Answer 1

Hi Piti

Here are some answers and remedies.

Causes of Macular Degeneration
Although macular degeneration is often considered a natural consequence of aging, there is nothing natural about it. Rather, it is most often caused by poor diet and nutritional deficiencies, impaired digestive function, environmental toxins, smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke, and regular exposure to ultraviolet light. Heavy metal toxicity should also be considered in the case of macular degeneration. All of these factors result in free radical damage and impaired circulation, both of which pose serious threats to the overall health of the eyes.

Macular degeneration can also occur as a result of pre-existing health conditions, including arteriosclerosis and high blood pressure. The use of pharmaceutical drugs can also cause macular degeneration, as well as other types of vision problems. These include antidepressants, antihistamines, blood pressure medication, diuretics, oral contraceptives, steroids, chlorpromazine, digoxin, ethambutol, gold (used to treat arthritis and lupus), haloperidol, hydroxychloroquine sulfate, and tetracycline.

Natural Cures

Aromatherapy: The following essential oils can help to relieve stress and tension, which can contribute to or exacerbate glaucoma: bergamot, jasmine, lavender, rose, sandlewood, and ylang ylang.

Ayurveda: According to Ayurvedic theory, most vision problems are due to digestive disorders. Emphasis is given to regular eye exercises, as well as the use of the herbs amla, licorice, and triphala, and a diet rich in organic, whole food with abundant quantities of antioxidant rich vegetables such as carrots and spinach.

Color Therapy: This form of healing has been in use since the times of ancient Egypt. It involves the use of specific colors to either calm or stimulate the eyes and surrounding muscles, blood vessels, lymph glands, etc. Magenta light emitted from a magenta screen placed over a light bulb helps to stimulate the entire macular region of the eyes, while blue-green light helps to enhance the flow of lymph in the eyes to improve the elimination of cellular debris. Green-yellow light can also be used to improve overall visual acuity, and is also helpful for nightblindess.

Diet: Emphasize a diet of organic, whole foods, with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Antioxidant vegetables include bell peppers, carrots, celery, parsley, spinach, tomatoes, yellow squash, and dark-green leafy vegetables, such as chard, collards and kale. Fruit high in anti-oxidants include berries, especially the dark rich colored berries, purple and red grapes, plums, cherries, mangos, melons and citrus fruit. Organic egg yolks are also recommended because they are rich in carotenoids, an important class of antioxidants. It is best to eat soft, rather than hard cooked egg yolks to preserve the heat sensitive valuable carotenoids. Soft boiled, poached, sunny side up, or raw eggs are best.

Raw eggs may be eaten if they come from a reliable organic source and are washed prior to cracking. Samonella travels on the shell of the egg and enters the egg from the outside, so washing eggs with hot sudsy water minimizes exposure.

Avoid all processed and fried foods, sugar and sugar products, refined, simple carbohydrates, alcohol, and unhealthy hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils. Milk and dairy products should be consumed sparingly, and preferably raw and organic. Avoid conventional flesh foods and overcooked/grilled meats. In addition, test for food allergies and sensitivities and eliminate those foods that test positive.

Also be sure to drink plenty of pure, filtered water throughout the day, at least half your body weight in ounces, to help flush out accumulated debris in the eye drainage channels. Proper hydration is also essential for maintaining the suppleness of the eyes` lenses. Fresh raw green juices are also an important addition to one`s daily food plan. See the recipe section for green juice suggestions.

Eye Exercises: The following eye exercises are useful for preventing and reversing most types of vision problems.

Rest your eyes for five minutes every 30 to 60 minutes, relaxing your gaze and staring into space.
Blink your eyes regularly. This reduces eyestrain.
Take regular breaks throughout the day to breathe deeply for a few minutes, coupled with neck and shoulder stretching. This helps to ensure that your eye muscles receive adequate amounts of oxygen.
To further reduce facial tension, yawn in an exaggerated fashion. Doing so helps to stretch and relax your facial muscles.
Cover your eyes with you palms for five minutes and breathe deeply. Do this every one to two hours.
Spend 20 to 30 minutes each day rapidly switching your focus from near to far. An easy way to do this is to hold your finger six to eight inches from your eyes. Focus on it for a moment, then focus on an object in the distance. Keep changing your focus from near to far. This is an excellent way to exercise your eye muscles.
Roll your eyes all the way up and down in a full circular motion for five minutes, three to five times a day.
Pin a sheet of reading material to the wall and read it from two feet away (or closer if you need to). Each day, step further away from the wall. With regular practice, you will eventually be able to read the same material from across the room. If you are nearsighted, reverse this process, starting as far away from the sheet of paper as you need to be, then slowly moving closer each day until you are able to read it standing only a few inches away.
Flower Essences: To help deal with unresolved mental or emotional factors that can contribute to glaucoma, the following remedies can be helpful: Aspen—to ease general fears, Clematis—if you tend to avoid your problems by "living in a dream world", Honeysuckle—for those who avoid the challenges of the present by becoming nostalgic for the past, and Rescue Remedy—for cases of acute glaucoma.

