Answer 1

Hi Sherri

Here are some answers and ideas to heal your condition.

Causes of Conjunctivitis
The primary causes of conjunctivitis are allergies, infection, poor diet, nutritional deficiencies, and stress.

The use of pharmaceutical drugs can also cause conjunctivitis, as well as other types of vision problems. These include antihistamines, diuretics, oral contraceptives, steroids, chlorpromazine, digoxin, ethambutol, gold (used to treat arthritis and lupus), haloperidol, hydroxychloroquine sulfate, and tetracycline.


------------------------------...

Natural Cures

Ayurveda: According to Ayurvedic theory, most vision problems are due to digestive disorders. Attention 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.

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.

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.

Nutritional Supplementation: Useful nutrients include vitamin A, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, flavonoids, lutein, N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), riboflavin, selenium, taurine, zeaxthanin, and zinc.

Lifestyle: Avoid rubbing your eyes with your hands and fingertips, especially if your hands are unwashed. Frequent eye rubbing can cause the conjunctiva to become irritated and inflamed, and can also expose your eyes to harmful infectious agents such as bacteria and viruses.

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: Detoxification Therapy, Environmental Medicine, Magnetic Therapy, and Naturopathic Medicine

Answer 2

It depends WHAT type of Conjunctivitis
(pink eye)you have. Basically,there are three types...viral, allergic, and bacterial and each requires different treatment.The viral type is often associated with an upper respiratory tract infection, cold, or sore throat. The allergic type occurs more frequently among those with allergic conditions. When related to allergies, the symptoms are often seasonal. Allergic conjunctivitis may also be caused by intolerance to substances such as cosmetics, perfume, or drugs. Bacterial conjunctivitis is often caused by bacteria such as staphylococcus and streptococcus. The severity of the infection depends on the type of bacteria involved.
Viral and bacterial conjuctivitis is highly contagious. Go to your Dr. for antibiotics etc.
Use a damp cloth to wipe any tears or discharge from your eyes. If you touch any of the discharge (tears,mucous) wash your hands with hot water and an anti-bacterial soap.
To avoid spreading infection, take these simple steps:

· Disinfect surfaces such as doorknobs and counters with diluted bleach solution
Don’t swim (some bacteria can be spread in the water)
Avoid touching the face
Wash hands frequently
Don’t share towels or washcloths
Do not reuse handkerchiefs (using a tissue is best)
Avoid shaking hands
Hope this helps.

Answer 3

I suggest for a pink eye you get a warm or cold cloth & put it on your eye. Warm cloth MIGHT spread to the other eye. Cold cloth will help the best trust me if any of this doesn t help call a doctor and make an appointment and get your prescription.

Answer 4

Yellow Root
If yu don't know what that is, it's a plant that you dig up
the twig like roots, clean em, then boil then in water.
Strain, wash your eyes with it several times during the
day. Works, I used it on my kids, and on myself. As a
matter of fact the whole family uses it. You can also
drink it , but that's another story.

Answer 5

You need to go to the dr. to get opthalmic antibiotics. They're very cheap, even if you don't have insurance.

Even though there are "natural" things you can get to treat conjunctivitis, it's highly recommended that you see a dr. to get specific medications for your eye. Pink eye is HIGHLY contagious. It can also cause secondary infections that won't be treated with natural remedies.

For the sake of yourself and others, go to the doctor ASAP.

Go to the Dr and get meds asap because you can spread pink eye very easy to others. A warm compress will help w/ the itching until you can get meds.
