recurring bouts of PINK EYE or CONJUNCTIVITIS

[Guest guest]

Hi All..

 

I've been getting some sort of recurring pink eye/conjunctivitis over

the past year. It's almost always in the left eye. Doesn't seem to be

bacterial (not " crusty " ) but perhaps viral(?) I've had around 8 bouts

of this in the last year, getting more frequent as of late (about every

10 days or so). I have no idea why I'm getting this. I really take care

of myself, and have been a health nut for many years. I wonder about

possible allergy as a cause..? But it's quite painful and seems more

like the old " cold in the eye " that I had as a child a few times.

 

Any input would be appreciated!

Perhaps eyebright or triphala eyewashes would work.

If you where a female I would recommend throwing away eye makeup, do you have

pets? Animals can get conjunctivitis, even birds.

I'm a little wounded, but I am not slain; I will lay me down to bleed a while.

Then I'll rise and fight again.

Michael,

 

I don't know how much Sun you get but there is a syndrome called " Springtime

Conjunctivitis " ....can happen anytime in the late Winter or early Spring.

Vitamin D always keeps mine at bay. I have to take up to 6 capsules daily

to keep eyes from swelling, Do as soon as you realize eyes are being weird

Would help to get 20 minutes of Sun daily and or take extra D to

prevent this.

I have read that colloidal silver works for pink eye whether it is viral or

bacterial, and my family has used it with success.

Yes.. I bought some capsules with eyebright, goldenseal, bearberry

etc and made an infusion (tea) with it, then dropped a few drops in

my eye. I'm all better now. But I can't prve if I was healing anyway

or what. But I really think it did the trick. I'm also taking the

caps internally.

 

Thanks

I think with allergic onjunctivitis, usually both eyes are involved.

And there's more itchiness...right?

I get lots of sun in the summer, but almost none in winter. But I do

take plenty of vitamin D. So I doubt if I'm short on D. And, I was

getting this last summer already. But I do wonder if sunshine still

wouldn't be good for the eyes...

 

Thanks,

Have you tried using colloidal silver?

It's always worked for me.

I went to doctors, took their prescription allergy med of the day, threw

away all my make up and no matter what it arrived in the spring or sometimes

January....the swollen, itching eyes....the med helped minutely but the Sun

was the only answer. Now I take 6,000 IU of Vit. D3 a day....no swollen

eyes .....it took many years of this recurrance before I got the message.

 

A doctor gives vit D2 in units of 50,000 .....not for eye symptoms but for

hyper/hypo parathyroid that keeps bones from being robbed of calcium.

 

Personally I am grateful for the answer I have found because I do live

indoors and do not get the required amount of Sun per day that I should have

 

 

Try it you will prove it for yourself.

 

My best,

Veronica
