Shingles Vaccine? My Last Word for Now. More on Political Lying.

#71 2024 The Rowen Report

Dear Subscriber,

One reader here kindly and respectfully  “demanded” I give more information on the shingles vaccine. So, I herein provide.

All of you know that I had a severe case of shingles several months back. My Substack post headlined “A Demonic Pain”. That really was an understatement. I struggled to find words to describe the pain, and usually I have a “reasonable” pain tolerance. I’ve taken ozone injections without local anesthesia (causing b urning local pain for a few minutes), and have routinely injected myself. This was different. I literally felt like a Demon from Hell escaped and implanted into my body.

All our acute treatments failed on me. I took anti-viral drugs for the first time in my life and likely started them too late. No help. I got helpful ideas and equipment from many, many people. The acute pain went on for over 2 months and I dreaded the thought of being the first shingles patient to go on to PHN – the dreaded permanent or semipermanent pain of shingles. I broke the unbearable part of the pain with fever/thermal therapy and from there I gradually made a full recovery, the prayers of so many on these pages reaching the universe.

I have been repeatedly asked about the vaccine, Shingrex. First, having been through nearly unbearable pain, I certainly feel/felt the need for protection. There are people who kill themselves from the inability to bear such a “curse”. Especially if it affects the eye. My sister is a world class eye doctor and has seen the worst. She has now begged me to get the vaccine, saying it is the only vaccine she recommends with full heart.

So, what do I do now?

Here’s what the CDC says about Shingrix, the vaccine;

“Shingrix provides strong protection against shingles and PHN. In adults 50 years and older who have healthy immune systems, Shingrix is more than 90% effective at preventing shingles and PHN. Immunity stays strong for at least the first 7 years after vaccination. In adults with weakened immune systems, studies show that Shingrix is 68%-91% effective in preventing shingles, depending on the condition that affects the immune system.”

My concern is PHN. We have seen cases in the office and they are tough to treat. None of our acute cases went on to PHN, as I was concerned about in my case. I was really worried for myself and for this lady we are currently seeing.

I try my best to practice healing from a spiritual perspective in all advice, education I do. I will not discourage someone from getting the Shingrex vaccine. Shingles is a horror to go through.  It does have toxicity, as do all vaccines, with uncommon but not rare neurological complications amongst the worst.  

Now we have learned a new technique – perineural therapy, which is injections of dextrose/glucose, of all things, into subcutaneous tissue. We are treating an amazing African American woman older than me who had my level of pain for over 6 consecutive months. She admitted to me it was difficult to live. In just 2 sessions, her pain dropped by 70% and she left the office this week after Terri’s last session with about 100% relief.

With the outstanding results we have traditionally had with ozone therapy for shingles, and now perineural therapy, I have made a decision regarding my own body. The Shingrex vaccine protects for about 7 years. ­My recent acute case protects me about 10 years according to medical literature. What gain do I get today from the vaccine?  Not enough.

But my circumstances will be different than the 70-year-old lady/man who has not had recent shingles and is concerned. I see benefit. So, I will not discourage her/him from moving to protect him/herself from a horrible condition. On the other hand, if he/she decides not to inject a Pharma potion in his/her body (which I fully understand these days), I will support that decision as well, as we have really good means to treat the acute phase and still to this day – 100% means to prevent/treat PHN.

I will reconsider my decision in 7 years. I hope there will even be a safer vaccine for shingles by then, but even if not, I’ll weigh my to-come-circumstances against the then known risks.

So, sorry for no definitive answer on this except to say that the only thing definite is that we are all different. We all must be evaluated and treated as the individuals we are. Unlike the COVID vaccine and childhood vaccines, which I would definitely condemn in most cases, the shingles vaccine has merit to prevent pain and suffering, and the worst of the process - PHN,

 On a closing note, my last two posts on the near catastrophe we missed by the hand of God (Trump turning his head at the moment the bullet pierced his ear, generated at least 3 people to unsubscribe from my Substack.  One woman kindly told me the reason - I am an extremist (apparently because I have not spewed venom over Trump). One man,  Herb, publicly commented:

Here’s everything you need to know about Donald Trump Dr. Rowen. Only four of the 44 people in his cabinet or his personal advisors support him now. There’s probably not another person on the planet who could achieve that goal. And this is the man that you and people on this site think should be president.

So, Herb, “here’s everything you need to know about” the entire Biden Family:

New York Post

Some of the 51 “Spies Who Lie” were active CIA contractors when they claimed filesfrom first son Hunter Biden’s laptop had “the classic earmarks” of Russian disinformation ahead of the 2020 election — a fact that was uneasily noted inside the agency at the time, new records acquired by The Post show.

51 government spies LIED to us, and successfully threw the election by their public LIES about what appears to have been payoffs to their family from corrupt Ukraine and China. I believe that is called “election interference,” a crime?.

Why are your liars more credible than liars for the Biden family? Why are your liars more credible than the obvious conspiracy between government and press to genetically alter all of us and destroy, LITERALLY DESTROY, those who questioned the crimes being committed over the “vaccine”, social distancing, lock downs, GOVERNMENT misinformation, etc.. Please answer, Mr. Herb, and educate me. I am apparently ignorant and politely and respectfully asking for education here, please. I will admit that I buy nothing I read from the clearly corrupt and controlled mainstream press. That does not mean there is not an occasional truth. I believe “they” learned well from how the Nazi’s manipulated the population.

And, if you cannot find where I endorsed any candidate, I expect a public apology, right here, as I will do for you should you find where I did. Endorsing a candidate is different than bringing you his/her views and positions as I have been doing with RFK, Jr and bringing you any positions on health and environment and even war I can get from the other candidates.

I strongly suggest that all here listen to this speech given at Freedom Fest by RFK, Jr just last week.You can take it all in at 1.5 speed to make it quick. I will scan for similar addresses by other candidates relevant to important matters we have discussed here, and bring them to you appropriately as I do with this speech.

To. Your Excellent Health,

Robert Jay Rowen, MD
