Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Often dry, itchy eyes is allergies and coconut oil does help that. Also I would add good enzymes (I like the brand enzymedica) a good probiotic (Primal Defense, Nature's Biotics, Healthy Trinity--I've tried all of those with great success! If you like kefir grains is also another excellent idea! If you decide to purchase a probiotic, when you look at the price remember--you usually get what you pay for. A bottle for $7.99 is simply not going to give you the results...and if it is a live probotic and not refrigerated on the way to the health food store it is a waste of money. Be sure and ask, you'd be amazed at how many of them are not. Healthy Trinity is always. The other two are not live but SBO's, so no need for refrigeration.) and MSM. If you have any kind of ailments my top two choices would be coconut oil and MSM! And I also think everyone, especially our children, should be taking a good probiotic and getting good omega 3 essential fatty acids in conjuction with a healthy diet--which of course includes coconut oil.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Sharon I have tried using vcno on my eyelids when my eyes got itchy, specially near the tear ducts. I f irst wash my eyes. I did not put it directly inside the eyes thoough. It did remove the itchiness. It is normally the eyelids that itch and not the eyeball. Eyes..... I sometimes have dry, itchy eyes.

If your good gut bacteria are only 50 per cent out you might easily require 250 capsules of probiotic daily to provide the other 50% of your natural fecal bifidobacteria! Interesting concept. Here's the calculation: http://zeek.ca/4u/article.php?op=Print & sid=173 The journal Gastroenterology questions the wisdom of supplementing bowel bacteria that are not native to the human bowel (such as Primal Defense). Also, continuing to supplement with transient soil-based bacteria when you really need permanent bowel flora in your gut doesn't make a lot of sense. Besides, hardly anyone needs to " seed " their bowel culture; that's already done. It makes more sense to simply feed your native culture an inexpensive prebiotic that we only get at about 1/5 of historic levels and let nature take its course. This has been working for more than 5,000 years and it's still a reliable way to correct bowel flora. Where they used to use whole food broth to do it, we also have the option of using just the food component that does the work -- inulin.
