Hello I have macula oedema following cataract surgery

Does anyone have any ideas, I am using Chinese herbs,they are more of a

liver detox, any ideas that will improve the sight and help with the

dicomfort

I live in the UK

Generally this condition uses combination of anti inflammatory and

steroid drops

Iwould appreciate any suggestions, this complication is quite hard to

clear up

Thanks Shelagh

Try bilberry ,(wild blueberry) tea and eyebright tea mixed half and

half with a pinch of salt and wash your eyes with it. About 4 x a day

should be good.

--- some info for you on catact formation

however note the spinal sublaxation angles

Cataracts

Be sure that you have read carefully the Cayce philosophy page as

missing any one of the principles there could cost you in some form –

we know we have done it.

One of the most important principles outlined by cayce and others

where people are suffering from any condition is to do everything they

can to help others in whatever capacity they can. Cayce frequently

mentioned that this would bring faster results. This is a great

ingredient in helping all people to transmute their own karma. See

other pages on this particularly important treatment.

 

Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness worldwide and believe it

or not over 1.3 million cataract operations are successfully performed

in the United States each year. It seems to affect the aged more and

removal of cataracts is the most common surgery for Americans over the

age of 65.

Cataracts are a progressive clouding of the internal lens of the eye.

This is caused from toxins, which are not being eliminated correctly

in the main. The lens is normally crystal clear and this allows images

to be focused properly on the retina. As the lens ages, this clouding

prevents the image from focusing clearly onto the retina. When

cataract formation progresses and begins to impinge upon the patient's

visual functioning, then treatment is well over due. You will notice

when a cataract is interfering with the vision as difficulty with

reading, excessive glare, difficulty driving, difficulty recognizing

faces; problems with hobbies will be occurring. Seek medical advice

immediately when you notice any change in these problems.

 

Symptoms. Cataracts result in vision loss in one or both eyes.

Cataracts result in glare and frequent changes in glasses required for

best vision. It is not uncommon for patients to experience a loss of

contrast and may experience double vision in one eye with cataracts.

When cataracts interfere with a patient's functioning, common

complaints include difficulty with, reading, excessive glare, night

driving, problems recognizing faces, or difficulty performing hobbies.

 

Diagnosis. A comprehensive eye examination is the only method of

accurately diagnosing a cataract properly. Usually an eye examination

with the doctor dilating the pupil will allow the cataract to be seen

directly and to rule out the presence of any other eye diseases.

 

Treatment. Surgical treatment for the removal of cataract has

progressed and been refined over the past 20 years and today, cataract

surgery is extremely successful. The modern technique for removing a

cataract includes the use of an incision and then an ultrasonic probe,

which is used to break the cataract into minute pieces, which are then

easily removed, from the eye.

The lens is removed and a small plastic lens is placed in the eye to

keep the focusing power of the original lens. This lens, is

permanently fixed inside the eye, it cannot be felt, and eliminates

the need for thick cataract glasses after surgery.

Cataract surgery today, in the hands of an experienced surgeon using

the latest techniques, is extremely successful. Over 95% of patients

undergoing cataract surgery today have an excellent surgical result

and restoration of good vision. The procedure is performed with local

anaesthesia and vision is normally recovered within in 1-7 days.

Cayce treatment

The general cause which Cayce gave was impaired circulation and

elimination's leading to accumulations in the sensory system. Other

causes included spinal lesions and sublaxations digestive problems,

diet, which often was lacking, mental attitudes, mechanical injury.

But in most of these cases poor circulation and elimination were the

final mechanisms that allowed the cataracts to form. So just clearing

the cataract with an operation does not get at the cause and the

formation of these must surely point to other problems. In fact Cayce

did say that there was a chance of reforming if corrections were not

made.

 

 

Osteopathy Adjustments to the spine –upper cervical and dorsal

segments Cervical 123 Dorsal 123 sometimes in the lower dorsal

co-ordinating with the upper lumbar. Frequency about twice weekly for

5-6 weeks with rest periods of 3-2 weeks. This was the most common

treatment advised by Cayce.

Massage

Mostly with peanut oil and a combination of oils see files –frequency

varied. Twice weekly seemed reasonable though in one instance daily

massage was required before sleep. Emphasis was to the spine mastoid

and chin areas sometimes to the neck and other areas.

Violet ray treatment

Sometimes recommended after the first series of osteopathic

adjustments had been carried out. Apply along the spine, head and neck

areas for three mins, then use the double eye applicator over closed

eyes for another 1-1.5 mins, and use this about three times per week.

