I developed a whopping case of shingles in early  January  and they still 
are creating a bit of a problem for  me


Hi Zoe, I have a friend that had the same problem.. It is  going on 4 yrs. 
now & she hasn't had a reoccurrence of shingles..She took a  couple 
tablespoons of CS {EIS} 3-4 times a day. & put "Brooks Mix" on  topically. I'm 
not 
sure how long it took for them to go away, I'll ask her, but  they have never 
returned... She makes her own CS {EIS} now & takes it  occasionally .
  Oh, "Brooks Mix" is a wonderful mixture for many skin  
problems--Psoriases & shingles being only 2 of them...To make "Brooks  Mix'  
75% CS {EIS} 
---10% DMSO & 15% glycerin..Add the DMSO last- -It  will get the mixture warm 
but that's OK...Shake it a bit before you use it each  time...{ Used 
topically}  
   & Thanks again to Brooks Bradley for  giving us the recipe for your mix 
& so many other helpful health related  goodies.... Lois
