Guest guest Posted February 13, 2002 Report Share Posted February 13, 2002 Has an ophthalmologist looked at his cornea with a slit-lamp to check for foreign bodies and injury? These are some articles on the exam and about corneal injury: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003880.htm http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001017.htm If he has only complained of this to the surgeon who performed the shoulder surgery, or to an internist who might be doing some general follow-up care, they would not be competent to evaluate injury to his eye.

Would the loss of eyesight be from his > eye becoming dehydrated from being held open for so long? How could he > rehydrate his eyeball? Thanks for all your ideas. Rose Rose, If it were my eyes in this condition the first thing I would do is spray very frequently with Willard Water. I would alternate this with a solution of MSM----I haven't yet tried diluting MSM IN the Willard Water---that is a future experiment. I would also take MSM internally for awhile. If someone has never taken this, then a starting dose would be 1/4 tsp in water, twice a day, adding another 1/4 tsp every few days. As I mentioned here before I use MSM dissolved in colloidal silver as an eye/nose spray for a fungal infection. If your friend's eye is infected this could be a good solution for him. However, if this protocol or any other " homemade " one did not show results in a few days, I would hie me off to an eye doctor! Another thought---age old remedy for irritated eyes is rose water. Drugstores used to stock this, don't know if it's still available there. Having used eyebright tincture in the past, I would be a bit reluctant to start with that unless very diluted. It might really irritate the existing condition, even though the ultimate result would probably be beneficial. Oh heck, I guess I'd put a tiny bit of it in Willard Water after using the WW straight for the first day or so. Hope he gets this healed!

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2002 Report Share Posted February 13, 2002 Rosemarie, Sharon & Carol both gave excellent advice. But, if the person with the problem hasn't yet gone to an opthalmologist, then, for some reason, they don't feel that is necessary. They may be right -- or wrong! And, if wrong, they won't like the consequences. So, at minimum, if the problem has lasted more than a few days, then they must see a professional! In the meantime, a dilute Schulze eyebright solution, say 2 drops/oz; willard water; both; CS water; all of them/any combo. Schulze's eyebright will get oxygen to microcapillaries (the cayenne), willard water will help hydrate better than anything else & CS is antiseptic. Do NOT use any eye solution that " gets the red out " because they cause a violent contraction of blood vessels which can cause rupture if occular pressure is high. A saline solution, if nothing else, may give some relief without irritating, if irrigation helps. A pinch of sea salt to a glass of water. These are all ideas from people who don't know enough about the situation but are giving good general information. BUT, if this person had an eye taped open for a protracted time, and we obviously don't know how dangerous that is, shouldn't they have called someone a long time ago? Really??? When you say they are going crazy, what did their doctor say to that? Doctors do have their place, their areas of excellence. I might not listen to their advice, but I would never go without their opinion! jim Rosemarie Geiger wrote: > > A friend of mine had surgery on his shoulder last week that lasted five > hours and during the operation, I don't know the reason why, they taped his > eyelids shut.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2002 Report Share Posted February 14, 2002 It seems like a lot of people recover from eye trauma given time and rest. A friend of mine got smacked in the eye with a flying bungee cord though and has lost her sight in it despite several operations. Maybe it could have been saved with some holistic techniques. Was there a post on this list about someone who had superior " glycos " than Mannatech? It would probably take me quite awhile to find the post. J.

