Re: Re: Coconut water eyes - info roundup

[Guest guest]

Lena, you should be able to freeze the water fine.

The oil I just put on the eyelid, and allowed what portion of it melted

to go in the eye.  It is not very pleasant, makes vision blurry, but

that doesn't matter at night.  See instructions at end of post.

I found a pack of the frozen coconut water in my freezer, so I have a

good  mind to set up a protocol in the hope of improving my vision,

which is pretty poor at the moment

So I could do with a roundup of all the ingredients people have found

useful.

I seem to recall some even using cayenne, which I guess would stimulate

the circulation, but I'm not sure I'm that brave.

So far I can include the following:

Coconut water

DMSO

Cineraria

CS / EIS

I've also read of honey being used, and I would certainly use some

Himalayan salt brine.

Here is a roundup of notes I've collected (and forgotten about) over

time.  I'll likely work something out from this, and it may be of

interest to others of you, too.  Quotes only, no sources, for brevity. 

I am not expert on any of them, so a web search on anything you find

interesting would likely give you something to share with us.

The 3 magic ingredients are,  DMSO, Vitamin C, and Glutathione.

Now I checked with one of my old lady herbalists in the country re the

coconut water and cataracts - it was a wonderful conversation - which I

will relate - Hi there mother X, how are you today - just fine - mother

do you know if coconut water is good for the eyes - she looks at me and

says - now how would a modern woman like you know about such things ?  

I replied I don't that is why I have come to you - she says - any time

you have anything wrong with the eyes young coconut water will cure it

all - so speaketh the sage !!!!   She went on to inform me that the

only thing which can kill the poison of a tree we have down here if it

gets into the eyes is coconut water, and if this is not used the poison

of the tree will damage the eye - so thanks to whomever suggested this

wonderful gift of nature as one of the assistants for eradicating

cataracts now I have my own home grown supply !!!!   After leaving her

house I stopped and bought some coconuts to start using it right away -

I will share the results later !!!! Regards to all Sandee

Cataracts are also linked to dairy products. The galactose that is a

breakdown product of lactose also >appears to damage the lens of the

eye, leading to cataracts. < Learn to make and drink kefir.

Cineraria is a traditional homeopathic remedy which has been utilized

for decades to treat cataracts. The government of India has stated that

“Cineraria is the drug of choice which prevents the development of

cataract.†No sting formula!

Description:

Homeopathic eye drops: Sterile, non preserved pH balanced, isotonic

ophthalmic solution containing two homeopathic active ingredients

microdiluted at the 5x and 6x potency. No Sting.

Size: 15 ml (1/2 oz.)

Indications/contraindications

Natural Ophthalmics “Cineraria Drops†are indicated for the symptoms of

Cataract. Contraindications: None known. Drug interactions: None known.

Differential advantages:

Homeopathic eye drops have the advantage of either helping the

condition or doing no harm. Adverse reactions or drug interactions are

unheard of with homeopathic medicines.

Active Ingredients:

Cineraria Maritima 5x: Cineraria acts as a safe lymphagogue, increasing

circulation in the intraocular tissues, also stimulating collateral

circulation and normal metabolism. Clinical observation indicates the

definite value of local applications of Cineraria in checking, or even

aborting existing cataracts.

Euphrasia 5x (Eyebright): is indicated for conjunctival and corneal

edema. Symptoms include photophobia, redness, dryness, lachrymation and

burning of the lid margin Euphrasia also helps treat the irritability

associated with eye problems. Often referred to as a “tonic for the

eyes.â€

One treatment I tried was cayenne in the eye wash cup. A way to tell

how tough you are is if you open your eyes during the wash. I got rid

of my cataracts mainly using flaxseed oil but they are now returning.

CS and DMSO is now my preferred treatment.

I used a recipe that blends incense and Sensation (EC-AFNOR

standard oils - French medical benchmarks of active chemical

constitutents).  It's worked for me for 6 years plus when specialists

could not grind lenses for me.  I have no restrictions on my driving

licence because of the oils.

When someone suggested oil I thought they were nuts - but there were no

other untravelled avenues so... with great scepticism thought I'd try

it.  I blended the oils of incense and Sensation in a recipe and

applied daily.I used an internationally recognized French medical

standard EC-AFNOR oils.  I use my recipe and in 1-2-3 days my eyes have

cleared up.

I was astonished to see the cataract shrank to a pin point and after

several more weeks totally was gone. After seeing this I also used

linseed oil (Flaxseed oil) in my eyes. DR said I had a bunch of small

cataracts growing in both eyes. I had a yearly check up about 5 weeks

later and DR said NO CATARACTS. Since then about 5 years ago the

cataracts are coming back in my eyes, I now make my own CS so I use CS

+ 10% DMSO in my eye wash cup, cataracts are still there but not

growing.

Due to your suggestion, I bought a bottle of flax seed oil and took it

to him at his home a couple of years ago; asking him to put a drop in

each eye every day.  He said that he had to do the treatment just prior

to retiring in the evening because the flax seed oil caused his vision

to become a bit blurry for a little while; but when he awoke his vision

was as clear as before putting the flax seed oil into his eyes.  Within

three months there was noticeable improvement.  Two years later, his

cataracts (if there are any), are no longer a problem.

One other suggestion I remember reading was to allow the flax seed oil

to sit for a while and to decant the lighter fraction that will rise to

the top of the bottle into another container to use for eye drops. I

think it was supposed to work better.

You are basically providing high quality lipids that gradually displace

the deposits left by the unhealthy, processed oils that you've been

eating in your diet. Which suggests replacing them in your diet might

be a strategy to prevent the problem to begin with.

N-Acetyl-Carnosine (NAC, note CARNOSINE not carnitine) eyedrops are

another possibility for cataracts.

 Carnosine's ability to help prevent glycosylation- the cross linking

of proteins (and DNA molecules) caused by sugar aldehydes reacting with

the aminoacids on the protein molecule and creating Advance

Glycosylation End-products (AGE's). If you want to see protein cross

linking in action cut an apple in half and watch it turn yellow!

Suchanti-glycosylation may be beneficial for diabetes, cataracts,

neuropathy, kidney failure and skin conditions, as well as "general"

anti-aging properties, especially improving skin condition. * In 1999,

Australian researchers confirmed that carnosine increases the longevity

of human fibroblast cells in the laboratory. Carnosine extended the

Hayflick limit (the maximum number of times a cell can

divide), from a "normal" 50 by up to an additional 10 times! Although

not

enough time has passed to test these results, carnosine may be a

supplement

of choice for longevity. It has been shown that animals with higher

levels

of carnosine appear to live longer than their controls.

