Pink Eye

[Guest guest]

Again, Winnie ;-)

It has to match the symptom picture, not the name of the condition.

Find someone who breastfeeds, if you can, and ask for---literally---a

few drops. We cured ours here with two applications of fresh milk.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I am not sure why I didn't even

think of breastmilk...I have used it in the eyes of my babies for

infected blocked tear ducts in the past. It never occurred to me to

use it in my own eyes or my older child's eyes though. Amazing

stuff!! I'm sure it will work.

You are correct. I just usually look to pulsatilla first because it's worked for

my kids (and dog!) for a number of things.

+++Hi Rhonda. I understand how you feel since I detoxified through

my eyes for 3 months when I did my candida program.

Some people get very pink, even red, eyes if they eat anything not on

the diet list. There wasa guy in my candida support group in 1987

who would cheat. His wife and everyone else knew immediately since

his eyes were a fiery red.

gave a very good suggestion to use chickweed. Also see Eye

Hi Dawn,

I just checked Bee's website and you are doing the right things with the tea

compresses etc. I would just keep up what you are doing. Breast milk and

coconut oil are also good.

Can you explain to your husband that Tylenol is just another chemical that she

will need to detoxify? If she is not really in pain, then Tylenol isn't going

to do anything for her anyway.

It seems it is already getting better on its own if she is getting less goop

today.

Hang in there!

wash away any breastmilk or oil I try to get in there. She had really thick

green goop coming out yesterday, with just a little bit today. My husband is

going Tylenol crazy with her (Nothing I can do). I am fearing he will push for

antibiotics soon. If there's anything else I can do...

The more I try to educate him, the more pushy he is with the carbs/fruit and

meds. I already snapped at him once this weekend regarding my daughter. I find

it best to do all I can and just limit the " Dad " treatments as much as possible.

I keep trying to get her on the diet, but it is almost impossible with her

resistance and dad's. It really is frustrating and I so wish we could do this as

a family, but some people will never question what they have always accepted as

true.

I hope the compresses will help her. I keep wondering what she is detoxing so

heavily through her eyes. She recently started pre-k, and I wonder if their

super clean environment is at fault. They use some pretty powerful cleaners, I

would imagine anyway.

Thanks for the encouragement,

Dawn

Hi Dawn,

I recently helped my sister with her baby's pink eye. If I can remember

correctly, she washed her eye with a cotton ball soaked in a mixture of 1/2 tsp

vitamin crystals, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp Epsom salt dissolved in 1 cup warm

filtered water. Wipe/wash the eye 4 times a day. She said it worked to take

the pink color out in the first couple days and then the discharge went away

shortly after.

Also, just a side note. . . we have been taught that pink eye is horribly

contagious, and I wanted to put the germ theory to the test so I took my finger

and wiped it through my niece's pink eye and rubbed it into mine. Sounds gross

I know. But I did not get pink eye! I guess it's not so contagious after all.

Good luck.

My sister reminded me this morning that there was not Epsom salt in the wash for

her baby's eye, although I don't think it would harm her as I always put Epsom

salt in my baby's baths and wash his face and hair with the bath water.

Thanks . My daughter's look so much better this am Bahrain has a little red

in one eye and no goop. BUT, I may try your recipe on me bc I woke up with runny

eyes with some crust. I threw some CLO in my eye last night, but will definitely

do some washes today. I didn't purposely wipe anything in my eye, but I wasn't

neurotic about washing my immediately after. Who knows? I did wish that I could

take her place, so maybe that's what did it!

Thanks for the input!

Thanks Pamela,

I've read about using boric acid, but I've never used it before so I didn't give

it a go. If mine doesn't improve by tonight, I may need to go find some. I just

soaked with 's mix and that felt good.

Thanks so much,

Dawn

> I do know how to cure pink eye.  You need to buy boric acid from the drug

store.  Boil water and in an 8 ounce glass of boiled water put a tablespoon of

boric acid.  Stir and let cool.  take the cooled water mixture and a washrag and

douse your eye with it 3 times a day.  Mine usually always heals within 24 hours

this way.  Boric acid will not burn your eyes and is a common over the counter

mix sold at the store.   I got this recipe out of a book called Home Remedies

for Candida.

