8. I think that also taking anti-inflammatories (like CBD, turmeric and garlic) would be beneficial

Garlic has the additional benefit of being a natural antibiotic. I'm convinced that my habit of daily doses of turmeric and garlic greatly mitigated the case of Shingles I had, in 2017. Yea, it was INCREDIBLY uncomfortable but never really painful, the rash was limited and start to finish was just a few weeks.

I added CBD to this routine, just this year.

Admittedly, I worry about these new drugs, both on a basis of cost and side effects.
