I got shingles at 24 years old. Was one of the most stressful times of my life and told it was due to stress by the Doctor. Have had a lot of loss in my life and had many other issues going on at the time. I’m sorry to anyone who gets shingles because it truly does suck.
I had shingles when I was 22 years old. I had it again at age 64. I’m very healthy, but both times were painful. I’ve been taking vitamin D since then.
Wow..... My family has a tendency to get shingles. When my physician found that out 21 years ago she put me on a high vitamin D supplement. I'm now in my 70s, still taking vitamin D daily. Never have been attacked by shingles. My physician must have been aware of this. Thank you doctor!!
You are so fortunate. Our house doctor diagnosed me incorrectly, told my mom to give me pain meds and sent me home. I'm still suffering with every day dull pains in my leg and left foot. Had flareups until last year! Had about three treatments and nothing worked. Due to metabolic syndrome I've been on vit D (50,000IU) for the last three years along with Dostinex for a microadenoma on my pituitary gland along with Neurobion and being on these seems to keep the devil at ease. Shingles is a life long struggle and what makes it worse is people think I'm making it up when I say I'm in pain. My mother unfortunately got it in her face about a year ago 😰
At 46, I had shingles. At first there was no rash, and my doctor thought I was nuts due to the amount of pain and crying I was doing. HERE’S WHAT HELPED: An epidural above the rash done by an anesthesiologist/pain doctor. I mean, immediate relief. As a burn survivor, 3rd degree: 52 percent with more than 30 operations in my lifetime; I have a high tolerance for pain. The shingles pain was up there with the skin grafts failing. Just wanted to share what worked for me.
I had it when I was 19😭 thank God my boyfriend's dad at the time knew what it was and rushed me to the hospital and the doctor knew to give me Valtrax which literally took the pain away and cleared it up, I am 40 now and haven't had it again🙏
I had shingles, the prescription was about $200 and the doctor said it can still spread and take over 6 months to heal. Instead, I took 2 teaspoons morning and night of black cumin seed oil, various immune boosting vitamins like astaxanthan, vit c. I rubbed black cumin seed oil topically as well as arnica gel. It was gone in 2 weeks. No black scabbing, no stinging or burning. Gone.
All the things I have learned from our home remedies is great! It doesn’t cost as much as a dr visit either! Prevention is the basic key but when you have an ailment, it is good to know all you can to have what you can to remedy the situation! God blesses all!
$200 what mine was $15 an without insurance it would been $25 & I’m in California I’m just clearing now the blisters turned to scab an now started to come off
The thing is, the conventional doctors (allopathic MD's) don't OWN the hospitals, those are paid for by tax payers who should have a choice, somebody like Doctor Berg would be most welcome at Patch Adams Guesigntight institute where a wide variety of physicians are recognized, not just MD's alone.
When I had shingles, I used cayenne pepper (mixed with enough water to make a paste) on the rash. When the rash was gone, I used geranium oil for the nerve tingles. The outbreak lasted only about one week.
That was all I used. I get lots of home remedies off of the Earthclinc website, which is where I learned about the cayenne and geranium. I will always try home remedies and homeopathy first, however, sometimes I do go to the doctor/hospital as a last resort.
Shingles put me in the hospital, it was Hades on Earth and I will never forget it, but like childbirth it's that type of situation, so thank you Doc for all that you're doing for all of us!
This makes so much sense. I had a very bad shingles breakout three years ago and it lasted for almost a year maybe longer. I was in so much pain. My doctor didn't really have much solutions but he put me on vitamin D just because, he was very concerned how low I was in Vitamin D. A very short time after taking 10000 units twice per day, my shingles went away and has not returned. I'm down to 2000 units per day in Vitamin D now, this all makes perfect sense.
My doctor wanted to give opiates for the pain 🥴 I declined right away cause I know those things can become addictive after not taking them lol no sir I’ll live happily with pain then be an addicted an ruin myself
Just got through a severe episode of shingles. Yes used a blend of essential oils to help manage pain. Took Vitamin D by mouth but didn't know about Vitamin D cream. Will order some ASAP. Have depressed immune system from chemotherapy and then a traumatic fall that fractured my hand and front teeth. You are just a wealth of information thanks Doc.
wow that's a lot. Vitamin K2 can help heal bone fractures is my understanding. I take a high dose as I'm trying to restore my teeth, I take 5 mgs a day. It can cause nausea. There are K2 drops by Thorne where each drop is 1 mg so you can start slowly if interested.
I had shingles in 2018 and it was horrific. I was battling Lyme disease at the time too so it was even more painful. I had been bitten years before and was never diagnosed properly, so my symptoms were progressing til I couldn't walk. I can totally relate to some people wanting commit suicide. The pain was so intense, I barely slept and couldn't function for weeks on top of being down already. Thanks for the video.
I have lyme since 2015...shingles 2016..cov 2021...now constant shingles like pain in area i had it in. Years of crippling pain. Loosing mobility. Can you share What treatments have helped you? Tyia
Vitamin D is what we all need. I take 5000 units a day everday for the last 15 years along wih zinc, selenium, vitamin k2, C, melatonin and garlic supplement. Haven't had even a Cold in 15 years.
Am healthy, exercise regularly, eat healthy. Take vitD 10,000UI daily for 2+years, QUERCETIN, K2, cod liver oil, Mg, Got it this summer due to stress. Debating getting shingles shot (vaccine?.) … should I get it? Thanks.
I'm 61 and my wife is 59, we we're both getting sick quite a bit with colds and flu prior to 2020 and then the virus hit and we all started taking everything we could to increase our immune systems which fortunately included vitamin D, we started taking 6000 IU everyday right about March of 2020 and as God is my witness neither of us has had so much as a sniffle since then with 1 exception, about April of 2021 we both caught C19 but it was so mild for both of us we were over in an a few days and we didn't experience any of the bad things we were hearing others say like the loss of smell or the coughing or any of that, we both had a high temp for 1 day each and that was it, we tested positive but didn't experience any symptoms other than a high temp for a day and then irregular temps for a few days after but that was it. I fully believe it was the fact we had a full year of building our immune systems with Vitamin D, Vitamin C and Zinc that kept us from getting that sick from C19. We still take the same amount everyday and will continue to do so for the rest of the time the good Lord sees fit to bless us with.
If you take a lot of vitamin D please take vitamin K2 as well as high dose vitamin D is associated with the calcification of arteries and K2 prevents this. Best to get a blood test done to check out your vitamin D levels and perhaps cut down on it during the summer.
@@patriciapiper6294 I haven’t had it in years due to taking vitamins including a high vitamin d. Didn’t realize why till this video it was that!. Thank you.
Take oil of oregano internally and you'll never have it again. Kills all herpes viruses. I used to be plagued with cold sores then they stopped. Also the supplement lysine. Look these up and you will see them in medical studies killing chicken pox, shingles, herpes, coldsores
Try L - Lyseine .an amino acid that is prescribed for cold sores...it boosts collagen as well...can be found in the vitamin section of any drugstore...cheap...and it suppressed my second outbreak of shingles in only a few days!
I’m was 38 when I got shingles. It hurt so bad. I could barely see the rash. But Felt it all on my back and through my right arm. I found our that my dad got it every year. Thanks now I know what to do. I felt powerless.
What I found surprising was just recently finding out that MS is also caused by parasites (since childhood). Parasites are also responsible for many health issues. Hope to see a video from you on this subject. Thank you for all of your wonderful videos.
I wish we could shout it from the rooftops so that everyone would know. The doctor I heard it from said tis one root cause had been known for many years in the medical community and their literature
I rubbed Kawakawa balm onto the areas affected by shingles (face), and it soothed the skin and dulled the pain. Maori chewed Kawakawa leaves to reduce toothache. I have made tea with fresh Kawakawa leaves and found it numbed my throat at first and then my tongue. It’s an amazing plant that not many people know about. I now have two plants growing, and will grow more. If I get shingles again, I’m going to try mashing up the leaves and applying it directly.
Hi kawakawa is great but maori also used to use it as an insecticide in Kumara beds by burning it. It's one of our great medicinal plants but use with care
I've got shingles 6 years ago. I only use camphor oil on mine 4x a day and in 1-2 weeks I was healthy again and back at work. I also use camphor oil on measles and chickenpox. No pain, no marks...
Shingles can be very serious. I was one of the unfortunate ones who got it on the left-side of the face and I actually have permanent vision damage to that eye from it. It was hell. Extreme pain, burning, itching...feeling like maggots were burrowing under my skin and in my eyeball. Please get it treated well and early if you think you have it. My doctor didn't treat me well enough on my first visit which made me need to go back a few days later because I was in pure agony. She did a good job after that but I have a feeling that if it would have been taken more seriously the first time, I wouldn't have vision damage. I wish I had known some of this stuff when I got it, great video!
Oh my! I also got it on my face, head and eye area. I was sent immediately to an eye specialist the same day it was diagnosed... They jumped on it with steroid eye drops and checked my eye every 3 days for 2 weeks. It was the most painful thing I have ever experienced. So sorry you did not get the care needed.
