Yoho prologue
Relationships are everything in psychotherapy. I know—I had a nine-year treatment between the ages of 35 and 44 and saw my therapist two to five times a week. Virtual treatment did not exist back then, so mine was in person.
My father was emotionally distant, and my mother had a bizarre, antisocial personality. This left holes in my parenting that seemed to be filled by this relationship. When I started, I was alone in Los Angeles after being kicked out of a dermatology program on the other side of the country. I was in a new medical residency, had a deteriorating marriage, and had recently found my brother’s body after he had hung himself.
I got along with my therapist, and he seemed to care about me, although we had our ups and downs. During this period, I met my wonderful current wife, Judy, who viewed the psychologist as a con man. Several years later, with the security she provided me, I felt the treatment was over, so I quit. Judy is a wolverine when she believes she is right, which is most of the time.
The whole experience was so subjective that it was hard to remember or describe, but because my therapist and I had a rapport, I benefitted.
I am telling you this to show that I speak Michael’s language and have the skills to judge him. Good therapists try to avoid imposing their values on their patients, and his point about maintaining boundaries is the most telling idea in our talk. He is sincere and far more intellectual than the average psychologist. Our interview was a pleasure.
The Evolution of Modern Addictions, by Michael Wenisch
I grew up in a conservative Catholic household where my father, a philosophy professor, was a protégé of 20th-century Catholic philosopher Dieter von Hildebrand, whose thought continues to inform my thinking and clinical work. Initially, I studied electrical engineering, but I eventually realized that my passion and talent lay in philosophy. This led me to obtain a PhD in Philosophy from Catholic University. For about twelve years, I taught at various colleges and universities while building a modest record of academic publications. However, I never secured a tenure-track position, which prompted a career change approximately twelve years ago.
With the generous support of my wife Michelle, I pivoted to the mental health field, completing my studies ten years ago. Since then, I’ve been a practicing psychological counselor specializing in sex addiction. This wasn’t necessarily a field I was passionate about, but I chose it for practical reasons. My background in philosophy, Christian theology, and related areas equipped me well to address issues in this domain. Furthermore, I recognized it as an underserved area in mental health. Many people struggle with these problems, and the vast majority of mental health professionals lack the knowledge to help them.
As I’ve continued this work over the years, it’s become clear that screen addiction represents an even larger-scale problem. While sex addiction and screen addiction are distinct, screen addiction is often a gateway to sex addiction. Addiction to phones, endless scrolling through social media, video games, and platforms like TikTok and Instagram frequently precede and facilitate the development of sex addiction.
Understanding Sex Addiction
This typically begins with a crisis. A client will contact me saying, “I am in serious trouble. I think my marriage is falling apart. My wife caught me looking at pornography,” or using OnlyFans or visiting massage parlors. In our initial conversations, I reassure them they’re not alone and that addressing such crises is my specialty. The early sessions focus on establishing goals, usually involving some combination of saving the marriage and overcoming addictive tendencies.
Approximately 75-80% of my clients are married, though I work with single men who have become aware of their problems. Internal motivation to recognize and overcome the situation is more effective than external motivation driven by a spouse’s anger. Part of my approach involves helping clients realize the harm their behavior causes them, regardless of their marital situation.
There’s an essential distinction between engagement with images for sexual pleasure versus engagement with live partners. During periods of intense sexual arousal, people enter a trance-like state of quasi-drunkenness where judgment is impaired. They pursue increasingly stimulating sexual activities and often cross the line from viewing images and videos to engaging in chat rooms with live individuals. For married people, this represents a qualitative shift into a form of infidelity, as they’re engaging in sexual activity with someone other than their spouse.
Based on my experience with the sample of people in my practice, over half of sex addiction clients eventually seek sexual activity in a live online setting, such as through chat rooms. About a quarter progress to physical sexual contact through massage parlors, escorts, or affairs.
The Psychological Framework
Sex addiction is not currently recognized in the DSM-5 as a psychological disorder despite evidence demonstrating that it causes the same changes to the brain’s dopamine-mediated reward system as other addictions. The behavioral sciences generally adopt the posture that sexual pleasure between consenting adults is morally neutral, which makes them reluctant to classify any sexual behavior as addictive or problematic. This perspective helps explain why so few practitioners are equipped to help people with these issues.