* The Russians use Carnosine (in an eye-drop form) to help eradicate

senile cataract problems with great success, (their clinical trials

indicate an eye-condition improvement of 41.5% to 100% for patients

within

a 6-month period with sustainable results 24-months later). This type of

carnosine eye-drop may have very important anti-aging eye functions

because

it is breaking protein cross-links, NOT just inhibiting them. Note

however,

that the Russians have been using a "special" kind of carnosine known as

N-alpha acetylcarnosine or NAC for this purpose. It is not "just"

L-carnosine as an eye-drop. Dr. Mark Babizhayev, one of the scientists

behind the Russian clinical trials stated; "L-carnosine means nothing

for

the treatment of human cataracts because it readily becomes hydrolyzed

with

the serum carnosinase in the aqueous humor.  Besides, L-carnosine

appears

even dangerous for the treatment of ocular disorders, as it gradually

releases histamine via the activity of histidine decarboxylase."

http://www.carnosineeyedrops.com/

Excerpt from interview with Dr Mark Babizhayev who studied NAC eyedrops

and cataracts:       "One group of patients were the control reference

group, they demonstrated the variability in densitometric readings of

lens clouding and they had negative advance in glare sensitivity at 6

months, and a gradual  deterioration of visual acuity and gross

transmissivity of lenses at 24 months, these results were compared at

baseline and 6-month follow-up examinations. However, when compared

with baseline examination at 6 months, 41.5% of the eyes treated with

NAC eye drops presented a significant improvement in visual acuity of

7-100% and 88.9% of the eyes ranged a 27-100% improvement in glare

sensitivity."

What follows is a copy and paste of a message on Mr. 's Corner

group on Yahoo. Daddybob

 From: Marjie Date: Thu Mar 24, 2005 11:27 am Subject: Cataracts

To remove cataracts use coconut milk (fresh from the coconut).

Straining it first would be a good idea. Put as much as the eye will

hold and cover with a warm wet cloth for at least 10 minutes. Repeat

the following day.

We discovered this by accident while on a cruiseship (years ago). A few

of us were on an island day trip and wanted to get off the beaten

tourists path so we hired a bus and driver to take us to the opposite

side of the island (only 10 of us on that big bus). A man and his wife

were taking the cruise as a sort of last hoorah before her scheduled

cataract surgery we later found out. Anyway beautiful beach, coconuts

laying everywhere and we got thirsty, no drinking water. So we decide

to open up some coconuts to quinch our dry throats. Found a local with

a big macheate and through sign language we convinced him to open

coconuts for us. Anyway the woman with the  cataracts got splashed in

one eye by the coconut juice and it burned a bit. We were all digging

through everything we had for something to releave her eye "injury",

all we came up with was one moist washcloth. Her husband wiped her eye

and placed the washcloth over it. About 10 minutes later she announced

we should head back to the ship. We did. The next morning at breakfast

she said that her eye was much better and that she could see very well.

We examined her eye closely and could not see any signs of the

cataract, which were quite obvious the day before. She said she wished

she had gotten splashed in both eyes. Then the idea dawned on us to

"splash" her other eye. We did as soon as we got ashore that very day,

also repeated the other eye too. This time we were prepared, went to

the local market grabbed a coconut, opened it, strained it through a

washcloth into a plastic cup. Dribbled the juice into both eyes. Placed

a warm washcloth over both eyes.

Waited 10 minutes and the rest is history. She went to her MD upon

returning stateside - no cataracts and no surgery. Give it a try the

next time you have an opportunity. CU - Marjie

I also found the story about the cataract interesting. I recorded a

similar story in my book The Coconut Oil Miracle. I also discuss it in

my new book Coconut Cures (pages148 and 216). You use coconut

water--the liquid inside the coconut--not the milk. Noted herbalist

Heinerman also talks about coconut milk (water) as a means to cure

cataract in one of his books. Bruce Fife

 

A lot of people have had good results giving coconut products to their

pets.I even know of people getting diabetic dogs completely off insulin

by feeding them coconut oil regularly. I don't see any problem in using

coconut water to help with cataracts

antioxidants include vitamins C and E, the vitamin-like flavonoids, and

the mineral vitamin C a day can slow the development of cataracts.

Which brings me back to my magazine article about rosemary, contain

generous amounts of vitamins C and E, some of which can be extracted in

mint tea like my Cataractea.

In addition to trace minerals manganese appear to play a role in

cataract prevention. proteins damaged by oxidation that contribute to

eye clouding. trace minerals.

Finally, vitamin C in 1928, was also a champion of flavonoids. He

called them vitamin P.

catnip tea is guaranteed to prevent cataracts. But I think that two

cups of catnip tea in winter and iced Catnip

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis). A mint relative of rosemary contains

more than a dozen rosemary liberally in cooking. It's especially good

on roasted potatoes and is often used in chicken dishes.

PH_GP_2leavesBrazil nut (Bertholettia excelsa). These nuts contain

generous amounts of vitamin E, plus the essential trace mineral

Selenium levels in the eye lenses of people with cataracts are a mere

15 percent of normal, suggesting that selenium from Brazil nuts might

help prevent cataracts.

 Hoffmann-La Roche cites more than 30 studies providing evidence that

carotenoids help prevent what he calls the three Cs: cancer,

cardiovascular disease and cataracts. Carotenoids (including

beta-carotene) are the compounds that give carrots their orange color.

Onion (quercetin, a compound that has been shown in studies to help

prevent cataracts in people with diabetes.

Just a half-cup of fresh purslane contains healthy amounts of

beta-carotene and vitamins C and E.

capers are a very rich source of cataract-preventing compounds known as

aldose-reductose inhibitors. Use capers whenever you want extra zing in

cooking.

Cataractea

Are you interested in protecting your vision as you age? Learn to enjoy

this tea daily, and there's a good chance it will help you do just that.

To make the tea, boil two quarts of water. Remove from the heat and add

one handful each of catnip, rosemary and lemon balm (also known as

melissa). Add a few teaspoons of grated ginger and a dash or two of

turmeric. Steep for 20 minutes and drink warm or cold with lemon juice

and honey.

 

MAJOR ACUPRESSURE EYE POINTS

There are a number of acupuncture/acupressure points around the eyes

(basically around the orbits of the eyes which are the bones that

surround the eyeballs). The points shown above are some of the major

local eye points.

*               Jingming (UB-1) Urinary Bladder Channel, lies where the

inner corner of the eye meets the nose. Bladder 1 and 2 are perhaps the

best two points for eye problems of all kinds from early-stage

cataracts or glaucoma to hysteria with vision loss. They are also used

for problems with conjunctivitis due to Wind-Heat and Liver Heat, to

blurred vision in the elderly due to Deficient Jing and Blood

*               Zanzhu (UB-2) Urinary Bladder Channel, lies in the

depressions at the inner ends of the eyebrows. Bladder 1 and 2 are

perhaps the best two points for eye problems of all kinds from

early-stage cataracts or glaucoma to hysteria with vision loss. They

are also used for problems with conjunctivitis due to Wind-Heat and

Liver Heat, to blurred vision in the elderly due to Deficient Jing and

Blood

*               Yuyao Midpoint of the eyebrow in the hollow. Good for

eye problems related to worry, excessive study and mental strain.

*               Sizhukong (SJ 23) Sanjiao or Triple Burner Channel, in

the depression at the outside end of the eyebrow. This is a local point

good for eye and facial problems, whether due to Wind invasion or the

Liver Yang and Fire.

*               Tongziliao (GB 1) Gall Bladder Channel, lies in the

cavities on the outside corners of the eye sockets. Good for eye

problems including conjunctivitis, red sore eyes, photophobia, dry,

itchy eyes, early-stage cataracts and blurred vision, as well as

lateral headaches.

*               Qiuhou Midway between St-1 and GB-1 along the orbit of

the eyes.

*               Chengqi (St 1) directly blow the pupil on the

infraorbital ridge bone. This is a main point for all eye problems,

including those due to Wind Cold, Wind Heat and Hyperactive Liver Yang.