A glycothymoline or Epsom salt pack may be used over the same areas

for 20-30 mins prior to the violet ray treatments. Note discharge may

occur with these treatments. This should be wiped off with a

non-irritating antiseptic solution.

An Irish potato poultice made by scraping old irish potatoes applying

to the closed eye with linen applied over this to keep it in place,

this may also be used after the violet ray. Wash off with a weak

solution that will remove inflammation drawn by the poultice.

Eliminations 1-2 times a day using natural laxatives e.g. ENO salts,

Fletchers castoria, Bicarbonate of soda with cracker crumbs. Colonics

if necessary.

Diet

A wholesome diet rich in fruits and vegetables, seafood's are allowed

but no meats or sweets .Raw carrots lettuce, celery, watercress and

the like are advised well.

Review of the files

979-10 Female age 69 Cayce said that an operation could be avoided if

the general strength of the body could be stimulated. Violet ray

advised with the double applicator for 0.5-1 min every other day. Five

years later a letter of appreciation was forthcoming saying how much

she had been helped and the cataract was removed with no operation.

1438Female78 Cayce found complications with this person, problems with

the eyes and hearing, he also added that this person's mental attitude

was having a detrimental effect upon the body.

Hydrotherapy treatments under the supervision of a nurse. An even

sweat followed by a through rubdown, high colonics. Osteopathic

adjustments were all recomended.

Most of all make a more constructive attitude in your relationship

with others. For as you do to your physical relationship, with other

so you do to your maker.

1861Male33 From birth to age 4 this person was almost blind.

Operations followed which removed cataracts from his eye gradually so

as not to damage his sight. Then he was told that he would have to

rely on glasses. Following the Cayce regime, {osteopathic and

electrical treatments} in the main this person gained the use of his

left eye for reading purposes. X-ray pictures confirmed the trouble in

the spine. General improvements all round were found.

2600-1female62 Deaf and almost blind conditions had almost become

constitutional. Eliminations sited as cause with lesions in the spine.

The wet cell carrying gold was suggested for an activity to the

centres, which supply from the cerobosinal area to the nerves in the

facial centres that supply hearing and vision.

A report from a lady who went to eye specialist and was told that when

cataracts start to grow nothing will stop them and even her specialist

laughed when the lady asked if exercises and sunflower seed would

help. She sent for the file on cataracts and started some of the Cayce

regime improvements were noted and the specialist asked the lady if

she was doing anything he did not know about. After the other comments

she did not reveal her information.

57-1 female 69 Cayce found Elimination problems in the upper body,

hence inflammation in the face head Antrim nerves in antrum and sinus,

throat obstructions, eyes were distorted in their vision. Osteopathic

adjustments, deep manipulation, the ultraviolet ray and the use of the

infra red ray recomended. Apply the ultra violet to the cerebrospinal

or to the back and the infra red to the front from the upper cervical

the brachial and the solar plexus centre. Of note, mentioned to use

antiseptics to keep clean the condition in the throat, the eye, and

the nasal cavity so that infectious forces, which are thrown off by

the respiratory, do not reinfect again. A weakened Dobells solution

was advised

1491male 75 Cayce found an injury to the neck and head to this man

which was causing thinned walls of the circulation which was producing

a haemorrhage. Again osteopathic adjustments were to be given – upper

dorsal and through the cervical advised, twice a week for 4-5 weeks

and then left off. Electrical treatments advised.The man consulted

other specialists and was in a dilemma having been told that the

electrical treatments could jeopardise his sight – he listened to

these people and did not follow the treatment.

1561-7male 58Cayce found neglect with this person and asked if this

person is willing to pay the price in the material, from the money

standpoint as well as the prayer and meditation. Improvements would

follow. Electrical treatments made by Erlanger were advised to the

injured areas so as to clear the cornea of growth, with the

replacement of the torn retina you may gain 50-75% more vision than

you have presently. Take the treatment 2-3 times a week for 6-8 weeks

then rest for 2-3 weeks then resume the cycle. Then consider an

operation for the torn retina Cayce counselled this man about mental

attitude and this playing a part in the mans life. Do unto others, as

you would have other do unto thee. Pray often and live as you pray in

the same manner and according to the faith in him who is able to

restore thy whole body be it unto you.

