to ensure, should this happen (and I was not expecting round two, but had all I needed should it happen).
This was me a week ago. Unsuspecting – I woke up with massive eye swelling. Not feeling myself. And having no idea what was going on – I popped more patches on me, and as it was Duncan’s special outing, me not wanting to get in the way of the day’s plans, readied for a trip to Cairns, staying overnight.
Feeling wrong, itchy sore eye lids, I wobbled into the car and we set sail . .Brain nit working, doubtful of everything, It all went downhill from there.
Having a fair idea of what it was, I brought with us half a pharmacy – and used it all.
SHINGLES – anywhere – I got it again in my eye
LEFT – A week later. RIGHT the second morning impressive look – all that red!! Itchy as – no pain.
It Happened To Me and What I Did About It
(How to avoid having a painful shingles interlude.
This is not written for those who follow medical advice blindly. I took charge. You likely, to be here know this would be me, and may have been seeing me I do not accept limitations. I have always been an outlier, a maverick and a contrarian. This may not be you, but I suspect that you can see my point.
Since the recent “do as we tell you to” had left us all with doubt as to what a medical profession is there for. You could be forgiven for thinking that ‘First Do No Harm’ has gone the way of common sense.
First attack of shingles – (August 2021) left me months in recovery. Thus I knew to hit this with all I had. Then drs including the Bne hospital A and E took x 5 visits and still did not diagnose. I did. They also were reticent to prescribe. I knew what to take, so I had a stash on the off chance it revisited.
Hopeful I could avoid the Acicylovir (800 strength x 5 daily) as I felt it really knocked me about last time, I attempted to throw all I had naturally at myself first. I gave in after 36 hours. Whilst still doing all I had been, I added in that pharma anti viral as well. It is my vision also up for grabs here. It says to take this at 800 mg strength every 4 hours for 7, preferably 10 days- I am going for 10, then will be backing off to continue my heaps of natural; again.
1 – AV/AT – herbal anti viral /sort yourselves out – ask me how to access
This is a herbal preparation designed after the SARS -1 incident in 1997. I sent all patients home with this to put somewhere in case they felt ‘off’ and instead of waiting to get whatever it was, stave it off. Take three, have a hot Epsom salts bath and go to bed, If not able to, take 3 every hour and get home to attend to self business there as first priority – easier/less expensive to NOT fall over. By also staying at home to clear it fast – but often a few doses (always 3 at a time) it will be.
1 – AV/AT – Main ingredient andrographis. This product was designed for the first SARS in 1997.I started on three AV/AT, every hour. I have a stash of what may one day be needed for all eventualities, although not the complete range of Chinese herbals I had in my clinic days. If you talk to me I can organise these to come to you.
Plants are our friends. I have what I have used for decades in clinic to help knock off viruses/mount my own attack herbal product. AV/AT stopped a rampant glandular fever in my then 13 year old son – 17 years ago. He was a mess, with lumps on his swollen lymph glands, and as sick as you can get. Zinc, Vit C and 3 of these caps every hour. And confined to bed. Not that he was up to living anyway.
One and a half bottles, and four days later from his rapid decline, he was better than he had been for months – he had been living his version of his ‘best life’, ignoring all common sense and what mum said. This explains why him, and why then. The lead-in to him being so sick is simple – and what happens at the point of rapid growth, when anyone chooses to eat rubbish, and stay up half the night playing games on gadgets, burning the candle at both ends, (and in the middle as well) body says NO.
After his mum’s dictates in action, he was up at 7am, bouncing off the walls 3 days later. . I took him off to get a blood test, as I knew no one would believe it. Massive titre of Epstein – Barr. Were the medical staff interested in how to help all the other teenagers/whoever, who often took decades to recover from chronic fatigue? No. No relapses. A few years later, a school friend related to him his years of illness, not able to’s. He realised that from not having a natural health helper, and products, at home, as he had, his friend was in a mess STILL. My son was then aware that mum as not so silly as he thought. These are 3 every hour. Diligent, vested interest, I have been get up at night and take more, plus C, plus he had Vit C and zinc, and only one acupuncture session – rest did the rest.
2) – Powdered Vit C – we can’t make it within us and need to take it constantly
It is easier to take than myriad tablets) or liquid liposomal (you use less) – preferably with the bioflavoinoids in it. I took at least 50 grams a day – no bowel intolerance. and am at the tail end of this incident (late May 2025) still taking in excess of 20 grams daily – why – it coats viruses and assist the liver (I am on medications from Dr also) to clear itself and heal. See more here
3) – Castor oil
Organic, ideally in a darkened bottle. Invaluable to undo any inflammation, pain, to draw out splinters or toxins, belly or joint discomfort, undo scars and adhesions.. See more here
4) – Drion pads (panty liners)
Yes I know it sounds weird.
These are multi use. The negative ion strips are a healing tool. If you are not bleeding or dripping (incontinence, the panty liners are the invaluable for anything tool. Not only as expected.
Her after my facial injuries, I had at least 9 panty liners for the strips on nightly – and would get up exhausted and chop them up if found myself in bed without – is that important. They last 8 hours.
In your shoes, stuck down, they last for 8 hours. Back problems? Especially if that surgery did not work – and fix all sorts of circulation issues and have once rescued a diabetic year long bone foot infection. He did not get it chopped off – as the strips on top and bottom were the magic cure – all the work I did on him, with acupuncture, the extra and all day Vit C, and better nutrition – and a year of antibiotics, including IV – the pads saved his foot. Get the pads here .
