Pink Eye

[Guest guest]

Unfortunately I am not breast feeding anymore. I had huge latching

problems (worked with three lactation consultants)so I pumped what I

could for 7 months. After that, I seemed to almost dry up.

However, I am still able to express a very small amount of milk (is

that normal?).

I did take to the doctor this morning and he said that it is

pink eye. He gave me drops and " just to make sure " an oral anti-

biotic. I asked him to make sure of what? He said he is giving the

oral antibiotics in case it has gotten to the eye lids. He gave me

some samples, I did not use any of them yet, as I think

antibiotic use at this point is a bit extreme, he is not that bad.

He is eating and in good spirits, just eyes are red and a small

amount of discharge (mostly noticed after he sleeps).

I can still express a bit - and it's been 14 months since I've nursed - I'd try

to express a little bit and just rub it on his eye.

(I still have one bottle frozen in the freezer - for emergency purposes )

Thank you. I will try. Had I known before that breastmilk has been

a successful treatment for various infections (such as eyes and

ear), I would have frozen some as well. Before delivering I was

really hoping to build a large reserve. We even bought a second

freezer for our garage that has a deep freeze section.

But never got an over-abundant supply. Hopefully next time.

ANTIBIOTICS WILL ONLY GIVE him more problems which it appears that you nkow

Here's some homeopathy info

http://www.drfeder.com/children/newborn-eyes.htm

Pink Eye in Babies and Beyond

by Feder, M.D.

My daughter was given eye drops after birth which caused an infection and

goopy eyes. Is there homeopathic medicine that can be used to treat eye

infections in babies?

This is one of the frequent inquiries I receive from concerned parents in

my office and on my website. Fortunately, most mild cases of conjunctivitis

in babies can be treated with homeopathy and a few simple home remedies.

Conjunctivitis (pink eye) is a common complaint in babies and children and

can be caused by bacteria, virus, allergy, foreign body, blocked tear duct,

or trauma. The term implies an inflammation of the conjunctiva (the mucous

membrane that lines the inner surface of the eyelids and eyeball), when

inflamed it appears 'pink.' The bacterial and viral infections are highly

contagious. Signs and symptoms include red bloodshot eyes, tearing,

swelling and inflammation of the eyelids, yellow-green discharge and

sensitivity to light.

Blocked Tear Ducts

Plugged tear ducts occur in 6 percent of all babies and can be a problem up

to one year of age. It can affect one or both eyes. By three to four weeks

of age a newborns' eyes begin to tear. Normally, tears drain from the tiny

tear ducts located at the inside corners of the eyes into the nose. A thin

membrane covers the duct, and usually opens after birth. The blockage

occurs when the membrane fails to fully open, and tears become backed up.

The condition can recur, though usually by six month of age the duct stays

open. In standard medical practice, persistent conditions are treated with

a minor office procedure using a wire probe, however, some may require

surgery. Common symptoms of blocked tear ducts range from persistent

tearing and can lead to infection with redness and discharge.

Infections in Newborns

Ophthalmia neonatorum is an infection of the eye in newborns which is

contracted from an infected mother's birth canal. The sexually transmitted

diseases (STD), gonorrhea and chlamydia, are usually the cause. In most

cases, there is an inflammation of the eyelid and cornea which appear

within two or three days after birth. Gonorrhea has been known to cause

blindness, conjunctivitis and other infections.

In most medical facilities, preventive eye treatment for newborns is placed

in baby's eyes after birth. Erythromycin ointment is the current medicine

of choice. In the past, silver nitrate was used. In most states, routine

eye prophylaxis whether delivery is vaginal or caesarian is required by

law. The antibiotic ointment is considered harmless by the medical

profession. However, many parents in my office practice refuse eye

treatment. Some of the more common reasons include no known history of

gonorrhea and other STD's, the adverse effects from antibiotics, and

blurring of baby's vision.

Current research suggests that routine use of antibiotics to prevent eye

infections in newborns may not be necessary. A clinical trial sponsored by

the National Eye Institute was done to compare the effectiveness of silver

nitrate drops, erythromycin ointment, or no medication in preventing eye

infections. In the trial, the rate of eye infections in newborns was

similar in both groups. It was concluded that no eye treatment was

reasonable for women who tested negative for sexually transmitted diseases

while pregnant.

The ointment can cause baby's eyes to be red or swollen. Silver-nitrate

drops were discontinued because it irritated babys' eyes. The antibiotic

ointment occasionally causes infection with the characteristic 'goopy

eyes'. In addition, the ointment can blur baby's vision, which can impede

the bonding between parents and baby. For parents who have chosen to have

the eye drops, administration of the ointment can be delayed an hour or

more in most medical settings.

Homeopathic Remedies

Two-month old Alec was brought into the office by his mother who was

worried about his constant leaking of his right eye. She had tried eye

massage, and breast milk 'eyedrops' to no avail. His eye was beginning to

become inflamed and he woke up for several mornings with crusty eyes.

