A few years ago I had a dental implant, and it caused shingles for the first time. It was a Friday afternoon and my doc had left the office. His nurse asked me what anti inflammatories I had at home and I replied Turmeric. She told me to load up so I took 2Kmg every hours for 3 hours. When I had finished I notice the terrible pain on my scalp subside and by the next morning, the pain was gone. On Monday I saw the doc and he only found one small blister that was almost healed. Now I am using turmeric for sciatica and it's wonderful. My pain is almost gone along with my foot arthritis, toes fungus. Great stuff.

A reliable cure for Shingles is the crushed herb Turmeric used in curry or to boil with rice which gives it a bright yellow colour. This herb is a wonderful antiseptic for shingles. Simply take a teaspoon of it with jam or peanut butter twice a day and within a week your painful shingles is history. I use it on a daily basis but I have never had shingles and am quite healthy, I am 76yrs old. Lou

My 85 year old mom has been suffering excruciating pain due to shingles (along the nerve on the back of her leg to her waist) for the past 3 weeks. The pain was unbearable and she could not sleep at all because of the pain. I could no longer bear to watch her suffer so much so I looked up this site and found turmeric and apple cider vinegar. I made 00 capsules filled with tumeric and gave her 2 capsules before going to bed last night and mixed ACV with 1 tbsp honey and made her drink it. When I came to see her this morning, she said that it was the first night she had not felt any pain in the last 3 weeks. She has become a believer in natural remedies and so have I. Thanks to everyone for your testimonies.
