Hi -

Testimonial:
Finally, I thought of using baking soda, sodium bicarbonate, topically.
I mixed it with water so I had a thick paste. Then I applied that to
the rash. Within 30 minutes I felt tingling. Soon after that the pain
went way down, and finally to nothing. Amazing! I learned that you
have to LEAVE the baking soda on the skin. If you wipe it off, the pain
returns immediately. Also, you cannot store that solution, since it
goes flat in a few hours. It has to be freshly made, so do not make too
much at a time. It is not hard to mix baking soda and water anyhow….
In a short time the bumps started having white heads, which I promptly
squeezed out, and applied more baking soda on the top. Soon there was a
red scab on the top of them. This worked out so well for me that I
quit taking pain medication, and have only using baking soda. I have
been slowly been able to use my left arm again. I am not a big baby,
and can take a lot of pain. I seldom take any medication, not even
aspiring. I refuse to take any antibiotics.
I think I have been under a lot of stress, but have subconsciously
denied it. Finally my body told me to change something. I truly
recommend using baking soda/water paste. It is clean, efficient, fast
help, economical and does not damage your body in the process. I feel
as healthy as I was two weeks ago, so HOORAY, and I do not have to claim
medical bankruptcy. The box of baking soda costs 75 cents. My one
application was about one teaspoon with 4 drops of water.
Testimonial:
Burning pain on my head from shingles (excruciating pain that would last
30 seconds, like a flame being held to my skin) stopped immediately
after soaking a wash cloth in Listerine (gold colored Listerine), and dabbing the areas on my
head that were affected. I also drank 1-oz of apple cider vinegar (I
mixed with apple juice – it tasted fine), I took an L-Lysine 500 mg
vitamin, and a B vitamin.
All this just in the past half hour – so
far – the Listerine began working immediately! I could see the color
change on the areas of my head as I applied it!! I did drink the apple
cider vinegar just before I put on the Listerine, you should try it! I
will wait and see as the day moves forward what happens….
I do plan
on dabbing some more Listerine (gold colored Listerine) on the affected areas periodically
throughout the day (I am going to carry a small bottle of Listerine with
a washcloth to dab on the affected areas of my head if I go out in
public, just in case… since it seemed to work immediately) – and I plan
on drinking the 1 oz of apple cider vinegar 3 – 4 times a day (if I get a
pain, I will drink some immediately and apply the Listerine immediately
as well). I plan on taking the L-Lysine (500 mg) morning and night,
and a B vitamin once a day as well from here on out (I got these ideas
from the blogs above – seems to work so far!). You can buy L-Lysine in
the vitamin section at a drugstore.
I also plan on buying some
Eucalyptus essential oil (at a herbalist, or over the Internet – since I
did not see it at the drugstore). It is believed that the Eucalyptus
is the active ingredient in the Listerine (all Listerine has it as an
ingredient) that stops the burning pain. I waited about 5 days too long
to start my antibiotics (Acyclovir) – so this is helping so far. Try
to keep calm, as stress seems to bring on the pain as well…

Testimonial:
LISTERINE! (gold colored Listerine)
I had been sleeping with ice packs to numb the intense
pain and waking repeatedly in agonizing pain every night. I read this
blog and bought the Listerine. I soaked a towel in Listerine and left
it on the affected area, reapplying twice more in one night.
I
experienced absolutely NO pain all night! Pain was much less today.
Tonight will be a redo with the Listerine compress and I am hopeful to
be free from all pain soon. Nothing else came close, please give
Listerine a try. Thank you all for writing. It helped to read your
words the night i was suffering beyond belief. Good luck, God bless all
of you fellow sufferers.

Testimonial:
A friend of mine suddenly broke with shingles all over her face, she was
in terrible pain – I did a little research on a few websites and found a
nice and easy home remedy that essentially eases that pain for a few
hours – try this – crush 1/4 Asprin and blend it into around 1/2
teaspoon unscented moisturiser (vitamin e cream would work too) and then
takes a cotton tip and dab the effected areas gently ensuring you
completely cover the sores/blisters. My friend was absolutely
astonished! Within minutes the pain had completely subsided – after a
few hours the pain started coming back so we covered the areas again and
again, within minutes – the pain is gone. I have read since that Aspirin
is an anti inflammatory as well as a pain killer so has two effects –
eases the pain and reduces any swelling. It’s not a cure but a simple
solution to quickly and cheaply help reduce your pain – give it go – my
friend swears by it!

Testimonial:
The best thing for pain I found by far was Neuragen
cream–natural/homeopathic and knocked out the localized nerve pain–it
goes in deep. Look for it in the diabetic section (it’s used for
diabetic neuropathy). A godsend!
###
Testimonial:
I decided to do my own research, started taking the cider vinegar, used
the gold Listerine on the areas, started the Lysine 1000 mg, used X
strength Tylenol and it worked!
###
Testimonial:
A friend tried her family doctor’s advice and tried a home remedy for
her early shingles——-vick’s vapo rub. It works. Since it contains
similar ingredients as gold Listerine, that would explain a lot. I love
vick’s. And, castor oil applied to the skin. Somebody ought to try
rubbing a little onto shingles.