 

Instructions for doing self-acupressure for eye health:

GENTLY massage each acupuncture point around the orbit of the eye,

starting with B1-1 and massaging each point as you go up and outward.

Each point should be massaged for approximately 5-10 seconds. You can

massage both eyes at the same time. You can do this massage as often as

you like over the course of the day. You may find that each point feels

different in terms of sensitivity.

Keep BREATHING as you massage. Deep breathing helps the cells of your

eyes receive the oxygen they need for healing. Practice long, slow

abdominal breathing while massaging the acupressure points.

From: sol

 For nebulizing I use 1 oz EIS (mine is around 12-15 ppm)- ½ to 1 

teaspoon pure MSM crystals (Opti-msm)- and 5 drops of DMSO. This is

for  my chronic URI pet rabbit, and it is used for ear drops as well

(but NOT  for eyes--the MSM doesn't hurt eyes, but it stings like the

devil--when  I used it in my rabbit's eye without testing it on me

first is when he  bit through my thumbnail, I had it coming!).

Sol- I have used herbs for eye infections in myself and my cat.  Some

good herbs are Ribwort Plantain, All-Heal (Prunella) and, excellent -

Fennel seed available from a grocery store.  I made tea with them,

simmer the fennel seeds a little, and sometimes added Goldenseal

tincture.  It worked great even on a bad eye infection that my

brother-in-law gave me that his prescription antibiotics didn't work

well on.  I also used it on my cat's eye infection and it worked for

her too.  Ribwort Plantain is also a very effective antibiotic taken

internally and I have chopped it fresh and given it to my cat mixed in

her wet food when she had a jaw abscess in addition to using the tea

for a hot compress.  I also cured her of brownish stuff floating in her

eyeball with it.  I also used it for a UTI.  Google would have photos

of it

Almond oil, Wheat Germ oil, vitamin E oil, Olive oil, and essential

oils of Rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora), Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata), and

Jasmine (Jasminum offcinale).

 

2.    incense (a single essential oil) Code #3548

 

3.    Procedure:  In a small glass bottle (preferably with a spigot)

mix 1 oz of Sensation massage oil with 25 drops of incense oil. 

Drop a few drops on clean fingers.  Apply in ‘raccoon’ like circles

above and below eyes around bony sockets.  Apply until desired vision

is noted or 3 times daily up to 3 months.  Individuals often notice

improved vision within weeks of using this recipe.

It was a macular degeneration and his doctors told him that nothing

could be done. So he learned Braille and got a cane.

His father heard of the oils and wanted to see what they would do for

Mike.  The first of April last year he began using 3 times a day

·         incense by rubbing around his eyes (not in) and also on

the base of his skull.  

He rubbed it around his eye, eyelid etc. (not in his eye) and at the

base of his skull on the top of the spine.  Within 2 weeks he starting

getting light in his other eye, in another 2 weeks he could make out

forms, by Memorial Day he could see enough to chop wood.  

 He called me in September thrilled to let me know that he had just

taken his drivers test and had his day light only license.

  1. Water Treatment. For the eye bath the temperature of the water

should be as cold as the sensitive eyeball can stand, but not cold

enough to cause serious discomfort. A few grains of salt may be added

to make the water slightly saline.

    a) Submerge forehead and eyes in a basin of water, open and close

the lids under water from six to eight times. Repeat a few times.

    Fill a glass or aluminum eyecup (which can be bought in any drug

store or department store) with water, bend the head forward and press

the cup securely against the eye; then bend backward and open and shut

the lid a number of times.

    c) Bend over a stream of water running from a faucet or over a

large dish containing cold water of natural temperature as it comes

from the hydrant or well; then scoop up the water in the hollow of the

hands and throw it into the open eyes, at the same time move the

eyeballs sideways in circular or up and down motion. This is done in

order to permit the water to reach all parts of the eyeball equally.

    The cold bathing is continued until the eyes cease smarting and

perfect reaction is established. This may require about a minute.

   2. Massage and Vibratory Treatment. We have learned in other parts

of these volumes that massage has very much the same effect upon the

circulation of the blood, lymph and nerve currents as hydropathic

treatment. It stirs up the pathogenic deposits in the tissues and

actually squeezes them into the lymphatic and venous circulation, thus

allowing a free inflow of the red arterial blood with its freight of

life sustaining oxygen and other elements of nutrition. Like the cold

water, it stimulates the flow of the sluggish, pathogen laden lymph and

venous blood towards the heart and the organs of elimination.

    Another very important effect of the massage of the eyes lies in

the fact that it makes the eyeball more elastic and resilient, thereby

correcting abnormal depressions and inequalities of the surface; in

other words, it rounds the eyeball more perfectly. This is a simple and

natural way of curing astigmatism, which the oculist tries to overcome

by specially ground lenses. It is easily to be seen which of these

methods is the more natural and rational. The one endeavors to overcome

a symptom; the other removes the cause and actually corrects the

abnormal condition.

    Both massage and hydropathic treatment, aside from their mechanical

effects upon the circulation, nutrition and drainage, also arouse and

stimulate the latent electromagnetic energy. This, together with a more

liberal supply of alkaline mineral elements in food and drink, raises

the positivity of the organism, which means greater vitality and

recuperating power The best massage movements adapted for the eye

treatment are the following:

   3. Massage Movements. (a) Kneading. In order to execute this

movement, press the eyeballs out of their sockets with the tip of one

or two fingers of each hand. Continue this until the eyeballs have

received a thorough kneading, as far back in the sockets as possible.

You need not be afraid of injuring the eyes by this treatment unless

you exert undue or excessive force.

    Vibrating. Vibrate the eyeball all over its surface as far as

you can reach it, first with one, then with two and lastly with three

fingers—the thumb, forefinger and middle finger brought to a point. The

movement is executed by a quick vibratory motion of the hand in the

wrist joint It may require some practice before perfect vibratory

motion is attained, but when once acquired it is very beneficial for

the purposes described in this treatise.

    After thoroughly vibrating the eyeball for about a minute, finish

with the stroking movements.

    c) Stroking. This movement is executed by stroking the eyeball,

first gently, then gradually more and more strongly, with one and later

two finger tips. The stroking proceeds over the upper and lower lids

from the inner corners of the eyes outward; then reverse and stroke

from the outer corner of the eye in a half circular motion to the inner

corner. These movements also are repeated from a dozen to two dozen

times, according to the endurance and time available.

    The stroking is applied first gently and with gradually increasing

pressure until the eyeball has become seemingly insensible. As before

stated, none of these treatments, if executed with a little care and

common sense, can possibly inflict any injury. Although the mechanism

of the eye is very complicated and highly sensitive, it is at the same

time very tough and resilient. Cures of serious eye troubles which are

little short of miraculous have been effected by this simple treatment.

If faithfully applied at least twice a day, or, if possible, in

conjunction with the general regimen for natural living and with

neurotherapy, it will do away in a great many cases with the necessity

for the wearing of glasses, and will preserve excellent eyesight under

strenuous usage, even to extreme old age.

   4. Eye Gymnastics. After the eyes have recovered sufficiently from

the cold bathing, practice eye gymnastics. Stand erect, or if too weak

assume a comfortable relaxed position in a chair, then move the eyes

upwards and downwards, as far as the mobility of the eyeballs will

permit, along an imaginary vertical line on the wall opposite you.

Repeat this from twelve to twenty-four times.

