Thanks for the tips- I will pickup Lysine and Capsaicin tomorrow at the health food store.
Unfortunately I just got new health insurance and medicine not covered yet and the anti-viral drugs were almost $250!!! So I am stuck with natural remedies for now.
I will see if tea tree oil and raw garlic applied to the shingle on my hand help or not. I hear both are natural anti-viral functions.
I don't have a zapper- I purchased the Silver Pulsar and Magnetic Pulsar from SOTA on Dr. Beck's reviews and thought that these killed viral infections. Or did I just get ripped off?
