What is Shingles?

Shingles is a disease that starts with allergy-like red rashes on the skin and turns into water-filled vesicles and then painful wounds. Its importance is that the pain, which can impair quality of life, can continue after the skin lesions have passed. It is caused by the chickenpox virus varicella zoster, which settles in the nerve roots. It is seen in a certain area of ​​the body along the nerve spread area, depending on the nerve it affects. If it affects the cranial nerves, it can cause severe pain in the head area, mouth, face and eye areas.

Why Does It Happen?

The Varicella Zoster virus is found in everyone who has had chickenpox or has been vaccinated and continues its life by settling in the nerve roots. As long as the immune system is strong, it does not cause any harm. However, when the immune system weakens in a stressful situation, it becomes active and causes the disease. Mental stress has a very important place in this regard. However, physical and chemical stresses that fill the individual stress pool also facilitate the emergence of shingles.

How is Shingles Treated?

Classical medical methods include the use of painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve symptoms along with antiviral drugs. In the long term, antiepileptic drugs are preferred for neuropathic pain that develops after the wounds heal.

In terms of regulation medicine, neural therapy injections, especially to the affected nerve segment, are extremely valuable in terms of both pain control and rapid resolution of the disease and prevention of possible neuropathic pain. It can also be effective in the treatment of patients with advanced neuropathic pain. In addition, neural therapy is valuable for the treatment of interference fields, hormonal balance and reduction of biophysical stress load.

Microsystem acupuncture, homeopathy and psychokinesiology make significant contributions to reducing mental stress.

In order to prevent recurrences of shingles in the long term, the total stress load of the body must be reduced. For this purpose, intestinal flora and candida levels, heavy metal and latent acidosis levels, food sensitivities, mental stress level and teeth are scanned, primarily interference field scans. Thus, a list of the body’s stress loads is created.

If the intestinal flora is damaged and there is a candida problem, a sugar-free candida diet is applied, taking into account food sensitivities. Intestinal flora is supported.

If there are acid and heavy metal loads, a chelation program is organized.
