Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 My son has/had the same thing!! He began his fevers at nine months, but first they thought it was Kawasaki, then systemic JRA, now they say viral. LOL We start a new rheumi on January 31 needless to say. Anyway, I was always told that his tear ducts were unrelated, but I always wondered. They probed both eyes. One is better, but one is still not right. He blinks it heavily and if he has a fever or cold then that eye reacts first. I recently took him to the eye doctor and he prescribed patanol because he said that he has allergy pockets in his eyes and that is why he is blinking so heavily. I always wondered if it was related so your email definitely intrigued me. Mom to 3 --- COOKIE ROBERTSON <cookierob@...> wrote: > Does any one elses child have a ? blocked tear duct > or > weepy eye?

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 The skin is a reflection of your internal organs and how healthy or unhealthy they are. The skin is kind of like a mirror of what=s happening in the deep layers of the body. If your internal detoxification organs (intestine, liver, kidneys) are working properly and doing their daily job of detoxification and they are not overburdened (congested), then the skin will feel soft, and look beautiful. The skin is the largest elimination organ, and it'll take over the burden of elimination when you are out of balance internally - when your detoxification organs are congested and cannot do their job, specifically the intestinal tract, liver, and kidneys. When the body is out of balance, it=s prone to a lot of physical problems, for instance skin problems. People with healthy immune systems, good digestion, and ample nutrition live relatively free of physical discomfort. When the liver is congested and cannot perform its eliminative function, waste matter (toxins) is thrown into the blood stream. Toxic blood must discharge its toxins, so nature uses vicarious avenues of elimination or substitutes. The lungs, therefore, will take over the task of eliminating some of the wastes that should have gone through the kidneys, or the skin will take over for the liver. If the bile poisons in the blood come out through the skin, we get the various irritations of the skin, such as boils, carbuncles, acne, etc. Thus, the skin is substituting for the liver, or a vicarious elimination is occurring through the skin. The best cure for your skin is to eat the best diet and get your detox system working better by adding whole food supplements to support the internal organs. By supporting the immune system, supporting the digestive tract, and supplementing micronutrients and antioxidants, it will really benefit people suffering from any type of physical discomfort. And if we don=t improve the immune system, digestion, and overall nutrition, even going to a doctor with medical intervention won=t achieve the results you want, since doctors normally just treat the symptoms. Keep in mind that the skin is the largest elimination organ and whatever the body is trying to eliminate through the skin, you just have to let it happen and not cover the symptoms with medications. When you understand the relationship between nutrition and health, you can understand that the miracle of healing lies in your body, and all that you have to do is eat well and consume the foundation of probiotics, enzymes, and micronutritents, and I=m sure you=ll see your skin becoming radiant and healthy looking.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Hi! What type of coconut oil do you use? The common coconut cooking oil (RBD coconut oil) may not be advisable for that because it may contain some amount of residues from its chemical processing, that contribute to the irritation. Try using a high quality of virgin coconut oil, with very low free fatty acid content (less than 0.1%). I use it occassionally to relieve eye redness and incipient infection - the slight irritation is tolerable.

I clicked the link that you provided about the pictures, the page is not found. Is there any other link to that site? Thanks. > I have a different view on this. IF you were having a skin elimnation of toxins going on, it would normally affect a whole lot more areas of the body than just around your eyes. In fact, that would be an area not particularly likely to be affected because the skin mostly eliminates toxins through the oil glands and the eyelids and skin immediately around the eyes doesn't have very many oil glands. So I would suspect a contact reaction first. A wild possibility is that you could have an incipient eye infection or sinus or ear infection, and be reacting to the infectious agent. But first you might want to check any eye products you are using, anything you wash your face with, shampoos, rinses, that sort of thing. If nothing was found there, I'd personally go on to check literally everything in my diet and environment. Have you changed detergents? Added a new fabric rinse? (as in something new in washcloths, pillowcases, and so on) .Added a new food or new food product? While I do believe the skin is an elimination route for toxins, my personal experience of decades is that eczema is an allergic/histamine reaction. When I get it, it is either an contact reaction, or a reaction to something I've ingested. Try taking some antihistamines and see if that helps. Or apply some OTC cortisone cream, if you can find one safe for the eye area. If you find and eliminate an allergen or chemical sensitivity, the next step is to find out why you have allergies. As in, thyroid problems, adrenal problems, candidiasis, etc. my experience only, YMMV sol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 My eye lid droops so much that at times I have to open my eyes real wide just to see out of my right eye. However in the crease which is caused by this, my eye has little bumps on the skin on the right side. Allergy of some kind I am sure. But, I am someone who does not run to a doctor for everything. I put a hot wash rag with ivory soap on it [because there are not a lot of added chemicals in ivory soap] -- and then a cold rinsed wash rag in order to get the blood flow to increase to the area. After thoroughly cleansing the area -- then I can put something on it to help it heal. thea --------- Forwarded message ---------- From: " esterlee_16 " <esterlee_16@...> Coconut Oil Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2007 01:12:31 -0000 Subject: Eye problem Message-ID: <fb2h5v+5va6egroups> Hey everyone, I have eczema around my eyes and I am currently applying coconut oil on it.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Hi Carol, Thank you for the reply. I really appreciate the clear and concise explanation. I have just recently changed everything I use to organic, including my toiletries, my diet and skin care. Some eczema on parts of my body got better, but my back which don't usually have eczema, starts getting dryer. The part around eye is fine today but it often comes back without a warning. I also just started taking spirulina to supplement my diet. Ester > > The skin is a reflection of your internal organs and how healthy or > unhealthy they are.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Hi Sol I started having eczema when I was very young, I don't even remember when it started. So I doubt it is due to allergic reactions. I used to use conventional shampoo, skin care and other skin products but have changed over to organic about a month ago. I have not changed anything, except for switching my diet and all my skin care products to organic. I will try out some antihistamines you suggested and see if it works check if I have some of the problems you listed. Thank You very much for the help. Ester > > Hi Carol!

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Of course a doctor will tell you diet does not affect anything - they want to sell you more drugs, which your derm did. The steroid foam will work in covering up the problem for a while (she's treating the symptom) - but in the long run, you have to get to the root of the problem or else you will keep having problems (doctors don't seem to know how to find out the " cause " of a problem). The medical field treats " parts " of your body, instead of the whole. I was giving you tips on how to treat the " whole " body - make sure everything " internally " is working properly, and the rest just falls into place.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I don't know what " steroid foam " is, but when my son was an infant and young child, steroid creams made his eczema worse (filler ingredient sensitivity?) So did Ivory soap, which made his hands swell up and blister. I don't believe Ivory is as " pure " as the advertising would have us believe. sol Carol Minnick wrote: > Of course a doctor will tell you diet does not affect anything - they want > to sell you more drugs, which your derm did.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 All the soaps and shampoos have new and harsher ingredients in them. I've compared my last batch of shampoo (which I had been using for 10 years)to the new one I bought. Not reaction to the old stuff; a severe allergic reaction to the new stuff. You tell me why they've even put this new chemical in? Money, money, money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has been having trouble for years with her eyes. Her vision is good but she gets a feeling like she has sand in her eyes and lately even blinking is painful. I feel bad for her but we live miles apart so I can't help much. Apart from eye baths, is there anything else I can suggest to her to ease her discomfort?

She would be wise to get healthy so her body can detoxify like it should since many people on this program, including myself, have cured it. In the meantime she can massage her tear ducts to help unplug them, and also do eye treatments as suggested in this article: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/treat9.php All the best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
