About 40 years ago my mother went to our neighbor, friend and family doctor with what he diagnosed as shingles. He said, "I'm going to treat this the old fashion way" and drew blood out of her arm and gave her a shot in the hip with it.

The shingles went away...and she never had them again.

Had to be psychosomatic. I can’t envision any possible medical benefit to doing that. But, the mind can have a powerful effect on some health issues. People have been known to think or “wish” warts away, it’s not just folklore. Warts are viral. Shingles are viral.
