RE:(Lauren) Everyone - Herbal Diuretic

[Guest guest]

Hi Lauren- I did contact him and request his tapes. I have been seeing a

neurologist, a opthamalogist and an opthamalogistsurgeon, an ENT Specialist

as well as my regular MD. My condition is considered to be ideopathic-

meaning that they are not really sure how and why the Cerbral Spinal FLuid

does not reabsorb or is it that is is over producing. I have some theories

from all of the readinga nd research I have done- YEARS OF IT- This

condition strikes 1 in 100,000 people- most of whom are women of child

bearing years who are overweight. Weight loss seems to lessen it- but does

not alleviate it totally. Diamox and Lasix are the only know medicines to

treat it right now.

 

Everyplace in the head/skull is encase with BONES- the only soft spot for

the fluid to build is behind the eyes and hence pushes on Discs/Nerves.

 

There are Several names for my condition:

 

PseudoTumor Cerebri or

Ideopathic Intercranial Hypertension

 

The effects mimic a brain tumor. I have had several MRIs, Cat Scans,

Neurologic Testing, Seriologic Testing, Venuos (Vein Scans) To rule out any

physical lesions/masses/bumps.

 

This condition is self limiting- No one has ever died from it - however- a

great number has gone blind from it. The pressure on the Vitreous of the eye

cause visual loss -Vitreous is basically jelly like vessels full of blood.

 

I am looking for powerfull herbal diuretic and herbs that are meant for eye

health - that help with clotting / blood circulation. To keep the yes blood

circulated while it is being compressed by the pressed nerve.

 

In short- Modern Medicine is Garbage - I have studied and re-studied the

modern medice and all of there technical books and information. My condition

is under studied and because I am not at risk of dieing, or major medical

trauma I am treated in the order of the severity of my case- meaning the

people with the crush skulls, brain tumores and very severe problems get the

study and treatment.

 

 

Did I mention that Modern Medicine is Garbage-

The Docs I have seen - I have presented evidence and research to and they

would not look at it. Because I am not qualified to understand and

comprehend what is on teh pages- Because I have no medical training. At one

time- I was told that I had a severe sinus infection and that was causing

the loss of my periferal vison. I know better now- I have had spinal taps

showing my Cerbral Spinal Fluid elevated to 580 - If it were blood pressure

youc ould compare it to 190 / 120 -

Normal spinal pressure should be around 50 to 80-

 

Did I mention Modern Medicine is Garbage?

 

I am somewhat bitter and resentfull - that I have not really got any results

of than being put on a diuretic. I have been poked, prodded and what not-

done everthing they said=Nothing has been done for my visual loss- and If it

were nto for my insurance-wich I pay $275 a month for- I would have some

where in the ball park of 800,000 $$$ in med bills.

I have a friend with the same exact thing and she has a peritoneum shunt that helps her. Through her research she has found that chemicals in her environment where she grew up (Needles, NM) cause this. She has 2 other friends (which she grew up with) with the same condition and one is blind. I wish my friend would be as open and willing to real medicine (naturopathic) as you are.

Hi Lauren-I was offered the option of a shunt but decided the malfuction

rate and effective rate were just too low. The first year - the

effectiveness of the shunt is 55% - after that it goes down 10% every year.

 

Last night I ordered som Bilbbery 300MGs from omnivite- $4.99 + FREE SHIP-

it supposed to be very good for the capillaries in the eyes - I am hoping

that the bilberry will keep my eyes circulated and avoid have a dead spot

where there is visual obstruction - the nerve pushes the disc- pushes the

vitreous and then its all blurry.

 

But I knwo for a facvt that if it stays liek this much longer that section

of the vitreous will die and it will become permanant.

 

I have alwasy been open minded in life- I was one of those people who lived

and died by what the Docs say- and ran to the MD Constatly for this that and

the other. Now I see- that was a mistake- putting all that garbage into my

body at high doses was very toxic. So - not to mention that fact that I am

at a standstill with my PTC- If things don't get better soon- I may have to

consider the shunt- The the failure rate is HIGH.