    Then in like manner move the eyeballs as far as you can force them

from right to left and left to right on an imaginary horizontal line in

front of you on a level with your eyes. Move the eyeballs in similar

manner diagonally from the highest point on the fight to the lowest

point on the left, and then reverse.

    Finally roll the eyeballs in circular motion from fight to left and

then from left to right. Each one of these movements should be repeated

from twelve to twenty-four times, according to the time at your

disposal.

    The special value of these eye exercises lies in the fact that the

movements of the eyeball are regulated by four sets of muscle which

pull the eyeball upward; downward, to the right and to the left.

Recipe:  Combine 1 oz of SENSATION MASSAGE Oil with 25 drops of

Certified EC-AFNOR Standard FRANKINCENSE essential oil in a small glass

bottle.  Apply a few drops 3x daily to eye sockets in ‘raccoon’ circles

optometrist within 30-90 days.

I have been using organic coconut oil directly on my eyeball for a

condition

( s Syndrome ) I have in which I burn from any chemical

exposure in the air. It has sharpened my vision dramatically within the

first week, actually , so sharp that the contrast wa hard on my

eyes,and I

have had professional eyecare doctors examine my eyes since I have begun

doing it. The c.o. keeps my cornea moist since I wasn't at the time

making

lipids. I had been doing this regularly throughout the day, and now I

only

do it whenever I get burned.I also put the coconut oil up my nostrils

and

turned upside down to let it eventually come out the ducts for my eyes.

When

I am exposed to any chemical, even windex as far as 40ft away, I burn.

So I

use the coconut oil for the inflammation and it also keeps away fungal

and

bacterial infections. I do advise though, if you put it in your eyes, to

also use a hot moist rag on your eyes for 10 minutes to aid the c.o. in

opening the tiny pores along the edges of your lids. The c.o. healed

much

scarring within my lids. I am very thankful to have this as I may not

use

any eye drops including saline solution. I tried this approach after a

crisis I had with my eyes , and noone was able to help me because of my

chemical sensitivity. I ended up trying it on myself and I was so

greatful

days later, when someone so kind on this forum told me that they had put

coconut in their eyes before and mentioned Dr. Fife's book.

Unfortunately ,

it was too late for me to read his book before trying it as I wasn't

able to

see. So one of these days, I will have the opportunity to read his

wonderful

book containing his knowledge of coconut oil. As of late, I have perfect

vision unless I am exposed , which happens chronically.

I want you to know I also keep the c.o. on my face at all times, as my

face

was burned charred black from the SJS allergic reaction. Today, I have

no

scars. The c.o. adds a layer of protection against the oxidized

chemicals

which often cause me severe pain .

I would think this would be wonderful protection for everyone's delicate

skin.

Please, remember to stay out of the sun..especially when taking

prescription

and non prescription medications.. Many herbs can make one

photosentitive

also.

Ophthalmologist Norbert J. Becquet, M.D., of Little Rock, Arkansas,

reported to the American Academy of Medical Preventics (AAMP) in May

1980 that he had great success using DMSO in treating cataracts and

other eye problems.  "I've treated two hundred patients in the last

year for macular degeneration, macular edema, and traumatic uviitis, " 

Dr. Be. Becquet said.  "I instill 5 mg of DMSO in one cc of normal

saline placed retrobulbar under Tenon's capsule behind the equator or

to wherever the area of activity is.  Strictly for cataracts, all we

need do is put one drop of DMSO directly into the eyeball."

 

Other AAMP physicians told of instilling one drop of a solution

consisting of 25 mg of DMSO with 2 cc of superoxide dismutase (SOD)

once or twice a day for clearing cataracts and glaucoma.

Dr. Becquet said, "In using DMSO, glaucoma drugs and potentiated,

including those required for treating wide-angle glaucoma.  But DMSO

alone is better for muscular degeneration.  In dropping it, we may

combine 5 mg of 2 cc DMSO with 5 mg of 2 cc SOD for a 4 cc solution."

The first clue to the possible efficacy of DMSO in retinal disease,

variously called deterioration, degeneration, dystrophy and abiotrophy,

all non-inflammatory types of disturbances of the retina, was

discovered inadvertently.  The retina is the part of the eye that is

sensitive to light, a delicate film covering about two-thirds of the

inner surface of the eyeball.  It is closely attached to an underlying

layer, the choroid.  Some patients with retinitis pigmentosa, a retinal

disease, who were taking DMSO treatment for certain musculoskeletal

disorders, sensed that their vision had improved while they were taking

the drug.  The patients told this to V. Hill, M.D. of the

University of Oregon Medical School, and he undertook a preliminary

investigation into the effectiveness of DMSO in the treatment of

retinal diseases.

"Such an investigation was begun after one patient suffering from

retinitis pigmentosa had a rather spectacular recovery of vision after

treatment with DMSO,"  Dr. Hill explained to the Science Writers

Research to Prevent Blindness seminar in Los Angeles in February 1973. 

"At the time his DMSO treatment was started this patient could see hand

motion only with his right eye and had a visual acuity of 20/200

(Snellen) in his left eye.  Five days later (Feb. 15, 1972), his vision

was measured with 20/70+1 in the left eye, and he could count fingers

at five feet with his right eye.  Three months later, his visual acuity

was 20/50 in the left eye.

 "An additional fifty patients with retinal deteriorations (mascular

degenerations as well as retinitis pigmentosa) were then treated

similarly with DMSO, and the subjective evidence gathered was still

encouraging."  continue Dr. Hill.  "This subjective evidence consisted

of improved or stabilized visual acuity, improved or stabilized visual

fields, and improved night vision.  (It is considered 'subjective'

because it requires subjective responses from the patient.)  Of the

fifty patients treated with DMSO, twenty-two improved in dark

adaptation.  Two patients have continued to regress, and the rest have

had no measurable or personally noted changes in vision.

