tonic?

[flubber]

I'm in the 8th day of an attack of shingles, can any of you recommend a good diet or tonic that I can put myself on to help boost my immune system?

start taking echinacea..this is the herbal antibiotic...you can also take some garlic capsules..you can get them odour free..take a good multi vitamin..and eat a healthy diet..it will take a few weeks for signs of improvement..i havnt had a cold now for 6 years as i start taking echinacea every september..till the spring then i rest from it..and i used to be ill all the time..

Thank you for that information mullein2, I will try the echinacea and have just bought some multi vitamins.

I know shingles is brought on in many ways, I think this has been stress related and obviously my system needs a boost right now so hopefully this will help the healing process.

Thank you too Maggie, and yes it's certainly painful.
