Advice

A number of years ago, I developed a rash on my leg that was very sensitive and painful, so much so that I could not sleep at night without my leg hanging out of bed. Even the gentle touch of the bed sheets were more than I could bear. My GP gave a tentative diagnosis of Shingles, but sent me to a Dermatologist. Between appointments, I read an article in the Saturday Evening Post written by a researcher, a Dr. named Corrie CerVaas. Her research had lead her to some remedies for shingles, things to take and things to stay away from in terms of diet. At that time there was not an injection for early onset Shingles that would nip it in the bud.

At my appointment with the specialist, who confirmed that I had Shingles and that I would just have to ride it out, I mentioned the article to him. He asked where I had read that. I told him and he laughed out loud. "Since when is the Saturday Evening Post a medical journal"

I was determined to follow the regimen laid out by Dr. CerVaas, and to my great delight, licked the problem in about five days. Since then I have passed on this advice to many people who have been helped by it, or at least those who have tried it.

It happened again this week. About ten days ago, I got a call from a customer delaying our start date on her renovation. The reason was that she had developed Shingles and she was not up to turning her house topsy-turvy in her condidtion. I gave her the diet and recomended the vitamins she should take and a few days later she called to re-book me. Today she told me how much better she was and that the condition was in remission. She thanked me profusely.

I thought it interesting that her husband runs a roofing company but she was the one who had the Shingles.