@@stagehand113 my father at 75 got it a few months after his heart by-pass...he was promised another 15 years and died approx 15 years later at 91. He got a horrible case at 75..eye, face, forehead...his head was the size (it seemed) of a bowling ball. Toughest man i ever knew ! WW 2 vet. He sat alone at home on christmas...could not do a thing. He was left with nerve damage in face, until he died. Rarely if ever complained.
Wish we were aware of this vital data back in 2008 when our dad died from shingle complications - might have prevented three years of tremendous suffering. Thank you, so much for posting this Dr Berg.
Thank you for this video. I had shingles for months several years ago. I have searched since then to find a way to prevent them from coming back. Until now, this is the first advice I have heard. It is much appreciated. No one should have to live with those things. You were correct about the suicide because I begged the Lord to either heal me or take me home. My healing came when I found a new job with a competitor.
I got shingles and used colloidal silver gel on the lesions, and also took colloidal silver internally. Within the week the lesions were gone and there was no pain...
This video makes so much sense! I got shingles at 36 after I had a second miscarriage and became depressed. When you are depressed your immune system can be depressed too. I also worked in an office and wasn’t much of an outdoor person. At that time, about 34 years ago the recommended dose of vitamin D was 400 IU per day!!! 100 times less than you are recommending! This is also why I CANNOT UNDERSTAND why doctors do not study nutrition!!!
Thank you Dr. Berg for sharing this vital information. My friend just came down with shingles and has been on high powered medication for the last year. She was in excruciating pain. Sending on to her. Bless you and your work!
Thank you so much for this valuable information 🙏🏾 I had shingles in October to November 2021. I was bed bound for 5 weeks. I spent 2 days in severe pain although I have a high pain tolerance. My GP and I thought it was gastroenteritis the first 2 days then that weekend one “pimple” I had on my neck turned into a blister and blisters some of them as large as golf balls spread from my cheeks , into my mucous membranes, tongue, to the tips of my toes. My most severe pain was in my hands and feet. I spent hours not being able to use my hands or walk. I walked with a link after that for 2 months due to pain in my right ankle. I still have pain 1-2/10 in the joints of my fingers all the time. I have scars from my neck to my toes.I am blessed to have overcome this. I think stress also contributed.
Ok people try this, it’s what I use for shingles. Amino acid L- Lysine 5-7 grams on empty stomach in morning, mid day, and at night after dinner. Again you get way better results waiting 2-3 hours after meals. 🙏🏻
Thank you Dr. Berg. This is perfect timing. My doctor wanted to give me a shingles vaccine because "I'm at that age where it could flair up" and I said no. I'll keep this on hand, just in case. Merry Christmas! and thank,you for all you do to help people.
A doctor told my 92 year old mother to get a shingle shot, even though she had never had an outbreak, 2 months after taking the shot she had a horrible outbreak.
@@roseready5700 the same thing happened to my elderly aunt when she received the flu shot. We almost lost her that year. After that we said no more flu shots and have her all kinds of vitamins to boast her immune system and she was healthy.
Superb video! Ironically, every patient I had with shingles had recently gotten the shingles jab. 🤔 Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. Peace and blessings!
Ironically, every friend and neighbor who had the shingles vaccine (just about everyone I know over the age of 60) did NOT develop shingles. Three friends have serious immunocompromised bodies with health issues such as cancer, and still they were protected. Its effectiveness is impressive.
Egg yolks, beef liver, and pork chops are examples of natural ways in which to get vitamin K2 if you so choose to take that route vs purchasing supplements.
@@DHarri9977 You are obviously not informed about the pork its not what you think, why do think the j€ws ban it? And why pig parts are used to replace huMan parts? 🐷 cannib@|ism agenda 2I/3O, its 2022 soy|ent gr€€n is here 🤢
I got Shingles about a month after I had Covid-19. For me, having Covid was a walk in the park compared to having Shingles. I hope never to get it again! I’ll be beefing up my Vitamin D3 and K2 intake. Thanks, Dr Berg. 👍🏻
Well that explains it. I've never had shingles even though I've had chickenpox and live up in the PacNW. I was actually told by my doctor to STOP taking D3 because I had way too high levels in my system.🤣 Also, I got both Shingrix shots when I turned 50. I'm vaccine sensitive and the second one just gave me a raised sore, purple, bump on my arm for about two weeks, but it didn't effect my heavy weightlifting or how I felt in general. D3 is miraculous, but don't go overboard. I was taking up to 20,000 IU daily because everyone kept pushing it since I live so high up in latitude, around 48°. There is such a thing as too much vitamin D. You can get hypercalcemia. If you are prone to kidney stones as I am, ask your doctor before taking vitamin D ... or just eat plenty of eggs. The yolk is dosed with D.
There are forms of vitamin D with something called “K2 MK7”. The vitamin K2 helps prevent blood vessel calcification. High-absorption versions of magnesium like magnesium glycinate can also minimize calcification, which is especially important as you get older and are more prone to it.
I got shingles at 31 due to not sleeping, stress and over working myself. My 65yr old mom got it last year and the doctors didn't prescribe her an anti viral. She has permanent nerve damage now. For the past year, she hasn't been able to wear clothing on her back or go outside due to the wind and temperature causing pain.
Thanks Doc. Unfortunately, too late for me. I had shingles around the waist in 2008 (age 58) but did not seek medical advice. This was before the vaccine was advertised and one had to be 60 yrs of age. Instead I did what I always do and went to a Health food store but did not know about the vitamin D connection. Perhaps I was deficient in vitamin D because I was under an extreme stress situation lacking proper diet and sleep in trying to care for my elderly parents. Sadly, I suffered permanent nerve damage around my torso. Needless to say this severely compromised my quality of life. To ensure I never have a recurrence I will follow your advice.
I can’t thank you enough for all your BRILLIANT information! I hope you realize that you are helping thousands and thousands of people !! We admire and respect you Dr. Berg !!!!
I had shingles due to lack of sleep and stress, the stress was caused by lack of sleep. So PLEASE get as much sleep as you possibly can. Shingles is hell on earth, take care everyone, and stay healthy.
Certain things can trigger this virus and cause it to come out of remission. These things can include: • Vitamin D deficiency • Certain medications • Stress • Radiation • Sunburn • Pesticides The best natural remedies for shingles: 1. Get a topical vitamin D cream 2. Take vitamin D with magnesium 3. Use geranium oil topically Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
From what I've seen, shingles was one of the common adverse events from the shots they've been pushing at everyone for the last couple of years, one of the less harmful adverse events.
The zoster shot had 51/49 viability. The shingrix (I think that's how you spell it but don't quote me) vaccine has 91/9 + viability, so those are good odds in your favor. I HAVE to take vaccines, I was born with low immunity to viruses and bacterium. The first time I got a flu shot I got the flu. I didn't take the vaccine for five years after that, but there was a terrible epidemic going on. as strong as it was I knew I wasn't going to make it. So I took a chance on the flu shot once again and lo and behold, I don't get the flu anymore. When I would get the flu it would last for months, not days, not weeks but literally months. I was afraid to go anywhere because sick, but now I have no adverse effect and I can lead a normal life. I can go anywhere any time of year, and I make the most of my life now. A lot of you don't know what it is to be as sick as the flu used to make me. But now I have a life so I can't bad mouth vaccines. If you don't want to take it and your healthy, lucky you but some of us have to take it to survive. Stay well stay strong stay safe.
I had Shingles really bad a few years ago. I've taken Vitamin D3 for many years and my Vitamin D levels were in the normal range because my primary care physician checks it on a yearly basis. My Shingles trigger is sugar. I've had several breakouts of Shingles since then but I stop it in its tracks with Llysine (an amino acid). It works every time and saves me from a visit with the doctor to get anti-viral meds for the outbreak. I also use Llysine for cold sores. Cold sores and shingles are both a form of herpes. So, I thought if it works for cold sores, maybe it will work for Shingles. I researched it on the internet and discovered that other people were recommending it. I continue to take Vitamin D3 but not in the quantity that you recommend. I'm not convinced that 40,000 units is not harmful. I also take Magnesium.
Some of Dr Berg’s videos on D3 toxicity may interest you. In winters, I’m often using 40 000ius of his D3 formula that has zinc, magnesium, bile, ect. in order to increase absorption. I have a much better sleep and digestion thanks to this.
@@mabbas6479 I take the capsules bc the tablets are too thick and choke me- for the first day (when I feel it coming on) I take 1000mg two two three times a day Then after that for about three more days I take 500mg two to three times a day. I also use a Abreva on my lip and they do make lysine for your lips Aldo which I use:)
I had a shingles outbreak a few years ago and I'm fairly sure it was due to the incredibly bad air quality caused by wildfires in our area. That was some of the worst pain I've ever experienced - and I once had a skin graft! I found that CBD cream applied to the area really took the edge off the pain and helped the nerves heal. I didn't know about Vitamin D cream. I will check that out!