Herbs: The following herbs can be very helpful for preventing and slowing the progression of cataracts: bilberry, curcumin, gentian root, grapeseed extract, ginkgo biloba, and pine bark extract (pycnogenol). Juice Therapy: Drink 16 ounces of carrot juice and/or carrot juice combined with fresh squeezed celery, cucumber, parsley, and spinach in two divided doses (eight ounces per serving) each day.

Lifestyle: Avoid eyestrain by refraining from working at computer terminal or reading for long periods of time. Also refrain from watching television of movies in the dark, as well as spending prolonged periods in darkness. In addition, avoid exposure to secondhand smoke and, if you smoke, stop. When outside on sunny days, wear sunglasses that protect against both UVA and UVB ultraviolet rays.

To help prevent and relief eye pressure, regularly engage in mild aerobic exercises such as jogging, brisk walking, and rebounding (jumping on a mini-trampoline).

Micro-Current Therapy: Micro-Current Therapy is recommended by Grace Halloran, Ph.D., founder of the Integrated Visual Healing Center, in San Leandro, California. It involves the use of micro-currents administered along meridians in order to stimulate the eye muscles and improve the circulation of the eyes` surrounding blood vessels. Micro-Current Therapy is non-invasive and can be self-administered after proper training, using devices such as the MicroStim.

Nutritional Supplementation: Useful nutrients include vitamin A, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin E, alpha-lipoic acid, beta-carotene, betaine hydrochloride, chromium, digestive enzymes, flavonoids, lutein, magnesium, N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), riboflavin, rutin, selenium, taurine, zeaxthanin, and zinc. DHA or omega-3 oils, such as fish oil, are also advised.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): According to TCM theory, most vision problems are due to diminished liver function. To restore healthy liver function, TCM practitioners combine acupuncture with dietary changes and traditional Chinese herbs, such as ginkgo biloba and ginseng.

Alternative Professional Care
The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for preventing and treating cataracts: Acupressure, Acupuncture, Bodywork (Alexander technique, Feldenkrais, Reflexology, Rolfing, Shiatsu, and Therapeutic Massage), Craniosacral Therapy, Chiropractic, Detoxification Therapy, Environmental Medicine, with a focus on heavy metal detoxification, Chelation Therapy, Magnetic Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, and Osteopathic Medicine.

Best of health to you

Cheers

Answer 2

Thirty two years after its last outbreak in India, chikungunya is back. A relatively rare viral fever with dengue-like symptoms, chikungunya has been sweeping Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra. In the last three months, the official count of the affected has climbed to a staggering 1.5 lakh people and Health officials concede that figures on the ground may be higher. Caused by an alphavirus spread through bites from the Aedes Aegypti mosquito - the same mosquito behind dengue - chikungunya is not considered fatal. But 77 deaths since 2005 on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion have been linked to chikungunya. Health officials in Delhi said the last outbreak in the country was reported in 1974. "The virus must have been silent but it has made a comeback," said an official. Chikungunya, which has dengue-like symptoms of very high fever and rash, is highly contagious and disabling. The name itself is Swahili for "that which bends up", a reference to the positions those afflicted are forced to take because of pain in the joints. In recent months, chikungunya has been striking the Indian Ocean region. Its outbreak has been reported from Mayotte, Mauritius and Seychelles. Countries like France, Germany, Italy, Norway and Switzerland have reported importing cases, courtesy people returning from these islands. A mixed outbreak of chikungunya with dengue was reported from Andhra Pradesh between December 2005 and February 2006. The virus was isolated by Pune's National Institute of Virology in March but the figures have been rising ever since. Latest figures show over 30,000 cases in Andhra (Tirupati is the worst hit); over 70,000 in Karnataka (17,000 cases in Gulbarga alone); and, now it has struck Maharashtra with Malegaon, Nashik, Jalgaon reporting many cases. Health officials said mosquito-control is the only way to fight chikungunya. Health Ministry teams have already been sent to the states and the National Institute of Communicable Diseases is monitoring the situation. While supportive, palliative medical care with anti-inflammatories and analgesics is available, there is no specific treatment for chikungunya. It is usually self-limiting, disappearing with time.
