Condition: Shingles
A virus, Varicella zoster, which causes chickenpox, also causes shingles. Once you have had chickenpox, the virus lies dormant in your body. Certain triggers, such as stress, immune deficiency from AIDS, chemotherapy or radiation and certain cancers can reactivate the virus resulting in an outbreak of shingles. Approximately 10-20% of the population will experience shingles at some point in their life. It is most common in adults over the age of sixty and those who contracted chickenpox before the age of one. Given an aging population, it is theorized that over half of the population eighty years of age or older will contract shingles. Shingles is medically termed Herpes zoster however it is not the same as the herpes virus that causes mouth sores or genital herpes.
Shingles begins with sensitivity or shooting pain along a nerve usually on one side of the face, neck or torso followed by the development of a rash. The rash is characterized by small red patches that blister. The rash spreads for approximately four days before the blisters will pop and ooze, forming small sores that will then crust and eventually heal. Shingles is contagious until the blisters have crusted. Shingles can be characterized by pain with no appearance of a rash. However, if a rash does develop, taking a wellness approach can help speed the healing of the blisters and prevent scar tissue from forming.

I had a good experience with the EC Mode Zinc C Thera-Serum! I got shingles a week and 1/2 ago and I kept putting Zinc C Thera-Serum on them. The doctor said it is very strange, but whatever I was putting on it, it was keeping the shingles contained to one area and not spreading to other areas of my body!

My client is located in Los Gatos, California and works at Diva’s Salon. She is 45 years old and has had shingles for over a year around her mid section, wrapping all the way around to her back….it has been miserable.
I gave her an EC Mode Zinc C Thera-Serum and then came back in two weeks. The shingles were all dried out! She had been to several doctors and nothing has worked this well. This was two months ago and to date, her shingles have not returned. Prior to using the Zinc C Thera-Serum she would have a breakout instantly right after healing and that did not happen with the Zinc C Thera-Serum. She has remained healed.
Thanks for such an amazing product that I can share this story with such success!