I've never had shingles, but a friend who has them from time to time recommended Listerine topically. I told another friend and after using it, she was totally thrilled. Hope this helps someone.
I had a mild rash on my back 2 1/2 years ago, and when I happened to be in my doctor's office for a routine check I decided at the last minute to show it to her. She told me that it looked like shingles. I never had any shingles shots, either, and this caught me by surprise. But I was already taking more Vitamin D3 due to working on other issues I had while following Dr Berg's recommendations. Bottom line is I never even had to take a painkiller for the rash because the symptoms were so mild.
Dr. Berg, your explanation is superb. I have recently recovered from this painful disease. I will try not to let it come back. Thanks for this invaluable information.
unbelievable, every single thing just points at it: 1) had a stressful return from holidays as there was a problem with the boarding pass and almost lose the flight for myself and the whole family (overseas trip). 2) when I returned to work there was just a pile of paperwork waiting for me. 3) Then to relax the next week I went playing volleyball and I had a bad landing and dislocated my right shoulder. 4) because it was beach volley I was shirtless and forgot the sunscreen.... sunburn 5) x-ray and ultrasound to evaluate the extension of the damage in the shoulder (it wasn't that band but after a month still bothers me) All of that has happened in the last month... and I just got diagnosed with shingles around the right side of my torso. right on the nail.
Dr. Berg is such a wealth of the most significant health related information. He’s really a gift to all of us that have access to his info on RUclips. I love this guy. My degree is in exercise physiology and I’ve spent 30yrs of my life to health and fitness; Dr Berg is the real deal and greatly appreciate his videos beyond what I could research on my own during my free time.
I appreciate you doing this video! I had a substantial rash on my face last week and while I am not sure if it is Shingles or not, I am definitely of the age that it could be. I watched your video last week and after greatly increasing my Vitamin D consumption, the rash began to diminish and is almost gone. While I have not tried the Vitamin D Cream yet, a bottle of Geranium Oil arrived today from Amazon and applying some of that to the affected area also helped soothe it.
I had shingles almost exactly a year ago. I admit that my immune system probably wasn’t as strong as normal due to being very stressed out over something in my life, and I wasn’t eating right. Luckily the rash area wasn’t super big, but boy was it painful! I also got a side effect which was a pseudo hernia. Very weird. I think I still have to a lesser extent but haven’t gotten it checked out. I’m a little scared that it be something serious, but I hate going to the doctor and don’t trust most of them. If Dr. Berg sees my comment, I would love to hear him speak on pseudo hernias and other long term side effects that people have mentioned here from shingles and what to do about it.
WOW! Big help! I recall my Dad having shingles many years ago and he was soooo miserable the medicos put him on an anti depressant!! If only we had known then about Vitamin D and Geranium. Your advice is golden, so thank you very much, Dr. Berg
I've been suffering with shingles since August, and it is by far the worst thing I've ever experienced. I developed radiation sickness from my cancer treatment and was given prednisone, which I think saved my life, but wow. I'm not sure it was worth it. I'm a bit upset with my oncologists for not making this link. I am mostly pain free today. I'm still having some stinging and numbness, which I can live with but I totally understand why someone would take their own life because sadly I considered it myself.
Had Shingles once, on my both my shins, while having MRSA on my right knee. Didn't know about the benefits of Manuka honey until after I saw a doc after a week of putting up with both. Then I learned about Manuka, took care of both in 3 days, and started learning about better supplementation.
@@prudenceseales735 , I am answering what I did for IMPETIGO two weeks ago. Also works for herpes and shingles....... Impetigo 1) Wash your hands thoroughly. 2) Use a clean warm water wash cloth to remove crusts. [ I use either black tea or chamomile tea to clean area] The staph or strep bacteria live under the crusts so you must remove them. I throw washrag directly into washing machine. 3) wash hands again thoroughly 4)use a clean spoon to put some MANUKA Honey in a clean bowl. Be careful to set jar aside to not contaminate it. 5)Apply MANUKA Honey to face or rash over the blisters or sores. Cover the entire area. Set bowl aside for next application later that day. 6) Let Honey set on FACE or rash do not wash off. 7) The Honey will kill the bacteria 8) remove crusts and reapply 4 times a day. You do not need to wash off the honey. I took 1,000 mg L-Lysine every hour because I was not sure if it was a herpes simplex cold sore, shingles or impetigo at first. L-lysine stops viral replication. My face rash was around my upper lip under my nose and cheeks covering a palm sized area. It was impetigo. It went completely away in 4 days using only MANUKA honey. If you don't have MANUKA honey use the honey you have as long as it is Real honey and not just fake liquid sugar. I also prayed and asked God to Heal me in Jesus Name. I wish you Clarity and Peace and Joy on your Healing Journey. Hold the Lantern and Light The Way. I am sending Love and Hugs from Washington State, USA, Jeanne of In Loving Hands Counseling
At 16 I had shingles on the top right side of my face and head, it had swelled my eye shut for about a week. Worst pain I’ve ever had to experience. Then the very next year I was in a car accident and busted the top left side of my face and swelled that eye shut lol, horrible. Thank u Dr Burg with all the info u share with us
That’s good info. I have had Shingles , first time strong and second time mild. I have to say though , Meniere’s disease was much much worse. 1.5 years of attacks, spinning out of control, nerve the side of the head every bit as sensitive as Shingles, vomiting many hours and passing out only to wake up to vomit more. 60% of that 1.5 years laying down. Tinnitus so load at times it was like someone yelling in my ear. The noise now never goes away 17 years. And all this while you begin to go deaf. Shingles is only a month maybe. I have heard conflicting doctor statements about if you have had Shingles it is done and you don’t need immunization shot against it. I don’t know now for sure.
Thank you for this! My mom wants me to get the vaccine, but ever since what my first (and last) flu shot did to me, I'm terrified of vaccines. I'd much rather try to prevent it naturally!
The incidence of Shingles has been increasing and linked to the introduction of mRNA and DNA based Gene Therapies used during the Pandemic to combat SARS-CoV-2 infections.
My aunt, a GP, developed shingles for the first time in her life at the age of 60 straight after her most recent covid vaxx and says the jab is what caused it.
@@truenokill just study your environment I'm an active member of Na most people in there have herpes due to their Reckless lifestyle after everybody that I personally know got the vaccine which I didn't their herpes has come out full-blown like they're on steroids Valtrex which is a very popular drug to suppress herpes symptoms basically is barely working
Good video again, Team Berg. Same old graphics we've seen for years now, but I learned so much and I will make sure to do my part and spread the word, share the video, and suggest Vitamin D for those in my circle who get Shingles. I had it once in my 30's. Physical injury compounded with high stress and low sleep. If I knew then what I know now. Merry Christmas to you all. I hope your holidays are filled with the love and laughter of friends and family. Love to you all. Peace.
After my parents divorced, and my Dad left I got shingles, at age 11. Dr. gave me a salve, worked great and cleared it up on my back. Dr. said stressful events can cause Shingles. Good to hear Vit D also helps. Thx Dr. Berg.

I’m taking once a day sometimes twice with your Vitamin D3 and K2. I hope not to get shingles issue in my body. Thanks a lot for this information. Blessings to you DrBerg.🙌🙌🙌
I had shingles right after Thanksgiving last year. The pain was absolutely horrible. I wish I had seen this video for the recommendation of the vitamin D cream. Hope it never comes back!
Whole milk is amazing at soothing the itch. I had blisters under eye lids whole milk rinses every couple hours was only help. I also used 1-2 cups in a bath. No soaps or anything else. It truly is amazing!!! It also resolved a life time of hives issues and 20 years of extreme dry eye.
Oh my gosh. He is correct. I had four epsodes of shingles and when my primary doctor prescribed vitamin D, it never returned. Ten years later, I now have multple myleoma and while managed, I am VERY afraid of body weakening and getting shingles once again. Now, I will follow his additional advice. Thsnk youuuuuu
About a year ago, I got shingles and I have had issues with low Vit D in the past. I was lucky - it was very minor for me - nothing more than an inconvenience - very low pain. Hope it never comes back. Merry Christmas Dr Berg. Love the channel.
I had shingles twice. The last one, doctor prescribed me with 70 antibiotic capsules. I still remember the pain and the difficulties in finishing the capsules. Now i wont be haunted by shingles anymore.

I had shingles and it's one of the worst viruses anyone can get.! I was under so much stress and even though I lived in Trinidad at the time where the climate is hot! Stress broke down my immune system! Dr. Berg knows what he is talking about because standing in the SUN every day was the only thing that really helped me to get better!!! In addition my white blood cells was lin fact ow! This is good advice everyone!!!! Thanks Dr. Berg
I am a 56 yr old cancer survivor with weakened immune system. 4 weeks since I had shingles. The rash is gone, but I am having waves of post herpetic neuralgia - the nerve pain is so bad I am screaming. Now we try pregabalin, Thanks for the tips on geranium oil and Vitamin D. I will try anything.
