Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Hi guys, i just have a question, is it true that eyes can possibly lighten while going on a raw food diet? i mean has anyone experienced anything drastic in eye color? is their a way without the use of contacts to lighten the eye color, say from dark brown (black) to hazel or green? THANKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 I don't know if it's possible to see that much of a change. But I have seen very dark brown eyes become lighter. It's just a matter of the detox. When you are dehydrated, your iris forms a thick black ring. When you have parasites, you might see many dark spots or spikes around the pupils. And when you have too much sodium in your diet, it comes out as a light blue ring directly inside of the black outer ring of your iris. When you cleanse, these things can go away, giving the appearance of lighter eyes. Now if you are a person who's eyes change, like my cousin, then maybe you might go from brown to green, but I have never seen it. And my cousin's eyes went through grey, green, and hazel and basically stayed hazel once she got to a certain age. But I guess if you can have one brown eye and one green eye (I forgot the actress' name), anything can happen!

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 hmm thats interesting, and thanks for your reply. So you do know someone who had their eyes change from very dark brown to hazel? thats awesome. just how did they go about doing this and how long do you think it took? The whole topic interests me and i was just researching numerous possibilities that ones eye color can be altered through various methods. regards " Sajaa B.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Hey Whatev- No I didn't say that I've seen that. I said that I have not see it. My cousin's eyes were never dark brown. They were hazel at their darkest. And I think her's was just a childhood thing. They basically seemed to change with the seasons, but have now been hazel all of her adult life. I said that I have seen people with dark brown eyes experience some lightening just from the rehydration of their bodies and removal of parasites. Hope that helps.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Now this, I have heard of, and it makes perfect sense. People don't realize that one of the reasons that we get sick in old age is because of the accumulation of toxins in our bodies over time. Arthritis, lost flexibility, lost energy, and so on...these things are considered a " normal " part of aging and they are not. You CAN do something about these things. One of the leading accidents that older people have is broken or misplaced hip due to falling. The reason why it's so easy for an older person to fall is because they have lost flexibility and stamina, so when they trip or lose step, it is very difficult for them to " catch " themselves before falling. rawfood , " Thompson, Debra " <Debrathompson wrote: > > I have a friend who's Aunt had blue eye when she was young, and they > turned dark brown as she got older.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 hmm this is all very interesting, so do you think there is a way of eliminating toxins without going raw i mean completely, i was about to, but i wanted to start working out and going raw would make it ten times harder, so i wonder if theres another way of eliminating toxins? to be honest, i have noticed a slight i mean slight change in my eye color that it was dark brown and 0.1 lighter or maybe im just imagining things. i have started to drink 2 litres of water a day and can see a great improvement in skin and energy in general. i also read on another site where a girl who has been doing enema cleanse for 7 months has managed to turn her dark brown eyes to a hazel color. wonder what other ways they are, i would like to have light eyes, its not a important thing, but the way this alternative methods work seems interesting, and wouldnt mind trying them to see if its possible. guess theres no laser option at the moment " Sajaa B.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Yes, I care to elaborate. I wanted to bring this topic back just in case one of us in this group has heard anything about what I have to say: First, I read the article in whatever whenever's post (below), and I liked how the author gave his opinion at the end of it from his own experience with the holistic practioner who used iridology in a combination of other alternative medical tests and procedures to diagnose him very accurately. But have any of you heard of altering genetic expressions by means of nutrition? Apparently one can change (turn on or off) a single gene expression by altering their diet in certain ways when already eating mostly raw. I understand how this can work against cancer and disease, but more research needs to be done about cosmetic changes. I'm already aware that a more direct clinical gene therapy approach could be used to change hair color, as scientists have before inserted a green flourescent gene from another species (I think it was a jelly fish) into the mouse genome and within 1-3 months the mice grew hair that glowed green in the dark. -Tiffany whatever whenever <whateverwhenever007 wrote: hmmm you reckon? but i mean i will be losing so much weight etc. I seriously dont want to lose weight, call me vein but i need that awesome six pack lol. and the eye lightening theories anyone think its possible? any other means? theres an article i found, heres the link, anyone care to elaborate? http://www.rawpaleodiet.org/iris-color-change-1.html theres no laser iris depigmentation surgery at the moment is there? guess not. so this may sound hysterical to some but im just really fascinated by this subject and would relish the idea of changing my dark brown eyes to a lighter color from either eating raw (not that anyone has ever experienced this? ) or by the way of some form of eye drops etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Wow! Thank YOU for responding, whatever whenever...I was beginning to think that only my replies were not being sent to the group through email because I've posted a few times since late January, but haven't received any word in return. Good to know; I'll have to officially introduce myself in my next post! What I know about genetics is that we all carry copies of the same genes that both our parents have. Even if both parents have brown eyes, if one of your grandparents or great grandparents had (a) hazel, blue, green, or grey eye(s), you also carry a gene for that color; it's just not being expressed because brown eyes are the dominant genes in your family. Concerning change of expression, a protein (which codes for genes) would have to change the way it folds in order to 'switch on' or express a different eye color gene. In order to fold for that effect, the protein would have to be influenced at the molecular level; certain molecular compounds 'get in the way' of protein folding patterns when there's a significant hormone response to the body's internal environment, be it excess intake of a certain minerals or toxins, etc. I don't know yet if it would make sense to determine that say, a Latino or African whose entire ancestry had brown eyes, could change eye color. I'd have to research the makeup of iris pigmentation more thoroughly. That's the best way I can explain it briefly. Studying genetics has been only my hobby since 10th grade (I'm 31 now), but some day I'm going to be a Nutritional Geneticist and perform nutritional gene therapy when there's a job market for it. -Tiffany whatever whenever <whateverwhenever007 wrote: Thank you Tiffany, i appreciate your response, but am not familiar with the whole holistic approach you mentioned. did someone experience a dramatic shift in eye color through a method? i mean if you are born with dark brown eyes theres still hope that it could change from dark brown to hazel or even green? regards Tiffany <bluelairess wrote: Yes, I care to elaborate.

