I just read your post and then looked up what foods to avoid regarding shingles. One of the posts went on to list everything that one might consider healthy....so hard to know sometimes what to think and do.
It might be that the amount, or raw vs cooked, or a supplement vs raw.
I have had three bouts of shingles in the last 20 years, mild and no other symptom other than visual blisters a mild pain. Last bout 2021. I finally took the shingle vaccine in 2023. I have taken garlic supplements all my adult life and have cooked with it as well.
We are all different but it might be how we are taking the garlic.???

Yes !
I am still trying to find out if there is a connection to raw garlic (which is what I was eating every day) to the arginine, in raw garlic that can activate the singles virus!
I did have both of the vaccines for shingles and I still got shingles. I want to do everything I can to help myself and it is very frustrating to be afraid to take something that may be harmful. I have not taken any raw garlic for nine months because I am still looking for proof of what to do. thank you
