Question: from Terry<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

I read with great interest your reply to the question about Vitamin D preventing\u00a0Cancer<\/a>. Specifically your reply: \u201cIn other words it is not a matter of taking mega doses of Vitamin D but rather ensuring that you don\u2019t have a deficiency. Remember that most cancers are due to a nutrient deficiency!\u201d<\/p>\n

Can this same principle apply to other conditions?<\/p>\n

The current issue of Prevention Magazine has \u2019suggestions\/advertisements\u2019 to be vaccinated (when you turn 60 years old) with Zostavax to prevent shingles and postherpetic\u00a0Neuralgia<\/a>. Apparently, \u201c1 in 4 people who have had chickenpox eventually develops the blistering rash of shingles – caused when the chickenpox virus, Varicella zoster\u201d is reactivated. 40% will go on to suffer what\u2019s been described as the worst kind of pain imaginable. Called postherpetic\u00a0Neuralgia<\/a>\u00a0(PHN) it is so agonizing that it\u2019s been known to lead some people to suicide.\u201d<\/p>\n

Back to my question, can a nutritional deficiency be a factor here, and if not, is this \u2019scare tactics\u2019 by pharmaceuticals?<\/p>\n