I understand how you feel believe me, I have been through this same pain before and finding the best cure for Herpes, Shingles (HSV1&2 ) contact Dr.Ani John via RUclips channel he saved my life from this same virus I will always recommend him because he is the best herbal doctor in the world

Great information Dr Berg! Can you please make a video that discusses which DNA tests are best (and most afordable) for uncovering genetic and food alergy issues(?) Ty!!
Genetic tests are normally done by a geneticist if you have any conditions that run in the family such as cancers or other serious conditions. Easy Dna has intolerance tests for allergies but this is in the UK, it costs around £79
Thank you I was not worried about shingles and you reinforce that. I get all of the minerals and vitamins recommended in liquid format daily and it has changed my life.
I've had shingles three times, just in the last 2 years, and they were usually related to stress. It was so mild, however, that I believe that I must have had the mildest cases of shingles in the world. It affected a very small area each time and the amount of pain was almost non-existent. The first time was the worst, and it was barely noticeable. I try to stick to a low carb diet and take cod liver oil every day. I'm 64.
Cod liver oil is rich in natural Vitamin D, besides Vits A, E, K, which are all good for skin health and immunity. But you'd have to take large quantities of it when the shingles comes on. Your daily consumption of CLO was probably what helped with the mildness of the pain. Low carb or Keto diets are also helpful in building good health.
@@mysticaltyger2009 actually I still have residual! I literally got it Dec.1!! I got it on my right side of my head,ear,neck,shoulder! The worst pain ever in my life!! ( and I’ve been thru some pain) the first 2-3 weeks were touch and go! I was ready to die! It definitely broke my spirit! It will humble you! A lot of praying 🙏🏼!! I still have a problem raising my arm straight up? ( I’m not complaining lord, thank you for this day)… It’s a crazy virus! I’ve talked to some people who didn’t experience what I did and skated right thru it! (I hate them people😂 kidding) and some that had issues for a year!! Hope and pray you never get it! Thank you for asking, have a fantastic day!✌🏼
Ask your dr for the shingles vaccine if you’re 65+. Be your own advocate. My mom’s dr never informed her about it ahead of time. She eventually got a nasty case that lasted months along her forehead & scalp (travels vertically), continues to experience random bouts of neuralgia on her head many years after. Signs/symptoms vary per person. I suspected shingles when I saw a red pimple looking dot between her eyebrows as she was complaining about a headache that felt like extreme electrical shocks. ER dr had no clue, sent her to get CT Scans 2x on separate visits. Family dr eventually diagnosed her. Never knew about Vitamin D-I will be sure to tell her to take it daily. Thanks, I appreciate you doc.
I had shingles due to a post kidney transplant immunospressed state. I would drink colloidal silver and the symptoms were usually gone the same day. Usually 12 hours or less
@@DivaDen i drank 2/3 of a shot glass full twice a day. It was about 13 ppm colloidal silver that i hade made myself. Never had to do it more than a few days.
I got shingles October 2021. Worst pain ever. I already knew my D levels were not optimal. I took 50k iu of D daily, I also took K2 and Mag Threonate with the D, I took NAC and Lysine as well. I used cannabis for the pain, it was excruciating. Wish I knew about the geranium oil. Nothing I used topically really helped much. OH, correction, I did use Manuka oil topically and it helped a little. Thankfully it only lasted about 3 weeks and no lasting problems.
I got shingles at 24 years old. Was one of the most stressful times of my life and told it was due to stress by the Doctor. Have had a lot of loss in my life and had many other issues going on at the time. I’m sorry to anyone who gets shingles because it truly does suck.
I have a similar story. Got it when I was 25 - during the most stressful time of my life (at the time). I'd never even heard of shingles at the time.
20yo here and yeah quite stressed, but now (8years later) I am way more sick from other things sadly
I had shingles when I was twenty, very painful. Stayed at hospital for a week.
@@aidongzhang6028 wow, I was send home with ibuprofen
I had shingles when I was 22 years old. I had it again at age 64. I’m very healthy, but both times were painful. I’ve been taking vitamin D since then.
Wow..... My family has a tendency to get shingles. When my physician found that out 21 years ago she put me on a high vitamin D supplement. I'm now in my 70s, still taking vitamin D daily. Never have been attacked by shingles. My physician must have been aware of this. Thank you doctor!!
You are so fortunate. Our house doctor diagnosed me incorrectly, told my mom to give me pain meds and sent me home. I'm still suffering with every day dull pains in my leg and left foot. Had flareups until last year! Had about three treatments and nothing worked. Due to metabolic syndrome I've been on vit D (50,000IU) for the last three years along with Dostinex for a microadenoma on my pituitary gland along with Neurobion and being on these seems to keep the devil at ease. Shingles is a life long struggle and what makes it worse is people think I'm making it up when I say I'm in pain. My mother unfortunately got it in her face about a year ago 😰
Since you take a high dose of vitamin D3, make sure to take vitamin K2 with it.@@vikkigeldenhuys7175
I already take vit d in quantities that shock my Dr.
Everyday vitamin D tablets or sun exposer?
@@SharminSultana-ln2bk; tablets NOT the sun.
At 46, I had shingles. At first there was no rash, and my doctor thought I was nuts due to the amount of pain and crying I was doing.
HERE’S WHAT HELPED:
An epidural above the rash done by an anesthesiologist/pain doctor.
I mean, immediate relief. As a burn survivor, 3rd degree: 52 percent with more than 30 operations in my lifetime; I have a high tolerance for pain. The shingles pain was up there with the skin grafts failing.
Just wanted to share what worked for me.
I'm sorry for that kind of pain you endured!!❤
I had it when I was 19😭 thank God my boyfriend's dad at the time knew what it was and rushed me to the hospital and the doctor knew to give me Valtrax which literally took the pain away and cleared it up, I am 40 now and haven't had it again🙏
@@shanarstra2129 σστα ελληνικα δε γινεται;
I just got it a few months ago. Strong vitamin b, d, c, a and l-glutamine and l-glycine fixed it after about a week.
I hope your’re feeling better
I had shingles, the prescription was about $200 and the doctor said it can still spread and take over 6 months to heal. Instead, I took 2 teaspoons morning and night of black cumin seed oil, various immune boosting vitamins like astaxanthan, vit c. I rubbed black cumin seed oil topically as well as arnica gel. It was gone in 2 weeks. No black scabbing, no stinging or burning. Gone.
That's good to know, thanks for sharing
All the things I have learned from our home remedies is great! It doesn’t cost as much as a dr visit either! Prevention is the basic key but when you have an ailment, it is good to know all you can to have what you can to remedy the situation! God blesses all!
$200 what mine was $15 an without insurance it would been $25 & I’m in California I’m just clearing now the blisters turned to scab an now started to come off
Did you take the covid shots... shingles blew up after the quackcines💉🐑☠
@@DannyBoyGhost How long did it all last from first appearance of rash
A tireless man trying to help people.
He is an awesome person. We need more like him. It’s scary out there. I just don’t trust Doctors. I trust this man
It’s scary and disturbing that in an emergency we have to rely on conventional doctors at the hospital.
>>I just don’t trust Doctors
Me too!!
The thing is, the conventional doctors (allopathic MD's) don't OWN the hospitals, those are paid for by tax payers who should have a choice, somebody like Doctor Berg would be most welcome at Patch Adams Guesigntight institute where a wide variety of physicians are recognized, not just MD's alone.
This man needs to teach all doctors ❤❤❤❤❤
When I had shingles, I used cayenne pepper (mixed with enough water to make a paste) on the rash. When the rash was gone, I used geranium oil for the nerve tingles. The outbreak lasted only about one week.
That was all I used. I get lots of home remedies off of the Earthclinc website, which is where I learned about the cayenne and geranium. I will always try home remedies and homeopathy first, however, sometimes I do go to the doctor/hospital as a last resort.
Didn't the cayenne burn?
It's really not too bad. It burns a little at first but it cancels out the shingles burn.
Thank you very much.
@@Twilightsummerbreeze only if wound is open or on mucous membrains
Shingles put me in the hospital, it was Hades on Earth and I will never forget it, but like childbirth it's that type of situation, so thank you Doc for all that you're doing for all of us!
what happened?
Please check out Ozone Autohemotherapy. It was the only thing that got rid of the debillitaing pain
shingles caused me meningitis
This makes so much sense. I had a very bad shingles breakout three years ago and it lasted for almost a year maybe longer. I was in so much pain. My doctor didn't really have much solutions but he put me on vitamin D just because, he was very concerned how low I was in Vitamin D. A very short time after taking 10000 units twice per day, my shingles went away and has not returned. I'm down to 2000 units per day in Vitamin D now, this all makes perfect sense.
Great data! Thank you so much for sharing ❤❤❤
Add vitamin K!!!
So is that 20000 units per day, or 5000 twice a day?
