Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 Here are replies from friends on other natural health list. Hope these helps D ~~~ In the book , " Is This Your Child " by Dr. Doris Rapp, MD she says that dark rings around your eyes is a classic overlooked symptom of food allergies. ~~~ My friend has this problem with herself and her 2 oldest children, out of 5. The first thing I thought of was Chlorophyll. It is a blood builder and good source of iron. My friend has had this since I met her 5 years ago. She just went vegan in the past few months. Her oldest 2 got shots and nursed less than the rest. They have always had the circles. She told me that if she is really consistant with the Chlorophyll the circles go away and they have more energy. Chlorophyll is really plant blood, so I figure maybe we could just eat more greens, but that costs more than the chlorophyll, Anyway, I don't have a clue as to what really causes it, but she says the Chlorophyll is working for them. My children really like the stuff! ~~~ A naturopath told us dark circles around the eyes often meant environmental allergies and candida albicans (yeast) overgrowth, if I recall correctly. I know there is a book on it as well (and I am not talking about the yeast handbook,) but rather a book called something like " Is This Your Child. " ... ~~~ This is also a very common sign of allergies, especially food allergies. It is called " allergic shiner " . ~~~ I am not sure how to spell this...but...many people in my family have Thallisimia. Which is something to do with the lack of iron in their blood. In my family it has caused all of them to have the dark circles. ~~~ I have dark circles under my eyes and have found it is improved when I have improved my diet. No Meat, sugar, etc. also my energy went up. do they have low energy? I was told liver and allergies also. I find it seems to be true. ~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
