dry eyes

[Guest guest]

It's my understanding that all crystals/gemstones have some kind of

power, Sally. I have two remarkable stories to tell about the

amethyst when I next get a moment - and you'll never look on amethysts

the same again!

It may be one contributing factor for some people but I do not think so in my

case . I eat a lot of carrots, squash ,yellow and red bell peppers and many more

red/orange/yellow fruits and vegetables and on top mostly raw.

Dry eyes

For those of you that said you suffered with dry eyes. I have just

read that can be caused by a Vit A deficiency.

I had dry in both eyes. That is why I went to the doctor in the first place. He

said that dry eyes are one of the symptoms of Hypothyroidism. Other symptoms

are, Dry skin, hair loss, etc. It helped me when I put cucumber on my eyes. When

I took my meds it got better. D999

Not so weird I have that problem also when I am undertreated on my

meds. I had to use special contacts and put droppers in my eyes.

I would be more inclined to suspect thyroid if both eyes were affected.

This is more likely an infection, which is easily treated. See your

doctor quickly, though. Some eye infections can lead to permanent damage.

It is my thyroid. When my thyroid is low both eyes are dry. I guess my

left eye gets dry easyer. I have been taking alot of soy out of my diet.

My thyroid stop hurting about 2 weeks ago.

When I was a child (many years ago) whenever one of us would get sick,

the first thing my mother did was get the castor oil bottle out. The castor

oil

stimulated bowel action to remove the toxins - something

people with disease should do periodically.

Hot castor oil liver packs used at least three days in a row, are said to be

a good way to stimulate and

help detox the liver. I've used them but prefer to do a good

liver/gallbladder cleanse.

hi again

Another thing I do is take that Liveraid-you can get

it at walmart the cheapest-whenever I take only 2 a

day, my liver enzymes in my bloodtests are always

good-when I ran out once, it made a difference.......I

am on 10 mg of methotrexate-if anyone is on more,

maybe you would have to take more-I am not even taking

the full recommended dose of liveraid-I think it's by

Liverite.

Do you have any thoughts about this, Bee?

==>Hi . I'm short on time right now but you can get candida

in your eyes and also candida contributes to dry eyes; do a search

on my website for Eyes where you'll find natural treatments. You

can also massage tear ducts to help unplug them. I had terrible eye

problems during my candida cure and it lastest for about 3 months.

Yes, I started having this problem when I was detoxing

more and had to stop wearing my contacts. I'm wearing

glasses nowadays so I'm not sure how well I would

tolerate contacts now, but my eyes had issues for

about four months, and now they are clearer then ever!

Thanks, Bee. I'll take a look at the articles.

And thanks for sharing your experience, Debby. Even though I KNOW I'm

supposed to expect die-off symptoms, I still feel a little like I'm

just falling apart and going cuckoo (I'm on Day 21: full diet, full

supplements, 4-6 tbs VCO p/d, Pau D'arco tea...no serious anti-fungals

yet, no probiotics yet).

It definitely helps me feel sane to hear your (and others')

experiences. Thank you for sharing.

During those four months, what kind of issues were you having in your

eyes?

==>My eyes were red and inflamed, itchy, and they oozed yellow and

green gunk. I'd wake up in the morning with my eyes stuck shut with

the gunk. I had to wash my eyes before I could open them. It was

horrible. I applied tea bags and rinsed my eyes with powdered nystatin

mixed in water. I had to stop wearing contact lenses like Debby, and I

haven't worn them since then.

[Guest guest]

Well my eyes got really bloodshot, dry and painful, to

the point where I couldn't wear my contacts. I went

to 3 different eye doctors because I hate wearing my

glasses, and none of them could figure out what was

wrong.

They gave me eye drops and ointments and nothing

worked. They told me I had scratches on my eyes, and

they said usually those healed up in a matter of days

and they couldn't understand why my eyes were having

isues.

They told me I had developed chronic dry eyes and that

I'd have to use lubricating eye drops several times a

day for the rest of my life. Well my eyes cleared up

on their own, and I don't use any eye drops or get

irritations at all, but I haven't gone back to

contacts.

I'm wearing the glasses now because later this year

I'm going to get Lasik and I don't want to risk

irritating my eyes, although the glasses drive me

nuts!

I have dry eyes. Been diagnose three times via Schrimer test (strips of paper

in your eyes). Seems to come w/ the Reiters Syndrome territory.

Hi Anne,

I had problems with my eyes earlier this year, they were sore and

bloodshot on waking. Still not sure what the issue was, but it got

better as my adrenals were treated - in my case by increasing my hydro

cortisone.
