Abstract

Objective: To improve patients' postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) symptoms using Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT). Methods: A Korean woman in her forties suffering from neuralgia due to herpes zoster was treated with OCNT for approximately six months. Results: After initiating OCNT, the patient gradually experienced reduced neuralgia symptoms in the chest, flank, and back areas. Approximately six months later, she no longer felt discomfort from these symptoms. Conclusion: OCNT can be beneficial in alleviating symptoms of neuralgia in patients suffering from PHN.
