Need Advice on BHT for Chronic Shingles - But Taking Antivirals for 6 Years

Posted By Mindy (Great Falls, VA) on 08/28/2021

Hi,

I started taking BHT for chronic shingles a week ago. I've been on antivirals for 6 years because shingles comes back immediately if I stop taking them. The shingles resides in my vagus nerve so it's very painful when it comes back. I'm taking 250mg in the morning. How long should I be on it for it to work? I have not tried going off the antivirals but should I do that? WiIs BHT something people take long term in place of the antivirals or is it supposed to kill it all together so I don't have to take either?

I really need help because I'm stuck on these antivirals and I don't know how much BHT to take and for how long. I'm about 130 lbs and 5'7”.

Thank you,

Mindy

What antivirals are you taking? Coconut oil, Oregano oil, olive leaf?

I had a horrific case of shingles two years ago and have suffered ever since. Just started taking Ivermectin (horse wormer) with 30mg of zinc and a spoonful of yogurt 5 days ago and it has really helped ease the nerve pain. Passed some parasites too. LOL Feeling soooo much better!! I will continue for a few more days and then take it once a week after that.

Shingles can be treated with acupuncture. In 1983 I was diagnosed with shingles and declined allopathy's cortisone. Acupuncture was recommended by a friend. 3 sessions in one week. All good for all these years.

My husband had shingles for a year in his upper shoulders and across the top of his back. He could bear the pain for a few hours, then would fly off the handle over the smallest thing because the pain overwhelmed him. He did everything Doctors told him to do which was Z Packs. Did nothing for him. Then I took him to my herbalist who said she felt The Lord was directing her to tell him: take 2 to 3 ounces of highly absorbable liquid Magnesium. Wait 3 to 5 minutes. Then take 2 to 3 ounces Zinc. Repeat 4 or 5 times during the day and night. He did so for a week and he was well! She explained the magnesium chases the virus out of the cell and the zinc kills it. It was amazing. We buy our liquid minerals from a specific company because of how the minerals are ionized I believe is correct term to make it highly absorbable. I hope you get relief.

I have chronic issues with herpes simplex, the coldsore virus to the same extreme as you have with shingles. I can't get off the anti-virals. I tried BHT for 9 months at 360mg a day but it never helped me eliminate the virus. Apparently it doesn't work for everyone but it does work for some. I am using Lauricidin, Lysine, and Fulvic and Humic Acid to break replication.

Sorry to report that bht did not work to stop my chronic shingles. ( over 10 years outbreaks )

However, since I've been taking calcium chelate, 600mg. daily, for 2 months. now, I've had no outbreaks.

I'll continue to experiment because shingles is miserable, along with calcium deficiency.

I'm not sure that calcium is antiviral ; I believe its action is to protect nerves.

I recommend it.

Colloidal Silver orally & on skin surface (Bio-Active Silver Hydrosol)

Apply Manuka Honey +20 & cover overnight & do masks during the day, Vitamin D3 drops (don't overdo it), and/or walk outside every day for at least 20 minutes. And of course Vitamin C.

Good Luck. Hope you let us know what works for you.

Since you mentioned the vagus nerve, watch some episodes about Vagus nerve degeneration by Dr. Ross Hauser MD.
