Herpes zoster – believe in the witch but not in the doctor, eventually suffering themselves Herpes zoster, one of our local folklore is called snake wrapped around the waist. It is also called snake belt sores, snake string sores, and some are called snake wrapped around the waist. There are many names for this disease, but it all boils down to snake related. Since it is related to snakes, it is a serious condition. Some people say that the snake wrapped around a circle will kill the person. This also shows that this disease is to be taken seriously. There is a certain degree of seriousness. The word snake sums up the form of the disease. The rash is arranged in a long strip. This is what modern medicine calls distribution along the nerves. As for the saying that the snake wraps around the waist and wraps around a circle, it just means that the more bubbles this disease has, the more serious the condition. From my more than ten years of clinical experience, the snake wrapped around the waist wrapped around a circle mainly occurs in patients with extremely low autoimmunity, such as AIDS, malignant tumor patients. Generally, patients with normal immunity rarely develop generalized herpes. This is the reason why the disease shingles causes death. The severity of the disease is judged not only by the number of blisters, but also by the location of the disease. In general, it is most serious when it occurs on the head and face, and the most painful when it occurs on the breasts of women and men. Regarding the treatment of this disease, there are also many different opinions and statements. The orthodox treatment plan of Western medicine is a sufficient amount of a sufficient course of antiviral drugs, which are generally recommended to be applied continuously for 7 to 10 days. Chinese medicine treats the disease with evidence and prescribes different medications for different conditions. There are also many folk treatment options, such as drug application and cupping. This disease is also one of the most chaotic folk treatments, and there is a more painful method that we call here knife cutting. There are a few old men or women in the countryside who claim to use this method to treat shingles. They usually recite a mantra, take a knife to the rash and then the treatment is over. Some places will take ink to draw centipedes and other animals on the site of the disease, and then recite the incantation, because snakes are afraid of centipedes ah. In short, there are many divine methods. About the knife cutting method, I searched the historical documents of Chinese medicine, this should belong to one of the blessing method, may be related to the heart factor. Western medicine has concluded that mild cases of shingles can heal themselves without medication. I think that the patients who were able to get well by cutting are also in this category of self-healing! I have never been against all kinds of effective methods. But some of the things that some of the witches and wizards say when they give patients the knife cut treatment are really shameful. Some shinhan shamans also apply mud to the patient’s herpes area and tell the family and the patient himself not to wash it, because if they do, the person will be dead. But it was precisely the mud that led to the aggravation of the patient’s condition. The infection of the skin caused by the lack of aseptic operation and the bacteria in the mud further aggravates the disease. So some of these methods need to be adopted to identify the evidence. There are even some witches and holy men who make appalling remarks, saying that this disease should never be treated with medicine or infusion, and that once medicine or infusion is used, the person will immediately die. Our ward has cured many cases of very serious herpes zoster patients, all of which were treated with infusions and none of which died and left sequelae. On the contrary it is precisely some patients who listen to the witch and the gods that leave the sequelae of recurring pain.
