Today, we’re going to talk about what causes shingles and the best natural remedies for shingles.
Shingles is a condition caused by a virus called varicella-zoster. Ultimately, there is a weakness within your immune system. But you can control the virus if you understand a little bit about the immune system.
Certain things can trigger this virus and cause it to come out of remission. These things can include:
• Vitamin D deficiency
• Certain medications
• Stress
• Radiation
• Sunburn
• Pesticides
A vitamin D deficiency makes you especially susceptible to having this virus come out of remission. Vitamin D controls and supports your immune system in hundreds of different ways.
Many different things can lead to a vitamin D deficiency, including a genetic weakness. It’s common to have a genetic weakness that can decrease your ability to absorb vitamin D. If you have this weakness, normal doses of vitamin D won’t be as effective.
Vitamin D is more like a hormone than a vitamin—it’s very similar to cortisol in its anti-inflammatory effects and what it can do for your immune system.
The best natural remedies for shingles:
1. Get a topical vitamin D cream
2. Take vitamin D with magnesium
3. Use geranium oil topically

I got shingles at 31 due to not sleeping, stress and over working myself. My 65yr old mom got it last year and the doctors didn’t prescribe her an anti viral. She has permanent nerve damage now. For the past year, she hasn’t been able to wear clothing on her back or go outside due to the wind and temperature causing pain.
@Sheila Larkin the ‘health f♾️d’ store is NOT healthy
@Wednesday bras are unhealthy, they cause problems, cut off circulation, weaken your muscles, etc
@Kat I am, Healing Artist & Spellbreaker 🕊 – You say health food stores aren’t healthy but then you offer no alternative suggestions for what is actually healthy…(?)…smh.
I, too, got shingles lower back, almost 20 years ago. . Thankfully I can maintain some normal life, although it’s very discouraging
I know someone who took the shingrex vaccine ended up in rehab they thought they’d protect themselves.
Just got through a severe episode of shingles. Yes used a blend of essential oils to help manage pain. Took Vitamin D by mouth but didn’t know about Vitamin D cream. Will order some ASAP. Have depressed immune system from chemotherapy and then a traumatic fall that fractured my hand and front teeth. You are just a wealth of information thanks Doc.
Vitamin D is what we all need. I take 5000 units a day everday for the last 15 years along wih zinc, selenium, vitamin k2, C, melatonin and garlic supplement. Haven’t had even a Cold in 15 years.
@Michelle Masters Vaccines are the only way viruses can enter the body. It’s where Coldsores come from. Varicella is responsible for chickenpox and shingles…same retro virus.
@Chantal Smalley I had a friend, age 60, catch the shingles. He was in Absolute Pain, but luckily, did not get any nerve damage. Boy, did I ever get my Vaccine Fast.
No
No surprise really, especially when one eventually wakes up and realizes… over the counter cold and flu products are a multi BILLION dollar industry.
@Jose Carranza ,.
Going through this right now , it’s in my eye 👁. Wow, I was on prednisone for 12 years..love your show’s..
On the face is quite painful, I had it at 20y/o and the only good thing is that it hasn’t came back, but now my immune system seems to be much better, still I am quite sick
I got shingles at 24 years old. Was one of the most stressful times of my life and told it was due to stress by the Doctor. Have had a lot of loss in my life and had many other issues going on at the time. I’m sorry to anyone who gets shingles because it truly does suck.
I have a similar story. Got it when I was 25 – during the most stressful time of my life (at the time). I’d never even heard of shingles at the time.
20yo here and yeah quite stressed, but now (8years later) I am way more sick from other things sadly
I had itchy inflamed skin in my armpit. Not quite the same as shingles but also painful. I couldn’t use any deodorant etc as it burned like hell. I started taking collagen. Besides clearing up the problem in my armpits, the rough skin on my knees and elbows are smooth now. Hope this helps someone.
I had shingles due to a post kidney transplant immunospressed state. I would drink colloidal silver and the symptoms were usually gone the same day. Usually 12 hours or less
How much did you drink? They also have a gel and salve that I use regularly for any and everything
@Diva Den i drank 2/3 of a shot glass full twice a day. It was about 13 ppm colloidal silver that i hade made myself. Never had to do it more than a few days.
That is what I placed on my shingles but still ended with permanent nerve damage
Great video, Dr Berg! A reminder to always take K2 with vitamin D3 so the calcium goes to the bones and doesn’t settle in the soft tissues.
How right you are !
Better research the vitamin K before promoting it
@Dharri You are obviously not informed about the pork its not what you think, why do think the j€ws ban it? And why pig parts are used to replace huMan parts? 🐷 cannib@|ism agenda 2I/3O, its 2022 soy|ent gr€€n is here 🤢
how much k2 do we need to avoid the calcium problem?
@Dharri -Do not forget fermented foods (sauerkraut) and moldy foods (cheeses and natto).
I’d expect home raised eggs would be best. Also pastured/grass fed butter is good.
Thank you for the heads up on this Dr. Berg. 👍
I had shingles twice in 10 years. 1st time a rash and 5 weeks. 2nd time no rash and just as bad but shorter time. Doc said it was from the same strain so sent me to get the shot
If they could give shingles to criminals theres be no crime. Very painful.
I can see why you have 9+ million subscribers, its from the great videos you post!
I am going to start taking extra vitamin D because I had shingles 3 times by the time I was 41. I had them so mild with only 2-3 bumps on the skin in the area with a very mild red rash area around them. My stress levels were off the chart when I got them in my adult years. I also had them at age 8 (4 years after having mild chicken pox). I haven’t met who had them young like I did.
Isn’t the shingles virus the chicken pox virus that people have in childhood. From what I’ve seen is people who have had the childhood version then have shingles latter in life by reactivating that virus. But the question is where does this virus come from in the first place? I never had chicken pox as a child, was around many children who had it and no shingles in adulthood either. Many people are getting the shingles vax and seem to be getting shingles anyway.
Had Shingles once, on my both my shins, while having MRSA on my right knee. Didn’t know about the benefits of Manuka honey until after I saw a doc after a week of putting up with both. Then I learned about Manuka, took care of both in 3 days, and started learning about better supplementation.
Dr. Berg I made a chamomile tea, for the rash from shingles,once it was cold I soaked a small towel in the cold tea and put on my blisters for 15 min. In 3 days, 3x a day they were gone. I had no pain, no sting, no itch. Not even a sign that I had such a horrible rash.
God bless you Dr berg for your wealth of information that you are sharing with humanity
Whole milk is amazing at soothing the itch. I had blisters under eye lids whole milk rinses every couple hours was only help. I also used 1-2 cups in a bath. No soaps or anything else. It truly is amazing!!! It also resolved a life time of hives issues and 20 years of extreme dry eye.
I rubbed Kawakawa balm onto the areas affected by shingles (face), and it soothed the skin and dulled the pain. Maori chewed Kawakawa leaves to reduce toothache. I have made tea with fresh Kawakawa leaves and found it numbed my throat at first and then my tongue. It’s an amazing plant that not many people know about. I now have two plants growing, and will grow more. If I get shingles again, I’m going to try mashing up the leaves and applying it directly.
Great information Dr Berg! Can you please make a video that discusses which DNA tests are best (and most afordable) for uncovering genetic and food alergy issues(?) Ty!!
I started taking cat’s claw and a week later, BAM a case of shingles. A weak link for my body because I had chicken pox, twice as a kid, shingles at 21, and hadn’t had them in 34 years.