2178 female age 3 Cayce found an injury with a piece of metal that

needed removing by a specialist who was well versed with eye problems

and their examination .He also said following the removal a spot or

cataract would form. He advised keeping the eyes shaded and use cold

applications and belladonna which would be gradually diminished. After

about two weeks osteopathic adjustments would be given to stimulate

circulation to the optic areas – upper dorsal through the cervical

area. Then the Erlanger treatment – electrical using some form of

crystal. Diet as already outlined earlier. Once a month for five days

give atomidine one minim in half a glass of water Start again in the

next month for 6-8 months, this will stimulate and clarify the

glandular system.

3168-1 male adult Of interest here Cayce found with this person, toxic

conditions in the body accumulating in the face and head. Treatment

consisted of the usual osteopathic adjustments and the use of

glycothymoline packs applied to the back of the neck and over the eyes

for 20-30- mins each day. Use 4-5 thickneses of cotton cloth saturated

with glycothymonline. Do not heat. Use ENO salts in the morning, a

teaspoon before the meal is taken .Of note was a question posed by the

patient regarding removing some of his teeth, this said Cayce would

help the cataract removal presumably the toxins from these teeth were

causing problems in the body as a whole.

3288-1male 79 Toxins were found with this person in the circulation

between the cerebrospinal nervous system and the sensory organism.

Treatment advised by Cayce was to have Swedish baths 1-2 times per

week. This will remove poisons out of the superficial circulation,

these should be steam sweats not fume baths. Osteopathic misalignments

again were at the seat of the trouble. After the baths massage with a

mixture of olive oil 2oz, peanut oil 2oz,Oil of pine needles 0.25 oz,

Lanollin liquefied 0.25 oz, Massage in just what the body will absorb,

massage away from the brain in a circular motion either side of the

spine Diet as already outlined

3288-2male79 a check reading was undertaken Cayce mentioned that the

head need not be covered for the sweats and to use a tablespoon of

witchazel to a pint of boiling water in the cabinet which should have

2 60watt bulbs in it to vaporise the water. Also the radioactive

appliance was mentioned as an aid for keeping balance between the

upper and lower circulation and this could be used 2-3 times a week.

3335-1male 72 of note in this reading is mention by Cayce that a

partially paralysed eye lid would be helped by massages to the 123

cervicals 123 dorsals and the neck area. Cayce also said at length

that the eye problems are a reflection of the attitudes towards things

about him. Here the person has closed his eyes to the cries of those

about him .He might have helped and now look what is happening. This

person was also going deaf!

3477-1male23 Here Cayce advised that little can be done until the

cataracts had been removed operatively then the usual treatment was

outlined to prevent further growths. Mentioned was a massage mixture

which consisted of olive oil 1oz, tincture of myrrh 1oz, calamus oil

0.25oz.Cataracts should be removed at the proper time, there were

better times to do this and their must be some relationship to this

and their growth. Also mentioned was a little ear trouble, this said

Cayce would be helped by the massages and corrections. Also mentioned

by Cayce was that too much coffee and smoking, with milk was very

dangerous.

3566-1male 70 Improper assimilation was sited the cause with this man,

the same kind of treatment was required as previously outlined but

with a massage formulae of 2oz nujol or usoline, 1oz olive oil, 0.5oz

oil of pine needles 0.25oz of sassafras root, 0.5oz of lanolin- mix

well. Also take Kaldak for a tonic, a teaspoon in a glass of milk,

take in the morning and then in the afternoon, take for 14 days then

leave off for 5 days, the then same cycle for two more times .Use

Irish potato as in the form of a poultice to the eyes, daily or every

other day for cleansing.