My approach differs from mainstream practice in that I try to help clients understand the moral, psychological, and spiritual harm they do to themselves through these behaviors. This approach requires working within each client’s frame of reference, belief system, and level of psychological maturity. I’ve found that younger clients in their early to mid-20s often lack the life experience to fully appreciate the harm they’re causing themselves.
The Progression of Addiction
One characteristic of sex and pornography addiction is the development of tolerance—needing more and more of the addictive agent to generate less and less satisfaction. With sex addiction, tolerance manifests both quantitatively and qualitatively. People find more of their lives consumed by thinking about and engaging in sexual behaviors, sometimes spending hours viewing pornography. They seek increasingly severe forms of sexual transgression, moving from pornography to escorts or, within pornography, pursuing more bizarre and extreme content.
This progression can lead people down unexpected and dangerous paths, sometimes involving illegal content such as child sexual abuse material. Some individuals develop serious legal problems. I’ve inadvertently developed a subspecialty in helping people who have encountered legal troubles related to these behaviors. I’ve witnessed both tragic outcomes and stories of redemption and recovery.
The Screen Addiction Epidemic
Screen addiction is the compulsive use of electronic media involving viewing a physical electronic screen. I believe screen addiction arises from a state of agitated distraction. People seek relief from this uncomfortable state by engaging with screens, whether through social media, games, or other digital content. However, the algorithms behind these platforms are engineered to provide short-term psychological rewards that impair executive function, making users even more distracted and agitated beneath the surface.
In this trance-like state, people pursue the dopamine hits from likes on social media, advancing in video games, or falling down rabbit holes of interesting content. After hours of this mindless pleasure-seeking, they feel empty and unsatisfied because none of it relieves their initial state of agitated distraction.
This phenomenon isn’t entirely new. In the late 1970s, Jerry Mander wrote “Four Arguments Against Television,” arguing that television had harmful effects on viewers. Today’s electronic media are far more sophisticated and insidious than what existed then. Screen addiction might affect the majority of the population.
Treatment Approaches
When helping clients with screen addiction, I often begin by having them monitor their usage through apps or built-in phone features. Many are shocked to discover they spend seven to nine hours daily on their devices when they estimate only two or three hours. Once clients recognize how much time they’re losing to screens and understand how this perpetuates a state of agitated distraction, they’re typically motivated to change.
For sex addiction, my approach varies by individual. Generally, I use a Socratic method to help clients discover for themselves the interior harm they’re accruing through sexual transgressions. While I don’t impose my value system on clients, I try to lead them toward recognizing that even masturbation without pornography can be harmful.
I’ve worked with clients from diverse belief systems—atheists, Muslims, Orthodox and liberal Jews, and Christians of various denominations. Regardless of religious background, almost all have a conscience and a basic sense of morality that can be appealed to. With experience, I’ve learned to engage with their ethical beliefs in ways that help them recognize the harm of their behaviors without violating the therapeutic principle of meeting clients where they are.
My approach represents an interplay between pre-modern, modern, and postmodern approaches to counseling. Pre-modern approaches involve traditional religious belief systems. Modern approaches are based on scientific materialism and hold that reality is objectively knowable through empirical science. Postmodern approaches are relativistic, suggesting that scientific outlooks are merely unproven dogma alongside religious dogmas.
I borrow from all three perspectives, shifting between them as situations warrant without violating Carl Rogers’ principle that therapists must provide clients unconditional positive regard.
Conclusion
The digital age has created new forms of addiction that intertwine with age-old human vulnerabilities. Both screen addiction and sex addiction produce serious psychological and spiritual challenges that require nuanced approaches to treatment. By understanding the root causes of these addictions and helping clients recognize the harm they cause, recovery becomes possible. While the path isn’t easy, many individuals have successfully overcome these addictions and rebuilt their lives and relationships.
