Thank you White Tiger. I definitely will try the olive leaf. I live in Asheboro, NC and notice you are down the road a piece. Do you know if olive trees would grow in this climate?
I did google the shingles and found lots of stuff. One thing of interest I found on People's Pharmacy is using Listerine topically for the itching and burning of the rash. I just went and got some, but Linda is finally sleeping just now and I do not want to awaken her. She gets very little sleep lately.
