In this article, the Shingles is not the building material on your roof, it is the medical condition some get. However, the Shingles do surface on your skin. The purpose of this blog is to educate as corporate capitalism makes decisions based on generating money. The pharmaceutical corporations are not immune in this financial stadium – it is a game of profits over well being.
Your health or your money!!
According to the Cleveland Clinic (and many others) the Shingles is:
Shingles is nerve pain and a rash caused by the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. If you’ve had chickenpox in the past, you could get shingles. Early symptoms include burning pain, tingling and discoloration. You might get a headache or fever not long before the rash appears.
The Shingles is because of the Chickenpox but it stays around only to maybe come about at certain times in your life via the nervous system. Never had chickenpox myself but my daughter did so time will tell.
What they cannot tell you is WHY? Why does Shingles happen to some and not to others.
Shingles From the Shingles Vaccine
AI wrote…
No, the shingles vaccine cannot cause shingles.
But that isn’t true because my aunt got the Shingles vaccine and she got Shingles (yes, the doctor said it can happen), and because it was in her eye (on her head), she could not drive for months. It was painful and uncomfortable. She will never again get one of those vaccines and questions all of the others.
Science says…doctors say…’You are one in a million. It is rare. Never seen this before.’
AI does not always get its story correct and one does have to do their research to confirm. Cleveland Clinic writes “can reduce your risk of getting shingles” where reduce does not mean stop or prevent.

Deep Dive into the Root Causes
If my book All Guts All Glory provides the root causes of all disease (Dr. Tilden), then let’s unpack what the root cause(s) is as related to the Seven Stages of Disease.
The first stage of disease is ‘enervation‘ which means you have less energy – the reasons being many from working to hard and not eating well. What is your current stress levels? The WHY will be unique to you. When the body has less energy, then the toxins can build up (Toxemia Stage 2) while the stresses further deplete your energy. The functioning of your immune system is affected by your nervous system (stress). Some people stress eat or eat differently when they are busy, worried, depressed, too active, don’t sleep, and more. According to the symptoms above, the 3rd stage (Irritation) and 4th stage (Inflammation) stages come into play, such as itchiness, blisters, burning, a headache or fever is inflammation/heat.
Information can go a long way for your health, life and sanity. If you knew that you have more power in your corner, would your life be different?
Tension at the Root?
Stress or tension is also not the root cause. What? Yup, stress is not the root cause but it goes a long way to figuring it out. Why you are stressed is the question. This is where we briefly skip into what are the stressors and why. They could be physical (athlete or an accident or an injury) or emotional (divorce or job change or a home move) or mental (not feeling loved or negative ego) – let’s include the possibility of spiritual enfoldments too. At times, it can be choices we made or ones that were may for us, and since it is the past, only the present is the time to learn and grow. Our perspective on life (beliefs) and our attitude (way of thinking) to what is happening in our world determines the level of tension, pain and stress.
This may involve the past near and far (Forgiveness Prosperity).
What can you do? See things differently. Because everyone’s situation is unique, at best, this information can make us take a deep breathe and relax a little. Feel into the possibilities and seek impeccable guidance whether that comes from within you or a teacher. It may even come from a book, from a stranger or from the most unsuspecting source.
One book that I read in my corporate days was by Stephen Covey. I never forgot this quote. I use and share this quote, only at times it would come to the surface a little late but better late than never. As the awareness grows so we grow as well.
Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood is the fifth habit in Stephen Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
Back to Shingles
Back to the Shingles for a moment. The science speaks to it being caused by a virus. After reading about the root causes of all disease, do you see it differently? Viruses is an interesting topic. Viruses cannot be seen by the naked eye and on top of that, the process of seeing through a microscope is only after a multi stepped process. How do we know it is true? Isolating a virus is at best, involved and complicated. On top of that, do the submicroscopic viruses (many different ones) exist for a reason, as in, they are part of the causes of the symptoms and not the cause itself. Present at the scene but not what you think?
Like a fever or diarrhea, it lets us know about something that is going on. Best not to throw a fever under the bus. With enough hydration, the fever is there to burn up what is not suppose to be there (foreign microbes, ate bad food), however, if a condition like sepsis where a foreign substance in the body is the cause (like the substances from something decomposing, not naturally suppose to be there, can be medically caused) then medical assistance may be required if you do not have the knowledge or medicine.
Our body is a miracle. The placebo effect is real and measurable. The power of the mind for all to learn. May you accept the possibility that the remnants of chickenpox be burned away/released forever.
Live the life of healthier possibilities.

Champion for your better health…
Before the age of 20, it never dawned on me that what I chose to put in my mouth would have such a dramatic effect on my well being.
On my path of discovery, I learned that our eating choices directly affected how much energy we have first thing in the morning or that it would build our immune system strength during flu season. Part of it was coming to understand how gentle nutritional cleansing directly helped overcome my health challenges. People keep telling me how beautiful my skin is or how I look younger.
As my studies continued, it became obvious that there is an intrinsic connection between the mind, body, and spirit which directly affects our health and happiness. Omegas are another critical piece of the wellness puzzle. The Auum omegas alone turned on some switches in my brain in just one day.
I have developed a deep appreciation for the wonderful miracle workers our bodies are in the recovery process. Our bodies have natural intelligence. I am passionate to share the connection between nutrition and wellness in my practice and my presentations.