During the consultation, mom reported that he was constipated for days at a

time, and sweat while nursing and during sleep. was gaining weight

remarkably and life in the family was going smoothly. Compared to her older

son, mom boasted that Alec was able to occupy himself with excellent focus.

was prescribed Calcarea carbonicum once a day for 3 days, and within a

week his eye infection, and the constipation had cleared There are many

choices of remedies that can be used for stricture of the lachrymal duct.

Calcarea carbonicum matched the totality of Alec's symptoms. Calcarea

carbonicum babies are large, sweat easily and prone to constipation. They

are independent, stubborn and can play on their own with deep concentration.

, 3 months old, woke up suddenly in the middle of the night

screaming with a high fever. His face was beet red and his right eye was

bloodshot. His parents noted that he was unusually sensitive to light,

noise and being touched. On examination, his right eardrum and eye were

inflamed. In addition, the eyelids were swollen and the pupils were

dilated. was given Belladonna. Belladonna is associated with

acute sudden onset of intense symptoms.

Homeopathic Treatment for Conjunctivitis:

* Calcarea carbonicum

Calcarea carbonicum babies are large, sweat easily and prone to

constipation. They are independent, stubborn and can play on their own with

deep concentration.

* Belladonna

Belladonna is associated with acute sudden onset of intense symptoms.

Extreme heat, dilated pupils and hypersensitivity are characteristic of

Belladonna. It is also considered a strong remedy for right sided conditions.

* Pulsatilla

Pulsatilla is useful for pink eye with lots of yellow-green

discharge. It is thick and bland. The characteristic Pulsatilla mood is

weepy, whiney, clingy. There is a desire for open air and rich food (which

can also make them worse).

* Apis mellifica

Apis mellifica is known for conjunctivitis with great puffiness and

redness of the eyelids. The eyes sting and burn. The condition feels better

with cold compress.

* Silica

Silica is known to be helpful for infection of tear duct or blocked

tear duct of newborns. There can be a history of frequent colds and flus

with swollen glands. The inflammation is often accompanied with sensitivity

to light. This remedy is also useful for styes.

Home Treatment

o Wash eye with cool water using washcloth three times a day.

o Warm teabag compresses on each eye (chamomile is a favorite)

o Euphrasia (Eyebright) eye drops several times a day

o Eye Massage for blocked tear ducts can open the membrane.

Locate the tear duct in the inner corner of each eye. Gently massage in an

upward direction toward the nose for one minute. Do this several times per

day.

o Breast milk. For generations, mothers have been known to squirt

breast milk in baby's eyes, as well as nose. It works!

Many patients come to my office looking for a homeopathic remedy that

is natural and safe without any side effects. Mild pink eye symptoms

respond well to homeopathic treatment. In the DrFeder.com Natural Pharmacy

we are pleased to feature a wide selection of homeopathic remedies. Most of

them are in a 30C strength which is suitable for both children and adults.

To order a remedy in a different strength or inquire about a remedy that

isn't listed, please contact us. We'll find it for you!

For chronic conditions, I recommend constitutional homeopathic

treatment, in which a homeopathic remedy is chosen by a trained homeopath

after a lengthy interview. This method can be very effective for the

long-term resolution of chronic conditions. >

*************

For an infant, just dissolve and then put a little of the solution in their

mouth

Administering Remedies

Generally I suggest you use 30C, unless treating a family member very

elderly and in a very weakened state (then use lower potencies) or if

treating a family member with a lot of pathology (ie cancer - then use

lower potencies). Otherwise 30C should be fine for minor acutes and first

aid, but may have to repeat more frequently. Do not treat for chronic or

recurring things on your own or with 30C.

Don't always have to treat. Sometimes just allow body to deal with it if

possible.

Find a remedy if symptoms:

1. severe, violent

2. likely to cause worse problems

3. stuck

4. very painful

5. to help move things along if going too slowly

DO NOT go by what is on the bottle (heaven only knows why fda or whatever

makes them say that stuff)

A. You can give just a dry pillule, but it appears to work better to give

in water (aqueous solution) and be able to succuss it between doses - but

in a pinch, give as dry.

(for an infant crush if possible or just put in a little water in a cup and

let melt and then give.)

B. BEST to give as an aqueous solution - one pillule in water

1. Put one pillule or tablet in 6 oz of water (use purified, filtered

water if possible) in a water bottle (or cup if you don't have - use

disposable plastic cup)

2. Let dissolve or sit for at least 5 minutes (the remedy coats the

pillule which is sucrose or the tablet which is lactose)

3. Shake just a little. (if cup, stir with a plastic spoon)

4. Take one teaspoon out of water bottle and give to the person. Wait.

5. You basically give 1 dose of 1 remedy and wait........

a. If improvement, don't give anymore

b. If improvement and then same symptoms come back - give another dose of

same

1. to give another dose, take the water bottle you have and succuss it -

this is strong downward thrusts from about 2 feet up - like a judge hitting

a gavel

do this 10 times on a book or something (you are succussing to slight

raise the potency of what you have started with - it seems that the VF does

better with a little higher potency each time, than the same potency

2. give another teaspoon out of this

3. if using a cup and not a water bottle - better to use water bottle

though - stir briskly 10 times and give one teaspon

c. If improvement and new symptoms that are really a problem and body can't

deal with itself - research and find what the new remedy should be

(will sometimes use one remedy and shift things and then need a different

to finish up)

d. If no improvement on one dose, repeat in 20-30 minutes (if using 30C),

can

do this 3 or 4 times

if no improvement after that probably wrong remedy

Improvement you may see first is in mental/emotional symptoms, or sleep, or

general well being, or thirst or appetite - then the physical symptoms

may improve later If you are using 6X or something, may have to repeat

oftener than a 30 C asthe energy 'gets used up' in a way.

