Can apple juice keep you out of the hospital? (Cayce on Shingles)
I took a tour at a local distillery a few weeks ago. The owner said she doesn’t do much with fruit because it’s messy, and mostly makes gin (juniper berries), whiskey, vodka, etc. Last Sunday I went back, to talk to them about making a batch of apple brandy for me. The master distiller said their local supplier of apple cider has 2000 apple trees in their orchard.
While waiting for the distiller to become available, I recognized a patron, whom I hadn’t seen in a year and a half. She was there with her friend, whom I also knew, to watch the band. The older of the two (maybe around 70) had gone to the hospital twice a few months ago. The second time they sent her home with a note. When she eventually read it, she learned she’d tested positive for the Super-Virus. Fortunately, she wasn’t in bad enough shape for the hospital to need to admit her, or even tell her about the test. Hmm.
Someone figured out for her that there’s also an inflammatory type of reaction to the super-virus. While her lungs weren’t infected bad enough to warrant extreme medical treatment (with oxygen), her overall achiness was caused by the virus.
Shortly after mostly recovering from the super-virus, she developed a case of shingles. This is the re-activation of the chicken pox virus, usually in people who are stressed. She said she’d gotten the shingles jab, in years past, for whatever good that’d done.
It’d been 4.5 weeks since the shingles blisters developed, and she still had quite a bit of pain. Her doctor said to spray the painful blisters with windex with ammonia, to dry them out. Not kidding. At their meeting at the distillery, her friend had brought some of the Heritage Store’s iodine. It was a weak as I remembered it: slight brown tint indicating a little iodine might’ve been present. I said it’d be fine to use topically, but certainly wouldn’t be very potent.
I did some reading. Sometimes lysine supplements, or an all-milk diet can help viral infections, as milk has much more of the amino acid lysine than arginine (“arginine is an essential nutrient in viral replication”).
After a few days on a lysine supplement, she didn’t notice any improvement. I offered to come over to do some energy work with her. On arrival I realized I had my apple brandy barrel with me.
She noticed something from my energy work. I gave the standard advice that it takes 24-48 hours for the energies to re-adjust.
Then I told of how my mother caught RSV from my niece, and how she’d initially refused my offer of apple brandy fumes, and how I went over after 2 weeks and demonstrated the barrel. My mom had nothing to lose so she gradually worked the fumes into her lungs. After 5 minutes she said, “that’s all I can take”, then noticed that the congestion had started to clear.
My local friend also had some congestion, so I similarly offered her the apple brandy fumes. She spent a few minutes inhaling the fumes.
One of the lungs’ jobs is pulling the amino acid serotonin out of circulation: “Serotonin is also inactivated in the lungs, not through degradation, but rather through uptake and storage.” I think platelets are where the lungs store serotonin, but don’t quote me on that. The apple compounds in Apple brandy help stimulate the lungs to repair themselves, thereby helping restore the lungs ability to pull serotonin out of circulation.
When your lungs can’t store serotonin, this molecule of stress and inflammation will be floating freely in the blood and contribute to inflammation everywhere.

It came up that my friend drinks a lot of apple juice. Maybe this is why she was able to be relatively-resilient against the super-virus. (The link above says to not eat apples, but pasteurized Apple juice is fine, as the readings cautioned against eating whole raw apples with other foods.)
This was my blog post from last year about the different options for apple brandy: https://radialappliance.teslabox.com/2020/04/apple-brandy-applejack-cayce-respiratory-therapy/
Have you had shingles? What else was going on in your life when it flared up? My mom had a case 15 years ago… I think she had a lot of work-related stress at the time, which certainly made her more vulnerable.