5451-1male adult Cayce found a local condition to be a problem

bringing inflammation to the retina and to the ducts which supply the

nutriments and remove the toxins from the eyeball, lids and the

frontal portion or lens itself. This was a more a constitutional

condition than an organic one. An operation would not be beneficial at

this time and could cause loss of sight to one or both eyes .He was

advised to go under different supervision and then treatment would be

specified. A further reading was given and Cayce told this person that

unless there is a change in his attitude where he must feel that the

treatment would be correct, there would not come the healing that he

desired. He advised change the environment and treatment would be

given. When asked where was the best place, Cayce replied that any

place where he would not be under the supervision that he has had and

he must change his attitude to be convinced that the treatment will

work or is the best that can be done. If there was not the change of

attitude then the soul must learn by itself. On the third reading

Cayce gave warnings not to operate as this would mean loss of one of

the eyes, no improvements had been made in any other manner, Irish

potatoes as in a poultice were advised, as was the violet ray but not

to the eyeball but to the base of the brain and to the 3-4 cervical

centres and then follow up either side of the ear for at least 3-5

mins for 10-15 days. Osteopathic adjustments advised. Diet as already

outlined. A fourth reading was given Cayce found a contraction of

congestion, which really is not relevant to the cataracts. Cayce

insisted that the treatment was not being followed closely enough and

advised that things will not improve until they are. In the sixth

reading the violet ray was added with the double applicator to the

eyes and along the 123 dorsal and 345 cervical. Take the sweat baths,

as this will relax the body, fume baths would be better but the dry

sweat baths will be good. Apply the ultraviolet ray to the junctions

of the sympathetic and cerebrospinal in the dorsal and cervical

region, 3-5 mins. Keep the potatoes up when needing to cleanse the

eyes. Do not do any eye exercises until drainage's are well set up in

the eyes, for exercise will cause more irritation .An operation was

advised if the treatment could not be carried out in the sixth

reading, presumably there had been enough change to make it viable.

The out come of the operation would have much to do with his own

mental attitude and of those that the person has around it.

There were many other cases in the files, which followed along the

normal treatment, which Cayce gave. He was quite consistent with his

applications to this problem.

 

Although not specifically recommended by Cayce spiritual healing has

the capacity to be very beneficial in all illnesses- see other pages

on this fascinating subject.

The reactions to the sensory system, and circulation to the

head and eyes - optic nerve and the orb socket - are

affected

through the impingements and the activity of the circulation

through the secondary ganglia, and 5th and 3rd nerve impulse

to the head, as to cause at times more reaction in face than

pain in the eye itself - save at periodical periods.

 

7. The centers from which we find these conditions arise are

in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th dorsal plexus, in the 3rd and 5th

cervical plexus - and in the 2nd cervical plexus do they

affect directly the conditions.

 

8. As we find, these may be materially aided; while not

relieving the condition in its entirety from the manner

or character of the impingements to the nerves to the brain

and through the optic centers - or wholly those that cause

irritation to lids, these may be relieved to such an extent

as to increase visibility to the body to at least

seventy-five percent, and through the aid of lens and

through

the activities that may be kept, will bring a much more

active and normal result or effect to the body.

 

 

21. (Q) What causes that dull ache above the eye?

(A) Strain in the plexus as is given that deeper

manipulation should be given between the hypogastric and

pneumogastric plexus as connect direct with the brain, about

the shoulders and neck, see?

 

IRITIS

[1267].cayce found disturbing conditions in the physical forces of

the body.

these arise primarily from the effects as produced in the nervous

system related to the

circulation, there is also the combination of poor eliminations;

particularly affecting the

body through those subluxations that have prevented and do prevent

the normal circulation.

 

This has effects with the organs of the sensory system, In the blood

supply we find disturbed circulation, poisons; the poisons cause

some inflammation in the upper portions of the body ; also torpidity

of the liver in its activity caused from from the subluxations that

exist in the lower cervical and upper dorsal area.

 

These then are the sources in the nervous system that cause that

condition which affects the supplying of the proper nutriment for the

activity of the auditory and optic forces of the body..

 

Implement corrective measures in the upper dorsal and throughout the

cervical area, stimulating all of the nerves and the muscular forces

to the eyes; osteopathically Do these twice or three times a week for

three weeks, then a rest period of ten day or two weeks, and then

again for a period of two weeks, rest

period of a week or two weeks, and then again.In the rest periods use

the Radio-Active Appliance as

an equalizer to the circulation.

 

After each third treatment (and only at these periods), we would use

the violet ray as a stimulation to the GENERAL circulation; use on the

sides of the head, do not use in the beginning the eye applicator but

the regular bulb applicator, from the central dorsal center or from

the 9th dorsal to the head itself. Then commence with the head and go

the other way, upward first, downward the last. This from the sides

of the head, the neck, through all the cerebrospinal system in those

portions as indicated. Use this from three to five minutes, though in

the beginning do not use too great a strength - about half the full

strength.

 

Also use an eyewash, such as Glyco-Thymoline, weakened, or the regular

applications that are indicated for the removing of inflammatory

conditions about the eye.

Once or twice a week use the scraped Irish potato when retiring.

Scrape sufficient to fill the hollow of the socket of the eye, when

the eyelid is closed. Place on same with a slight covering to hold in

place. Keep on for at least ten minutes. Then when this is taken off

cleanse the eye.