6. If you get near the end of the bottle, keep at least one teaspoon in

there and add 6 ozs more of water to keep it going, as you have been

raising the potency each time and don't want to start over. Mostly you

will never get to this point as you will only be repeating 3 or 4 times.

don't need to refrigerate unless keeping overnight and usually this will

not be the case.

7. Throw all away at the end.

Try collodial silver. Make sure you get a good quality brand and use a

couple of drops a few times a day. Gold probably has the same properties

and qualities as silver and that's why the ring would work.

What is liquid silver

[Guest guest]

It is a natural antibiotic you can purchase at the Health Food Stores. Well worth having around the home for medicinal purposes. My Daughters wouldn't be without it!rdavis900@... wrote: What is liquid silver

Hi Steph--

My daughter just went through a bout of this same thing.....check out the

Steph,

You were smart to discontinue the Visine. Last year a friend was using it

to treat pink eye and when she went to her eye doctor a few days later he

told her that in some cases people have gone permanently blind from using

Visine to treat pink eye.

If you go to the files section at the group website there is a folder called

" Treatments " Within that there is a file on Eye Treatments with lost of

ideas for treating pink eye or other irritations.

Nell,

I just had a really bad eye thing. Not sure if it was pink eye but it

felt like it. My girlfriend is an herbalist and she made a tea of

chickweed, then wrapped the leaves in cheesecloth. Then she soaked

the whole thing for a minute in the tea. I put it on my eye for 10

minutes or so, dipping it back in the tea occasionally. She

recommends doing that at least 3 times a day, but preferably several

times. My inflammation went away within a couple of days. The

chickweed pulls out infection. It's also really soothing and takes

some of the pain away for a while. Of course, make sure it's not so

hot that it burns. Good luck!

> Is there any really good natural remedies I can use instead?

>

> Nell

>

[Guest guest]

My girlfriend wanted to make sure I posted the fact that it's

important to throw the poultice away after each use so you won't

re-infect the eye. Also be careful not to put it on the other eye if

it's not infected. And, duh... wrap the chickweed in cheesecloth

before making the tea.

==>Hi Nell. Your son may not have bacterial pink eye; he may have

candida in his eyes or his body may be detoxifying through his eyes

like mine did. Also the eyes can turn quite red in some people when

they eat anything off the diet, particularly sugar. In 1986 there was

a guy in my candida support group who cheated eating donuts, which

immediately made his eye flaming red. His wife always knew when he

cheated. LOL!

Yes, you can use good natural remedies instead of antibiotics; they are

so much better and more effective too. First please ensure his diet is

good, and then use one of the Eye Treatments in his article:

Ahhhh, okay. He did have a couple cheats this weekend with his

Grandparents and maybe that is what's going on. He also started potty

training and I thought maybe he didn't wash his hands well

enough...but, your theory could be what's going on. He also sounds a

little stuffy and as soon as he woke up he said " my mouth hurts, i

need medicine. " I couldn't see anything in his mouth or throat, but

he did complain.

I'll check out the rememdy you have on file...thank you.

==>Do not be concerned about him not washing his hands; no one

can " catch " germs, bacteria, viruses, since the body itself creates

them when they are needed in order to detoxify or clean up the body -

see these articles on the Germ Theory of Disease being false:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu5_3_1.php

I think his cheats caused the problem, and his stuffiness and sore

throat are also evidence of his body having more toxins it needs to

get rid of. Those are all detox symptoms since his cheating made the

candida grow more.

Hi ,

I tried to let mine run its course, but finally got irritated. Tried to

self-treat homeopathically, but didn't quite work. I finally called a

homeopath and she suggested a remedy. The pink eye was gone in 2 days.

If you don't know a homeopath, maybe Sheri on this list could help you?

Good luck,

Hi !

I remember reading just a few months ago about pink eye in babies.

Believe it or not, if your newborn catches it they recommended a few

drops of breastmilk in the eyes!!

I got pink eye MANY times as a kid. I always just rode it out. If I recall

correctly, mine

would last maybe 2 days, switch to the other eye for maybe 2 days. Then I'd be

better.

IMO no need to go to the dr. My mom took me the first time or two I had it and

I got eye

drops. I don't recall those drops shortening the duration. If they did, it

couldn't have

been by much.

If you are lactating, breast milk squirted right in the eye (maybe you

will have to put it in a dropper first) should clear pink eye right up!

It may take a couple of applications, though.
