OT: Fish/Flax Oil and Dry Eyes

[Guest guest]

My eye doctor recommended fish and flax oil as a remedy for dry eyes to me today.I've been taking cod liver oil daily for a while and just realized that I haven't had dry eye problems for months.Plus, she said my eyes were in excellent health. In fact, the lumpiness in the vitreous (jelly) part of the eye that I used to have is gone. Probably from all the carrots I've been eating and fish oil.:>)

In any case, she said I was the fifth person with Crohn's she's seen this week.  So, I explained the theories of how one gets Crohn's to her and told her I was on this special diet that keeps me in remission, at least so far.:>)

I'm glad to have found an eye doctor who is interested in natural remedies whenever possible. Maybe she'll spread the word to her other patients. One never knows.  More evidence that the diet is working.
