Stony unforgiveness. Pressure from long standing hurts. Overwhelmed by it all. I see with love and tenderness.

"In glaucoma the pressure in the eyeball gets too high, putting pressure on fragile retina cells that do your seeing. The first question to ask is: 'Is my blood pressure too high?,' because there is a link between high blood pressure and elevated eyeball pressure.         "Your blood pressure should be 120/80. Your doctor may say 140/85 is 'not high.' He or she is kindly refraining from giving you drugs until this level of pressure is reached. ...high blood pressure...reduce it by going off caffeine, checking for cadmium poisoning from your water pipes, and cleansing the kidneys... Even though your doctor has explained how the tiny tube draining your eyeball is too narrow, you should ask: was it not too narrow before high blood pressure struck?       

"Antonia Guerrero, age 51, had glaucoma for five years and was deteriorating rapidly. She cleansed her kidneys, killed parasites and changed her diet to the anti-arthritic one since she also suffered from arthritis in her hands for ten years with painful enlarged knuckles. She didn't get relief from taking aspirin. She got rid of her asbestos toxins by bringing her own hair blower with her to the hairdresser. After seven months  she had pain relief for her arthritis (without aspirin) and her glaucoma was pronounced stable by her ophthalmologist."

"However, there is hope for a more complete and natural cure of glaucoma for some patients. The most well-documented treatment alternative in reducing intraocular pressure is megadoses of vitamin C.  In studies where 5 to 7 g of vitamin C were given up to seven times a day, remarkable decreases in eye pressure were noted. The higher the initial pressure, the more dramatic the pressure reduction. However, even with mildly elevated pressures, significant reductions occurred."

"The good news about glaucoma is that there are natural remedies that can help reduce elevated eye pressure, and in some cases bring it back to normal. Whether you have glaucoma or are at risk of developing the disease, you may benefit greatly from nutrients and supplements.

"It's important to remember that glaucoma is not an inevitable effect of aging and heredity. In Nigeria, where glaucoma has reached epidemic proportions, researchers found that improved nutrition was a much better cure for glaucoma than drugs. In one study, a doctor treated a group of patients by giving them large doses of vitamins A, B, C, and E, as well as additional amounts of protein. For most of these patients, he reports, the eye pressure was reduced to within normal limits within a week.

"Even in the United States, where malnutrition is not the severe problem that it is in Africa, vitamin and mineral deficiencies have been found to contribute to eye abnormalities, including glaucoma. Vitamin C plays a lead role in its prevention and treatment. People with low blood levels of vitamin C have been found to have significantly higher eye pressure than those who took 1,000 mg. of vitamin C daily, in one experimental controlled study, a group of people were given 500 mg. of vitamin C twice a day. After one week, their eye pressure readings were significantly lower, but returned to previous levels one week after vitamin C was discontinued.

 "NATURAL PRESCRIPTION FOR GLAUCOMA

Dr. Richard Schulze, herbalist: "All remedies are listed in order of priority so start with the first formula listed. You may use all of the formula listed at once also. If you start with just one and after a reasonable period of time you do not get the desired results, try the second and third formula recommendations. Continue to use the first formula when adding the second and third formula suggestions. "Please note: I have much hesitation and resistance to writing an index of this type. My fear is that you will take it out of context and try to cure diseases with herbal remedies. Herbal Doctoring rarely works, and even when it does it is only a temporary fix. True healing comes from creating a lifestyle that is healthy. Stopping the things you did that made you sick and beginning new programs of health and wellness.

"My 5 Day Cleansing and Detoxification Program should be done as a foundation to almost every formula, and then repeated every three months for prevention purposes.

"In treating thousands of eye patients, Dr. Robert Ritch of The New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, made an astonishing discovery. Merely loosening certain articles of clothing can drop patients' intraocular pressure by up to 4 points. That's an enormous difference....Want more proof? So did Dr. Ritch. He proceeded to conduct formal tests of his theory on healthy people and those with glaucoma. The phenomenon is very much for real." -

Green Tea Could Reduce Glaucoma Risk

Catechins in green tea could help protect you against glaucoma and other eye diseases. New research finds that the ingredients travel from your digestive system into the tissues of your eyes.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a serious disease affecting the optic nerve.  Over time, the fluid in the eye begins to flow too slowly or stops flowing completely, the pressure inside the eye grows and blood vessels that feed the retina and optic nerve are damaged, causing vision loss and blindness. Higher risk groups include those over 65 and people with Diabetes. It is often not discovered until the condition is fully progressed as there are no early symptoms or effects on vision. There are many possible causes for Glaucoma, but there is some evidence that stress, poor nutrition and a collagen deficiency can be factors.

Natural remedies can be used alongside medical care and may slow the development / prevent the disease and we prioritise the following remedies. 

Germanium increases available oxygen to the eyes and helps to clear congestion, build the dose as per instructions. Organic Germanium is contained in most medicinal herbs & food, in fact the therapeutic power of such herbs may be largely related to the amount of Germanium present. Dr Kazuhiko Asai PhD, (deceased), dedicated himself entirely to the study of Germanium, his passion, commitment and sacrifice have had enormous impact upon many people’s lives.  Whilst it is a fairly long document, the book Miracle Cure – Organic Germanium is recommended reading. Quoting Dr Asai…

“I sometimes am reminded of the blind patients that often came to my office. There were diseases of the retinal blood vessels, such as glaucoma, black cataracts, detached retinas, inflammation of the retina and optic nerves, and without exaggeration, I can say that it was amazing how effective germanium had been. 1 often witnessed scenes where patients wept as they cried out, "Now I can see." Those who could not see would invariably say, ''If 1 could only see again, Doctor, I would give anything. If it were money I would even go into debt to pay for it. I cannot understand the psychology of people who know the joy of seeing, and yet do evil things and are greedy. There can be no greater happiness in the world than being able to see. . .: During the International Angiological Congress, I met a professor of ophthalmology at the State Medical College of Rio de Janeiro. He wrote that using the germanium compound on a patient virtually blind with amaurosis yielded amazingly good results, and that the patient was well on the road to recovery. It had already been verified that germanium rejuvenates retinal vessels, and is therefore effective in treating glaucoma and amaurosis. His letter has added new evidence of its efficacy”.

Jay Cohen, O.D., professor at the State University of New York College of Optometry in New York City states “Studies show that high doses of Vitmain C help draw fluid out of the eye in some way,” he says. “I advise my patients to take supplements of between 1,000 and 2,000 milligrams a day, amounts that would be difficult to get in foods alone.  We recommend Sodium Ascorbate which is the preferred form of vitamin C at one gram twice daily.

Bioflavonoids can reduce the pain and pressure inside the eye and our completely natural herbal formula Circulate Capsules at two or three capsules twice daily will provide a good source of these bioflavonoids’ alternatively Propolis is a good source.

Serrapeptase can be used to relieve the congestion of the fluids in the eye take one (80,000 I.U.) capsule on rising and retiring.

MSM Organic Sulphur


This helps to soften tissues and allow for the correct permeation of fluid through tissues, this can be vital in the case of Glaucoma. MSM powder may be taken both orally and also diluted in water (approx one teaspoon MSM powder dissolved in a cup of water) and drops or eye bath applied to the eyes at least twice daily

Finally, spinach or other green, leafy foods may help reduce your risk for the disease or slow progression, these contain lutein and zeaxanthin, two elements that protect cells from damaging effects of free radicals, and widely recognised as essential for eye health. Alternatively, our New Focus Lutein Formula Spray is a sublingual spray containing Lutein, Zeaxanthin, L-Lysine, Bilberry and Gingko. This is the best product for the delivery of these specific nutrients to the eye. Lutein and Zeaxanthin filter light and serve as potent free radical scavengers for the Retina. L-Lysine and Bilberry help maintain healthy blood vessels. Gingko improves blood flow to the blood vessels in the eye and improves the utilisation of glucose and oxygen, increasing ATP production and preventing vasoconstriction to the brain and retina (and improving memory).  New Focus™ - Lutein Sublingual Spray has 800% more benefit than tablets or capsules. Can improve vision and prevent loss due to Macular Degeneration and other eye diseases.  Recommended dosage: 6-8 sprays per day for the first two months then 3 sprays per day for the next two months and lastly 1 spray per day as a preventative.

It is essential to drink plenty of water and take at least 5mls of Ionic Liquid Minerals and Trace Elements or Mag Sea Ionics for extra magnesium daily in the water. Vitamin A can help to keep healthy eyes and to improve night vision, the best source of this is Cod Liver Oil.