Yoho epilogue
Michael has strong religious beliefs based on his Catholic upbringing and subsequent training and study. These afford him perspectives that are somewhat different from mine. We discussed this briefly when he called my viewpoint “scientific materialism.” I did not correct him, but my ethical structure is influenced most by Stoicism.
I have more flexible beliefs than Michael about the topics we discussed. For example, I do not believe most masturbation is pathological. I would probably be more judgmental if I spoke to people with these addictions 45 hours a week like him. His typical client wastes many hours a day in this activity.
Despite our different views, I am not critical of his ideas and am sure he is an effective therapist. The point of bringing this up is that you may do better under his care if you have a Christian perspective.
Footnotes:
-
SSRI antidepressants suppress sexuality and could be used as a “treatment” to suppress it. For example, taking even a single Prozac can have permanent adverse effects on libido. However, given their proven addictive, violence-inducing, and other malignant qualities, prescribing SSRIs is never ethical.
Psychiatrists who give this garbage to their patients are solely responsible for the actions of school shooters, other mass murderers, and a panoply of aberrant behaviors caused by the drugs. Check the Yandex search engine if you do not believe me. The Decades of Evidence SSRI Antidepressants Cause Mass Shootings by AMD came up first when I did.
-
Psychiatrists prescribed Lupron to castrate one of Michael’s patients chemically, and he said it “helped a little.” This is a testosterone and estrogen blocker, which means that it makes its victims feel terrible and die sooner with heart attacks and other chronic diseases.
This drug is given by injection, which qualifies the prescribing doctor for a 25 percent kickback from the drug company. If two doctors were involved, this would be a felony called “capping,” but Pharma companies, the largest lobbying group in the US legislature, must have bribed many people to make it legal. This massive financial incentive destroys doctor-patient relationships and kills any pretense of objectivity.
-
Michael says he also has two patients who were prescribed Naltrexone, and it had a minimal effect on one of them.
-
He also wrote to me, “I am not a psychiatrist, so this is all above my pay grade, both literally and figuratively.” I replied:
Don’t ever tell me that knowledge of psych drugs is out of your pay grade. It’s not hard and I will summarize the whole thing for you. Like vaccines, NONE of these drugs have had placebo controlled trials because they would have outed them as frauds. None should EVER be used—and prescribing them is unethical, for they all do far more harm than good. The shrinks are the third most corrupt specialty after pediatricians and dentists. And prescribing Lupron is a criminal act. See the “Welcome to Psych World” chapter of Butchered by “Healthcare” for more.

Today’s discussion was drawn from these notes on sex and screen addiction:
-
The tradition of prayer and meditation described below is the single best remedy available on an earthly plane for common mental health problems. Here is a description:
Michael shares his favorite art image, the ecstasy of St. Teresa of Avila:
Italian Baroque sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini captured this moment of ecstasy in what is considered one of the sculptural masterpieces of the Baroque period. The sculpture, painstakingly carved from Carrara marble, depicted the 16th-century saint stabbed in the heart by an angel holding an arrow.
Located in the Coronaro Chapel inside the Baroque church of Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome, the life-size marble was completed under Pope Innocent X between 1647 and 1652.
Parting shot #1: I just got shingles (varicella zoster)
Zoster is caused by a recurrence of a chickenpox infection that has somehow persisted in a sensory nerve root ever since. I recall my childhood chickenpox infection as a pleasant novelty, but shingles is a painful viral illness mainly affecting older people.
A one-sided, painful rash is the tipoff for the diagnosis. My zoster centers around my left shoulder. This was two days after the rash appeared:
For such an insignificant-looking rash, it hurts a lot. Magnify the red areas and examine them. It starts as these 2-millimeter pustules on the red base. These crust, dry, then heal within two to four weeks, but in about one person in five, the area may burn and remain tender for far longer. This is “post-herpetic neuralgia,” and the pain can ruin your life.
Fever, headache, and fatigue are also common. If it affects your face, you should see an ophthalmologist for antivirals, or you could go blind.
Doctors traditionally prescribe three weeks of acyclovir or other antivirals and steroids such as oral prednisone. Although these may relieve early symptoms, they do not decrease the chance of the significant issue, long-term pain.
