I have this symptom. I think that, for me, it is related to allergen

exposure (mold, dust, pollen), and fatigue.

Hi Jen

Strange you mention the leaky eyes as I don't recall it being mentioned much

before.

besides all the usual side -effects I have experienced in the last more than

2 years , the one thing that is always bothering me is my leaking eyes.

Especially my left eye. Dripping , puss , styes. I attempted another round

of 3mg ALA and just finished it yesterday. (Feel rather well today with no

side effects. A huge victory for me after having tried to use ALA for more

than a year and not succeeding) However on this round I yawned alot and thus

alot more and excessive eye drippings (no styes this time thank goodness.)

I have been wearing contact lenses for more than 20 years. Themiserol was

used for many years in the Saline Solution without me knowing. I just assume

that all that themiserol is whats causing all these eye 'things'. Hopefully

with enough ALA rounds, I hope to clear my eyes.

Do you perhaps wear or have worn contact lenses ?

Did you or do you use anything that you put in your eyes regularly eg. eye

drops, saline solution, etc

I would be interested to find another connection perhaps. As you mention, I

do believe there is a liver connection as well.

FOr me a sty in my eye meant a staph infection which I am

prone to . I put homeopathic staphylococcus aureus on my eye

and it went away in a couple of days. Also boils vanish very

soon with the homeopathic

.. Still working on the staph infection in my salivary gland//

Have tried tea trea oil. upping my vitamin A, a short course

of oil pulling, herbs like goldenseal.

The infection in my left salivary gland went away on my

first/ second? course of DMSA with frequent dose a few years

ago when I was doing too high a dose. That seems too much of a

coincidence so am hoping the other one which I have had for 20?

years .All specialists wonder that it has not abscessed.SO just

one of those weird things.. eh?? Have been on antibiotics around

6 times.. came back in a week or less.

Initially tried swishing my mouth with ALA and noticed some

improvement maybe? but worried about the acid part of it and

how that would affect teeth enamel.. Any suggestions greatly

appreciated..

Jen,

Sounds like you could have a blocked tear duct in the one eye or

possibly dry eye syndrome. Oddly enough dry eyes cause tearing, as the

eye tries to make up for loss of tear film. The blocked tear duct would

need to be looked at by an ophthalmologist or you could try natural

tears over the counter for dry eyes. Many of the drops are preservative

free and they are basically a saline solution much like the natural

tears your eye produces. Just don't buy a product that says, " Gets the

red out " , as this will not help you and probably make things worse.

Both of these conditions (if you have either one of them) are fairly

common. (I work for an ophthalmologist). Hope this helps.

Jen,

When I am chelating (dmps 12.5 mg every 8 hours), I often experience

one weepy eye. Not nearly as high volume as what you describe but

very persistent. I wonder if this is not related in some way to a

cell wall permeability issue or electrolyte imbalance in the cells,

not uncommon in HG toxic folks.

Hello again Jen,

See the bottom of the second column in this article in Journal of

American nursing re glucocorticoids (cortisol - for example) stress

and electrolyte balance/cell wall permeability...

http://www.jstor.org/pss/3462535.

This is only one page of several but it touches on some interesting

issues. Our resident biochemist Andy Cutler may be the best resource

on this issue but I think his attention is wholly focused elsewhere at

the moment.

Thanks for the responses, All. I thought of dry eye but I don't have

any irritation at all. They feel totally normal, they just start

leaking. It's at about the same rate at if I were crying, so it's

pretty funny because I'm riding through the park with tears running

down my cheek. I feel like it's definitely linked to toxicity or as

you say here, Doug, some sort of electrolyte imbalance. I couldn't

get the link to work.

I doubt it's anything to be concerned about, but thought I'd ask, as,

if it is a known deficiency, I could get whatever was needed on board.