The first thing to do would be to call the Doctor who did the surgery and ask what the proper proceedure is for something like this. I assume they tape the eyes so that the eye does not dry out or get filled with debre from lack of blinking. But over exposure to surgery lights could be an issue too and could be a serious issue. I would get professional help on this one. Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2002 Report Share Posted February 14, 2002 J It may have been me that posted that Aloe Immune was reported to me by Dean Bonlie, who invented the magnetic sleep pad I sell, to be more potent and better than the Mannatech Amrotose. I have no financial interest in it. I can't remember if this list takes attachments so will send attachment and paste into this message. This was prepared for my Canadian friends so the prices will be different. If you call the toll-free number, they will send you all the scientific information. A physician with a PSA of 286 took Aloe Immune and slept on one of my magnetic sleep pads and his PSA was normal in 4 months. Kallie copied & pasted ALOE IMMUNE Dr. Dean Bonlie, inventor of the MagnetiCo Power Sleep pad has recommended this product. This product comes from the Aloe Vera plant. It is dehydrated by a proprietary process at low temperatures, in a short time, and is not filtered. Other products are spray dried. This method stabilizes the molecule and retains the 4th chain of the molecule which other products do not. This aloe is grown in volcanic ash and contains many minerals. Dr. Ivan Danoff, a specialist in Aloe Vera says it is the best product he has seen in this line. Aloe Immune comes in two strengths and 90 capsules to a bottle - 150 mg. And 500 mg.capsules. The 150 mg bottle costs $19.95 US and the 500 mg. costs $49.95 US. plus shipping. You can call 800 807-4779, Al-Low & Associates in Texas to order and for answers to questions. Email allow@... Here are some facts I garnered while talking with Siegel on the telephone: 1.. There usually is a detox occurring. This means you could be quite fatigued, even feel like you are getting the flu. This means the Aloe Immune is helping your body to detoxify. 2.. People with arthritis usually see pain relief quite quickly. They may not see any results for two weeks and then go into detox and then feel better. 3.. The most effective way to take it for acute or serious conditions is to start with the 150 mg capsule, open it and pour half of it into 8 ounces of water and drink it slowly, letting it take time to pass through the mouth. The buccal membrane is a wonderful place of absorption. Take this six times a day. 4.. Once the detox is over and listening to your body, begin to use the 500 mg capsules. 5.. Diabetes and arthritis require 2000 mg per day until well then a maintenance serving of 500mg three times a day is suggested. 6.. For arthritic pain topical application, purchase some aloe gel and mix just a little from the 500 mg capsule in it and apply to skin over painful areas. 7.. Aloe Immune has been seen to modulate mood swings. It stabilizes blood sugars in diabetics. 8.. People zapping would find it beneficial to take Aloe Immune to modulate the immune system as they eliminate parasites. Aloe Immune and the mannose molecule cross the blood-brain barrier. People taking it for mood swings will get greater benefit if they just put a capsule between their cheek and gums as they go to bed and let it dissolve during sleep. 9.. For more information on the role of Aloe, search " glycobiology " on the web. 10.. People with cancer need to take 6, 500 mgm capsules a day. ************************** RE: Eyes It seems like a lot of people recover from eye trauma given time and rest.

Would this solution be better than H202 & CS? If so, what ratio should I use? Deanna, Probably no question about it's being " appropriate " , but whether it's " best " I don't know. For myself, if I had the same situation, I would choose the MSM without question because of it's effects on " cellular respiration " . I have never used a nebulizer so I'm really not sure how it would work in this protocol. I would also 'intuit' that MSM might be more beneficial in this case than H2O2 simply because it should be a little lower in pH than the peroxide. I'm inclined in this direction simply because so many respiratory problems are worsened when the environment of the lungs becomes too alkaline, asthma being the best example. Oh, brainstorm taking place! Just remembered the site where I first picked up this MSM/CS info: http://www.colloidalsilversolutions.com/ He has a section on nebulizing on this site, suggest you browse around it. Good luck with this! Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 My friend did go to an eye doctor before I was even able to talk to him again and tell him everyones suggestions. They gave him drops for his eye. He wouldn't use them because he said they burned so bad when he tried them the first time and didn't seem to help. I sent him to the health food store after some Willard Water and Colloidal Silver. He's been using both, as suggested and is doing much better now and says his vision is getting better and he's much more comfortable than the other day. Thank you all for your help. At least he is one who is willing to listen and try something different. I gave him ozonated olive oil for his hemroids last year and made a believer out of him. That's why he called me in the first place with the eye thing. Thanks again.
