Shingles Healing

SHINGLES HEALING

Shingles can be an extremely painful and disabling illness with possible long-term complications and emotional scarring.

Shingles Overview: In the US, there are about 1 million cases of shingles per year. One third of Americans will get shingles in their lifetime. Shingles and chickenpox (measles) are both caused by the same varicella-zoster virus. Shingles cannot be spread from person to person. Shingles can only occur in people who has had chickenpox already or had the chickenpox vaccine. The varicella-zoster virus lives dormant in the nerves and then the virus gets reactivated due to various stressors to develop shingles. If a person, who has never had chickenpox ever, touches the blisters fluid of the shingles then that person can get chickenpox and then possibly a shingles breakout later in life. Chickenpox is very contagious and can be spread by coughing and sneezing.

Shingles Timeline: Until the rashes appear, shingles can sometimes be very difficult and tricky to diagnose. Initially, there could be a tingling, burning, hot, irritable, itchy, painful sensation on the skin. Sometimes the pain can be so severe that it’s mistaken to be a chest (heart attack) pain, a deep muscle and/or ligaments injuries, a bad headache or deep ear ache, or vision problems.

Within 1-5 days certain small red rashes appear expanding down certain nerve(s) dermatone on one side of the body. The rashes typically appear on the chest, abdomen, upper and lower back, limbs, neck, and face. The rashes can quickly expand and cover large areas of the body within 1-2 days. From the rashes, fluid filled blisters then develop over and within the rashes. After 7-10 days, the lesions crust over, and the rashes usually clear within 30 days. Due to the nerve inflammation and damage from the VZ virus, the person can experience much pain, ranging from mild to excruciating-disabling pain. Even when the rashes are cleared, 20% of people can develop a long-term complication called post herpetic neuralgia (PHN) in which the pain can persists for months or even years.

Causes of Shingles outbreak: Once the varicella-zoster virus is in the body, it lies dormant living in the nerves (nervous system) of the body forever. If the body’s immune system is adequate, the VZ virus is kept in check and there would be no shingles outbreak. However, if the immune system is weakened or compromised due to various stressors then the VZ virus gets activated and the shingles outbreak occurs. There is no cure for shingles. Once the VZ virus gets activated to become shingles, the virus must run its course. Stressors can include physical and/or emotional stress, aging (50+ yr), poor diet, lack of sleep, steroids and cancer drugs, alcohol/drugs abuse, recent vaccinations, pesticides/insecticides exposure, and increased sun/radiation exposure. Teenagers and young adults can develop shingles. A person can get more than one shingles episode in his/her lifetime.

OTHER SHINGLES COMPLICATIONS:

Post herpetic neuralgia is the most common complication of shingles. Other shingles complications include:

  • Cellulitis – Shingles blisters (scratched) can become infected with bacteria.

  • Vision loss – If the shingles affect the nose, face, or forehead.

  • Ear damages – Can adversely affect hearing and balance.

  • Meningitis / Encephalitis – If shingles cause damages to the brain.

  • May weaken muscles of the affected side.

  • Vasculopathy – The blood vessels are damaged and can increase stroke risk for few weeks or months.

Shingles can be an incredibly painful, disabling, and traumatizing illness with possible serious short- and long-term complications. Sometimes shingles can leave permanent scars on the skin and face, causing physical and emotional distress. Sometimes the pain is so severe that it becomes unbearable even with medical assistance. Healing from shingles will require many different therapies, medications, and supplements to ensure a more beneficial and optimal recovery.

CONVENTIONAL TREATMENTS FOR SHINGLES

For mild cases of shingles, these conventional therapies might be sufficient. However, for more serious shingles outbreaks, much more therapies and support are needed to heal and recover optimally.

The typical treatment for shingles from physicians are usually limited to these options:

1. Prescription for anti-viral medications such as Acyclovir or Valtrex to slow the progression of the shingles virus. However, these meds are mainly effective within the 1 st 72 hours after the shingles outbreak.

2. Possible pain control with various medications, including strong opioid pain killer if needed.

3. Possible steroid medication to decrease the pain and inflammation.

REVITALIFE TREATMENTS AND THERAPIES FOR SHINGLES:

Revitalife Medical is now offering a comprehensive strategy to help with the quick recovery from shingles, to decrease the physical pain and suffering of shingles, and to decrease the possible damaging psychological and emotional effects of shingles.

General Health Support: Essential nutrients to support the body’s function.

  1. Daily One – Multivitamins derived from real food source.

  2. Omega 3’s – Wild fish oil to help with healing and inflammation.

  3. Probiotics – Good intestinal bacteria for immunity and gut function.

  4. Perfect Aminos – Complete amino acids for healing and regeneration.

Immune Support: Vital nutrients to support and optimize immune system.

  1. Vitamin C – Antioxidant that is vital for immunity and healing.

  2. Vitamin D3 – Crucial for immunity, inflammation, and minerals absorption.

  3. Zinc – Helps with immunity, wound healing, cell growth, and nerve function.

  4. Melatonin – Powerful antioxidant that help with sleep, immunity, and mood.

  5. L-lysine – An amino acid that supports immunity, mood, and collagen.

  6. H2O2 Nebulizer – Hydrogen peroxide solution for anti-viral and immunity.

Adrenal Support: Help increase body’s stress response to the shingles.

