Update on eyes


Cliff Beckwith
 

Hi,

I have been asked to summarize what we have been playing with concerning
eyes and flax oil.

There is nothing here that is any guarantee and nothing that we have read
or have followed.

Quite a while ago, my cousin Rich told me he had been having trouble seeing
enough to drive at night. Having great faith in the ability of flaxseed oil
to help about any condition involving poor health, Rich began to put it in
his eyes.

I am hazy about the length of time it took, but before long his night vision
had improved greatly. I tried it a little and it seemed to help me.

Just as an observation, I put that info on the flaxseed oil group.

Before long some other folks emailed the group and told of this approach
helping them.

One lady said that it had helped her, but it had helped her neighbor more.
The neighbor had macular degeneration and lost her driver's license, and now
she had it back.

Another lady said that she had faced cataract surgery and put a drop of oil
in each eye at night and the cataracts cleared up.

Monday, October 1st, I had a yearly eye exam. Six or seven years ago I had
a "bleeder" in the retina of my right eye. That is something about which
there is very little that can be done. It did not clear by itself after a
few years and the doctor recommended laser surgery to drain the blood and
prevent blindness. By that time the "bleeder" had rerouted but the dried
blood was still there.

The laser surgery had caused me to be unable to see much in my right eye
and I could not read with both eyes open. This is a problem.

The sight had been growing steadily worse and more "cloudy". I attributed
this to the laser.

During the examination the doctor discovered that there was a dense
cataract. He said my sight in that eye, though not perfect anyway, could
perhaps be helped by cataract surgery. I wasn't interested because I don't
use it much anyway.

Then I remembered the lady who had cleared cataracts with flaxseed oil. I
talked with the doctor about it. He asked me what literature I had read and
I told him that there was no literature but we might be making it. He is
quite interested and if this works he said he will write it up in a journal
or two, and it it was rejected he would at least write a letter to the
editor.

During the exam I could only make out the big E with my right eye. Any of
the rest was virtual darkness. Twelve days after that and regular use of
drops of flax oil in my eye my wife went for new glasses. They weren't
right and we will go again this week. However, the technician put the eye
chart on and I can already make out some letters in the next size smaller.
I can now use my right eye alone and read a lot of the TV commercials. The
"cloud" is still there but seems much less dense.

During the exam, Jenny, the tecnician who did the examination with the chart
told me that she had an aunt in Texas who cleared cataracts with Flaxseed
oil.

The technician is also very interested. She told me that her aunt in Texas
had cleared cataracts with flaxseed oil. She did not tell me how she had
used it.

If this cataract is cleared I may again be able to read with both eyes open.
I am hardly daring to believe this can be possible, but somewhat excited
nevertheless.

What I have written is not a recommendation. I do not know what will
happen. It is simply an account of what has happened.

The Opthamologist has assured me that there can be no danger in doing what I
am doing. I would say that if any tries this one should use the golden oil
from the top of a bottle before it is mixed up in the case of Lignan Rich
oil.

Regards

Cliff

Update:

Today, October 22, we returned to the Caenter for Sight in Jefferson City to
pick up my wife's glasses.

The Technician there put up the chart and I could see the second size
letters significantly more clearly than I could 8 days ago. The cataract
seems to be clearing. Oct 1 the sight in that eye was 20 -- 400. Today, 21
days later, it is 20 --200.

If the trend continues another month should see things better than that,
though because of the laser damage to the retina it will never be perfect.

Cliff,

May I have your permission to forward your posting below to the
newsgroup sci.med.vision? There are a lot of vision professionals over
there, and we might learn something from them. I could remove the
headers if you wish, although it surely would not hurt for people to
hear about the FO group?

That would be fine. Leave the headers on. I would love to hear what they
have to say.

I think this is hilarious. Anything I put on I am happy to have spread.

OK. The post will go out with this one.

Anyone interested will find the thread entitled 'Flaxseed oil and eye
improvements' on the newsgroup sci.med.vision

I will forward anything interesting back to here.
