Can TOPICAL BLOOD APPLICATION cure shingles?

[Guest guest]

In Ireland a widespread 'cure' for shingles is for a 'healer' to apply

blood directly to the lesions. The blood is drawn from the healer's

finger by pricking with a pin. The 'cure' appears dramatically

effective, getting rid of all pain within 24hrs, halting the spread of

the infection immediately and 'curing' the condition within days. The

healers are widely known in their localities for the practice.

 

An immune system explanation is possible and I suggest one at

I would appreciate comments if possible from anyone in the group as I

am not an immunologist.

Many thanks.
