Thanks for the message!! I have noticed the same — getting enough sleep, eating enough fat, and taking my supplements have made a huge difference. They very rarely get inflamed like they were when I wrote that post 4 years ago. Sometimes a hot shower will inflame them or the occasional airbourne allergen. I’m in a place in life where I’m taking better care of my mental and physical health. Holistically, it all helps keep them hydrated!   [End]

I don’t have a formal diagnosis, but I’m learning toward an erythromelalgia/Raynauds combo. My feet, upper arms, and hands heat up in hot temperatures, when I’m under stress, when I’m standing straight up on hard floor, or when I walk for too long. Both issues can be found in other parts of the body aside from hands and feet. My thighs will turn purple and red when I get cold.   [End]

Burning hands. Burning feet. Heat intolerance. It also, for me, causes my arms, hands, and feet to flush and burn in hot environments or direct sunlight. Any sufferers, doctors, or natural doctors who are familiar with this condition out there? I would love to hear from you about the following: A. Any helpful research you’ve found for treating it naturally (as in no prescription drugs)? B. What you have found to help alleviate symptoms? C. Suspected causes, based on personal experience and whatever other methods? D. Any healing testimonies or testimonies of reduced symptoms? E. Any ...

Hi friends, I have a quick update about something that has been helping keep pingueculitis (inflammation of pinguecula) at bay. I’ve been experimenting with the oil cleansing method for my face. A pleasantly surprising side effect has been that my eyes have stayed clearer than I can remember in a long time with very minimal episodes where my pinguecula acts up with the redness and defined blood vessels. The method involves a mix of certain oils (like meadowfoam or almond) along with a small amount of castor oil. It depends on your skin’s chemistry as to how much castor you use, as it is ...

I have redness on my upper arms that is not sunburn and I’m not convinced it’s keratosis pilaris, but haven’t totally ruled that out. Tired of people looking shocked and commenting on my ”sunburn”. Although I am pale and this condition makes my arms look pink-hued, I still have a subtle olive tone and can tan. Curious to see if anyone knows what this is? There are no bumps, plugs, or roughness at all so I don’t feel it’s keratosis pilaris. Exfoliating my arms, as suggested for KP, would result in extra red and inflamed skin. Maybe it’s rosacea? It does not hurt, but can feel hot to the t ... [Image Embedded Here]

This looks like a youth worship conference. And the older people look like chaperones/youth leaders... I think Rick Pino wanted the kids to have fun. I know Jesus liked to have fun, laugh, and I bet he even danced! :) Rick Pino is an amazing musician.   [End]

Oh goodness, I’ve posted two lengthy messages. I sent one last night then woke up and thought it didn’t send so I sent another one!! I can’t delete one of them to cut down on reading. Well, you have lots to read now, haha. Sorry to you and everyone else for the two novels with repeat information!   [End]

Hi GoAwayPterygium, Please know I’m not a naturopath or a doctor, but it’s been my understanding in research that pinguecula and pterygium are separate conditions. I’ve been trying to understand whether pinguecula is caused by irritation, or by liver weakness, or maybe by a mix of both. A recent response from user healthybliss tells me pinguecula could be liver-linked: http://www.curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=2222035#i I do believe anything can be healed with nutrition, even pinguecula and pterygium. It may take longer than we want, as the holistic approach usually does. But if you’re ...

Hi Jasper, My research has been focused more on pinguecula, but perhaps there’s something you can glean here. It’s been my understanding in reading that pinguecula and pterygium are separate conditions, but it does appear they could have similar causes and/or treatments. It would not surprise me if they are both liver-related. I believe everyone can benefit from liver health. If you don’t mind, I’m going to copy and paste a note I sent to someone on here who reached out to me recently, too. I hope what I wrote here is helpful in some way for you. I apologize in advance for the length: ...

I’m really feeling what healthybliss said. I’m very suspicious it involves the liver or gallbladder.   [End]

Thank you, healthybliss. The opthamologist diagnosed it as pinguecula (not pterygium) and said it’s uncurable. I’ve researched it extensively, and basically all western medicine-type resources say it’s not a big deal and don’t worry about it. If it’s particularly bad you can get surgery, but it sounds terrifying and doesn’t seem to solve the root problem. For awhile I thought it formed because I slept with the ceiling fan on too much with my eyes partially open and the dryness caused this ”callous” to form. But then every so often I read random pieces of information that lead me to thin ...

Hi Beatty57, I regularly take Perque’s Potent C (buffered ascorbic acid). Is this Vitamin C? Also, do you really believe DE helps the eyes?   [End]

I’m interested in seeing if anyone has experienced healing in their eyes as the result of a properly performed extended water fast (shouldn’t it technically be a fast from food?). I’m talking about abstaining from food, but drinking quality water. I’m asking because I’m curious to see if it could improve a pinguecula on the sclera. I appreciate any testimonies that could be shared!   [End]

I'm on a mission to help my body heal a minor pinguecula that has formed on my eye. Virtually everything you read online and every ophthalmologist will tell you it's caused by chronic irritation from UV rays, dust, wind, etc. My naturopath and a few natural healing resources online say it could be a cholesterol deposit, a weakness in the liver, and/or it indicates issues with fat metabolism. I've also gathered there could be a link to fatty liver. Regardless of the cause, I believe the body can and wants to heal itself. I believe nutrition, herbs and supplements, and stress-m ...

I have been experimenting with Dr. Christopher’s eyebright formula and this is what works for me: 1. Boil distilled water and pour into a disinfected glass eye cup. 2. Drop 1-5 drops of the eye drops into the glass (3 or 4 is about all I can handle) 3. Allow to cool completely before use (very very important) 4. Tilt eye cup onto eye and roll eye around for 1-2 minutes. It stings a lot, but it does help ease eye irritation. I believe an important step is to make sure you put the eye drops in the hot water so that some of the alcohol can evaporate. It seemed to be more effective wh ...