OK Tifanny, i can assure you theres a market, theres a thread on a site thats up to 500 posts and still growing concerning the possibilities of eye color change etc, anyways i have dark brown eyes, my dad has dark brown and so does my mum. however my most of my dads brothers and sisters have green/hazel eyes, and my great grandfather and great grandmother had grey/blue eyes, from my dads side. My mums side generally have dark brown eyes. so anyways do you reckon its possible? even though all my siblings have dark brown eyes aswell? hmm and how would one go about doing this, seems viable by the information you provided, i mean if theres was some sort of method or experiment that i had to stick to in order for it to work, im game, just need your expert advice regards Tiffany <bluelairess wrote: Wow!

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 The article link recently posted by Suzy is a GREAT find. Here's a copy of the link in her post: http://www.seps.org/cvoracle/faq/eyecolor.html Considering what everyone else in this group posted about changing eye color, I feel most confused in determining with what research exists why I have hazel eyes. Even though it's a fact genes don't 'blend', my iris pigmentation appears blended! (Orange bleeds out from my pupils into a mottled greenish grey iris!) I haven't had the time to deeply research iris pigmentation, sorry! But as the article above states somewhere in the middle, " It cannot explain how two blue-eyed parents can produce a brown-eyed child or how eye color can change over time. This suggests that there are other genes, yet to be discovered, that determine eye color or that modify the expression of the known eye color genes. " , I myself would point in the direction of reading deeper into the function of genes themselves: proteomics. Proteomics is a 'newer' science, if you will, of genetics. It's a term applied to anyone working with proteins, which is almost everyone in the post-genomic age. Here is an excerpt from a page I Googled a while back but has since expired: " Genes Are the Code—Proteins Are the Building Blocks Proteins, which are produced by genes, are responsible for maintaining cellular function. They also play a critical role in determining whether tissues are normal or diseased. Whereas genes contain the instructions for human life, proteins are the " chemical building blocks " that actually give structure to living things. For example, genes contain the code for eye color, but proteins will " build " the eyes to those specifications. " And here is an excerpt which I feel best sums up all of our discussions, from http://www.thetech.org/genetics/ask.php?id=30 " Eye color is determined by lots of different genes but it all boils down to how much pigment you have in the front part of your iris at any one time. Lots of pigment means brown eyes, a little bit, blue eyes. Other colors come from intermediate amounts of pigment. The genes involved in eye color determine how much pigment gets made, how quickly it is degraded and where in your iris to put it. In other words, eye color is an ongoing process that is not necessarily set in stone. So all that has to happen to change eye color is to change the final amount of pigment in your eye. How could that happen? Remember, genes are just recipes for proteins. When eye color genes are on, proteins that make and degrade eye color pigment are made. The amount of pigment in your eye is determined by how good these proteins are at their job and how many of these proteins are doing their jobs. For example, you get the same amount of pigment if you make a little bit of a good protein or lots of a mediocre protein. The most likely explanation for a change in eye color is to change the amount of pigment producing proteins made. There are lots of cases where something in the environment changes the amount of protein that is made. As for eyes changing color at various times as an adult, we need to say that there is something in the environment affecting one or more of the eye color genes. There are lots of examples of things in the environment influencing how much a gene is turned on. Stress, for example, is known to affect genes important for the immune system. I’ve also read about certain foods affecting eye color. I hope this helped. The bottom line is that eye color is the result of a constant process of pigment creation and destruction.