Treating Shingles


What are "Shingles"?

Shingles is a disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which is the same virus that gives a child chickenpox.

After you have chickenpox, the virus stays in your body. It may not cause problems for many years. As you get older, the virus may reappear as shingles. Unlike chickenpox, you can't catch shingles from someone who has it.   

Early signs of shingles include burning or shooting pain and tingling or itching, usually on one side of the body or face. The pain can be mild to severe. Blisters then form and last from one to 14 days. If shingles appears on your face, it may affect your vision or hearing. The pain of shingles may last for weeks, months or even years after the blisters have healed. 

Currently, there is no medical cure for shingles. 

However, we now have a treatment that will stop Shingles from developing when treated in the prodrome (breakout) phase. 

Our new Bio-Electric Resonance treatment using specific frequencies of microcurrent electrical stimulation in either a single two-hour treatment or, in three consecutive one hour treatments has been proven to work in clinical trials to stop the progression of the affliction within 24 hours.  Additionally, the blisters scab up and heal concordantly beginning within a day after treatment. 

What's more, the treatment is now easy to deliver as we will be offering home treatment units.  All you will need is knowing that you currently have the Shingles either by diagnosis from your doctor or by knowing from the experience of prior outbreaks that were previously diagnosed.

While not a guarantee, some medicines that fight the virus may help if delivered early, and they may also help prevent lingering pain.  A recently developed vaccine for people 60 or over may prevent shingles or lessen its effects, though it is best when administered early on when a diagnosis has been made.