Hi Rowena,Wow! What a bounteous gift! I just read most of what you sent and am so excited. Will re-read tomorrow and set up a regimen for helping my eyes. I'm so grateful for your helpful organization of all this info. When read together, it tends to support a few basic methods and materials, making the whole approach less scary. Having used CS in my eyes with good results, I'm eager to go a bit farther, especially as these articles give some of the science behind why these methods work.Thanks a lot! I'll keep you posted on what happens. Here's looking at you, kid!Be well,Léna Lena, you should be able to freeze the water fine. The oil I just put on the eyelid, and allowed what portion of it melted to go in the eye. It is not very pleasant, makes vision blurry, but that doesn't matter at night. See instructions at end of post. I found a pack of the frozen coconut water in my freezer, so I have a good mind to set up a protocol in the hope of improving my vision, which is pretty poor at the moment So I could do with a roundup of all the ingredients people have found useful. I seem to recall some even using cayenne, which I guess would stimulate the circulation, but I'm not sure I'm that brave. So far I can include the following: Coconut water DMSO Cineraria CS / EIS I've also read of honey being used, and I would certainly use some Himalayan salt brine. Here is a roundup of notes I've collected (and forgotten about) over time. I'll likely work something out from this, and it may be of interest to others of you, too. Quotes only, no sources, for brevity. I am not expert on any of them, so a web search on anything you find interesting would likely give you something to share with us. R The 3 magic ingredients are, DMSO, Vitamin C, and Glutathione. Now I checked with one of my old lady herbalists in the country re the coconut water and cataracts - it was a wonderful conversation - which I will relate - Hi there mother X, how are you today - just fine - mother do you know if coconut water is good for the eyes - she looks at me and says - now how would a modern woman like you know about such things ? I replied I don't that is why I have come to you - she says - any time you have anything wrong with the eyes young coconut water will cure it all - so speaketh the sage !!!! She went on to inform me that the only thing which can kill the poison of a tree we have down here if it gets into the eyes is coconut water, and if this is not used the poison of the tree will damage the eye - so thanks to whomever suggested this wonderful gift of nature as one of the assistants for eradicating cataracts now I have my own home grown supply !!!! After leaving her house I stopped and bought some coconuts to start using it right away - I will share the results later !!!! Regards to all Sandee Cataracts are also linked to dairy products. The galactose that is a breakdown product of lactose also >appears to damage the lens of the eye, leading to cataracts. < Learn to make and drink kefir. Cineraria is a traditional homeopathic remedy which has been utilized for decades to treat cataracts. The government of India has stated that “Cineraria is the drug of choice which prevents the development of cataract.†No sting formula! Description: Homeopathic eye drops: Sterile, non preserved pH balanced, isotonic ophthalmic solution containing two homeopathic active ingredients microdiluted at the 5x and 6x potency. No Sting. Size: 15 ml (1/2 oz.) Indications/contraindications Natural Ophthalmics “Cineraria Drops†are indicated for the symptoms of Cataract. Contraindications: None known. Drug interactions: None known. Differential advantages: Homeopathic eye drops have the advantage of either helping the condition or doing no harm. Adverse reactions or drug interactions are unheard of with homeopathic medicines. Active Ingredients: Cineraria Maritima 5x: Cineraria acts as a safe lymphagogue, increasing circulation in the intraocular tissues, also stimulating collateral circulation and normal metabolism. Clinical observation indicates the definite value of local applications of Cineraria in checking, or even aborting existing cataracts. Euphrasia 5x (Eyebright): is indicated for conjunctival and corneal edema. Symptoms include photophobia, redness, dryness, lachrymation and burning of the lid margin Euphrasia also helps treat the irritability associated with eye problems. Often referred to as a “tonic for the eyes.†One treatment I tried was cayenne in the eye wash cup. A way to tell how tough you are is if you open your eyes during the wash. I got rid of my cataracts mainly using flaxseed oil but they are now returning. CS and DMSO is now my preferred treatment. I used a recipe that blends incense and Sensation (EC-AFNOR standard oils - French medical benchmarks of active chemical constitutents). It's worked for me for 6 years plus when specialists could not grind lenses for me. I have no restrictions on my driving licence because of the oils. When someone suggested oil I thought they were nuts - but there were no other untravelled avenues so... with great scepticism thought I'd try it. I blended the oils of incense and Sensation in a recipe and applied daily.I used an internationally recognized French medical standard EC-AFNOR oils. I use my recipe and in 1-2-3 days my eyes have cleared up. I was astonished to see the cataract shrank to a pin point and after several more weeks totally was gone. After seeing this I also used linseed oil (Flaxseed oil) in my eyes. DR said I had a bunch of small cataracts growing in both eyes. I had a yearly check up about 5 weeks later and DR said NO CATARACTS. Since then about 5 years ago the cataracts are coming back in my eyes, I now make my own CS so I use CS + 10% DMSO in my eye wash cup, cataracts are still there but not growing. Due to your suggestion, I bought a bottle of flax seed oil and took it to him at his home a couple of years ago; asking him to put a drop in each eye every day. He said that he had to do the treatment just prior to retiring in the evening because the flax seed oil caused his vision to become a bit blurry for a little while; but when he awoke his vision was as clear as before putting the flax seed oil into his eyes. Within three months there was noticeable improvement. Two years later, his cataracts (if there are any), are no longer a problem. One other suggestion I remember reading was to allow the flax seed oil to sit for a while and to decant the lighter fraction that will rise to the top of the bottle into another container to use for eye drops. I think it was supposed to work better. You are basically providing high quality lipids that gradually displace the deposits left by the unhealthy, processed oils that you've been eating in your diet. Which suggests replacing them in your diet might be a strategy to prevent the problem to begin with. N-Acetyl-Carnosine (NAC, note CARNOSINE not carnitine) eyedrops are another possibility for cataracts. Carnosine's ability to help prevent glycosylation- the cross linking of proteins (and DNA molecules) caused by sugar aldehydes reacting with the aminoacids on the protein molecule and creating Advance Glycosylation End-products (AGE's). If you want to see protein cross linking in action cut an apple in half and watch it turn yellow! Suchanti-glycosylation may be beneficial for diabetes, cataracts, neuropathy, kidney failure and skin conditions, as well as "general" anti-aging properties, especially improving skin condition. * In 1999, Australian researchers confirmed that carnosine increases the longevity of human fibroblast cells in the laboratory. Carnosine extended the Hayflick limit (the maximum number of times a cell can divide), from a "normal" 50 by up to an additional 10 times! Although not enough time has passed to test these results, carnosine may be a supplement of choice for longevity. It has been shown that animals with higher levels of carnosine appear to live longer than their controls. * The Russians use Carnosine (in an eye-drop form) to help eradicate senile cataract problems with great success, (their clinical trials indicate an eye-condition improvement of 41.5% to 100% for patients within a 6-month period with sustainable results 24-months later). This type of carnosine eye-drop may have very important anti-aging eye functions because it is breaking protein cross-links, NOT just inhibiting them. Note however, that the Russians have been using a "special" kind of carnosine known as N-alpha acetylcarnosine or NAC for this purpose. It is not "just" L-carnosine as an eye-drop. Dr. Mark Babizhayev, one of the scientists behind the Russian clinical trials stated; "L-carnosine means nothing for the treatment of human cataracts because it readily becomes hydrolyzed with the serum carnosinase in the aqueous humor. Besides, L-carnosine appears even dangerous for the treatment of ocular disorders, as it gradually releases histamine via the activity of histidine decarboxylase." http://www.carnosineeyedrops.com/ Excerpt from interview with Dr Mark Babizhayev who studied NAC eyedrops and cataracts: "One group of patients were the control reference group, they demonstrated the variability in densitometric readings of lens clouding and they had negative advance in glare sensitivity at 6 months, and a gradual deterioration of visual acuity and gross transmissivity of lenses at 24 months, these results were compared at baseline and 6-month follow-up examinations. However, when compared with baseline examination at 6 months, 41.5% of the eyes treated with NAC eye drops presented a significant improvement in visual acuity of 7-100% and 88.9% of the eyes ranged a 27-100% improvement in glare sensitivity." http://www.antiaging-systems.com/extract/babizhayev.htmHas photos of eyes treated with NAC. What follows is a copy and paste of a message on Mr. 