REMany people have at least one variety of the shingles virus. Some varieties are rashing while others are non-rashing. The virus feeds on foods like eggs, dairy, gluten, corn, canola oil, and soy then releases dermatoxins that come out through the skin causing rashes and/or neurotoxins that inflame your nerves causing pain. When the immune system is weakened, the virus can become aggressive and proliferate extremely rapidly. But knowing what fuels the virus, and what starves it, gives you the power to kill it off and heal.
Dairy�Milk, cheese, butter, cream, and yogurt are high in fat, which can be difficult for the liver and digestive system to process. They also contain lactose (sugar + fat combination), and are believed to contribute to inflammation, mucus production, and can feed pathogens in the body. Even organic dairy may still have these effects.
Pork�All forms of pork (including bacon, ham, and processed products) are high in fat and can be taxing on the body, making it harder to support healing.
Gluten�Found in wheat, barley, rye, and spelt, gluten can trigger inflammation—especially in the gut—and may disrupt the immune system. Reducing gluten (and grains in general) is often recommended for better recovery.
Eggs�While once a survival food, eggs are believed in this approach to feed pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and yeast. They may also contribute to inflammation and can aggravate chronic symptoms.
Canola Oil
Highly processed and often GMO, canola oil is considered inflammatory and harsh on the digestive system. It’s commonly used in packaged foods and restaurants, so it’s important to check labels.
Soy
Much of today’s soy is genetically modified or heavily processed. Some products may also contain additives like MSG.
Corn
Once a staple food, corn is now largely GMO and highly processed. It is believed to contribute to inflammation and feed pathogens. Corn and its byproducts (like corn syrup and corn oil) are found in many packaged foods.
You deserve to have full knowledge of what you consume, and what effects it all has on your body.