I’m pinning my hopes for a pain-free tomorrow on a tablespoon of oral DMSO in a glass of water twice daily. Follow the links in my article HERE for references. I use 600 mg of Motrin for pain control and avoid Tylenol, which is a toxic Pharma atrocity. Aspirin does not help me.
Until the rash crusts, zoster may transmit chicken pox to others who have never had it. It does not cause other cases of shingles. There is a shingles vaccine, but if you think that is a good idea, you are a naive new reader. And the chickenpox vaccine increases the risk of getting shingles later. The following is Wikipedia, honest for once:
Multiple studies and surveillance data, at least when viewed superficially, demonstrate no consistent trends in incidence [of chicken pox] in the U.S. since the chickenpox vaccination program began in 1995.[92] However, upon closer inspection, the two studies that showed no increase in shingles incidence were conducted among populations where varicella vaccination was not as yet widespread in the community.[93][94] A later study by Patel et al. concluded that since the introduction of the chickenpox vaccine, hospitalization costs for complications of shingles increased by more than $700 million annually for those over age 60.[95] Another study by Yih et al. reported that as varicella vaccine coverage in children increased, the incidence of varicella decreased, and the occurrence of shingles among adults increased by 90%.[96] The results of a further study by Yawn et al. showed a 28% increase in shingles incidence from 1996 to 2001.[97]
Since thirty percent of us get zoster during our lives, I view it as a rite of passage. I have never had a pain-free life, and am grateful I am still around to feel it.
Parting shot #2: More on Kim Rogers, the Worm Queen
The parasite post linked immediately above inspired my great friend Kelly to do a worm cleanse using 32 mg of ivermectin for three days. He found flukes in his toilet and was convinced he got them from duck excrement on the golf course. I reminded him that his root canal had likely suppressed his parasite immunity.
He is scheduled to get the root canal replaced with a titanium implant, but I told him this was a mistake. Ceramics require more expertise to place but repel bacteria, do not create electrical currents, and are biologically inert. I referred him to David Sun, DDS, a biological dentist in Irvine, California, who has experience using this material. His number is (949) 552 0941, and I have been to his office and think he is excellent.
I first heard about worms from Christian Elliot’s post. He and his wife used Kim Rogers’s herbal cleanse, which ejected various creatures from their colons. Christian’s wife has four root canals, and they are trying to decide who should extract them.
Kim must continuously use her proprietary herbal system to suppress her pesky parasites and maintain her health. She has nine root canals that I hope she will get extracted soon. I had the feeling, however, that she DFL to me.
I know some of you are still wondering how our nice dentists could be doing this to us. Sometimes I do, too. But with all I have seen, including my wife’s life saved after her root canals were removed, I have begun to hate those ignorant fools. Root canals were discredited in the mid-20th century, but are still performed for the money. About half of Europeans and Americans have these unhealthy time bombs inside their mouths.
If you are new to this, watch the Root Cause video HERE on Rumble as your first step to learning about this, then read Judas Dentistry.
Kim kindly sent me her herbal worm removal kit, which I threw on my bed in line with the other treatments I am trying. I am doing the ivermectin three-day cure now, but so far, no squirmy things have emerged from my backside. I have taken months of chlorine dioxide, so maybe that took care of them already.
What psychiatrists do is called “medication management.” That’s the term which appears on the health insurance bill or invoice for psychiatric treatment. If you choose to see a psychiatrist, or to send someone else to one, what you’ll get is a psychiatric diagnosis and a prescription for a pharma medication indicated for that diagnosis. Psychiatric treatment is a protocol designed by a collusion of pharma, psychiatric professional groups (e.g., American Psychiatric Association) and health insurers. A psychiatrist who dares to deviate from that pharma-based treatment protocol can lose his or her medical license.
ITS SICK
I confess to being exasperated with humanity. Even many of those who saw through the Covid psy opp put implicit trust in shrinks and turn against the “crazy” family member who is too drugged, or brain damaged to think straight because some guy in a white coat has written them off as hopelessly defective criminal types.
That’s what psychiatry is about. Separating the “Criminal Types” or SMI from the Normals.
