Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus.
Shingles is an infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which also causes chickenpox. It occurs in people who have had chickenpox and represents a reactivation of the dormant virus. The disease generally affects the elderly, although it occasionally occurs in younger and/or immuno-deficient individuals.
The first sign is usually a tingling feeling, itchiness, or stabbing pain on the skin. After a few days, a rash appears as a band or patch of raised dots on the side of the trunk or face. The shingles rash develops into small, fluid-filled blisters that begin to dry out and crust over within several days. When the shingles is at its peak, symptoms can range from mild itching to extreme and intense pain.
Contact with a person with shingles may cause chickenpox (but not shingles) in someone who has never had chickenpox before.
Although shingles can be very painful and itchy, it is not generally dangerous to healthy individuals and it usually resolves without complications. The rash and pain usually go away within 3 to 5 weeks. Sometimes serious effects including partial facial paralysis (usually temporary), ear damage, or encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) may occur. Persons with shingles on the upper half of the face should seek medical attention immediately as the virus may cause serious damage to the eyes. Most people who have shingles have only one bout with the disease in their lifetime. However, individuals with impaired immune systems, i.e., people with AIDS or cancer, may suffer repeated episodes.

About Mesosilver All Natural Colloidal Silver
Supplement your immune system with Mesosilver, an all natural dietary supplement. Mesosilver is made up of a high concentration of pure colloidal silver particles suspended in sterilized water. The particles are of the smallest size, .65 nanometers, and it's this high quality and small size combined with being highly concentrated that makes it the most effective colloidal silver product on the market. Further, Mesosilver has no drug interactions, meaning it will not interfere with any medications you may currently be taking. It also has no side effects reported from its many users. (Of course, do not take Mesosilver if you are allergic to silver). Mesosilver works to support a healthy immune system function. Drug claims cannot be made for Mesosilver. It is difficult and expensive to conduct the double-blind drug type experiments for dietary supplements that would be required to support any drug claims. However, testimonial reports from customers suggest that Mesosilver is an effective supplement to aide in maintaining good health.
Method of Use:
"I had emailed you over a year ago telling you how skeptical I was over what some related to me what was a " snake oil treatment " for shingles, and how I agreed to try your colloidal silver for no other reason than to prove to my wife that this would just be another useless " tonic " like some of the other remedies suggested by well meaning friends. So I did take internally and topical the silver and not only did I discover my shingles disappeared but also the horrible congestion in my throat which caused me to nearly constantly clear my throat." - Robert Weaver, Las Vegas, NV
"An elderly lady from my church . . . called me last night to tell me that the painful shingles on her face had completely healed! She was so excited! So am I... It really makes my day to know that once again Colloidal Silver wins and misery loses!" - Marsha
"I started taking colloidal silver when I had shingles. The hospital said nothing could be done but put me in the hospital with iv's. My husband found colloidal silver on the internet, and what a blessing. Immediately it started receding from under the eye to the throat. I also took it for 6 months. Then I discovered other benefits, acne, pneumonia, fungus, warts, colds, flu, memory etc." - Mary Shelton, Washington
"I started taking Mesosilver as an anti-bacterial and antiviral treatment for shingles After a couple of weeks, the shingles really subsided and are now gone. I never experienced anything like that before." - John Lemon, Maple Shade, NJ
