Since this outbreak was on the right side of my right ankle I couldn't get a close look at it so I used an Otoscope projected on my tablet to get a closer look. That's when I saw pustules and it hit me "ah crap I got Shingles". By then the area was rubbed raw and hurt like the dickens and super itchy. It's now January and these shingles aren't getting better and Today I think I found out why. About 6 months ago I started supplementing with Organic Cacao and apparently Cacao is shingles food. So I thought I would post this on here to help out anyone who might be experiencing the same thing. Here is the results I got from Grok on the subject:
Why Cacao/Chocolate Is Often Recommended to Avoid with Shingles
Shingles outbreaks can be influenced by diet, particularly the balance of two amino acids: arginine and lysine.
Arginine can promote replication of herpes-family viruses (including varicella-zoster).
Lysine may help counteract arginine and support immune response.
Cacao (especially dark or raw varieties) and chocolate are relatively high in arginine. Many health sources advise avoiding or minimizing them during an outbreak to prevent worsening symptoms or prolonging recovery.
Here are some practical examples of foods to limit (including cacao/chocolate):
Instead, focus on lysine-rich foods (e.g., dairy, fish, eggs, and certain meats) and immune-supporting nutrients like vitamins C, E, zinc, and B12.

I am reading about this kind of stroke on Earth Clinic. I thank God for this website. I was just wondering what milligram of Melatonin should I take. I am on no pharmaceuticals. My stats are all excellent. My blood pressure is around 121/ 70. My cholesterol is over 200; however, my HDLs are 130 and my LDLs are 90. My doctor is telling my that my total cholestorol is perfect due to my high HDLs. Any advice is so appreciated. My fear is a reoccurrence. Can one have a stroke from a bad hit? Thank you so much.

Fill the bottle with 4 oz hot distilled water.
Add one teaspoon of pure borax, such as 20 Mule Team borax.
Shake vigorously until the borax is dissolved.
Mentions DMSO, but do I do both in the same hot water?
EC: Regarding the article at: https://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/topical-borax-application.htmlNo, you rub in a few drops of DMSO AFTER rubbing the borax solution into the skin. We'll make that clearer in the article. Thanks for pointing it out.

My pain is primarily on my left side including frozen shoulder, so I am using the black node on the left side. Is that correct? Today is my 3rd day with the Brain Driver and have to say I had less burning pain last night so am hopeful! Your contributions on Earth Clinic are so significant and appreciated. I feel that several of the changes I have made over the last month are all coming together and my health is finally improving.

Hello, simply massage pure DMSO, or DMSO mixed with salt, onto your gums with your finger. Do this several times during the day and before going to sleep, and do not rinse afterwards. The root canal will heal... Thank you and get well soon!