's Corner group on Yahoo. Daddybob From: Marjie Date: Thu Mar 24, 2005 11:27 am Subject: Cataracts To remove cataracts use coconut milk (fresh from the coconut). Straining it first would be a good idea. Put as much as the eye will hold and cover with a warm wet cloth for at least 10 minutes. Repeat the following day. We discovered this by accident while on a cruiseship (years ago). A few of us were on an island day trip and wanted to get off the beaten tourists path so we hired a bus and driver to take us to the opposite side of the island (only 10 of us on that big bus). A man and his wife were taking the cruise as a sort of last hoorah before her scheduled cataract surgery we later found out. Anyway beautiful beach, coconuts laying everywhere and we got thirsty, no drinking water. So we decide to open up some coconuts to quinch our dry throats. Found a local with a big macheate and through sign language we convinced him to open coconuts for us. Anyway the woman with the cataracts got splashed in one eye by the coconut juice and it burned a bit. We were all digging through everything we had for something to releave her eye "injury", all we came up with was one moist washcloth. Her husband wiped her eye and placed the washcloth over it. About 10 minutes later she announced we should head back to the ship. We did. The next morning at breakfast she said that her eye was much better and that she could see very well. We examined her eye closely and could not see any signs of the cataract, which were quite obvious the day before. She said she wished she had gotten splashed in both eyes. Then the idea dawned on us to "splash" her other eye. We did as soon as we got ashore that very day, also repeated the other eye too. This time we were prepared, went to the local market grabbed a coconut, opened it, strained it through a washcloth into a plastic cup. Dribbled the juice into both eyes. Placed a warm washcloth over both eyes. Waited 10 minutes and the rest is history. She went to her MD upon returning stateside - no cataracts and no surgery. Give it a try the next time you have an opportunity. CU - Marjie I also found the story about the cataract interesting. I recorded a similar story in my book The Coconut Oil Miracle. I also discuss it in my new book Coconut Cures (pages148 and 216). You use coconut water--the liquid inside the coconut--not the milk. Noted herbalist Heinerman also talks about coconut milk (water) as a means to cure cataract in one of his books. Bruce Fife A lot of people have had good results giving coconut products to their pets.I even know of people getting diabetic dogs completely off insulin by feeding them coconut oil regularly. I don't see any problem in using coconut water to help with cataracts antioxidants include vitamins C and E, the vitamin-like flavonoids, and the mineral vitamin C a day can slow the development of cataracts. Which brings me back to my magazine article about rosemary, contain generous amounts of vitamins C and E, some of which can be extracted in mint tea like my Cataractea. In addition to trace minerals manganese appear to play a role in cataract prevention. proteins damaged by oxidation that contribute to eye clouding. trace minerals. Finally, vitamin C in 1928, was also a champion of flavonoids. He called them vitamin P. catnip tea is guaranteed to prevent cataracts. But I think that two cups of catnip tea in winter and iced Catnip Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis). A mint relative of rosemary contains more than a dozen rosemary liberally in cooking. It's especially good on roasted potatoes and is often used in chicken dishes. PH_GP_2leavesBrazil nut (Bertholettia excelsa). These nuts contain generous amounts of vitamin E, plus the essential trace mineral Selenium levels in the eye lenses of people with cataracts are a mere 15 percent of normal, suggesting that selenium from Brazil nuts might help prevent cataracts. Hoffmann-La Roche cites more than 30 studies providing evidence that carotenoids help prevent what he calls the three Cs: cancer, cardiovascular disease and cataracts. Carotenoids (including beta-carotene) are the compounds that give carrots their orange color. Onion (quercetin, a compound that has been shown in studies to help prevent cataracts in people with diabetes. Just a half-cup of fresh purslane contains healthy amounts of beta-carotene and vitamins C and E. capers are a very rich source of cataract-preventing compounds known as aldose-reductose inhibitors. Use capers whenever you want extra zing in cooking. Cataractea Are you interested in protecting your vision as you age? Learn to enjoy this tea daily, and there's a good chance it will help you do just that. To make the tea, boil two quarts of water. Remove from the heat and add one handful each of catnip, rosemary and lemon balm (also known as melissa). Add a few teaspoons of grated ginger and a dash or two of turmeric. Steep for 20 minutes and drink warm or cold with lemon juice and honey. MAJOR ACUPRESSURE EYE POINTS There are a number of acupuncture/acupressure points around the eyes (basically around the orbits of the eyes which are the bones that surround the eyeballs). The points shown above are some of the major local eye points. * Jingming (UB-1) Urinary Bladder Channel, lies where the inner corner of the eye meets the nose. Bladder 1 and 2 are perhaps the best two points for eye problems of all kinds from early-stage cataracts or glaucoma to hysteria with vision loss. They are also used for problems with conjunctivitis due to Wind-Heat and Liver Heat, to blurred vision in the elderly due to Deficient Jing and Blood * Zanzhu (UB-2) Urinary Bladder Channel, lies in the depressions at the inner ends of the eyebrows. Bladder 1 and 2 are perhaps the best two points for eye problems of all kinds from early-stage cataracts or glaucoma to hysteria with vision loss. They are also used for problems with conjunctivitis due to Wind-Heat and Liver Heat, to blurred vision in the elderly due to Deficient Jing and Blood * Yuyao Midpoint of the eyebrow in the hollow. Good for eye problems related to worry, excessive study and mental strain. * Sizhukong (SJ 23) Sanjiao or Triple Burner Channel, in the depression at the outside end of the eyebrow. This is a local point good for eye and facial problems, whether due to Wind invasion or the Liver Yang and Fire. * Tongziliao (GB 1) Gall Bladder Channel, lies in the cavities on the outside corners of the eye sockets. Good for eye problems including conjunctivitis, red sore eyes, photophobia, dry, itchy eyes, early-stage cataracts and blurred vision, as well as lateral headaches. * Qiuhou Midway between St-1 and GB-1 along the orbit of the eyes. * Chengqi (St 1) directly blow the pupil on the infraorbital ridge bone. This is a main point for all eye problems, including those due to Wind Cold, Wind Heat and Hyperactive Liver Yang. Instructions for doing self-acupressure for eye health: GENTLY massage each acupuncture point around the orbit of the eye, starting with B1-1 and massaging each point as you go up and outward. Each point should be massaged for approximately 5-10 seconds. You can massage both eyes at the same time. You can do this massage as often as you like over the course of the day. You may find that each point feels different in terms of sensitivity. Keep BREATHING as you massage. Deep breathing helps the cells of your eyes receive the oxygen they need for healing. Practice long, slow abdominal breathing while massaging the acupressure points. From: sol For nebulizing I use 1 oz EIS (mine is around 12-15 ppm)- ½ to 1 teaspoon pure MSM crystals (Opti-msm)- and 5 drops of DMSO. This is for my chronic URI pet rabbit, and it is used for ear drops as well (but NOT for eyes--the MSM doesn't hurt eyes, but it stings like the devil--when I used it in my rabbit's eye without testing it on me first is when he bit through my thumbnail, I had it coming!). Sol- I have used herbs for eye infections in myself and my cat. Some good herbs are Ribwort Plantain, All-Heal (Prunella) and, excellent - Fennel seed available from a grocery store. I made tea with them, simmer the fennel seeds a little, and sometimes added Goldenseal tincture. It worked great even on a bad eye infection that my brother-in-law gave me that his prescription antibiotics didn't work well on. I also used it on my cat's eye infection and it worked for her too. Ribwort Plantain is also a very effective antibiotic taken internally and I have chopped it fresh and given it to my cat mixed in her wet food when she had a jaw abscess in addition to using the tea for a hot compress. I also cured her of brownish stuff floating in her eyeball with it. I also used it for a UTI. Google would have photos of it 1. Sensation Massage Oil Code #3766 Contains: Grape Seed oil, Sweet Almond oil, Wheat Germ oil, vitamin E oil, Olive oil, and essential oils of Rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora), Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata), and Jasmine (Jasminum offcinale). 2. incense (a single essential oil) Code #3548 3. Procedure: In a small glass bottle (preferably with a spigot) mix 1 oz of Sensation massage oil with 25 drops of incense oil. Drop a few drops on clean fingers. Apply in ‘raccoon’ like circles above and below eyes around bony sockets. Apply until desired vision is noted or 3 times daily up to 3 months. Individuals often notice improved vision within weeks of using this recipe. It was a macular degeneration and his doctors told him that nothing could be done. So he learned Braille and got a cane. His father heard of the oils and wanted to see what they would do for Mike. The first of April last year he began using 3 times a day · incense by rubbing around his eyes (not in) and also on the base of his skull. He rubbed it around his eye, eyelid etc. (not in his eye) and at the base of his skull on the top of the spine. Within 2 weeks he starting getting light in his other eye, in another 2 weeks he could make out forms, by Memorial Day he could see enough to chop wood. He called me in September thrilled to let me know that he had just taken his drivers test and had his day light only license. 1. Water Treatment. For the eye bath the temperature of the water should be as cold as the sensitive eyeball can stand, but not cold enough to cause serious discomfort. A few grains of salt may be added to make the water slightly saline. a) Submerge forehead and eyes in a basin of water, open and close the lids under water from six to eight times. Repeat a few times. Fill a glass or aluminum eyecup (which can be bought in any drug store or department store) with water, bend the head forward and press the cup securely against the eye; then bend backward and open and shut the lid a number of times. c) Bend over a stream of water running from a faucet or over a large dish containing cold water of natural temperature as it comes from the hydrant or well; then scoop up the water in the hollow of the hands and throw it into the open eyes, at the same time move the eyeballs sideways in circular or up and down motion. This is done in order to permit the water to reach all parts of the eyeball equally. The cold bathing is continued until the eyes cease smarting and perfect reaction is established. This may require about a minute. 