My doctor wanted to give opiates for the pain 🥴 I declined right away cause I know those things can become addictive after not taking them lol no sir I’ll live happily with pain then be an addicted an ruin myself
@@DannyBoyGhostRight! I agree. ❤
Just got through a severe episode of shingles. Yes used a blend of essential oils to help manage pain. Took Vitamin D by mouth but didn't know about Vitamin D cream. Will order some ASAP. Have depressed immune system from chemotherapy and then a traumatic fall that fractured my hand and front teeth. You are just a wealth of information thanks Doc.
Some of his videos on the immune system, on injuries/ trauma and on teeth strength may help you ❤
wow that's a lot. Vitamin K2 can help heal bone fractures is my understanding. I take a high dose as I'm trying to restore my teeth, I take 5 mgs a day. It can cause nausea. There are K2 drops by Thorne where each drop is 1 mg so you can start slowly if interested.
My goodness, that's alot to go through!😧 Sending you some love and positivity!✌❤🙏❤✌
Good luck, and good health to you 😊
Who Else loves " Dr Berg " ?

Yes fan Eric Berg the best 🥰🇷🇺
Dr. Berg is MINE (in my dreams) 🥺
Love him to distraction.
I do !
I had shingles in 2018 and it was horrific. I was battling Lyme disease at the time too so it was even more painful. I had been bitten years before and was never diagnosed properly, so my symptoms were progressing til I couldn't walk. I can totally relate to some people wanting commit suicide. The pain was so intense, I barely slept and couldn't function for weeks on top of being down already. Thanks for the video.
Poor you - that’s sounds really horrible - so glad you made it through those times. God bless you
Wow thank God you pulled through and are still her 🙏
*here
I have lyme since 2015...shingles 2016..cov 2021...now constant shingles like pain in area i had it in. Years of crippling pain. Loosing mobility. Can you share What treatments have helped you? Tyia
What about L-lysine?
Vitamin D is what we all need. I take 5000 units a day everday for the last 15 years along wih zinc, selenium, vitamin k2, C, melatonin and garlic supplement. Haven't had even a Cold in 15 years.
Hi Phil, I am on a very similar regime to that of yours & have been for 6 years now. We are so lucky to have this information.
Great information
What garlic supplements do you take?
Am healthy, exercise regularly, eat healthy. Take vitD 10,000UI daily for 2+years, QUERCETIN, K2, cod liver oil, Mg, Got it this summer due to stress. Debating getting shingles shot (vaccine?.) … should I get it? Thanks.
@@chantalsmalley400 I'm not a Dr. yet I wouldn't get it. This is only my opinion. I've had Shingles twice. It is a personal choice.
I'm 61 and my wife is 59, we we're both getting sick quite a bit with colds and flu prior to 2020 and then the virus hit and we all started taking everything we could to increase our immune systems which fortunately included vitamin D, we started taking 6000 IU everyday right about March of 2020 and as God is my witness neither of us has had so much as a sniffle since then with 1 exception, about April of 2021 we both caught C19 but it was so mild for both of us we were over in an a few days and we didn't experience any of the bad things we were hearing others say like the loss of smell or the coughing or any of that, we both had a high temp for 1 day each and that was it, we tested positive but didn't experience any symptoms other than a high temp for a day and then irregular temps for a few days after but that was it. I fully believe it was the fact we had a full year of building our immune systems with Vitamin D, Vitamin C and Zinc that kept us from getting that sick from C19. We still take the same amount everyday and will continue to do so for the rest of the time the good Lord sees fit to bless us with.
If you take a lot of vitamin D please take vitamin K2 as well as high dose vitamin D is associated with the calcification of arteries and K2 prevents this. Best to get a blood test done to check out your vitamin D levels and perhaps cut down on it during the summer.
Same here
i heard that loss of smell+ taste was due to loss of zinc due to covid 19 . the body uses it up with that virus. not sure but i did read this.
@@barbaraslaska1574 ..very sound advice..re K2..and should it be vit D3?
Don’t forget copper deficiency can happen if you take too much zinc too.
Just had my first attack of shingles. Treated it with internal oil of oregano in capsules, and turmeric juicing. Worked like a charm thank goodness
How do I make turmeric juice please
How long did it take to clear up?
I’m 35 and have had shingles more than 5 times. Thank you!.
Oh gosh Lals,, my ❤ to you!!! Get on the vit D!!!!!🙏🇺🇸
@@patriciapiper6294 I haven’t had it in years due to taking vitamins including a high vitamin d. Didn’t realize why till this video it was that!. Thank you.
I have had shingles 3 times…2nd one gave me nerve damage.😑
Take oil of oregano internally and you'll never have it again. Kills all herpes viruses. I used to be plagued with cold sores then they stopped. Also the supplement lysine. Look these up and you will see them in medical studies killing chicken pox, shingles, herpes, coldsores
Try L - Lyseine .an amino acid that is prescribed for cold sores...it boosts collagen as well...can be found in the vitamin section of any drugstore...cheap...and it suppressed my second outbreak of shingles in only a few days!
I’m was 38 when I got shingles. It hurt so bad. I could barely see the rash. But Felt it all on my back and through my right arm. I found our that my dad got it every year. Thanks now I know what to do. I felt powerless.
What I found surprising was just recently finding out that MS is also caused by parasites (since childhood). Parasites are also responsible for many health issues. Hope to see a video from you on this subject. Thank you for all of your wonderful videos.
🤯😱😳
Any decent evidence for that?
Both my first cousins were diagnosed with MS. But both also had a glandular fever, which researchers think is tied to the disorder.
I just got diagnosed with MS last year. I'm doing a parasite cleanse currently because I've also heard about the link.
I wish we could shout it from the rooftops so that everyone would know. The doctor I heard it from said tis one root cause had been known for many years in the medical community and their literature
I rubbed Kawakawa balm onto the areas affected by shingles (face), and it soothed the skin and dulled the pain. Maori chewed Kawakawa leaves to reduce toothache. I have made tea with fresh Kawakawa leaves and found it numbed my throat at first and then my tongue. It’s an amazing plant that not many people know about. I now have two plants growing, and will grow more. If I get shingles again, I’m going to try mashing up the leaves and applying it directly.
Hi kawakawa is great but maori also used to use it as an insecticide in Kumara beds by burning it. It's one of our great medicinal plants but use with care
I've got shingles 6 years ago. I only use camphor oil on mine 4x a day and in 1-2 weeks I was healthy again and back at work. I also use camphor oil on measles and chickenpox. No pain, no marks...
That's old school. Lol my mom would lather us down with whatever breakouts we had. Worked wonderfully. Rip Mama!❤️
Shingles can be very serious. I was one of the unfortunate ones who got it on the left-side of the face and I actually have permanent vision damage to that eye from it. It was hell. Extreme pain, burning, itching...feeling like maggots were burrowing under my skin and in my eyeball. Please get it treated well and early if you think you have it. My doctor didn't treat me well enough on my first visit which made me need to go back a few days later because I was in pure agony. She did a good job after that but I have a feeling that if it would have been taken more seriously the first time, I wouldn't have vision damage. I wish I had known some of this stuff when I got it, great video!
Oh my! I also got it on my face, head and eye area. I was sent immediately to an eye specialist the same day it was diagnosed... They jumped on it with steroid eye drops and checked my eye every 3 days for 2 weeks. It was the most painful thing I have ever experienced. So sorry you did not get the care needed.
My aunt had it in the same area, and it was brutal. She really suffered.
@@karenpiraneo5426yes 4 me too. But e en after a year nerve tinglingthere

Sorry to hear that.😢 it's so painful to see how your parents suffer and not being able to do much. 😢

Shingles? I'm doubtful
I can see why you have 9+ million subscribers, its from the great videos you post!
Me! He's the only on line doctor I can watch for more than five minutes, without nodding off!
Thank you for this video. I had shingles for months several years ago. I have searched since then to find a way to prevent them from coming back. Until now, this is the first advice I have heard. It is much appreciated. No one should have to live with those things. You were correct about the suicide because I begged the Lord to either heal me or take me home. My healing came when I found a new job with a competitor.
I got shingles and used colloidal silver gel on the lesions, and also took colloidal silver internally. Within the week the lesions were gone and there was no pain...
Thanks for being so thorough. ❤
This video makes so much sense! I got shingles at 36 after I had a second miscarriage and became depressed. When you are depressed your immune system can be depressed too. I also worked in an office and wasn’t much of an outdoor person. At that time, about 34 years ago the recommended dose of vitamin D was 400 IU per day!!! 100 times less than you are recommending! This is also why I CANNOT UNDERSTAND why doctors do not study nutrition!!!
It's done on purpose. If they knew more, they could keep us well. And that's not the plan...
@@pipfox7834 I do not believe that. Not everything in this world is a conspiracy!
The reason is simply arrogance and ignorance.
I got single on 2013 , even its mark already disappear I still experience pain every day until now. Thank you for the knowledge Doctor.
Thank you! I had shingles SO badly...it was excruciating. It's great to know these things should help if it ever happens again.
Thank you Dr. Berg for sharing this vital information. My friend just came down with shingles and has been on high powered medication for the last year. She was in excruciating pain. Sending on to her. Bless you and your work!