Agreed. They also support transgender surgery.
Itu2019s hard to find a decent therapist these days.
1. My self-therapy for avoiding anything that could capture and enslave me comes from my memory of an old cartoon I saw regularly in the late 1950s on TV. It was about the 3 monkeys (that is hundreds of years old in different areas of the world. One Monkey covers his eyes and says “see no evil”. Another monkey covers his ears and says, “Hear no evil”. The third monkey covers his mouth and says, “Speak no evil”. Somebody (not on the very old cartoons) portrayed a “Do no evil” with a monkey covering his/her genitals. I pay a lot of attention to “See No Evil” because anything one looks at with interest, that same person “energizes it” with one’s eyes; and as soon as it becomes an energized lifestyle addiction is already present. The only way to break it is to stop energizing it (stop looking). I remind myself near daily to stop looking (even the remembering type of looking, often called fantasy), because now I know that whatever I think about as my mind wanders, I am energizing it; so I tell myself (in my Christian background) that I have no business energizing something the Christian God hates. This has worked well for me and very quickly. When I was in first college drinking beer with dorm mates and playing cards, I would hear plenty of stories that were equivalent to fantasies. Well now I am old and I stopped doing that a long time ago. I don’t look at porn; and I certainly don’t want to listen to it; nor to I tell dirty jokes (speak no evil).
2. I worked at a Pennsylvania Camp for about 3 years, living on the grounds. There was a lot of tick “Lyme” concerns, so my wife and I got the Lyme vaccine. It took me almost 15 years to find out why it was taken off the market (but I don’t remember anymore. I believe at the same camp my wife and I got shingles shot. In the Army (1990-91) I got 23 shots in one hour pre-combat deployment, including Anthrax and smallpox that I had never had. As a school aged young kid I had about 5 years of polio shots. one by needle, one by a squirt-gun into the shoulder, one by a sugar cube. My parents had no idea that some type of cancer-fluid was in those shots.
3. What really got to me was 3 solid years of half-week fatigue followed by half-week “I feel well enough”. I did not know during my this March 2021 through about March or April 2024 that my wife had taken 4 Covid-Pfizer shots; and she was working half-time, when I was retired at home. So when we were together, within 24 hours i became fatigued and felt “less than well”; but when she went to work three days in a row (about 10 hours gone per day) I quickly felt “well enough”. I’m now married over 50 years. Though I knew she was shedding on my, I thought “what the heck”! Why leave your long-term wife, when your only symptoms are “less than well (but not sick)”. So I took all the best-I-could-find antioxidants, vitamins, N-acetyl-cysteine, R-Alpha-Lipoic-Acid, lots of Quercetin (I found on PubMed that Quercetin and NAC have “beat up” most Asian diseases, flus. I charted it and gave it to my MD (checking me for pre-Type II) and told him I didn’t need a flu shot because I was taking Quercetin and NAC. He literally blew his stack on me, lost control, and it took him a few minutes to recover. OMG, a patient tells his doctor he has a better solution than Big Pharm! I told him I would think about it for my next visit. But never took a shot then or afterward. O also changed my diet, no more candy for hypoglycemic me; no more Lays Potato Chips, and cut back on beer tremendously. I eat potatoes and home-made nanbread with hamburger for breakfast and that type of food, in small portions for every meal. Sprouts too.
4. I worked 3 years at a Charter Psychiatric Inpatient Hospital (Adults/teens), as a Psych Tech. The whole 100 hospital chain closed while I was there, because of SSRI lawsuits by family of patients who committed suicide. What I learned from RNs there was that SSRI’s “don’t work well (in the 1990s)” after about 6 months; and patients need to try a different SSRI. The same ones would come in for a week or two every 6 months. I sure wish people considering taking a SSRI knew that.
what a story!
SSRI drugs ruined my life. Got me labeled bipolar in my very early twenties.
horribly addictive and produce the very syndromes they purportedly treat
Dear Doc, I have not read this through yet, (Iu2019m behind on the other reads too) just the start of the post and then saw at the end about your shingles. So sorry to hear that but especially wanted to say boy, what an awful experience you described above, particularly about your brother. Parents can often be imperfect arses, but that part about your brother got me. So sorry. I pray your heart will heal over and thanks again for all you do.