5)- Ionic foot spa
Toxic stuff can be eliminated
I have been using these initially in Chinese massage places in shopping centres, with reflexology for nearly 20 years. Twice weekly when I was in clinic as my own health help. Since we have our own now (they are cheap to find online), at least x 2 weekly still, but sometimes nightly. It is shocking what keeps coming out. Start with some salt in the clean warm tap water- turn it on – and !!!! This comes out in stages. I suspect that we all test it by running with nothing in it – but the salt.
No change in colour.
Often there are floaty black bits !! and sometimes, a soapy look to around the gadget that is turned on to the electrical current.
Once I was able to be upright, this was a daily occurrence also .
6) – Perineal steaming kit
Make it yourself – see my info here too simple once set up – Third World delicious way to undo most things that happen ‘downstairs’ and a calming, helper for all gut issues. See more here
7) – Glutathione accelerator
Get your mitochondria back on track as we all have too much on a cellular level to cope with modern life. See more now. The dosage is 6 in the morning with food –
I have been doing 3 doses of 6 daily.
Why? It is anti inflammatory. Thus no pain
We age slower, if we can make this easily. We are full of toxins – and why so many magically improve when you are on this.
We must absorb magnesium, selenium and sulphate to make this within ourselves.
I have given this to those having an allergic reaction – me with sandflies on NZ and my daughter in law – accidentally eating gluten, when she was so damaged by it – these fixed the problem – for both of us – instantly.
8) – Photo therapy patches
Best to have a small chat with me. about these .
Also see more here or straight to get more involved – see more here – I also have a lot more about shingles there should you want to dive deep in.
HERPES VIRUS/SHINGLES SPECIFIC
9) – St John’s Wort 3000 mg strength
I have been taking at least 7 handsful daily – 10 to begin with. It coats the virus, stops it multiplying. The oil is perfect for external lesions – but all was internal – in my head. . .
10) – L – Lycine
AI do at least 2 often 3x what the bottle says. .
PREVENTATIVE MEASURES – WE ALL COULD /SHOULD BE DOING
Start with – taking charge yourself – in these times, we need to NOT be stuck. Know what is not normal, regardless of being out off by those who you consult. We all know our body, and when it does something different, we may be out off by being ‘anxious’ – we may be as we know it is not right and want to not have it. ANSWER – believe in yourself. You are YOUR own expert. Who knows better than you? Have a tool kit assembled. At least for running repairs. It may be a full homeopathic one (I do not have YET), it could be the standard First Aid one: handy in case of physical injury, it could be a whole bunch of plants growing and you knowing their usage (as all would have had in times past as they were left to their own devices a ‘medical’ system as the one currently was not around.
1 – Be well – look to my Life Recipe – see more here
2 – Become your own advocate and know how health happens – as above – also see here.
3 – Have a rescue kit
a) – Always – the key player. AV/AT – ask me how to access.
WHAT TO DO: Ignore fear based panics
Fulfill all stages of my Life RECIPE
FOOD IN IS NUMBER 9 OF 9:
A LIFE LIVED WELL IS THE AIM.
“For eons, humans had maintained their health without the interference of synthetic chemicals. Did you know that it takes around 7 days to produce antibodies after an infection or injected ‘chemical interference’? Left to her own devices, Nature kicks in immediately after a foreign organism is detected, ramping up the highly efficient mechanisms of Innate Immunity at the point of entry, usually the nasal membranes. By contrast, the synthetic chemicals injected into the arm completely bypass the nasal membranes, missing Nature’s most powerful opportunity to fend off the invader. For those injected, a week goes by before the antibodies are produced, a perfect window for viral invasion of the chemically-stressed immune system. Might explain a few things and food for thought? Thank you Christine Houghton (my 1977-78 Western medicine lecturer).
Why? We are under attack by chemicals and electrical vibrations that we are not designed to live well with
LIVING WELL INVOLVES DAILY:
Topical magnesium – at least 10 times using – store it in the loo and whenever you are there – spray many (I do 9) sprays on palm, rub with other one – to warm it up – then pop on exposed bum/thighs and legs. . EVERY LOO VISIT. You will be amazed – see more here
Topical iodine – see more here – as we are depleted – not eating the 100x more daily the traditional Korean and Japanese do – and concurrently are being poisoned by the halides – esp the fluoride and chloride in the tap water, and the bromides that seem ubiquitous everywhere – this back ground ‘noise’ is at the base of why the cysts (including PCOS and endo) all reproductive issues, hormonal upsets,, tumours, and metabolism=c issues – plus fluid where it is not needed, and any emotional states. .
Vit D3 – the sun – where is it? ? When your shadow is greater than your body at noon – the UV B rays are missing 0 and would be lovely being in the sun – but not making what is needed to live well. The mouse dose of 1,000 iu allowed in NZ and Australia is insufficient and there is not enough in food sources to count. Where to get – online
FOOD – see more here – Protein and fat – eating as we are designed to – not as our heads dictate following all sorts of fads .
WATER – see more here – at least 3 litres daily – and body temperature – your body is missing this most. To flush away body wastes, to create digestive juices and to lubricate and moisten all levels of your being. If you are thirsty, you have left this too late ..