Dr Berg also made earlier videos on shingles that may help as well ❤
It's wonderful news that D3 will help prevent shingles.
Thank you so much for this valuable information 🙏🏾 I had shingles in October to November 2021. I was bed bound for 5 weeks. I spent 2 days in severe pain although I have a high pain tolerance. My GP and I thought it was gastroenteritis the first 2 days then that weekend one “pimple” I had on my neck turned into a blister and blisters some of them as large as golf balls spread from my cheeks , into my mucous membranes, tongue, to the tips of my toes. My most severe pain was in my hands and feet. I spent hours not being able to use my hands or walk. I walked with a link after that for 2 months due to pain in my right ankle. I still have pain 1-2/10 in the joints of my fingers all the time. I have scars from my neck to my toes.I am blessed to have overcome this. I think stress also contributed.
Just wondering how anyone reading about these types of severe cases wouldn't want to get the vaccine (not you personally of course, just in general).
@@amma2x310 I agree I am in Ireland and I am looking for a GP who can provide the vaccine for me.
@@amma2x310, just wondering - are you sure it‘ll be not MRnA vaccine? After C- vaccine I don‘t trust B- pharma any more.

Ok people try this, it’s what I use for shingles. Amino acid L- Lysine 5-7 grams on empty stomach in morning, mid day, and at night after dinner. Again you get way better results waiting 2-3 hours after meals. 🙏🏻
This works as well against herpes. Together with cat’s claw.
With the amount of people this man has helped, this man is a treasure!! ❤
Thank you Dr. Berg. This is perfect timing. My doctor wanted to give me a shingles vaccine because "I'm at that age where it could flair up" and I said no. I'll keep this on hand, just in case. Merry Christmas! and thank,you for all you do to help people.
Stay away from drugs, the new mRNA one damages the immune system, causing shingles
No drugs! Look for a good acupuncturist instead.
My doctor said the same thing and I walked out of his office. I never had chicken pox as a child, so I won’t be getting shingles.
A doctor told my 92 year old mother to get a shingle shot, even though she had never had an outbreak, 2 months after taking the shot she had a horrible outbreak.
@@roseready5700 the same thing happened to my elderly aunt when she received the flu shot. We almost lost her that year. After that we said no more flu shots and have her all kinds of vitamins to boast her immune system and she was healthy.
Superb video!
Ironically, every patient I had with shingles had recently gotten the shingles jab. 🤔
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Peace and blessings!
Ironically, every friend and neighbor who had the shingles vaccine (just about everyone I know over the age of 60) did NOT develop shingles. Three friends have serious immunocompromised bodies with health issues such as cancer, and still they were protected. Its effectiveness is impressive.
Best Doctor on the planet. Love this Doctor.
Appreciate your kind words!
Great video, Dr Berg! A reminder to always take K2 with vitamin D3 so the calcium goes to the bones and doesn't settle in the soft tissues.
Egg yolks, beef liver, and pork chops are examples of natural ways in which to get vitamin K2 if you so choose to take that route vs purchasing supplements.
How right you are !
Better research the vitamin K before promoting it
@@DHarri9977 You are obviously not informed about the pork its not what you think, why do think the j€ws ban it? And why pig parts are used to replace huMan parts? 🐷 cannib@|ism agenda 2I/3O, its 2022 soy|ent gr€€n is here 🤢
how much k2 do we need to avoid the calcium problem?
I got Shingles about a month after I had Covid-19. For me, having Covid was a walk in the park compared to having Shingles. I hope never to get it again! I’ll be beefing up my Vitamin D3 and K2 intake. Thanks, Dr Berg. 👍🏻
Which one of the covid vaccines did you end up getting?
And..thanks to many commenter here who have spoken of D3 & K2..because I can't recall Doc Berg saying either..only D. ??
@@jcdines8864 ..she meant actual covid..not the covid injections.
@@yvonnerahui8729 he talks about D and k2 always. That's how I knew about k2
I had a similar situation occur. I got COVID and shingles at the same time. Although, my shingles episode was minor.
Well that explains it. I've never had shingles even though I've had chickenpox and live up in the PacNW. I was actually told by my doctor to STOP taking D3 because I had way too high levels in my system.🤣 Also, I got both Shingrix shots when I turned 50. I'm vaccine sensitive and the second one just gave me a raised sore, purple, bump on my arm for about two weeks, but it didn't effect my heavy weightlifting or how I felt in general. D3 is miraculous, but don't go overboard. I was taking up to 20,000 IU daily because everyone kept pushing it since I live so high up in latitude, around 48°. There is such a thing as too much vitamin D. You can get hypercalcemia. If you are prone to kidney stones as I am, ask your doctor before taking vitamin D ... or just eat plenty of eggs. The yolk is dosed with D.
There are forms of vitamin D with something called “K2 MK7”. The vitamin K2 helps prevent blood vessel calcification. High-absorption versions of magnesium like magnesium glycinate can also minimize calcification, which is especially important as you get older and are more prone to it.
I hope you know to stay away from any vaccine going forward
I got shingles at 31 due to not sleeping, stress and over working myself. My 65yr old mom got it last year and the doctors didn't prescribe her an anti viral. She has permanent nerve damage now. For the past year, she hasn't been able to wear clothing on her back or go outside due to the wind and temperature causing pain.
that must be very hard on your family, I hope this video really helps you out, stay strong! knowledge is power.
Shingles seems a common side-effect from the jabs since it triggers the suppression of the immune-system.
Thanks Doc. Unfortunately, too late for me. I had shingles around the waist in 2008 (age 58) but did not seek medical advice. This was before the vaccine was advertised and one had to be 60 yrs of age. Instead I did what I always do and went to a Health food store but did not know about the vitamin D connection. Perhaps I was deficient in vitamin D because I was under an extreme stress situation lacking proper diet and sleep in trying to care for my elderly parents. Sadly, I suffered permanent nerve damage around my torso. Needless to say this severely compromised my quality of life. To ensure I never have a recurrence I will follow your advice.
My mother has thr same thing she suffers with pain everyday I am wondering if dr berg has any ideas for how to help someone with the nerve damage
😟 that's so sad!
I can’t thank you enough for all your BRILLIANT information!
I hope you realize that you are helping thousands and thousands of people !! We admire and respect you Dr. Berg !!!!
I had shingles due to lack of sleep and stress, the stress was caused by lack of sleep.
So PLEASE get as much sleep as you possibly can.
Shingles is hell on earth, take care everyone, and stay healthy.
Certain things can trigger this virus and cause it to come out of remission. These things can include:
• Vitamin D deficiency
• Certain medications
• Stress
• Radiation
• Sunburn
• Pesticides
The best natural remedies for shingles:
1. Get a topical vitamin D cream
2. Take vitamin D with magnesium
3. Use geranium oil topically
Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
From what I've seen, shingles was one of the common adverse events from the shots they've been pushing at everyone for the last couple of years, one of the less harmful adverse events.
Yup, my sister got it after the shot.
Shingles is very painful and long lasting.
Mom in her 80s and my sister in her 50s got both the double j a b of c v (mom for sure had the fl u) sh ord and caught the shingles
The zoster shot had 51/49 viability. The shingrix (I think that's how you spell it but don't quote me) vaccine has 91/9 + viability, so those are good odds in your favor. I HAVE to take vaccines, I was born with low immunity to viruses and bacterium. The first time I got a flu shot I got the flu. I didn't take the vaccine for five years after that, but there was a terrible epidemic going on. as strong as it was I knew I wasn't going to make it. So I took a chance on the flu shot once again and lo and behold, I don't get the flu anymore. When I would get the flu it would last for months, not days, not weeks but literally months. I was afraid to go anywhere because sick, but now I have no adverse effect and I can lead a normal life. I can go anywhere any time of year, and I make the most of my life now. A lot of you don't know what it is to be as sick as the flu used to make me. But now I have a life so I can't bad mouth vaccines. If you don't want to take it and your healthy, lucky you but some of us have to take it to survive.
Stay well stay strong stay safe.
What's the difference between D and D3?
I had Shingles really bad a few years ago. I've taken Vitamin D3 for many years and my Vitamin D levels were in the normal range because my primary care physician checks it on a yearly basis. My Shingles trigger is sugar. I've had several breakouts of Shingles since then but I stop it in its tracks with Llysine (an amino acid). It works every time and saves me from a visit with the doctor to get anti-viral meds for the outbreak. I also use Llysine for cold sores. Cold sores and shingles are both a form of herpes. So, I thought if it works for cold sores, maybe it will work for Shingles. I researched it on the internet and discovered that other people were recommending it. I continue to take Vitamin D3 but not in the quantity that you recommend. I'm not convinced that 40,000 units is not harmful. I also take Magnesium.
Some of Dr Berg’s videos on D3 toxicity may interest you. In winters, I’m often using 40 000ius of his D3 formula that has zinc, magnesium, bile, ect. in order to increase absorption. I have a much better sleep and digestion thanks to this.