Re zoster: High dose sodium ascorbate injections I(10 g to 350 g/kg) relieves the pain (0.5-1 g/min). Repeated at 12 hrs for 3 days kills it off.
I don’t have all the sources handy but one is https://www.seanet.com/~alexs/ascorbate/198x/smith-lh-clinical_guide_1988.htm
THANKS Kerri Rivera just told me about chlorine dioxide baths too, 100-200 activated drops, soak for 25 minutes once a day.
Regarding Shingles also frequency specific microcurrent as taught by Dr Carolyn McMakin can greatly relieve shingles. You could search to find a practitioner near you. I have a shingles protocol loaded on my personal device in case I ever need it. Her book, The Resonance Effect explains how it works. However the sooner treatment is started the better it works.
Used it for poison ivy as well
Doctor Yoho! Greetings from a huge fan and former shingles case. I contracted my case last fall, which appeared on my right thigh. I had zero herpes outbreaks since I had chicken pox when I was four or five years oldu2014Iu2019m almost 74 now. However, just recently, I was reading that an increase in Nitric Oxide can cause an outbreak. I remembered that just prior to my outbreak I was taking Super Beets which is supposed to increase your bodyu2019s Nitric Oxide. So, a possible related causation factor there.
What I used during my outbreak were paper towels soaked with witch hazel to control the itching, and food grade BHT capsules. For details, please see the BHT book below in pdf format.
https://projectwellbeing.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/BHTbook-StevenWmFowkes-200302.pdf
I experienced some general malaise at the start of the outbreak and some pain later onu2026but not so much that I needed Motrin. Perhaps the BHT at work?
Anyway, thereu2019s one more arrow for you in your Quiver of Healing.
All the continuing very best to you, sir, with my grateful thanks for your wonderful resources.
I had severe shingles in 2021, much like yours, keeping me awake all night for 3-4 weeks. It didn’t end but turned into post-herpes neuralgia, giving me pain for at least two months.
I got desperate and asked my surgery to prescribe painkillers. Luck had its funny way. The doctor forgot to send me the prescription, so I made an online search for a self-help solution. And I found this one: Essential oil from laurel leaves (the ones I use in cooking) was said to alleviate nerve (neural?) pain. I mixed several drops in a little egg cup with carrier oil (coco or argan, can’t remember exactly which one) and applied on my skin repeatedly for a couple of days. But I did not expect the result! The pain disappeared almost overnight and has not returned – even with no further use of the laurel. Has anyone else tried this I wonder?
great comment!
Thanks for your ongoing labor of love. Your disdain for psychiatry resonates. Interesting interview. I started out as a counselor with two years working with adolescent sex offenders. Glad that’s done!
this dude that I interviewed is OK
since in general that addiction problem starts with access to digital technology which is spreading the ‘resource materials’, while using the operating system of those devices, one would need to ask: WHO is having the control and monitoring over that personal access, leading to an addiction…??? How about IBF, read backwards please… And WHO is that, who hates humans so much, that making them satisfied while being utterly humiliated for few hours (!! think Viagra..), is not enough? Destroy people’s, CHILDREN’s entire life! This crime seems to be equivalent with genetic modifications of humans without their consent. Just my opinion.
I had an intractable case of pityriasis rosea all over my back for years. Nothing, and I mean, nothing got rid of it. Then I found one of those Internet “cure” ads, typical pdf for cheap. I bought it. Treatment was repeated sessions of brushing with a borax solution. It was gone after several applications. Never came back. Borax would be another interesting topic, don’t recall you covering it.
I did see: https://robertyoho.substack.com/p/289-polymath-paul-pp-introduced-me?utm_source=publication-search
Robert, I’m a huge fan and look forward to your weekly posts. Your books confirmed what I thought and have given me backing to discuss sensitive topics with my loved ones. Like you, I am a 70 year old “life-long-learner” and experiment with DMSO, CD, and supplements. I need to get back into shape. – after 2 minor falls have gotten me off track. You have inspired me with your exercise regimen. I really appreciate your candor and for sharing your experiences with all of us. All the best to you and Judy!

