Blepharitis

[Guest guest]

Good Morning Bee and all,

Today I saw my optometrist for a routine eye checkup, he told me that I have

blepharitis, which I already susptected.

Here's why: For the past 4 months I've been having problems with my eyes; every

morning the eyelids are swollen the right one is has always been worse than the

left. I always have pain in the right eye and it gets worse with movement, the

lower eyelid is droopy, very dry and sore. There are days that I can't even

wash my face because of the pain/sensetivity. This also caused me to have

terible headaches.

I have tried the eye treatment as directed in the files but the blepharitis has

not cleared up, today the doctor give me eye drops (antibiotics) to use 3 X per

day for 7 days. Is there anything else I could do instead of using the drops?

One other thing that he suggested that has me worried and depressed is that I

should be thinking of getting an eye operation to install a permanent contact

lense in, I'm too confused, depressed and having brain fog to remember why I

would benefit from such surgery.

Bee and all if you have suggestion that I can try please let me know.

Have a great day everyone,

Maddalena

==>Hi Maddalena. Blepharitis is caused by candida overgrowth in the

eyes, and because you're blind I would expect you to go through a lot

of retracing with your eyes. Have you tried the baking soda or

nystatin powder eye rinses?

Luv & Hugs, Bee

> Yes, Bee. I've tried the baking soda rinses at different times

over the four months period for seven days each time and it didn't

help. However, I didn't try the nystatin powder rinse yet, will ask

the doctor for a prescription.

==>Hi Maddalena. Yes, see if the doctor will perscribe nystatin

powder, but be sure he gets the correct powder that is intended for

internal use, and that it doesn't contain sugar. Also pharmacists

can dispense the wrong product as well, so you have to double check

it. I suggest you print out the Nystatin article and take it with

you when you see the doctor.

Don't forget that an infection like Blepharitis is also evidence the

body is trying hard to heal the area, so do not be too alarmed with

the symptoms.

> How is your moving coming along?

==>Thanks for asking my dear. It is very very tough! I've lived

here for 10 years and since I'm probably moving to the condo my

daughter and husband are buying this Fall in London, Ontario I am

downsizing a lot! I've already packed 14 boxes for a garage sale!

Since I live on the 3rd floor at the end of a very long wing of the

building, with no elevator, I'm getting my exercise! When I get

boxes it takes at least 3 trips up and down to get them into my

place. Whew! As it gets closer to my move date, which is April

26th, I may have less time on this group but I will let everyone know.

Love & Hugs, Bee

> I have a question regarding the eye treatment in the file: It says

to use 1 tsp. of baking soda in a cup of distilled water. My question

is: Can I use 1 1/2 tsp. of baking soda in the same amount of

distilled water since 1 tsp. hasn't worked for me in the past?

==>Yes you can mix 1 1/2 tsp. of baking soda for eye treatments.

> Good luck with your move, take care.

Thank you Maddalena.

Hi There:

***Is your name ? We like to go by first names here.

> I'm a 21 year female in 'reasonably' good health.. I've decided to try the

candida diet (am taking nystatin currently along w/other supplements)..

***Bee's Candida diet is very different from other Candida diets. And she does

not recommend taking Nystatin.... and your supplements may not be what she

recommends either. So let me make sure you have a chance to read some very

important info on her diet.

Please ensure you read two important articles so you understand candida, and

know what you need to do and why:

How to Successfully Overcome Candida

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro2.php

Curing Candida, How to Get Started

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro1.php

For encouragement and inspiration see these wonderful Success Stories by members

of this group: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/success/index.php

The only way to cure candida:

Candida cannot be cured by " killing it off. " It just doesn't work that way.

Candida is only cured by building up the immune system, which is done by:

Consuming " proper nutrients " (diet plus supplements),

Eliminating toxins and foods that feed candida (they also feed bacteria and

cancer),

Eliminating damaging foods, and

Eliminating toxins in general.

When the immune system is strong enough it will automatically " make " candida (or

any bug, cancer, etc.) change back into the microbe it was before.

I'm not sure if any members are currently dealing with a " diagnosis " of the

eye-thing you mentioned (sorry, I lost that part of your message when I pasted

the articles above). But, many folks have had eye-related symptoms that are

healing and I know Bee would not recommend taking the steroids your " doctors-

who- aren't- really- sure- what- have- but- want- to- prescribe- something-

toxic- anyway " are suggesting...

Hope this helps!