Hi Dawn and Pamela,

Boric acid is poisonous. Here are some articles on the subject from Bee's

website.

+++Hi Dawn,

Pink eye is caused by toxins coming out through eyes. During my candida program

in the late 1980s I detoxified through my eyes for 3 months, with all kinds of

goop like you describe.

Also there was guy in my candida support group back then, whose eyes turned a

bright red whenever he cheated. It was like neon lights flashing " I cheated " to

everyone, including his wife. lol!

Tylenol is a pain killer so it wouldn't be used for pink eye anyway.

Like suggested just use tea compresses which are very soothing, however

your daughter's eyes just need to finish detoxifying themselves and not have any

interferences or more toxins like Tylenol.

All the best, Bee

+++Hi Dawn,

As I wrote this morning, eyes need to detoxify too, like many areas of the body,

so there are no quick fixes. I detoxified through my eyes for 3 months when I

did my candida program in the 1980s.

It is best to let Nature take its course and allow your body to do the

detoxifying it needs to, without interference. Tea compresses help sooth your

eyes, but healing comes from within, so when your body finishes detoxifying

through your eyes it will stop.

All the best, Bee

+++Hi Pamela,

Please do not make recommendations like that. Boric acid should not be used for

treating any area of the body - see this:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/mn4.php

There are no quick fixes for pink eye, which is simply toxins coming out through

the eyes, so please read my replies to messages about it that I wrote this

morning. I'm off every Tuesday to do research, write articles, etc.

My daughter has been sick with cold symptoms for about 4 days and yesterday her

right eye got very goopy and red. I'm assuming it's bacterial and will need

antibiotic eye drops. Is there anything that's more natural I can start her on

today before we get into the doctor tomorrow?

Also, I started her on OLE this week and am wondering if it's a coincidence that

she now has the eye infection or if the OLE could have stirred anything up. Has

anyone experienced this before?

Thanks for your help.

When I started OLE here to help address viruses, it caused a major yeast

overgrowth problem as the viruses were dying off. Try increasing the yeast

protocol, see if that helps.

She may not tolerate the OLE, is the skin on her face really dry? Try removing

it and see if that helps.

I use Simulsan pink eye relief drops. It's homeopathic. I have also used

colloidal silver (trioxysilver), one drop in the infected eye. Very effective.

Some people don't like using c. silver because it is a metal, but I'm not too

concerned with it since it is used as the preserving agent in the homeopathic

drops, and I use it sparingly.

If you are still breastfeeding, you could use a diluted drop of antiseptic soap

or baby shampoo to wash the eye first, and then use a couple drops of

breastmilk. I would have used this remedy, but am all out of breastmilk. : )

I haven't read about any connections to yeast and OLE, but it's possible, yeast

making the body susceptible.

Take a look at Earthclinic:

http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/viral_conjunctivitis.html

I've found a lot of effective remedies there.

When sleeping keep your daughter sleeping face up, or if on the side, sleep on

her right side so there is little chance that the left eye gets infected by a

stray tear from the right. Wash hands religiously, wash any towels used to dry

her face, if it's windy out wear sunglasses.

Much luck,

Sheila

Thanks for the responses. I am actually still breastfeeding my younger

daughter, so will have to try that. I think she is tolerating the OLE, but will

watch for the dry skin. I was not thinking yeast, but this makes sense as we

are heavily targeting viruses right now - Virastop, Lysine, OLE, and recently

increased vitamin C. And her yeasty behaviors have been worse. We're using

biotin and GSE for yeast right now. Is there anything else I should add? Thank

you...

If her eye issue gets worse and/or she gets really dry skin on her face, drop

the OLE immediately.

You can increase the doses of what you are using now [start by giving the same

dose but more frequently]. OoO is good. Candidase or Candex. There are lots

of options.