2. Massage and Vibratory Treatment. We have learned in other parts of these volumes that massage has very much the same effect upon the circulation of the blood, lymph and nerve currents as hydropathic treatment. It stirs up the pathogenic deposits in the tissues and actually squeezes them into the lymphatic and venous circulation, thus allowing a free inflow of the red arterial blood with its freight of life sustaining oxygen and other elements of nutrition. Like the cold water, it stimulates the flow of the sluggish, pathogen laden lymph and venous blood towards the heart and the organs of elimination. Another very important effect of the massage of the eyes lies in the fact that it makes the eyeball more elastic and resilient, thereby correcting abnormal depressions and inequalities of the surface; in other words, it rounds the eyeball more perfectly. This is a simple and natural way of curing astigmatism, which the oculist tries to overcome by specially ground lenses. It is easily to be seen which of these methods is the more natural and rational. The one endeavors to overcome a symptom; the other removes the cause and actually corrects the abnormal condition. Both massage and hydropathic treatment, aside from their mechanical effects upon the circulation, nutrition and drainage, also arouse and stimulate the latent electromagnetic energy. This, together with a more liberal supply of alkaline mineral elements in food and drink, raises the positivity of the organism, which means greater vitality and recuperating power The best massage movements adapted for the eye treatment are the following: 3. Massage Movements. (a) Kneading. In order to execute this movement, press the eyeballs out of their sockets with the tip of one or two fingers of each hand. Continue this until the eyeballs have received a thorough kneading, as far back in the sockets as possible. You need not be afraid of injuring the eyes by this treatment unless you exert undue or excessive force. Vibrating. Vibrate the eyeball all over its surface as far as you can reach it, first with one, then with two and lastly with three fingers—the thumb, forefinger and middle finger brought to a point. The movement is executed by a quick vibratory motion of the hand in the wrist joint It may require some practice before perfect vibratory motion is attained, but when once acquired it is very beneficial for the purposes described in this treatise. After thoroughly vibrating the eyeball for about a minute, finish with the stroking movements. c) Stroking. This movement is executed by stroking the eyeball, first gently, then gradually more and more strongly, with one and later two finger tips. The stroking proceeds over the upper and lower lids from the inner corners of the eyes outward; then reverse and stroke from the outer corner of the eye in a half circular motion to the inner corner. These movements also are repeated from a dozen to two dozen times, according to the endurance and time available. The stroking is applied first gently and with gradually increasing pressure until the eyeball has become seemingly insensible. As before stated, none of these treatments, if executed with a little care and common sense, can possibly inflict any injury. Although the mechanism of the eye is very complicated and highly sensitive, it is at the same time very tough and resilient. Cures of serious eye troubles which are little short of miraculous have been effected by this simple treatment. If faithfully applied at least twice a day, or, if possible, in conjunction with the general regimen for natural living and with neurotherapy, it will do away in a great many cases with the necessity for the wearing of glasses, and will preserve excellent eyesight under strenuous usage, even to extreme old age. 4. Eye Gymnastics. After the eyes have recovered sufficiently from the cold bathing, practice eye gymnastics. Stand erect, or if too weak assume a comfortable relaxed position in a chair, then move the eyes upwards and downwards, as far as the mobility of the eyeballs will permit, along an imaginary vertical line on the wall opposite you. Repeat this from twelve to twenty-four times. Then in like manner move the eyeballs as far as you can force them from right to left and left to right on an imaginary horizontal line in front of you on a level with your eyes. Move the eyeballs in similar manner diagonally from the highest point on the fight to the lowest point on the left, and then reverse. Finally roll the eyeballs in circular motion from fight to left and then from left to right. Each one of these movements should be repeated from twelve to twenty-four times, according to the time at your disposal. The special value of these eye exercises lies in the fact that the movements of the eyeball are regulated by four sets of muscle which pull the eyeball upward; downward, to the right and to the left. Recipe: Combine 1 oz of SENSATION MASSAGE Oil with 25 drops of Certified EC-AFNOR Standard FRANKINCENSE essential oil in a small glass bottle. Apply a few drops 3x daily to eye sockets in ‘raccoon’ circles around eyes sockets – on the bony orbs. Verify improvement with your optometrist within 30-90 days. I have been using organic coconut oil directly on my eyeball for a condition ( s Syndrome ) I have in which I burn from any chemical exposure in the air. It has sharpened my vision dramatically within the first week, actually , so sharp that the contrast wa hard on my eyes,and I have had professional eyecare doctors examine my eyes since I have begun doing it. The c.o. keeps my cornea moist since I wasn't at the time making lipids. I had been doing this regularly throughout the day, and now I only do it whenever I get burned.I also put the coconut oil up my nostrils and turned upside down to let it eventually come out the ducts for my eyes. When I am exposed to any chemical, even windex as far as 40ft away, I burn. So I use the coconut oil for the inflammation and it also keeps away fungal and bacterial infections. I do advise though, if you put it in your eyes, to also use a hot moist rag on your eyes for 10 minutes to aid the c.o. in opening the tiny pores along the edges of your lids. The c.o. healed much scarring within my lids. I am very thankful to have this as I may not use any eye drops including saline solution. I tried this approach after a crisis I had with my eyes , and noone was able to help me because of my chemical sensitivity. I ended up trying it on myself and I was so greatful days later, when someone so kind on this forum told me that they had put coconut in their eyes before and mentioned Dr. Fife's book. Unfortunately , it was too late for me to read his book before trying it as I wasn't able to see. So one of these days, I will have the opportunity to read his wonderful book containing his knowledge of coconut oil. As of late, I have perfect vision unless I am exposed , which happens chronically. I want you to know I also keep the c.o. on my face at all times, as my face was burned charred black from the SJS allergic reaction. Today, I have no scars. The c.o. adds a layer of protection against the oxidized chemicals which often cause me severe pain . I would think this would be wonderful protection for everyone's delicate skin. Please, remember to stay out of the sun..especially when taking prescription and non prescription medications.. Many herbs can make one photosentitive also. Ophthalmologist Norbert J. Becquet, M.D., of Little Rock, Arkansas, reported to the American Academy of Medical Preventics (AAMP) in May 1980 that he had great success using DMSO in treating cataracts and other eye problems. "I've treated two hundred patients in the last year for macular degeneration, macular edema, and traumatic uviitis, " Dr. Be. Becquet said. "I instill 5 mg of DMSO in one cc of normal saline placed retrobulbar under Tenon's capsule behind the equator or to wherever the area of activity is. Strictly for cataracts, all we need do is put one drop of DMSO directly into the eyeball." Other AAMP physicians told of instilling one drop of a solution consisting of 25 mg of DMSO with 2 cc of superoxide dismutase (SOD) once or twice a day for clearing cataracts and glaucoma. Dr. Becquet said, "In using DMSO, glaucoma drugs and potentiated, including those required for treating wide-angle glaucoma. But DMSO alone is better for muscular degeneration. In dropping it, we may combine 5 mg of 2 cc DMSO with 5 mg of 2 cc SOD for a 4 cc solution." The first clue to the possible efficacy of DMSO in retinal disease, variously called deterioration, degeneration, dystrophy and abiotrophy, all non-inflammatory types of disturbances of the retina, was discovered inadvertently. The retina is the part of the eye that is sensitive to light, a delicate film covering about two-thirds of the inner surface of the eyeball. It is closely attached to an underlying layer, the choroid. Some patients with retinitis pigmentosa, a retinal disease, who were taking DMSO treatment for certain musculoskeletal disorders, sensed that their vision had improved while they were taking the drug. The patients told this to V. Hill, M.D. of the University of Oregon Medical School, and he undertook a preliminary investigation into the effectiveness of DMSO in the treatment of retinal diseases. "Such an investigation was begun after one patient suffering from retinitis pigmentosa had a rather spectacular recovery of vision after treatment with DMSO," Dr. Hill explained to the Science Writers Research to Prevent Blindness seminar in Los Angeles in February 1973. "At the time his DMSO treatment was started this patient could see hand motion only with his right eye and had a visual acuity of 20/200 (Snellen) in his left eye. Five days later (Feb. 15, 1972), his vision was measured with 20/70+1 in the left eye, and he could count fingers at five feet with his right eye. Three months later, his visual acuity was 20/50 in the left eye. "An additional fifty patients with retinal deteriorations (mascular degenerations as well as retinitis pigmentosa) were then treated similarly with DMSO, and the subjective evidence gathered was still encouraging." continue Dr. Hill. "This subjective evidence consisted of improved or stabilized visual acuity, improved or stabilized visual fields, and improved night vision. (It is considered 'subjective' because it requires subjective responses from the patient.) Of the fifty patients treated with DMSO, twenty-two improved in dark adaptation. Two patients have continued to regress, and the rest have had no measurable or personally noted changes in vision.

