[Fwd: Re: Re: Coconut water eyes - info roundup]

[Guest guest]

This was on a http://www.herbsfirst.com <http://www.herbsfirst.com/>

newsletter today:

I woke up in the early hours this morning with my eye hurting and

realized that I was getting an ulcer on my cornea which is different

from an eye infection. I have dealt with this problem for many years

and the last time I had this problem was in January & February which

lasted over a three week period. This type of infection is not to be

taken lightly, it is a stabbing pain in the eye along with incredible

sensitivity to light. Being an ulcer it is wears holes in the cornea

and if it is in the line of vision will result in distorted and even

loss of vision. I spent close to $300.00 in doctor bills and eyedrops

last winter and wasn’t getting anywhere until I decided to try the

coconut oil cure.

Coconut oil

<http://www.herbsfirst.com/descriptionsmisc/CoconutOil.html> kills virus

& bacteria and I found then as now that taking it internally will help

the problem quite quickly. When I first realized that I was getting an

ulcer I drank a glass of coconut milk since it is high in coonut oil.

Later when I got up it was still hurting so I popped my oil bottle into

hot water to melt the coconut oil and started taking a tablespoon of oil

about every half hour. After about three doses my eye finally stopped

hurting. I have continued to eat a tablespoon of oil every few hours

throughout the day and will continue to take it for a few days to make

sure the problem is taken care of. Wow, knowing this works has saved me

a lot of money and better yet, saved me the pain I have gone through in

years past when these infections hit me.
