PHN

[Guest guest]

I am fairly new to the list and am working on my Master Herbalist

degree from Trinity School of Natural Health. So far, I am just

loving it!

 

My question for the group mind is: My 75 year old father got

shingles 6 months ago. Since then, he is suffering from Post

Herpetic Neuralgia. I have tried several different things with him

and have had limited success. I was hoping that you all will have

some other ideas. Forget the total body cleanse. He won't do that.

I have a hard enough time getting him to take vitamins! ;-)

 

Things I have already tried are homeopathic remedies, mag. phos.,

hypericum, arnica. Lysine, b12 injection, bcomplex vitamins, pH

balancing. Allopathically, he has had steroid injections,

antidepressants, antiinflammatories and is on vicodin for the pain.

 

Again, I KNOW he should do a cleanse, but the point is moot. I am

desparate to get him off the vicodin as I know how much damage it is

doing to him.

 

Thanks in advance for any ideas you may have.

can you make him take some of the lower bowel cleansing capsules and then

add in the other cleansers and change his diet so he doesn't know he is

cleansing?
