A member asked:
I'm a 38 yr. old woman and i'm on the 6th day of my first episode of shingles. do you think drinking apple cider vinegar might help kill the virus?

No.: I am sorry to hear about your case of shingles. It can be quite painful. Apple cider vinegar will do nothing to kill the virus or shorten the duration of your symptoms. There are antiviral medicines that can help and also good pain medicines to make you feel better.

No: The virus is not in your GI tract, it is affecting nerves. So, apple cider vinegar should not help to kill the virus.
