Several years ago, in a clinic where I worked, we used high dose vitamin B-12 injections (intramuscular) to reduce symptoms...based on studies: Gupta AT et al. Indian Pract 1967;20(7):457-59 and Hope-Simpson RE Geriatrics 1967;22(9):151-59. This treatment is not because of any B-12 deficiency, but appears rather to inhibit nitric oxide (which may be related to the inflammation/pain of the herpes zoster virus--J Dermatol Sci,
September 1, 2002;
29(3):
201-5). Most MDs should not have a problem giving their patients the 500-1000 microgram IM injection for 3-4 days to see what will happen. On the other hand, if you can find a naturopath or D.O. that does nutritional IV therapy, a large dose of vitamin C (about 5-10 grams) has been shown to have potent antiviral effects....specifically with the Herpes. (Southern Med Surg 1949;111:209-214 and in a French journal - Zureick M. J des Practicians 1950;64:586)....also see articles by the orthomolecular society. In the latter journal cited above, 327 patients that were given IV vitamin C injections had resolution of all symptoms within 3 days of the treatment...pain resolving within 2 hrs...
