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??

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