Additionally to doing healthy keto and intermittent fasting, which provide most of my improvements.
Lysine is the best helps my cold sores
How much lysine do you take for cold sores. Any particular form of lysine?
@@mabbas6479 I take the capsules bc the tablets are too thick and choke me- for the first day (when I feel it coming on) I take 1000mg two two three times a day
Then after that for about three more days I take 500mg two to three times a day. I also use a Abreva on my lip and they do make lysine for your lips Aldo which I use:)
I had a shingles outbreak a few years ago and I'm fairly sure it was due to the incredibly bad air quality caused by wildfires in our area. That was some of the worst pain I've ever experienced - and I once had a skin graft! I found that CBD cream applied to the area really took the edge off the pain and helped the nerves heal. I didn't know about Vitamin D cream. I will check that out!
As always, many thanks Dr. Berg for educating us about such things
You're most welcome
I've never had shingles, but a friend who has them from time to time recommended Listerine topically. I told another friend and after using it, she was totally thrilled. Hope this helps someone.
I had a mild rash on my back 2 1/2 years ago, and when I happened to be in my doctor's office for a routine check I decided at the last minute to show it to her. She told me that it looked like shingles. I never had any shingles shots, either, and this caught me by surprise. But I was already taking more Vitamin D3 due to working on other issues I had while following Dr Berg's recommendations. Bottom line is I never even had to take a painkiller for the rash because the symptoms were so mild.
Thanks for this video. I first got shingles in my mid twenties and it was so painful never want to experience it again.
Microdosing with psilocybin has been reported to cure shingles. Worth a try perhaps, if it ever comes back.
Dr. Berg, your explanation is superb. I have recently recovered from this painful disease. I will try not to let it come back. Thanks for this invaluable information.
unbelievable, every single thing just points at it:
1) had a stressful return from holidays as there was a problem with the boarding pass and almost lose the flight for myself and the whole family (overseas trip).
2) when I returned to work there was just a pile of paperwork waiting for me.
3) Then to relax the next week I went playing volleyball and I had a bad landing and dislocated my right shoulder.
4) because it was beach volley I was shirtless and forgot the sunscreen.... sunburn
5) x-ray and ultrasound to evaluate the extension of the damage in the shoulder (it wasn't that band but after a month still bothers me)
All of that has happened in the last month... and I just got diagnosed with shingles around the right side of my torso.
right on the nail.
Dr. Berg is such a wealth of the most significant health related information. He’s really a gift to all of us that have access to his info on RUclips. I love this guy. My degree is in exercise physiology and I’ve spent 30yrs of my life to health and fitness; Dr Berg is the real deal and greatly appreciate his videos beyond what I could research on my own during my free time.
I appreciate you doing this video! I had a substantial rash on my face last week and while I am not sure if it is Shingles or not, I am definitely of the age that it could be. I watched your video last week and after greatly increasing my Vitamin D consumption, the rash began to diminish and is almost gone. While I have not tried the Vitamin D Cream yet, a bottle of Geranium Oil arrived today from Amazon and applying some of that to the affected area also helped soothe it.
I had shingles almost exactly a year ago. I admit that my immune system probably wasn’t as strong as normal due to being very stressed out over something in my life, and I wasn’t eating right. Luckily the rash area wasn’t super big, but boy was it painful! I also got a side effect which was a pseudo hernia. Very weird. I think I still have to a lesser extent but haven’t gotten it checked out. I’m a little scared that it be something serious, but I hate going to the doctor and don’t trust most of them. If Dr. Berg sees my comment, I would love to hear him speak on pseudo hernias and other long term side effects that people have mentioned here from shingles and what to do about it.
Possibly, some of Dr Berg’s videos on hernia may help? Otherwise you may want to call him on his Friday show?
WOW! Big help! I recall my Dad having shingles many years ago and he was soooo miserable the medicos put him on an anti depressant!! If only we had known then about Vitamin D and Geranium.
Your advice is golden, so thank you very much, Dr. Berg
I've been suffering with shingles since August, and it is by far the worst thing I've ever experienced. I developed radiation sickness from my cancer treatment and was given prednisone, which I think saved my life, but wow. I'm not sure it was worth it. I'm a bit upset with my oncologists for not making this link. I am mostly pain free today. I'm still having some stinging and numbness, which I can live with but I totally understand why someone would take their own life because sadly I considered it myself.
Had Shingles once, on my both my shins, while having MRSA on my right knee. Didn't know about the benefits of Manuka honey until after I saw a doc after a week of putting up with both. Then I learned about Manuka, took care of both in 3 days, and started learning about better supplementation.
Did you take the Manuka honey internally or did you put it on the skin?
Did you take the Manuka honey internally or did you put it on the skin?
@@prudenceseales735 probably both....
You ate manuka and it got better?
@@prudenceseales735 , I am answering what I did for IMPETIGO two weeks ago. Also works for herpes and shingles.......
Impetigo
1) Wash your hands thoroughly.
2) Use a clean warm water wash cloth to remove crusts. [ I use either black tea or chamomile tea to clean area] The staph or strep bacteria live under the crusts so you must remove them. I throw washrag directly into washing machine.
3) wash hands again thoroughly
4)use a clean spoon to put some MANUKA Honey in a clean bowl. Be careful to set jar aside to not contaminate it.
5)Apply MANUKA Honey to face or rash over the blisters or sores. Cover the entire area. Set bowl aside for next application later that day.
6) Let Honey set on FACE or rash do not wash off.
7) The Honey will kill the bacteria
8) remove crusts and reapply 4 times a day. You do not need to wash off the honey.
I took 1,000 mg L-Lysine every hour because I was not sure if it was a herpes simplex cold sore, shingles or impetigo at first. L-lysine stops viral replication.
My face rash was around my upper lip under my nose and cheeks covering a palm sized area. It was impetigo. It went completely away in 4 days using only MANUKA honey.
If you don't have MANUKA honey use the honey you have as long as it is Real honey and not just fake liquid sugar.
I also prayed and asked God to Heal me in Jesus Name. I wish you Clarity and Peace and Joy on your Healing Journey. Hold the Lantern and Light The Way. I am sending Love and Hugs from Washington State, USA, Jeanne of In Loving Hands Counseling
At 16 I had shingles on the top right side of my face and head, it had swelled my eye shut for about a week. Worst pain I’ve ever had to experience. Then the very next year I was in a car accident and busted the top left side of my face and swelled that eye shut lol, horrible. Thank u Dr Burg with all the info u share with us
My 8 year old just got shingles last month...it was awful. I just can't believe it. I am hoping this video helps.
We used ivermectin for my husband’s shingles rash and methylene blue for the nerve pain. Worked well.
Topically?
Cool
What is methylene blue?
@@michelehazlett4224 it is a dye that was shown to cure malaria in the late 1800s.
@@Kittiesinclair5 both orally. Topical IVM may have been helpful but I didn’t think of it.
I got shingles as a young child, which goes to show how lousy of an immune system I had. It was probably the most painful experience of my life.
I shared this video with my friends via blog. Thank you so much!
You're very welcome!
That’s good info. I have had Shingles , first time strong and second time mild. I have to say though , Meniere’s disease was much much worse. 1.5 years of attacks, spinning out of control, nerve the side of the head every bit as sensitive as Shingles, vomiting many hours and passing out only to wake up to vomit more. 60% of that 1.5 years laying down. Tinnitus so load at times it was like someone yelling in my ear. The noise now never goes away 17 years. And all this while you begin to go deaf. Shingles is only a month maybe. I have heard conflicting doctor statements about if you have had Shingles it is done and you don’t need immunization shot against it. I don’t know now for sure.
The main thing is to study about it. Dr Berg made a few videos on this ❤
Thank you for this! My mom wants me to get the vaccine, but ever since what my first (and last) flu shot did to me, I'm terrified of vaccines. I'd much rather try to prevent it naturally!
Get the shot!!
Wise choice.
@@lory2videos I'm sorry that happened. I hope your vision recovers.
@@lory2videos plenty of people dead and injured from it while most of the world looks away
Smart choice. Don't crack under pressure and change your mind!
This is new. I have been in the medical profession and didn’t know that you could permanently cure shingles.
The incidence of Shingles has been increasing and linked to the introduction of mRNA and DNA based Gene Therapies used during the Pandemic to combat SARS-CoV-2 infections.
Thank you for sharing the truth. You are correct. Wish more people knew about this
Was there a study on this or your opinion?
My aunt, a GP, developed shingles for the first time in her life at the age of 60 straight after her most recent covid vaxx and says the jab is what caused it.
@@esthersdaughterlong8149 Yes, this is very true.
@@truenokill just study your environment I'm an active member of Na most people in there have herpes due to their Reckless lifestyle after everybody that I personally know got the vaccine which I didn't their herpes has come out full-blown like they're on steroids Valtrex which is a very popular drug to suppress herpes symptoms basically is barely working
Good video again, Team Berg. Same old graphics we've seen for years now, but I learned so much and I will make sure to do my part and spread the word, share the video, and suggest Vitamin D for those in my circle who get Shingles. I had it once in my 30's. Physical injury compounded with high stress and low sleep. If I knew then what I know now.
