I stopped taking L-arginine and that did help a lot, but the shingles still continued.
Spraying calamine lotion also helped.
I tired a ton of things from earth clinic; I can't even remember them all.
I still have shingles, but it IS going away.

My mother cured her shingles with massive doses of L-Lysine (1500-3000 mg/day), ACV soaks (soak towel, let sit for 10-15 minutes a few times a day) and this phenomenal gunk called WonderSalve from Durham's Bee Farms. Hope this helps you.Replied by Dave (Fountain Inn, Sc) on 11/28/2013
Hello Grannyguru, About Shingles;
Here's a salve remedy that has worked amazing well over the years.
Ten caps of cayenne pepper. There are different units of heat, just choose any
Five caps of NATURAL Vitamin E to make sure the cayenne does not burn the skin.
Twenty drops of colloidal silver.
Twenty drops of DMSO to carry the ingredients to the site of the nerve where the virus is raging.
Apply the salve (gooey) to the eruptions. Let dry for two hours. Rinse off and next day you should notice the eruptions have gone from angry red to rust color. Re apply the salve the next day. Let dry for two hours.
Repeat two days later if necessary. I got rid of mine in two applications. If the immune system is impaired then you'll see a longer time for recovery.
Also, drink a tablespoon of the Colloidal Silver daily for a week or so and two caps of cayenne and a 200 iu capsule daily of the natural E (NOT synthetic) daily for two weeks.
The cayenne will cauterize the virus and the CS will also kill it. The DMSO is a carrier/solvent and the E is a healer and will keep skin from being burned by the pepper.
