His Problem
An 87-year-old man came to see me with a case of shingles. The shingles were located on his back and were spreading onto the left side of his abdomen. He had severe skin eruptions that were red and blistering.
His Pain and Symptoms
The pain he felt was like splinters and fire. It was excruciating. He was very restless all day long and could not find any rest. His low back was also aching, and it was worse on his left side.
Even though he was in severe pain, he had a good sense of humor and was very talkative.
What He Had Already Tried
He had gone to see a physician who prescribed him:
- Valtrex 500mg – 9 pills per day
- Tylenol 500mg – 2 pills every 4 hours if needed for pain
He started taking these medications, but they did not help. So, he finally came to see me.
My Treatment
After talking with the patient, taking his full medical history, and reviewing his specific symptoms, I analyzed his case. I gave him the homeopathic remedy Rhus Toxicodendron 200C.
I told him to take 3 granules every 2 hours for the first day. I also told him to take it less often if the healing was going well.
Since the Valtrex and Tylenol were not working, he decided to stop taking them. He chose to focus only on the homeopathic remedy I suggested.
His Progress
Day 2: The pain was reduced by at least 75%, and the blisters were already healing. I recommended he continue taking the remedy for a few more days to make sure no more eruptions appeared.
Two weeks later: He called me and said the healing process was going really well. He was in very little pain and only needed to take the remedy once a day.
Four weeks later: He was completely fine.
