Yes shingles have always been associated with same virus type as chicken pox. We added in some monkeys to the mix. Gee that phiz jab might have something to do with it.
Someone with a strong immune system is less likely to have a severe case of shingles. If it is dormant and your immune is down, that's when it gets its power. Detox and strong immune system will be key in preventing any type of shingles even the chimpanzee kind.
If breakout of shingles, L-Lysine is key (also works with herpes tied to shingles), Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Zinc, lots of broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and radishes.