Hi,

 

   After reading info roundup, I had tried regimen of coconut water, cs, dmso

for one and half week and I felt my eyes became more and more burry and

immediately stopped. Does anybody have this negative impact on eyes?   By the

way, I have mild case of cataract on my left eye.  

 

    Just came across a book called American Cancer Society complete guide to

Complementary and Alternative Cancer therapies and I looked the index of DMSO

and it repeated twice about DMSO's possible ability to harm the eyes.Well, I

think it indeed had some negative effect on my eyes.    I wish I got hold of

this book in my library earlier so I defenitely won't add DMSO to my eye

treatment. I think I only put one drop DMSO to one oz of other coconut

solution.  Now I am trying to search some ways helping to reverse/improve my

burry eye sights. Does anybody have information about any good eye drop to

help the eye sight?.   Helen

Helen, you may want to consider just applying Swedish Bitters to the eyelids

several times a day. This, I understand, is often recommended by Scandinavian

doctors re cataracts.

The other suggestion is to consider Can-See (EyeBrite) eye drops. They are

costly, but were formulated by an eye specialist, I believe who initially was

trying to help his father. I have a friend who still is teaching at 89 years

young who claims she successfully used these drops. Me, I use the Swedish

Bitters.

Hi,

After reading info roundup, I had tried regimen of coconut water, cs, dmso

for one and half week and I felt my eyes became more and more burry and

immediately stopped. Does anybody have this negative impact on eyes? By the

way, I have mild case of cataract on my left eye.

Just came across a book called American Cancer Society complete guide to

Complementary and Alternative Cancer therapies and I looked the index of DMSO

and it repeated twice about DMSO's possible ability to harm the eyes.Well, I

think it indeed had some negative effect on my eyes. I wish I got hold of

this book in my library earlier so I defenitely won't add DMSO to my eye

treatment. I think I only put one drop DMSO to one oz of other coconut solution.

Now I am trying to search some ways helping to reverse/improve my burry eye

sights. Does anybody have information about any good eye drop to help the eye

sight?. Helen

Have you tried the coconut water on its own and are you using water from

fresh young coconuts? When I saw this mentioned and passed it on I didn't

suggest adding anything at all to this treatment.

Homeopathic Eyebright ( Euphrasia) low potency, say - 6x is meant to help

all aspects of eye problems and Calc Fluor is a cataract remedy @ 12x.

Heh,

" American Cancer Society complete guide to Complementary and

Alternative Cancer therapies "

Gee, I wonder if there'd be any bias here.

FWIW, my personal formula for eyedrops contains about 10% DMSO, and

I've been using it for more than a decade.

Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried.

That is not proven in humans. And the ONE study in dogs was for 4 months

at high

concentration. It was reported to have produced some corneal opacity.

Again these

results were never duplicated or confirmed so subject to disinformation

by pharma.

Good science is repeated in different labs for confirmation before being

accepted as

proven. The fact that in 30 years this study has not been repeated

speaks volumes.

Believe what you will but if you used it for just a short time in

recommended

concentrations and have not confirmed that you are experiencing corneal

opacity

where you had none before then you are making some broad assumptions.

Many here have used DMSO in their eyes repeatedly including myself with no

problems.

I sure hope it was just my vague assumption.   I do no intend discoraging

people not trying out Coconut water eye regimen.  I will go back to check my

eyes doctor in the near future.   I am 64 year old near-sighted but have no

problem reading.  I just felt all suddently I could not read clearly.  Or may

be I have questionable solution of CS or DMSO.  I have good silver generator

from Utopia.  I tested freshly made CW reading at 0.11 but when the time wore

on couple of weeks the reading went up to 0.17.  Two other plastic containers

of my CW reading were 0.24.  The color of CW trun light yellow to brownish. No

idea what's going on with my CW.   My DMSO 99.8% was about one year old on my

shelf in plastic.  I used freshing brought young coconut water.  Anyway, I am

chicken to try it out again and am planning to treat my eyes that other members

suggested.  Helen