 

With the spinal corrections coordinate the locomotory system and set

up eliminations more through the liver area from the lower portions of

the ganglia in the upper dorsal area.

some irritation,may be expected and some discouragements, use of the

Radio-Active Appliance will quiet the body; not necessitating then any

sedatives.

 

On the subject of eliminations use of colonics rather than

laxatives. Do not use the waters colder than the temperature of the

body. Well that every second or third there be used a saline and soda

solution; that is, to each two-quarts of water put a heaping

teaspoonful of salt and a level teaspoonful of soda, dissolved very

thoroughly. Use a tablespoonful of Glyco-Thymoline to a quart of

water in the last of the irrigations. This will prevent any

inflammation and will assist in the eliminations of the body.

 

Cauce of this has been a general depletion arising from a subluxation

in the upper dorsal and through the cervical area, cutting off the

circulation, that has caused this; and gradually setting up the

inflammatory condition that has made for a dilation of the optic nerve

and has SMOTHERED same - so to speak - from effecting the proper

vision. It has also affected those organs of the sensory system as to

taste, as to hearing, and at times as to feeling; that is, being

subject or sensitive to certain emotions.

 

 

 

..5086-3 M 58

 

The loss of the vision in the eye is due to pressures in the sinus

areas, which affected or caused the iritis, which then caused the

flowing of the fluid into the nerve tissue. This

may not be changed, but if the general health of the body is

kept well, there should not be, unless there is an injury to

the head, the affecting of the other eye. For the strength,

as for vision in the optic forces, is really improved in the

left eye.

 

5. We would, then, be mindful in the activities of the body to

keep eliminations first, for these at times are not good.

 

6. The tendencies for inflammation through face and head,

from disorders long existent in the condition, need to be

kept thrown off from the system by better eliminations.

 

 

 

Occasionally have colonic irrigations and a gentle massage,

but no electricity, save the very low forms of same, as

might

be used by the body, of the body-vibrations itself. For the

using of the Radio-Active Appliance with the ice, and

keeping

plates very clean and using this regularly when the body is

tired, will bring rest and build energies for the body. The

use of this should be, when it is used, a half hour to an

hour. Use this as the body would rest, and use that same

period for meditation or for reading or for analyzing, but

not for analyzing business problems, nor as periods when

you would argufy with anyone, but creative forces: as study

of self, study of purposes, study of ideals. Reading of

scripture or of your Sunday School lesson, then, when you

study. Go to Sunday School.

 

7. Ready for questions.

 

8. (Q) Anything wrong with my physical condition otherwise?

(A) As has been indicated, there needs to be kept better

eliminations. These may be done by activities which have

been indicated and in the diets being kept. Not too much

of meat, but vegetables and especially raw vegetables and

fruits.

Potato packs

6/1/49 Issue of THE SEARCHLIGHT, p. 118 under HELP FOR

YOUR EYES carried the extract from Case 1963-1 re potato

poultices.

 

R7. 1/22/50 Report by Mrs. S. W. McComb: " I have used the Irish

potato poultice for my eyes with most pleasing results as

it gave me the only relief from conjunctivitis I had. Had

before this had the best of medical care with no relief.

The condition of my eyes was most extreme and no permanent

relief from treatments. With the Irish potato poultice I

was much improved in three weeks. I kept the poultice on my

eyes practically all night. (I also washed my eyes out with

the solution of salt and soda according to your directions

in Case 243-11). About twice a year I use the potato

poultice as a precaution. My eyes are now much better

in every way. "

 

R8. 2/15/50 Report by Miss [4012]: " I used grated old Irish

potatoes [as in Case 1963-1] over my eyes several times

daily and at night - it kept the condition cleared up enough

that I could continue work all summer. I have since taken

allergy tests which showed up positive and am now taking

injections. However, the potatoes gave me the only relief

in five years, but couldn't clear up the allergy - I hope

the injections are the answer. I can understand how

potatoes

could permanently clear up some forms of conjunctivitis -

but since my particular kind was an allergy - it had to be

removed - but I thank God for the potatoes until I found the

cause. "

 

1963-1 Page 2

 

R9. 9/12/50 Report from Dr. Weiss [Naturopath]: " The Irish

potato packs on one of my conjunctivitis cases as a home

treatment worked out quite successfully. "

 

