Shingles

Condition
Viral infection that camps out in liver or colon, waiting for immune system to weaken. When it explodes, causes rash and nerve damage with long-lasting effects.

Important Notes

  • Caffeine is not the cause of shingles, but it is a major trigger for outbreaks. There is a good chance that almost every single shingles attack in the world involved caffeine to some degree. Caffeine acts as an immune system breaker — when someone's immune system is already slightly compromised and they are consuming caffeine periodically or daily, caffeine becomes a perfect recipe for triggering a shingles attack. This applies even to people who don't realize they have shingles (non-rashing varieties).
  • Colostrum, despite being marketed as immune-supporting, directly feeds the shingles virus (and all EBV, HSV, and other herpetic viruses). Taking colostrum during a shingles flare or with active shingles will cause the virus to explode and proliferate rapidly. This is a dangerous supplement for anyone with known or suspected shingles.
  • Perfumes, colognes, air fresheners, scented candles, detergents, and fabric softeners can feed and worsen shingles
  • Shingles virus rises up when the immune system is knocked down by COVID, flu, RSV, or other viral infections. The shingles virus was dormant and comes out when the body's defenses are weakened. People recovering from major viral illnesses need extra immune support (propolis, zinc, cat's claw, lemon balm) to prevent shingles reactivation during this vulnerable period.
  • Neurotoxin Production: As shingles strengthens, it produces more neurotoxins which increase chemical sensitivity.
  • Viral transmission: Can be passed down from parents, through blood transfusions, exchange of bodily fluids, public bathrooms, grocery cart handles, or blood from chef's finger on food
  • EBV: Caused by Epstein-Barr virus
  • Feeds on: Eggs, dairy, toxic heavy metals (especially mercury). Caffeine is a major trigger — almost every single shingles attack in the world, caffeine was involved to some degree.
  • Weakened Immunity: Explodes when immune system is weakened - from not taking propolis, stress, poor care
  • Feeding: Feeds on eggs, dairy, and toxic heavy metals like mercury. Gets more potent when well-fed.
  • 31 varieties of shingles: Medical communities believe there is just one type, but there are 31 varieties and counting. Most cases aren't even recognized as shingles by doctors. People can have two varieties simultaneously.
  • Transmission routes: Passed from parents, infected blood transfusions, bodily fluids, public bathrooms (toilet seats), restaurant utensils (forks and utensils aren't sterilized like dental tools — one of biggest ways to catch shingles).
  • Post-Viral Immune Suppression: Rises up when immune system is knocked down by COVID, flu, or RSV. The virus was dormant and comes out when defenses are low.
  • Herpes zoster virus: Shingles is caused by herpes zoster virus, which is entirely different from chickenpox virus - they are two different species of herpes virus
  • Shingles virus: Shingles virus camps out in the liver or colon, feeds on metals like mercury, eggs, dairy, then explodes when immune system is weakened
  • Shingles passed through generations: The shingles virus is passed from parents to children — in utero or through bodily contact early in life. Most people carrying the shingles virus acquired it from their parents before they were old enough to be aware of it. This explains why young people in their 20s and 30s can have shingles — they were not old enough to have developed it from a typical stress trigger; they have been carrying it since birth or early childhood.
  • The shingles virus is the true cause of trigeminal neuralgia, frozen shoulder, ulcerative colitis, and many cases of neck pain, jaw pain, gum and tooth pain, tongue pain, burning sensations inside the mouth, burning sensations on the skin, pain in the back of the head, some migraine-related pain, mystery sciatica, mystery lower back pain, neuropathy, and a stagnant, sluggish liver. There are shingles infections without rashes and with rashes, and there are over 30 varieties of shingles, all but one undiscovered.
  • Caffeine as trigger: There's a good chance that almost every single shingles attack out there in this world, caffeine was involved to some degree. Caffeine's not the cause of shingles but it's a great trigger. If somebody's immune system is already challenged, caffeine can be that one more thing that breaks the camel's back
  • NOT from chicken pox: You cannot get shingles from chicken pox. They're both herpes family viruses that cause rashes, but different species with nothing to do with each other.
