Guest guest Posted January 5, 1980 Report Share Posted January 5, 1980 Thanks for the information. I kept spraying Colloidal Silver in my eyes and it went away. I have been getting sensitive to makeup/face cleansers/hair spray/commercial shampoos for a while now. I guess my body finally said enough is enough give me nature. So I went and bought all natural shampoo and facial stuff and its getting better. The rash went away but left my face very dry. So I am using a natural moisturizer on my face. I live out by the Great Salt Lake and I did notice after the Olympics that there is a brown haze everywhere. I guess my skin and body are rejecting that as well. I try to eat mostly vegetarian foods along with drinking plenty of water. I am also going to do a detox this week to rid my body of all the chemicals I recently went off of for my MS. There are so many factors that could cause the reactions and now that I am eliminating the ones I can control it is getting a bit better. The eyes are still kinda itchy but I also have allergies and as I get older they get worse. I am working with a Chinese herbalist to help me balance out many health problems now he has to add one more to the list. lol Thanks again for your help.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 1980 Report Share Posted January 6, 1980 Patricia, I live north of Salt Lake. I drink nettle tea for my hair and arthritis. It helps. I know that the pollution is horrible and the brown ick is still lingering. I have an auto immune disease and sometimes Echinacea doesn't work for me unless I take my tincture which is very strong and only on the onset of infection or colds. I tried it this time but didn't work. The only thing that worked is spraying Colloidal Silver in my eyes and taking 3 tablespoons a day. I have gotten rid of the itches but some mornings it is kinda burning. I also have allergies to dust, weeds and the such. I can manage those most of the time. Not fun but I am trying to get my body to become healthy. Its taking me a while since I am going off all the chemicals the doctors keep wanting to give me. Having MS and the nerve pain gets out of hand some nights but I take a hops/passion flower tincture that I make to handle that pain. I also use arnica cream to help me as well. I am going to try and make my own creams with Colloidal Silver in it to help me . I hear good things about that and I can say it does work. I couldn't believe it when I sprayed it into my eyes and within a few hours the redness, burning and gooey ick was completely gone. I am going to start making my own so I can have it on hand all the time. I hate to pay such a price when it costs less to make it yourself. My extended family are pill poppers and go to the doctors all the time. I try to tell them it will only weaken their defenses but they don't listen. My mother has MS as well and she is on over 20 different pills a day. Both her and my grandmother are addicted to pain meds. I used it very sparingly and I had to be in a great deal of pain in order to take one. I was given a regular prescription of pain pills but in a year only filled it once. My mother runs out of hers before the middle of the month as does my grandmother. Its sad to see them so addicted to chemicals. But I did manage to get my mother to take the hops/passionflower tincture and she did agree it helped but she hates the taste. I could never get my grandmother to even take a vitamin. My grandfather was a pharmacist but he believed in using nature first I only wish my grandmother would have listened to him. Now that he is gone he is no longer there to control her habits. Thanks for the help I do appreciate it. Elise - Patricia herbal remedies Tuesday, March 05, 2002 1:35 PM Re: [herbal remedies] Eye Infections Elise, Where in Utah are you??? I also live in Utah -I live in Eastern Utah in Duchesne. But travel to the SLC area frequently. I also have been having several of the same eye problems - I have put mine down to the weird weather we have had all winter and also the increased pollution due to the Olympics. I think there are lots of allergens in the air. I was forced to resort to Benadryl for s few days as was out of nettles - but have resupplied them and am now drinking nettles tea several times a day and it has helped with the itchy goopy eyes. I would also take Echinacea to boost immune system (I have ragweed allergies and have a problem taking Echinacea) I am hoping that it is just a pollen reaction along with the increased pollution that is the irritant.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2002 Report Share Posted April 30, 2002 Rick, it depends on what is causing the eye stuff. It's much better to be safe than sorry and if you can afford it, go to the opthalmologist. NOT an optometrist. The first is a doctor, the second is someone who test's your eyes to see if you can see. For a while a couple of years ago, my left eye would feel like something was scratching it. Like a pc of sand, an eyelash, whatever. Not hurt, but irritate the heck out of me.Always trying to get 'it' out. Last year, before we got laid off, I went to an opthamologist, who did this and that, turned my eyelid inside out and looked and dyed and pried. Turns out I have herpes of the eyelid. It gets on the inside of my eyelid. This type of herpes is also known as shingles. It's in the same family. I was exposed to chicken pox in 1981, and when that happens to adults that have had CP, they usually get shingles. So, that's what I've got. It breaks out at weird times, not always under stress, just whenever...on the top of my left thigh, always in the same 6 inch square area. And that's what's in my eye. Apparently they are blisters. I did use the meds he gave me for free, Panatol and Zanitor, when I'm desparate, I'll do it. I was. Now, I am going to try a weak chaparral tea, as it's anti-viral, anti-tumor, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory. I know for a fact it's the best pain reliever I've ever found, and I have been using my Herbicine Ointment on the outbreak on my leg, which is the worst it's ever been in 22 yrs. So I will make a weak tea as soon as I'm not working and wash my eye with that. It might help your eye too and I will send you chap if you send me postage, so you can make your own. If anyone is interested, I'll give you a run down on the shingles, and how it's acted with the ointment and what i've been doing. If not, that's ok too, it won't hurt my feelings. ) Janine www.HerbaTherapy.com for eo's & more! Prosperity is simply having enough of God's provision to complete His instructions for your life.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 Janine have you tried Ravensara aromatica and callophyllum inophyllum for the shingles? I have seen it work amazingly well... Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 Hi Michelle, No I haven't. I know what ravensara is, dunno what the other one is. I have been using my Herbicine Ointment, [neem, seabuckthorn, chaparral with eo's] for the past 2 days, it is healing, if that is what's going on, rather quickly. This is the first time in 21 years that it's been this bad, had this much pain and has drained this much or this fast. Right now it looks like it's on the mend, and this is only day 4. So far, I would guess it's the 'HO stuff.' [affectionate nickname for it] <g> Janine www.HerbaTherapy.com for eo's & more!

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 Janine Ravensara has potent antiviral action- calophyllum(foraha,tamanu) is a fatty oil from a tree nut...some comes from Madagascar- it is excellent at wound healing, as it stimulates phagocytosis. The two combined(50/50) have been used in blends for shingles, Chick pox, herpes- and several EO companies market it... (I blend it, too- it is so effective) Glad to hear you are healing- my grandfather had shingles and was in a lot of pain...