Merry Christmas to you all. I hope your holidays are filled with the love and laughter of friends and family. Love to you all. Peace.
After my parents divorced, and my Dad left I got shingles, at age 11. Dr. gave me a salve, worked great and cleared it up on my back. Dr. said stressful events can cause Shingles. Good to hear Vit D also helps. Thx Dr. Berg.
Dr. Eric Berg always brings the best information. Thank you for your critical content.
I can’t believe this great testimony that I must share to all Herpes victim in the world. I never believed that their could be any complete cure for Herpes virus Hsv1&2 I saw people testimony on blog sites on how Dr. Ani prepared herbal medicine and Brought them back to life again. I use the Herbal medicine the doctor sent to me. Right now I can tell you that few months now I have not had any pain, and the delay in treatment leads to death. All Thanks to Doctor Ani John herbal solution you can contact Dr.Ani John for help🙏🙏
I’m taking once a day sometimes twice with your Vitamin D3 and K2. I hope not to get shingles issue in my body. Thanks a lot for this information. Blessings to you DrBerg.🙌🙌🙌
I had shingles right after Thanksgiving last year. The pain was absolutely horrible. I wish I had seen this video for the recommendation of the vitamin D cream. Hope it never comes back!
Invaluable advice!!! Thank you Dr Berg!!
Whole milk is amazing at soothing the itch. I had blisters under eye lids whole milk rinses every couple hours was only help. I also used 1-2 cups in a bath. No soaps or anything else. It truly is amazing!!! It also resolved a life time of hives issues and 20 years of extreme dry eye.
Probably the lactic acids
wow amazing I have dry eye have drops do not help much will try whole milk you mean three percent?
How does milk help hives? I sometimes have hives every day.
@@upthedown1 milk has vitamin D in it.
@@michelehazlett4224 Eating ground flaxseeds (ground fresh with coffee grinder) 2-4 Tbs daily has given me great relief. Also OPCs.
Oh my gosh. He is correct. I had four epsodes of shingles and when my primary doctor prescribed vitamin D, it never returned. Ten years later, I now have multple myleoma and while managed, I am VERY afraid of body weakening and getting shingles once again. Now, I will follow his additional advice. Thsnk youuuuuu
Yes. Also some of his earlier videos on shingles may help as well❤
Thank you Eric for all this information ❤ have a wonderful weekend sir 😊
About a year ago, I got shingles and I have had issues with low Vit D in the past. I was lucky - it was very minor for me - nothing more than an inconvenience - very low pain. Hope it never comes back. Merry Christmas Dr Berg. Love the channel.
You are very lucky.
@@chrisbetts6194 definitely I consider myself lucky.
I had shingles twice. The last one, doctor prescribed me with 70 antibiotic capsules. I still remember the pain and the difficulties in finishing the capsules. Now i wont be haunted by shingles anymore.
I'm 73 never had shingles but had chicken pox as a kid. Take lots of vitamin d
I’m watching this, as I’ve had Shingles twice and it was sheer hell. I need to know how to stave it off. Thanks, Dr. Berg!

Dr. Berg, thank you for your videos! You are so easy to understand and your videos are extremely helpful.
You're very welcome! Glad to help!
Stress is definitely a factor and certain vaccines.
I had shingles and it's one of the worst viruses anyone can get.! I was under so much stress and even though I lived in Trinidad at the time where the climate is hot! Stress broke down my immune system! Dr. Berg knows what he is talking about because standing in the SUN every day was the only thing that really helped me to get better!!! In addition my white blood cells was lin fact ow! This is good advice everyone!!!! Thanks Dr. Berg
we treat shingles with oil of Oregano and ivermectin and it was amazing how fast the shingles went away..
How did you treat you with oil.
I am a 56 yr old cancer survivor with weakened immune system. 4 weeks since I had shingles. The rash is gone, but I am having waves of post herpetic neuralgia - the nerve pain is so bad I am screaming. Now we try pregabalin, Thanks for the tips on geranium oil and Vitamin D. I will try anything.
I understand how you feel believe me, I have been through this same pain before and finding the best cure for Herpes, Shingles (HSV1&2 ) contact Dr.Ani John via RUclips channel he saved my life from this same virus I will always recommend him because he is the best herbal doctor in the world
My husband had it, and can attest that geranium oil really helped the pain. He really suffered, wish we knew about Vit D levels then.
God bless you Dr berg for your wealth of information that you are sharing with humanity
Wow! Great to know! I have had shingles twice! I live in Northern Minnesota!

Thank you for the heads up on this Dr. Berg. 👍
Great information Dr Berg! Can you please make a video that discusses which DNA tests are best (and most afordable) for uncovering genetic and food alergy issues(?) Ty!!
Genetic tests are normally done by a geneticist if you have any conditions that run in the family such as cancers or other serious conditions. Easy Dna has intolerance tests for allergies but this is in the UK, it costs around £79
Thank you I was not worried about shingles and you reinforce that. I get all of the minerals and vitamins recommended in liquid format daily and it has changed my life.
I've had shingles three times, just in the last 2 years, and they were usually related to stress. It was so mild, however, that I believe that I must have had the mildest cases of shingles in the world. It affected a very small area each time and the amount of pain was almost non-existent. The first time was the worst, and it was barely noticeable. I try to stick to a low carb diet and take cod liver oil every day. I'm 64.
Does that helped?
Vitamin D 50,000 iu a week
@@peaceandlove544 yes
Lysine, Lysine
Cod liver oil is rich in natural Vitamin D, besides Vits A, E, K, which are all good for skin health and immunity. But you'd have to take large quantities of it when the shingles comes on. Your daily consumption of CLO was probably what helped with the mildness of the pain. Low carb or Keto diets are also helpful in building good health.
I’m going thru it! Very depressing!! Doing everything you say, thank you Doc.
Also, some of his videos on vitamin d absorption may help further ❤
Did you get over it? How are you doing?
@@mysticaltyger2009 actually I still have residual! I literally got it Dec.1!! I got it on my right side of my head,ear,neck,shoulder! The worst pain ever in my life!! ( and I’ve been thru some pain) the first 2-3 weeks were touch and go! I was ready to die! It definitely broke my spirit! It will humble you! A lot of praying 🙏🏼!! I still have a problem raising my arm straight up? ( I’m not complaining lord, thank you for this day)… It’s a crazy virus! I’ve talked to some people who didn’t experience what I did and skated right thru it! (I hate them people😂 kidding) and some that had issues for a year!! Hope and pray you never get it! Thank you for asking, have a fantastic day!✌🏼
Ask your dr for the shingles vaccine if you’re 65+. Be your own advocate. My mom’s dr never informed her about it ahead of time. She eventually got a nasty case that lasted months along her forehead & scalp (travels vertically), continues to experience random bouts of neuralgia on her head many years after.
Signs/symptoms vary per person. I suspected shingles when I saw a red pimple looking dot between her eyebrows as she was complaining about a headache that felt like extreme electrical shocks. ER dr had no clue, sent her to get CT Scans 2x on separate visits.
Family dr eventually diagnosed her.
Never knew about Vitamin D-I will be sure to tell her to take it daily.
Thanks, I appreciate you doc.
I had shingles due to a post kidney transplant immunospressed state. I would drink colloidal silver and the symptoms were usually gone the same day. Usually 12 hours or less
How much did you drink? They also have a gel and salve that I use regularly for any and everything
@@DivaDen i drank 2/3 of a shot glass full twice a day. It was about 13 ppm colloidal silver that i hade made myself. Never had to do it more than a few days.
That is what I placed on my shingles but still ended with permanent nerve damage
@@sheilalarkin1291 I suggest you check each of Dr Berg’s on nerve damage ❤
I also used colloidal silver and applied manuka honey.
Happy new year 2023 Dr Berg, thank you for your great work.
Happy new year everyone here as well
I am 60 years old with MS. And have had it Shingles. 16 times in the last 20 years. I have gotten Winter, Spring, Fall, Winter.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have shingles right now, and the pain is like no other pain I’ve ever had 😬
❤
I got shingles October 2021. Worst pain ever. I already knew my D levels were not optimal. I took 50k iu of D daily, I also took K2 and Mag Threonate with the D, I took NAC and Lysine as well. I used cannabis for the pain, it was excruciating. Wish I knew about the geranium oil. Nothing I used topically really helped much. OH, correction, I did use Manuka oil topically and it helped a little. Thankfully it only lasted about 3 weeks and no lasting problems.
Hello Tara, you are correct with Lysine. I take it from the moment I read that it was an anti shingles. I am 62 years old
Did you get the Covid vaccine?
@@georgiesmith106 yes, I received 3 doses because it was required by the restaurants.
@@georgiesmith106 Absolutely not. I was around people who were vaxxed. Coincidence? IDK
Wow. Also, possibly, Dr Berg’s videos on pain may help you avoid the next pain ❤