R10. 3/21/51 Report by Mrs. Phillips: " The potato poultice

seemed

to help at times, but not consistently, and very little the

past year. I neglected answering the questionnaire sent me

so am most humble in asking for this new information [on

allergies]. May I now add that the eye condition was due

to allergy, becoming worse in the last two years. However,

the potato did ease and clear this in the earlier stages. "

 

R11. 10/3/68 Mr. Robt. M. Corey's ltr. [see full Reports on other

ailments under [3559]] " For my long standing 'Blepharitis' I

used the raw potato poultices on the eyes, followed by

Glyco-Thymoline rinses. This proved to be of great help

and the only tr. to bring relief in over two yrs... The

Blepharitis returns from time to time, whereupon I return to

the Glyco-Thymoline eye baths and, if necessary, the raw

potato poultices. "

 

R6. 11/19/73 Letter from Bette Nelson, R.N.: " I was reading

Health Hints sent to me by the Cooperating Nurses Unit. The

article on Irish Potato poultice was especially intriguing,

as my mother, who was 1/2 Irish, raised five children on a

farm and used no other treatment for anything except Irish

potato poultices. We were never sick, and I never met a

doctor till I was 19 years old.

 

" Last year my friend's new born baby contacted Staph in the

nursery, along with several others. I kiddingly told her to

use the Potato Poultice. It cleared it up in 3 days. The

infection was a severe one and not responding to any other

medicine. Another girl friend used it on conjunctivitis and

it cleared up beautifully. "

.. We would also use the double eye applicator from the violet

ray over the eyes each evening. Following same (that is,

this should be given just before retiring), use those

properties of the scraped irish potato as an ointment over

the eye itself. Be sure that the eye is closed, and use

sufficient to fill the socket or indentation of eye itself,

with a bandage put over same for the evening; or it may be

taken off early in the morning. Following the removal of

same, be sure that there is a cleansing of the eyes with a

weakened solution as an antiseptic eyewash, see

(A) Improving. We would find that a massage occasionally of

the hair, with the JUICES of Irish potato pressed out -

combined with olive oil and white vaseline, nearly equal

parts, would facilitate its growth and will keep a NORMALCY

in the scalp. It would be well to keep the present GROWTH,

unless it - the heaviness of same - makes for weariness in

eyes or headaches, see?

7. For the condition of the eye, apply the violet ray, eye

applicator. Do this about twice a week. Follow with

placing

a scraped Irish potato poultice over the eye to cleanse

same.

Use any good antiseptic to wash out. This should prevent

accumulation, and clear the eye of the shadow of the

cataract, which is tending to form there, but the

eliminations will have to be much better. set up

 

.. (Q) What should be done for granulated eyelids?

(A) Use a weak solution of boracic acid. About twice each

week use those of scraped Irish potato, bound of evening

over

the eye.

 

24. When the body has used the eyes in such a manner that they

are tired, and burn, then we would use the OLD Irish Potato,

scraped. Scrape the OLD potato (not new) and place over the

eyelids (with the eyes closed, of course), sufficient as it

were to fill the hollow. Place over this a gauze or

bandage,

and let remain for fifteen to twenty minutes. Then wash or

bathe the eyes with a weak solution; as with Maurine

[Murine]

or the Acid wash as for baby eyes.

 

25. Also, every other day we would use the electrical vibrations

from the Violet Ray; using a Double Eye Applicator. In

the beginning do not use it more than half a minute. Place

the Applicator over the eyeballs (with the eyes closed, of

course) before turning on, and do not turn on too strongly

in the beginning. As the use of same affects the system,

the time may be increased to three quarters of a minute to

membranes - these, as we find, will CLARIFY those conditions

for the eye. When there is INFLAMMATION, or a tendency of

a burning in the lids and the eyeballs themselves, no better

application may be made than that of an old Irish potato,

scraped and this pulp laid over the eye of evenings.

The next morning bathe same with a weakened antiseptic

solution for the eye. These will clarify, or act as

those clarifications for distresses in this area.

a whole minute.

 

 

10. Then apply scraped Irish potato to the eyes. This will

remove through absorption the inflammation from the lack

of optic reaction, stimulating the optic centers that are

becoming atrophied. In the beginning, apply these potato

poultices each evening for three days at a time, resting

a week between, and then again three days at a time in the

evening; putting it on directly to the optic centers, that

is, over the eyelid, binding on with a gauze or cloth. Each

time remove the poultice when it becomes dry or hard.
