Feedback on the new shingles vaccine? I usually lie low on medical treatment and don't go for 'the latest' treatment on much of anything. But then, I am healthy. Any feedback about this new vaccine? Side-effects? Avoid it? Go for it? Just collecting data here, thanks.
Very good. Thank you.

BHT is said to cure shingles and other lipid coated viruses.
When I had shingles, I held a red heat lamp (like you can get at a hardware store), which is infrared light on it several times a day. I held it as close as possible, WITHOUT burning myself. In a week it was gone.

I put the infrared lamp close enough so that it felt like it was burning me, but just short of doing so. I held it there for several minutes, then pull it back, and did it over several times in a row.
At first it hurts more, if that was possible, for a short time, but then the pain was reduced tremendously. After doing this for a few days, several times a day, the more the better, it began to disappear. Soon it was gone. Within a week, except a little redness, it was basically gone.
The caveat of the whole thing, is not to actually burn oneself. There is a fine line between having the treatment be extremely effective with fairly intense infrared heat and overdoing the heat and actually hurting oneself. If anyone were to try it, they should definitely do it with extreme caution. I imagine, though, that a lesser, safer amount of heat may be effective, even if it took longer. Also, infrared heat is well documented to reduce pain.
I don't necessarily subscribe to all on this page about infrared light therapy, but it is informative and interesting:
