Hi Melanie and all,
?
I was debating whether to post this earlier, but now that
I see Melanie's post,
thought I would share that I also ended up with an eye
infection after putting the
flax oil in my eyes.? I let a bottle of Barlean's
high lignan sit in the refrigerator for
two days, then poured a little of it into an eye dropper
bottle that had previously
had echinacea tincture in it and which I had carefully
rinsed, trying to keep everything
as sterile as possible.? On the first night I put one
drop in each eye.? In the morning
both eyes were swollen but I figured/hoped it was probably
from something else.
So I put some in again on the following night.? The
morning after I had a serious
eye infection.??That was the end of the flax oil
in the eyes experimentation for me.
?
Strangely, my wife also put the oil in her eyes the same
two times that I did, and
suffered no ill effects.?? Maybe some people's
eyes just don't like flax oil??

?? From: "melanie" <webemeat@...> Subject: oil in the eyes harmed my neighbor ?
Hello all! I am so frustrated right now! Last
Friday, I had a phone call from my elderly neighbor that I have mentioned before
on this list. (She had put the oil in her eyes one time and said it felt like it
peeled something off and it hurt.) Well, then last week, she tried it again, and
put it in her eyes right before she went to bed. She said that her one eye hurt
so bad after she put it in that she couldn't sleep hardly at all that night.
Then, she woke up and her eye was completely matted shut! And it was full of
infection! She went to a local dr and he referred her to one in a town 45 miles
away, it was that bad!!!!!! I went and saw her Friday night and I just cried and
cried! I still am hurting because I caused her so much pain! She has told
eveyone that she sees what I have done to her, and she knows I feel badly, but I
AM responsible for what happened to her.? Her eye looked TERRIBLE! I have
seen other people do this, right here in my town, and NEVER did I imagine that
it would hurt anyone like it did to her! I am very fortunate that she is not
going to sue me! If it was anyone else, I'm sure I'd be hearing from their
lawyer right now! Her eye dr asked her if she was from Oklahoma, and she said
no, why? He said that when he was practicing there, he would actually have to
did the flax seeds out of people's eyes there! That's pretty wierd, I
thought! ? I'm DEFINATELY NOT blaming anyone here on this list, I just want to let you all learn from my experience, what can happen! I would like to know why this happened to her. ? So, whenever you have someone try something,? BE CAREFUL! I know this stuff has helped way more people than it has hurt, but that's just how it goes for me! I was so confident that it would do her some good! But, that sure back-fired! ? I told Marie that I would pray that her eye will be better than ever after this infection is gone, can anyone join me in that prayer? I thank you all so much! Melanie |
