Shingles and the shingles vaccine

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


More and the more the local pharmacies have signs out advertising that they administer shingles vaccines along with flu vaccines. If the medical establishment had their way, everyone everywhere would be injected with all manner of vaccines regardless of their effectiveness or harmful effects.

We’ve written extensively about the flu vaccine hoax. There is plenty of evidence the flu vaccine is at best ineffective and more likely quite harmful. But the pro-vaccine propaganda continues because flu vaccines are a boon for the medical industrial complex. Same with the shingles vaccine.

Shingles is caused by a reactivation of dormant varicella zoster (chicken pox) virus. It is most common in older adults and people with immune systems weakened by stress, injury, medications or other reasons. It affects about one-third to one-fourth of people who have had chickenpox.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends the shingles vaccine “to reduce the risk of shingles and its associated pain in people 60 years old or older.”

“Reduce the risk…” they say. And there’s the rub. How many people need to be vaccinated on order for anyone’s risk to be reduced? Well, have you heard of “NNT”? Not many have. It’s the number needed to treat, namely, the number of people who need to get a drug in order for it to be effective for one person, and thus, for the drug companies to be able to claim it “reduces risk.”

According to a study by the Cochrane Collaboration, in a trial involving more than 38,000 participants, the incidence of herpes zoster at a follow-up three years after receiving the vaccine was lower than in those who had not received it. But 60 people had to be vaccinated to prevent just one person from getting shingles.

The incidence of adverse events was higher in the vaccinated group than the unvaccinated. For example, just over half of subjects in these studies have injection site reactions such as pain, swelling, etc.

A study of 8,122 participants administered a new vaccine not yet available for the public showed a slightly better rate of benefit. In that study, 33 people had to be vaccinated for one to benefit. The incidence of adverse events was again higher in the vaccinated group.

The study points out that all the studies examined by the Cochrane Collaboration received funding from the pharmaceutical industry.

If you contract shingles your doctor will prescribe anything from painkillers to anti-depressants to topical creams. But the best thing I’ve found for shingles is L-lysine salve (which also works for herpes simplex).

Vitamin C has shown to inhibit the replication of the virus. And high doses of B12 have also shown to be an effective treatment.

L-lysine is a natural amino acid found in the body. It comes from foods like meats and fish, yogurt, cheese, milk, eggs, apples, pears, apricots, avocados, pineapples, green beans and asparagus. L-lysine supplements are also available.

Two other treatments at the site of shingles are propolis and zinc oxide. Researchers have identified more than 300 compounds in propolis, many of which are polyphenols – antioxidants that fight disease and damage in the body. It is especially good at healing sores and wounds. You can get zinc oxide in some sunscreens, but those are usually full of chemicals, so stick with a natural diaper rash ointment which will be around 40 percent zinc oxide.

For relief of symptoms you can try this treatment:

Soak a rag in apple cider vinegar. Sprinkle cayenne pepper powder over the lesions and cover them with the vinegar-soaked rag. Use a hot water bottle or some other safe heat source to apply heat to the area over the rag. This will also provide relief from the itching.

During a shingles outbreak you should eat more of the foods mentioned above that provide L-lysine and avoid foods with arginine like:

  • Tomatoes
  • Wheat germ
  • Brussels sprouts
  • Cashews
  • Grapes
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Pecans
  • Blackberries
  • Peanuts,
  • Chocolate
  • Sugars

Consuming these foods will cause arginine levels in the body to rise which helps the herpes virus to thrive.
