DEAR SUN SPOTS: The cure for shingles is cider vinegar. I had shingles for a whole month. I tried all medications to get rid of the pain. None worked well. I read in the book, “Folk Medicine,” by Dr. D. C. Jarvis about applying cider vinegar on shingles. I tried it and was healed. — Healed in Lewiston.

RESPONSE: Sun Spots cannot offer medical advice. While Sun Spots is glad that your suffering from shingles is over, we cannot say that cider vinegar was the cure. There are too many variables to say that this treatment will work on others, too. But thank you for sharing your experience. People should discuss this treatment with their doctors.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: You are the reason I buy or borrow a Sun Journal every day! You have provided this information before, but I’ve misplaced my copy of your column, and it might also have been outdated, so can you as soon as possible repeat your list of organizations who need the picture portions of used greeting cards, and recycle them for making other items? I’ve been weeding out paper and have quite a few to give so would appreciate an up-to-date list if you have one. Thank you for your extremely useful column in the paper. Happy holidays to you and your extended family. — Virginia in South Paris.