MIchelle Herman wrote, u201CHi! Wowu2026 I canu2019t believe you didnu2019t immediately hit the shingles with a CD sprayer or bath! Seems like it would be fastest and most effective.u201D
Kerri Rivera, the queen of clinical chlorine dioxide, said the same thing and added that the dose was 100-200 activated drops in a bath.
My only excuse is that I was sick, so I did not start the baths until 2 weeks into it. I did try the sprayer, but it hurt.

Fighting the herpes virus
If fighting shingles, cold sores, STDs, etc., do these things:
1. Colloidal Silver (CS): 8 ounces, 3xday, straight or mixed with other liquids. Or just drink CS only, but at
least 16 – 24 oz/day.
2. Add drops of food-grade hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to the CS each time just before ingestion. Add 2
drops each ingestion the first day, three drops each time the second day and keep adding another drop per
ingestion each day until you reach 10 drops. You may need to dilute the CS in extra water to lessen the
H2O2 taste. Use as much as it takes. Most Health Food stores carry food-grade hydrogen peroxide.
3. Take 3,000 mg of lysine with each meal the first day, 4,000 mg the next day, and 5,000 mg
with each meal from then on. If you can find bulk lysine powder, stir 1/2 teaspoon of the powder into any
liquid along with each meal on the first day and then one teaspoon per meal thereafter. If you can only find
capsules, make sure it is lysine only, NOT lysine mixed with other ingredients.
4. Until the shingles/cold sores are fully gone, avoid all nuts, beans, grains, and seeds. The herpes virus
absolutely LOVES chocolate and peanuts above everything else in the world. Stick with fruits, veggies,
dairy, eggs, and meats (organic if possible).
You may find that the herpes virus will stay away if you minimize those foods (nuts, etc.) and take smaller
amounts of CS and/or lysine each day.
For a bit of explanation, the herpes virus thrives on the amino acid arginine (the richest sources are nuts, beans,
grains, and seeds, in that order). However, the herpes virus cannot coexist well with the amino acid lysine.
Colloidal Silver, which kills all viruses/most bacteria, is lethal to the herpes virus.
The herpes virus is anaerobic, meaning it doesn’t like oxygen. Oxygen kills it. Hence the effectiveness of
hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).
5. Stay calm. Pray. Meditate. Sing. Rest. Stress aggravates the herpes virus.
Thanks to everyone, and please always put this sort of help in the comments so everyone can benefit!
I got shingles pretty bad in 07. Been dealing with post-herpetic neuraligia ever since. I have tried a lot of things including electroacupuncture, and several herbs. The only thing that has worked was DMSO. Good stuff.
I’m taking a tablespoon twice a day in a glass of water. Thanks! PEMF machines like the ARC Microtech also remodel tissue and do very well with pain. Here is my affiliate code for a discount. This is the cheapest one on the market, at less than $500.
ARC Microtech, a $550 PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) machine. It was initially developed for horses, but when the jockeys were exposed to it, they realized its value and started using it on themselves. The link above takes you to the human model. I bought one, and it helps my ankle pain. If you enter ROBYOH30 at the checkout when you buy yours, you will get a $37 discount.
PEMFs reduce pain and inflammation, restore mitochondrial function, and decrease fatigue. The BEMER (Bio-Electro-Magnetic-Energy-Regulation) is the most respected brand and the only PEMF that is an FDA-cleared medical device. It is also the only one that has been studied extensively, but it is ten times more expensive.
Scott told me, u201CWe have used the Microtech for more than 300 patients. We saw an 87-year-old man who had thoracic vertebral fractures and was scheduled for fusion surgery two weeks after our first visit. He got the device, and three days later, he canceled his surgery. The pain he’d had for 20 years completely resolved in three days. All he had to do was to wear the thing for three hours daily.u201D

good synopsis in general – i would also add lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) as tea, caps or even apply as cream. It grows easily in temperate climates, like a weed.
