Theres a skin care thread, now an eye care advice for your eye experiences or what helped you. I was watching a series on dehydration, and the doctor said smoke that gets in the eyes are not good. She interviewed a 69 year old woman with macular degeneration who was healed.


Prov. 3.7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and turn away from evil. 8It will be healing to your body And refreshment to your bones.…
Proverbs 20:12 - The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.
 
Just read an article about an exercise that is probably bad for Glaucoma. The exercise is four positions of Yoga that put the head in a lower position to the body and thus increases ocular pressure. The positions are: downward facing dog, standing forward bend, plow, and legs up the wall. The pressure goes away for those without Glaucoma fairly quickly, but for Glaucoma victims it remains high a lot longer.
 
Thanks for that crusty. I sometimes jsut hit a quick Like, when wanting to return to/reply to a post but unable to at the time. Let me share this little bit. Sometime somewhere, i read that when ampalaya/charantia is overripe and u cannot cook it, before throwing away or planting, one can pull out the seeds, wc are now wrapped in red material wc used to be white when not ripe.. that is full of lutein and if u care to can suck on the seeds for this lutein than always relying on the pills=).

If anyone is suffering from cataracts and an operation is not an option, you might try Vision Clarity eye drops by Life Vitality. I could probably have an operation, but I started the eye drops a year ago when the cateracts first started and they haven't gotten any worse and may have gotten better. A nice side benefit of the drops is that I no longer have floaters in my eyes. It's the N-acetylcarnosine that does the job. What the instructions don't tell you is that you need to take one drop, four times a day to be effective. My situation is not a good test, as I am forever forgetting to take the drops all four times a day. If you buy six boxes, two small bottles per box and each bottle has to be used within 30 days after opening, the price is about $139, and they last about a year.

The warty gourd is edible when green (and cooked) but turns toxic when orange ripe. It then splits characteristically into three parts, revealing red arils (fleshy seed covers). The ripe seeds inside the arils and orange flesh of the gourd are toxic and can make one violently lose fluids from both ends, and induce abortions. The red arils around the seeds, however, are edible. And notice this: The arils are 96% lycopene, which gives them their color. Just remember to spit out the seed from each aril.

Someone shared this:
My eye care consists of taking a vitamin supplement containing lutein. I do not take actual medication for it. Because I have a very slow recovery from light to darker environments, I used to always wear sunglasses which did help a lot, but later I found that an orange lens is much better than standard sunglasses. It is like skiiers tend to have in their goggles. Some use yellow, but my optometrist advises me that the orange is best. I wear them eveywhere. I even wear them when I sit in the front room when the sun is coming through the curtains. As for low blood sugar, I have that fairly well controlled with diet.

People who have macular degeneration should never take cipro, the antibiotic. All should be certain to ask their doctors, ophtamologist, about any antibiotics before taking them. Rest the eyes whenever possible and necessary.

Yellow vegetables are good, including the orange ones like carrots. Actually a balanced diet is probably the best bet for anyone. Since online we exchange info with people from varied parts of the globe, each should have a good idea of what their local balanced diet should consist of.

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise ...
To keep them open for so long?

I'm glad some tips help. I will review/adjust however, bec. whenever we read or learn of some things, they try to grab our attention (again and again). One says, take acv first thing in the morning.. another says vco, a glass of water... still another take a deep breath outside, massage around the eyes... when we need to call upon the Lord first from the rising of the sun...
 
Here is something i found when searching on restasis, that common eye drop. A while (weeks) ago i also read something from some naturopaths abt using castor oil to prevent cataracts or glaucoma. Since we never were really acquainted w/ castor, unlike coconut oils and efficascent oils, i am not that comfortable suddenly using things we did not grow up with. And then i discover cstor oil is one of the ingredients of restasis, wc purports to be good for our eyes, but has a negative comment here below. Maybe it is better using plain castor oil?

Restasis – what your ophthalmologist might not have told you:
Allergen, the manufacturer of Restasis, conducted a compulsory trial before it went on the market. Only15 per cent of participants reported increased tear production. The very fact that the results of its self-funded FDA clinical trial revealed improvements in just 15 per cent of participants (compared with 5 per cent that reported improvements after the use of a placebo) is staggering. It reveals a net result of improvements for just one in ten participants. This is hardly what one would call an ‘effective’ treatment.
Restasis is not truly fit for mass prescription, and certainly should not be marketed as though it is.
Restasis, an immunosuppressant with significant side effects, earns Allergen hundreds of millions in profit each year, which may be motive enough for its mass prescription to people unaware of its shortcomings. Why treat a disease when there's a good chance something artificial will keep this growing number of people symptomatic?
The FDA Restasis trial concluded with the admission that cyclosporine, which is the active ingredient in Restasis, is ‘thought’ to act as a partial immunomodulator. The drug trial was not comprehensive, and concluded with the confession that “the exact mechanism of action is not known.”
 
Doc recently gave eye supplements, for the eyes get starved also when we do not feed as they need he said, not just eye drops or eyeglasses. I asked abt certain eye exercises, but missed to ask abt this.. has anyone heard or tried? Someone said to get one, but idk if i wont be wasting money on this, so if anyone has tried or thinks it's worth trying... can u tell? thanks a lot.
