Herpes Zoster
(shingles/chicken pox virus)

Understanding

Shingles is a recurrence of chicken pox. 
Dr Clark always finds the Ascaris parasite in persons with shingles. 
Killing the parasite parasites.htm does NOT necessarily cure shingles, as Herpes Zoster may hide in the nerve cells. http://drclarkia.com/books/the_cure_for_all_diseases.html

Symptoms

Herpes zoster as simplex 1= cold sores, as simplex 2= genital sores. 
Cyclic, perhaps affected by hormones and/or moon.
As soon as one begins to feel twangs of the pain preceding the outbreak of pimples or rash, be sure to get a head start on vigorous supplementation to head off or reduce the attack. Avoid chocolate! Sometimes heat/humidity/sun will trigger an outbreak.
http://www.medicinenet.com/herpes_of_the_eye/article.htm "Herpetic eye disease is not a sexually transmitted disease." http://www.medicinenet.com/herpes_of_the_eye/page2.htm "There is also a special dye called fluorescein that the doctor might put into the eye. This dye glows under ultraviolet light and will show the doctor if the virus is causing problems on the surface of the eye."

Alternative Medicine

AHCC from fermented shiitake mushroom mycelium may help reverse herpes virus, candida and staph bacteria, parasite infections, or environmental toxins.  AHCC increases the body's own interleukin-2 (IL-2).

Coconut oil's fatty acid is 50% lauric acid which converts to monolaurin in the human/animal body. Both lauric acid and monolaurin are antiviral, antibacterial + antiprotozoal and may help to deter/destroy lipid-coated viruses such as HIV, herpes, cytomegalovirus, influenza, various pathogenic bacteria, including listeria monocytogenes and helicobacter pylori, and protozoa such as giardia lamblia.   http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/flaxoil.htm
DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is an all natural substance derived from wood pulp.  DMSO and DMS (a component of DMSO) exists in nature.  The normal decomposition of plants produce DMSO.  Marine and fresh algae give off DMSO. Milk contains small amounts of DMSO.    http://neveranoutbreak.com/dmso.php
DMSO is also a carrier. Doctors are using DMSO to carry other medical substances into the body making them much more effective. 
The most important attribute of DMSO in our fight against the herpes virus is it's unique ability to enter the cell itself. Lacking a genetic material to exist on it's own, viruses can only replicate (multiply) within a cell. Once inside the cell the herpes virus is protected by the protein coating of the cell making most antiviral drugs ineffective against the herpes virus. DMSO contains oxygen. Viruses cannot exist in an elevated oxygen (or alkaline) environment. (Always add a fresh slice of lemon to your drinking water!)
DMSO is approved by the FDA for Interstitial Cystitis - a disease occurring mostly in children. Off label use is therefore permitted. A separate product, stabilized liquid oxygen is on the FDA's GRAS list - Generally Regarded As Safe.

Herpes zoster & rabies attack limbic brain system & may produce psychotic changes.  There are 15 known infections, including herpes, which have the potential of triggering schizophrenic symptoms. Eva Edelman in Natural Healing for Schizophrenia suggests live food, no junk food, exercise, pau d'arco tea, supplements such as schizandra berries, astragaluls, yellow dock, burdock, Oregon grape root, milk thistle, shiitake mushrooms, garlic, cayenne pepper, ginger, nettles, spirulina, goldenseal, wheat grass, chlorella, omega 3, lecithin, GLA, plus vitamins.  www.boragebooks.com
Herpes zoster as simplex 1= cold sores, as simplex 2= genital herpes. Caused by chicken pox virus.  Is called shingles when blisters circle midriff..  In pregnancy is called a sexually transmitted disease STD or venereal disease VD.  Aloe vera gel is good for diaper rash. Also can add to salad dressings.  Zinc oxide is also good for men's sores. Vitamin B12 and A are good for affected eyes.  L-Lysine, selenium, zinc & vitamins C + E may be taken as supplements. Avoid chocolate! www.moondragon/org/health/disorders/eyesshingles.html
Herpes may be treated with zinc (ZnO) powder, cream, or supplements.  Others believe that zinc may help virus reproduction.  For now, zinc seems to be an excellent fix.  Additional helps may be colloidal silver (cream) or  tea tree oil (cream), and supplements lemon balm (melissa), olive leaf, egg lecithin, a little copper to offset the zinc supplementation, astragalus, & EFA, www.coldcure.com/html/herpes.html

Hulda Regehr Clark in The Cure for HIV and Aids warns us when taking arginine to balance it with an equal amount of lysine.   Avoid nuts which are high in arginine. Take 500 mg L-lysine 5-10 capsules 3x a day for herpes, especially at outbreak onset.  It is best to take L-glutamic acid with L-lysine, especially on an empty stomach.  These two amino acids are produced in the intestine and stomach by digesting protein, unless our gastrointestinal tract is sick or unless we neglect to eat protein! www.amazon.com
Jan de Vries in Melissa Extract, the Natural Herbal Remedy for Herpes (a Keats Good Health Guide) suggests that Lemon Balm (Melissa) is an excellent remedy as a salve or supplement.  www.amazon.com
Oral = Add Copper to high dosage of Zinc, Vitamins A & C

Strawberries may destroy the following viruses - polio virus, echo virus, reo virus, coxsackie virus, herpes simplex virus.  James E O'Brien's mini magazine The Miracle of Nature's Healing Foods published by Glove Communications Corp.
Take Lysine (amino acid) to reduce/offset Arginine (amino acid) in Diet. Lysine inhibits shingles virus reproduction whereas arginine does the opposite.  Maintain a diet high in lysine & low in arginine. Lysine foods include beef, poultry, cod, and dairy (eggs).  Omit Arginine foods such as whole wheat, nuts, berries and chocolate.  
Use ornithine instead of arginine per Erdmann in The Amino Revolution [for (nitric oxide) NO].  2/2007 Alan Inglis MD  www.healthnews.com  www.herpesrx.com/nutritional_supplements_for_herpes.htm   www.herpes.com/nutritional.shtml  
R Erdmann in The Amino Revolution says to take PM at the onset of herpes symptoms &  continue till gone: methionine (SAMe), taurine, cysteine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, vitamin A, B6, B12, C,  folic acid,  magnesium asparate.  Reduce any arginine supplements, chocolate, carob, nuts, gelatin, coconut, breads, cereal.  www.amazon.com
Walker, Dr. Morton  in his book DMSO - Nature's Healer states "Compared to aspirin, DMSO is a safer drug"
Williams, Dr. David  states "I have not had experience with any other drug in medicine which I consider to be safer. In my opinion, there are more data on human toxicology of DMSO than have ever been obtained for any other experimental drug." DMSO - The complete up-to-date guidebook
Zeolite (lava rock called bentonite clay) "appears to block viral replication, and may prove to be a potent anti-viral and general remedy for all viruses. To date, 40 anecdotal cases of herpes zoster have reportedly been healed. Preliminary anecdotal case studies suggest that it may help alleviate rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and hepatitis C as well as the common cold and flu."

Walters, Kathie of Macon, Georgia, USA      Health Related Mindsets       www.goodnews.netministries.org/kathie 
Booklet shares many potential mindsets that may trigger diseases plus some unique demonic spirits that may be root causes. "We have believed may lies which the Devil has thrown our way."
Herpes
can be triggered by not asking for and/or not accepting forgiveness for sexual sin. 
Herpes Simplex
may be triggered by bitterness over unspoken hurt/anger. 
(Praying in tongues is a good way to communicate these issues to God. 
If one cannot do this, then one can ask God to baptize him/her in the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues.)
