Stress and immune: Shingles is more likely to erupt when people are under much more stress than usual, and when they are "run down." vitamin c and an Amino Acid lysine can be supplemented to the diet, and occurrences can be significantly decreased or even eliminated. Immune system can also be boosted with herbal supplements. Also important to avoid foods that block immune system.Blatmanhealthandwellness.Com.