  1. B’s Vitamins – To improve energy, combat stress, and nerve healing.

  2. Hydrocortisone (Rx) – Body’s natural hormone to withstand stressors. Dosing is 5mg (1/4 pill) to 10mg (1/2 pill) to 20mg (1 pill) every 6-8 hours until recovery. Decrease dose if medication is too overstimulating like coffee.

Anti-Viral Support: Rx meds to slow the progression of the shingles virus. Most effective if taken within the 1st 72 hours after the shingles outbreak.

  1. Acyclovir – Anti-viral med to be taken as 800mg 5x/day.

  2. Valtrex – Anti-viral med to be taken as 1000mg 3x/day.

Potent Immune And Anti-Viral IV Therapies: Most powerful therapies to boost immunity, eradicate bugs and germs, prevent wound infections, and quickly improve overall general health and wellness.

  1. Ozone IV – Oxygen therapy that has been in existence for 100+ years. Ozone has been shown to inactivate viruses, bacteria, fungi, yeast, and protozoa. Ozone also quickly balances and super-charges the immune system. Ozone helps with energy and mitochondrial functions. For best results, it’s recommended to do 2 ozone IV the first week. Then one ozone IV per week afterward until recovery.

  2. High Dose Vitamin C IV – With IV, Vit C is absorbed 100% into the body vs 10-20% by oral ingestion. Vit C is critical for immunity, stress response, and connective tissues health. Vit C is highly useful to bolster the immune system when fighting acute or chronic viral and bacterial infections. For best results, it’s recommended to do 2 Vit C IV the first week. Then one Vit C iv per week afterward until recovery

Pain Support: Adequate pain control which can be mild or excruciatingly disabling.

  1. Dosing is 250-500mg every 12 hours.

  2. Narco (Rx) – A powerful medication for break-through pain. Dosing is ½ pill 2x/day as needed for severe pain. Avoid alcohol and sedative meds when taking this medication.

  3. CBD capsules – From the cannabis plant that causes no high like THC. Helps with pain, anxiety, muscle soreness, seizure disorders, sleep, and mood.

  4. Shingles Soothing Cream – Organic cream with raw Manuka honey, essential vitamins and nutrients to quickly restore and heal the skin. Very effective remedy for the pain, burning, and itching of the affected shingles skin area. Can be apply on skin every 3-6 hours. Recommend washing skin with water after every 2-3 applications. 

  5. Prolozone Shots – For specific spot(s) or area of extreme pain, injecting ozone gas with a local anesthetic can provide an almost immediate short-term relief from the pain. Prolozone shots on a regular basis can potentially provide longer term pain relief. The ozone/oxygen can help heal the damaged and inflamed nerve to avoid long term nerve pain complications.

7. Emotional / Psychological Support: Helps with mental and emotional distress associated with the shingles outbreak.

  1. Oxytocin – A natural hormone that your body produces when you are hugged and loved. It’s called the “love and bonding hormone”. Helps with anxiety and stress and increases inner sense of peacefulness. Helps with pain and healing from injuries. Oxytocin is greatly released during childbirth to dampen the pain and PTSD associated with labor. This helps transform the painful and possibly traumatic childbirth process into a more positive experience so that a mother is open to having another baby.

  2. Ketamine Sessions – Ketamine is a safe general anesthetic that is used worldwide for surgeries. In low dose, Ketamine has been touted as the best treatment for depression in the last 50 years. Ketamine is very effective for stress, anxiety, depression, and PTSD issues. Ketamine is also very effective for various pain conditions. Most patients notice positive improvements with hours lasting 5 to 10 days. One ketamine session per week for 4 weeks can be incredibly helpful with the mental distress and PTSD associated with the shingles outbreak.

Energetic Support: Electronic frequencies for anti-virus, pain, and inflammation.

  1.  ProGen Frequency DeviceAn electronic device that has frequencies programmed for anti-viral against the Herpes Zoster virus and frequencies to decrease pain and inflammation. There are small gel pads that contact the skin where the frequencies are sent over from the ProGen device (similar to a TENS device for muscular and ligament injuries). This is done for few hours throughout the day. There’s a refundable $1000 deposit for this device since the device cost $2200.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): Increase oxygenation to the body has numerous health benefits including: improving wounds healing, decreasing pain and inflammation, increasing energy, increasing immunity, enhancing tissue repair, improving brain functions, and helping with infections. Under higher atmospheric pressure, the body is able to easily absorb much more oxygenation than under normal atmospheric pressure. A person would lay inside a HBOT chamber for 60-75 minutes per session. For best results, it’s recommended to do 1 to 3 HBOT sessions per week until recovery.

Revitalife will offer all of these shingles therapies and remedies as 3 separate packages with 15% off from the normal pricing. Any additional purchases to the package already purchased will also have a 15% discount.

Each package will include all medications, vitamins, and supplements for a 30 days course. A person can purchase a 2 nd 30 days course later if needed.