I am a bit surprised at the recommendation for 16 to 24 oz/day of straight colloidal silver (!) sounds like quite an overdose to me, and might even cause ones skin to turn grey . . .
Dr Yoho, some thoughts on shingles: If taking L-Arginine, stop. If not taking L-Lysine, start. Most important is “red marine algae” preparations (red alaskan dulse). Then selenium, N-Acetyl-Cysteine and L-Glutamine to generate Glutathione, and as much Vitamin C orally or via IV as you can get. There are a few other ideas, but those are minor. I suggest if you don’t know about Dr Frederick Klenner’s work on Vitamin C, you check him out, great work in the 1940s into 1960s, if I remember correctly. I hope this helps you, as you have helped me with your writings several times. 🙂
THANKS
I had mild cases of shingles that I stopped within 2-3 days every time using these substances and a few topicals. After a while, I realized that I was curing these bouts so quickly that my adaptive immune system did not have time to re-learn how to suppress the virus and keep it suppressed (I’m 74 and lost “young” adaptive immunity suppression around age 60 or so).
Once I figured that out, I remembered Klenner talking about how to “vaccinate” yourself against any virus. I don’t know if the term is out there, but I call it “Klenner Vaccination.”
The next time I got shingles, I let it run for a week before hitting it with the algae and so on, just using Vitamin C or a little of the algae if the pain got a little too intense, just to tamp things down slightly but not enough to cure it. Once I completed that low-level “Klenner vaccination” process that week, I have not had shingles since, or rather, I think I’ve had a couple minor pains but my immune system kicked in and eliminated the pain within 2 days without me doing anything, and since then, I have had no issues at all.
Klenner vaccination is a very powerful technique. Let the illness run, tamp down the excess peaks of trouble with a little bit of C or whatever, and the immune system will (re-)learn adaptive immunity that should be life-long.
Far better than using synthetic vaccines, because the illness does not run out of control but does run long enough for the immune system to react adaptively to the actual disease organism.
Klenner was a brilliant observer and never needed double-blind studies to learn the ropes.
Note that this does not apply to bioweapons like Covid or Lyme, which need to be shut down fast. In the case of Covid, the detritus of spikes and broken spikes will guarantee both damage and adaptive reactions, whether you shut it down fast or slow, so fast is best.
Klenner did not have to deal with bioweapons, alas for us.
I am stunned that sexual addiction is not recognized in the DSM-5. My former spouse has a sexual addiction; it facilitated the end of our marriage. He also gave me an STD.
DSM is a billing manual designed to sell drugs, not a medical reference
I get it. Iu2019m not sure why it surprises me. : (

My MD has been persistent in recommending Shingrix and pneumonia vaccines. I’m 70 & have emphysema, and respiratory infections of any kind scare the heck out of me. I finally accepted the pneumonia vaccine, but am not enthusiastic about Shingrix. That said, hearing about the experiences of those with shingles tends to lessen my resolve. I’m doing everything I can to maintain a strong immune system. Should I worry?
I enjoyed your perspective. Thank you
Knowing how bad shingles feels, your photo does not look like “an insignificant-looking rash” to me. Ouch. It is possible that the upsurge in shingles is not solely due to the varicella/chickenpox vax (which i also never had). When i got shingles i was under 60 but heavily exposed to close-range wireless radiation at the time (cellphone, wifi and in an office with multiple sources). i also kept getting “flu-ish” symptoms, but somehow knew even then it was not the “flu”.
The strength of these alien wireless signals can overwhelm or interfere with the delicate electrical signaling which regulates and orchestrates our immune system along with other bodily systems. Once i quit my use of a cellphone and severely limited my time around any wireless gear, my immune system rebounded dramatically, along with overall health and well-being. People who had met me when i was heavily exposed remarked on how “radiant” i looked when they saw me later. Yeah, i thought, because i’m not being constantly irradiated.
Hi Robert,
can you please do a test on yourself according to this video:

just check out the second part of it. It is about an increasing MAGNETISM in human bodies… It’s shocking, in my opinion, given the increasing health issues all over.
Can you say specifically, from scientific studies, if there is much of a difference in what that difference is between dopamine dosing via online green access versus reading a novel?
