Glaucoma actually represents many different diseases, affecting all age groups from newbo s to the elderly. It can be very painful, or can progress without any symptoms. Glaucoma is a major cause of irreversible blindness. Glaucoma is often associated with high pressure in the eyes, however a high percentage of people with glaucoma have normal or even low pressure.
Dry eye syndrome is one of the most common eye conditions. In 1990, about 33 millio Americans experienced varying degrees of dry eye symptoms. By 1997 that figure increased to an alarming 59 million. The symptoms may include dryness, grittiness, irritation, burning and even excessive tearing or watering. While many people find temporary relief with artificial tear preparations, this only palliates the symptoms, and preservatives found in many of these products can even aggravate the condition itself. In fact, these preservatives can kill corneal cells.
Homeopathic Medicines used in the treatment of Cataract: Note that not all listed symptoms need be present for a remedy to work on the other symptoms. It is best to consult a homeopathic practitioner or a homeopathic repertory and materia medica to more fully repertorize your symptoms before embarking on homeopathic self-help. Electroacupuncture, kinesiological, or biofield testing may be helpful in zeroing in on the best remedy, or combination of therapies.
:Solutions for the E.M.F.-Stress: Feng-Shui: In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the earliest known system of solutions was devised dealing with electromagnetic stress problems:
The clarity of the crystalline lens in the eye is one of the most important predictors of longevity. The average person suffering cataract formation only lives 5 years after cataract surgery, the most common surgical procedure in Medicare. What the bleep do we know about nutrition and cataractogenesis? Nutrition in the prevention and reversal of cataracts: Antioxidants:
There are many traditional botanical remedies that have been suggested for people forming Cataracts: Aloe-socotrina: Aloe vera (Aloe socotrina) juice has been recommended in eye drop form, taken twice a day. Bee-products: Royal jelly, taken 1 tsp/ twice a day, has been suggested. While not strictly an herbal remedy, it is produced from and takes on the resonance of the dominant flowers from which it is produced. Flower-pollen:
:Types of the Electromagnetic-Stress: This section presents the most common sources of both natural and man-made electromagnetic interference. The emphasis is placed on those sources of stress most likely to be affecting you.
:Remission & Glaucoma A nerve cell may alive but not fully functional. Such a cell may be able to be brought back to a level of effective visual function, whether it be by improved circulation, enhanced cellular metabolism, etc. If such physiological cellular changes occur in a large enough population of cells, this improvement can show up on your visual field test. This can occur with significant reduction of IOP, with some cases improving progressively over a year or more. Improvements are more frequent in younger patients and in open angle glaucoma (versus low tension glaucoma).
:Longevity: Scientists can create fruit flies that live a 250% longer life span. We are also finding many ways to get old human cells to behave like young ones do. "Unless ye be as little children, you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven," so lets get started on our second childhood, right away. You'll not only have more fun in your function, you'll likely enjoy living longer as well... Attitude: Gratitude. Don't worry, be happy. A study of 1,500 centenarians found that diets, activity levels, and smoking habits varied widely, but nearly all have a good sense of humor and don't worry.
One day, at my holistic health center in Hawaii, I had embarked on a mission to produce homeopathic samples of selected electromagnetic frequencies within the sound frequency spectrum (20 to 20,000 Hz). These frequencies are used not only in sound healing, but also in electromagnetic healing, such as Rife.

:Detection of the Electromagnetic-Pollution: In order to deal with the effects of electromagnetic pollution in our daily lives, we must first be able to identify the sources, which may be having negative effects on our bodies, and determine by their relative strength how adversely each source may be affecting us. This chapter deals with some methods of detecting the source and strength of electromagnetic fields. Direct-Measurement-Devices: Ionizing-Radiation:
Biological-Dentistry: Dental health problems provide one of the most challenging problems in natural health care. The field of Biological Dentistry endeavors to achieve the most bio-compatible approach to the dilemma of placing foreign material in the oral cavity. Prevention
: Case-History : Hidden-Dangers & Practical-Solutions A young boy had been diagnosed with leukemia. He was receiving the best care of both the orthodox and the natural medical practitioners. His naturopathic doctor, one of the author's mentors, found through Bio-Energetic Regulation tests that electromagnetic stress was a causative factor in this case. The family lived well within a quarter mile of one of the large transmission lines that course through Toronto.