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Interesting thing, although not really related I suppose. When I was a teenager (14 or 15 years old maybe?) I was walking down the street with my girlfriend. She looked at me as we were talking, then suddenly screamed and jumped back from me. When I asked what was wrong, she told me my eyes were ice blue. I have solid brown eyes -- pretty much always have (well, like most babies I was born with blue but that was gone in months). I didn't buy it until she pulled out her compact and sure enough, my eyes were ice blue. Pretty cool. Now, I'm not raw yet, I'm working on getting there, but if my eye color changes after I've been eating raw for a while, I'll let y'all know.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 interesting james, keep us updated, well i used to wear contacts (yeah i know, it was only for a week or so) anyways i didnt have them in and they were probably brown ones anyways, but my sister said are you wear blue contacts? i was like no, she said your eyes look blue, for like 10 seconds.. bizarre. i guess it was an illusion.

By the next morning, they were brown again. In fact, I think they were brown before I even went home that night. To the best of my knowledge, it's never happened since.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 no not really, its the whole thing with them being artificial, i dunno, just prefer the whole genetics idea and how the genes can be manipulated than the easy contacts approach.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Hi Tiffany, i wanted to know if my great grandparents had blue eyes and my grandparents had dark eyes most of their kids had green/hazel/blue eyes.. but my parents both had dark eyes, is it possible for me to have light eyes even though their dark atm, by going raw? my mothers side all have dark eyes, but father (as explained above) have light eyes generally, but him and two of his brothers had dark eyes while the others had green/grey/hazel eyes etc. hope this makes sense, lol..

Not hazel or any shade of blue or brown. Green. My twin sister (fraternal) has blue eyes. Mom, Dad and older sister are blue too. From my previous post you can tell I've been really sick and I noticed my eyes getting more to the yellow hue-now during my fast they are green again. So I think shades of eye color can be affected by diet/health, but I'm not sure a solid brown will ever be blue????

Some of us may be vein about eye color, while others don't care but are vein about the style of their hair, etc. I look at it as a hobby; something I can accept not changing currently but very interesting to determine how to in the future. -Tiffany Miss Denise <cooljazzcafe wrote: Hmmm...why would anyone care about eye colour? Does the eye colour of Chinese people change because they go raw? Does the eye colour of African-Americans change because they adopta raw diet? How about native Americans? 80% of the world's population will experience no change in eye colour from a raw diet.The topic is more in the preserve of western middle-class vanity than anything else.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 In certain cases of toxic overload brightening of the eyes may occur after detoxification. I remember reading about this in one of Dr Norman Walkers books and again in a book called cookin with mother nature by Dick Gregory .It had something to do with the liver and kidneys relationship to the eyes and overall health.In irrodology diagnosis using the iris dark rings or darkening is usually a indicator of poor health if the person recovers their eyes would lighten .hope this helps. whatever whenever <whateverwhenever007 wrote: Hi Tiffany, i wanted to know if my great grandparents had blue eyes and my grandparents had dark eyes most of their kids had green/hazel/blue eyes.. but my parents both had dark eyes, is it possible for me to have light eyes even though their dark atm, by going raw? my mothers side all have dark eyes, but father (as explained above) have light eyes generally, but him and two of his brothers had dark eyes while the others had green/grey/hazel eyes etc. hope this makes sense, lol..
