In this video, we’re going to talk about why it seems that everyone is getting shingles.
Shingles is a viral infection caused by a virus called herpes zoster, the same virus that causes chickenpox. This virus often lays dormant for many years before creating a severe and painful rash.
Normally, 1.5 to 2.5 out of 1000 people will have shingles on average. However, from 2000 to 2007, there was an average of 3 cases of shingles per 1000 people.
In certain areas, this number can be even higher.
Shingles hides in your nerves in a dormant state until you experience a suppression of immunity.
If your immune system is weakened in any way, you can potentially develop shingles if you have the virus.
Someone with a strong immune system is less likely to have a severe case of shingles.
Certain things can be a trigger for this virus coming out of remission and causing shingles, including:
1. Cancer and asthma drugs
2. Prednisone
3. Radiation
4. Stress
5. A poor diet
6. A lack of sleep
7. Pesticides and insecticides
In more recent years, our exposure to pesticides has increased significantly. I believe that this is causing poor immune function and increased cases of shingles.
The best things to help detoxify the harmful pesticides in your body are:
• Fasting
• Vitamin D
• Vitamin C
• Zinc
• L-Lysine
• Melatonin
• Cruciferous vegetables (especially radish)

I'm going to jump on the "got it after vaccination" train. About 10 days after my first booster (and my last), I broke out tremendously around the rib cage and STILL have occasional pain to this day. My doctor told me he was (as well as his colleagues) getting swamped with shingles cases all around the same time as this booster was given en masse. It is horrific to get and takes a long time to get rid of... if ever.

In the Fall of 2000, my 5yr old daughter got the shingles after her school forced her to get the chicken pox vaccine. I explained to the school that she had the chicken pox when she was 2 and didn't need the vaccine. They didn't care and wouldn't allow her to continue school until she was vaccinated. She got the shingles a week after being vaccinated. I never heard my child scream so loudly for so long due to the excruciating pain. I felt so helpless! I took her to the doctors and they were shocked to see she had the shingles at such a young age. Clueless doctors!! Pharma corruption? I think so!!

@@bluelava4282 Yes, shingles is an outbreak from an earlier case of chickenpox. Chickenpox is caused by the virus varicella. After chickenpox which mostly people had as children, the virus lays dormant in the nervous system and later in life can become reactivated as the painful outbreak known as "shingles", the medical term is herpes zoster. Interestingly, I had chickenpox for the first time at age 53 and my PCP at that time said, "well at least now you have immunity". I'm not sure if he meant I'd have a longer period of immunity against shingles or what. He has now since retired so I cannot ask him and my new PCP (30 years old) told me I should have the shingles vaccine but so far I have not agreed to this. The side effects and reported efficacy are concerning.

[@chadderbox1343]

Its bc when you're a baby, the pediatrician gives you the chicken pox vaccine. That vaccine only lasts up to 5 years. Bc they gave you this vaccine instead of allowing you to get chicken pox and build a natural immunity, we now have adults getting shingles. Had you never had the chicken pox vaccine, you would have built immunity to fight shingles. Gut health is where it's at. Try the GAPS diet. Probiotics REAL probiotics and not a random vitamin made by all the same big pharma companies.

Dr. Burg you are spot on. In January of this year, 2021, I had shoulder surgery and did not sleep very well for several months. I eat a lot of organic foods, exercise often and take a myriad of great supplements. All that being said, there is no substitute for adequate sleep to keep our immune system strong. In April of this year, I came down with the worst case of shingles I can imagine. After two weeks of almost no sleep from the constant agony, suicide was definitely flowing through my mind. There is nothing worse than shingles. I went to the doctor and they put me on some sleeping medication along with pain medication and I slept for about 20 hours. I am now taking about 100 mg of trazodone each night in order to get sleep, as much as I hate prescription medication‘s, I never wanna go through shingles again.

I’ve had shingles 6 times in my life, so I know it wasn’t a rash. Light cases aren’t particularly painful. They are very similar to a rash. They usually go from an itching stage to a sore stage. Sometimes the skin gets real sore and the shingles don’t even break out on the skin where it’s real sore. I’ve been real lucky and only have had light cases of this stuff. I’ve gotten my second shingles shot now and hopefully I’m good. The shots made me a lot sicker than the COVID shot did. COVID shots were a breeze. Shingles shot put me down.

As a 2 time Shingle-lee in my 40s, it's all about recognizing the symptom. If your 1st rash starts to "sunburn" a bit, get to the dr. in 12-24hrs - they take you first. I don't do many meds, but 7 days of prescribed Valtrex and rest suppressed it into nothing. My second shingle ended up the size of a silver dollar and gone in a week. Lifelong non-jabbee.

I can relate to what you went through. As a child I had German Measles and Chickenpox. I overcame both naturally my grandmother kept me inside our home with warm temperature and she had heavy curtains closed so there was no sunlight coming in. This makes German Measles and Chickenpox come out quicker, so recovery is quicker. As an adult I had shingles when I was going through a divorce. Obviously stress related. I went to my GP she prescribed some tablets and in a week my shingles disappeared. 13 years ago I got shingles when I met my boyfriend, who is my wonderful husband now. He had a very rood and manipulative 17 years old daughter, stress, stress, stress for us both. However stress affected me more, I got shingles again. This time I knew all about shingles, so I went to my GP, she prescribed ne some tablets and shingles, which went away in 1 week. She told me that if we catch shingles within 24 - 48 hours, we can STOP it very effectively. My GP said to me also, anyone who had German Measles or Chickenpox as a child is more likely to get shingles as an adult. Having even more knowledge from watching Dr. Berg, I'm doing intermittent fasting and keto and I'll ket my natural immunity system defend me. NO vaccines of any kind for me. I didn't take Covid-19 experiment, and don't plan to take any vaccines. Since that time, I never got shingles anymore.
