Guest guest Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Ellen, how old are you? My natural floaters (I got the bad eye genes) began in my 20's, and have indeed increased after Lyme Disease (ALD!). They aren't easy to get rid of, are intractable. All the Best, Muriel PS I'm 61.... [ ] Stephania root tinctures and floaters Pam, Would you post re your experience with the tincture and floaters? I took capsules of stephania root for a couple of months (not a long time I realize) and didn't see any improvement for the floaters. There also is an enzyme which is supposed to dissolve the floaters, someone on this list referred to it, nanno something, but it is quite expensive so I haven't tried it. I'll be interested to read your experience. ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Ellen, All I did was post saying I was experiencing floaters & I think I asked if Stephania tincture was the thing to take. I haven't taken it at all.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Ellen, The enzyme you are talking about is Nattokinase. But on the biopure site they sell a formula called Rechts Regulat (its German) that is supposed to work better than the Natto. It is a liquid you take orally. My husband started taking it and a nasty wound he had healed amazingly fast. Worth a try. Personally I take both the systemic enzymes (natto, pancreatic,etc.) and the Rechts Regulat. It helps with the micoplasma and the cysts. -- Re: [ ] Stephania root tinctures and floaters Ellen, All I did was post saying I was experiencing floaters & I think I asked if Stephania tincture was the thing to take.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 I am 66 and have had floaters long before Lyme. I don't know if they have gotten any worse with Lyme or not. THEY ARE NORMAL when you get older. Just one of the things we have to put up with in our dying state. And eye doctor years ago told me there is nothing you can do for them. jim. ### Kendel <kendels@...> wrote: Ellen, how old are you?

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Pam I don't know IF Stephania Tincture does ANYTHING for floaters. I have been taking capsules for about 19 months, and recently, a month or so ago, started the tincture too. BUT NOT for floaters, for blurred vision. BUT I don't think it does much for me, either way. I find Devil's Claw to work the best for my vision. Buhner does recommend a decoction eyewash for Lyme with Stephania Root though. I have not tried that as yet. Jim ### Pam Norman <pam_norman@...> wrote: Ellen, All I did was post saying I was experiencing floaters & I think I asked if Stephania tincture was the thing to take.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Hello, This is what I've read/learned about floaters, the causes, and natural remedies. Floaters are commonly found in nearsighted people and people with food allergies and candidiasis. From a Chinese Medicine perspective, floaters are an indication of congestion in the liver. So the theory is that if you strengthen the liver with the proper herbs you indirectly strengthen the eyes. Two herbs which are non-toxic and can be safely taken long-term are Dandelion Root and Milk Thistle. I've been on a combination of both and have seen improvement. BTW, I have tons of floaters. Just my two cents. Thanks -Dave > > Pam, > Would you post re your experience with the tincture and floaters? > > I took capsules of stephania root for a couple of months (not a long > time I realize) and didn't see any improvement for the floaters.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Hi, I have taken Stephania Root tincture, my floaters and streaks got much worse initally-major Herx. They also did when I started my IV antibiotics. It does work for the CNS, as my CAT scan went from covered in tiny lesions to gone after the tincture was used. I still have the bouncy vision, it is not nearly as bad. Someone did mention that I maybe since I went so long undiagnosed that I may have some permanent damage, so maybe they will never fully go away. I like to think everything is going away eventually. I have come to far. Makoce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Hi : Did you get YOUR floaters mainly from Lyme, or is it because of age? I don't have the latter two you described, but I am nearsighted so that must be where I got it from, plus my age, I guess. I do take Milk THistle anyway for part of my Lyme treatment. Were you alluding that the Milk THistle and dandelion were to help for the latter two, or if because of nearsightedness also?

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Let me just add to 's advice that I have been taking Milk Thistle for a year and I pretty much can't get along without it. It has no side effects for the people in my family- just a decrease in symptoms. Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
