Keep in mind, that it would be difficult to find an oil that
gets rancid more quickly than flax oil.? I wouldn't put a single drop of
rancid oil in my mouth, let alone my eyes.? Some researchers think that
it's almost impossible to keep flax oil fresh, and are suspicious of the
freshness of the flax oil found in health food store refrigerators, even before
the opaque bottles are opened.

Strangely, my wife also put the oil in her eyes the same
two times that I did, and
suffered no ill effects.?? Maybe some people's
eyes just don't like flax oil??

Dave this is why we stress to people.."
That what might work for one person may not for the other.Everybody has to be
very careful. The following is what I answered on the Natural Well Being
list..
?
Letter One;
Chances is this Melanie, this lady is elderly Right? She may not have
followed directions to the T..Flaxseed oil is not to have the Lignan in it.
Golden seal is best for the eyes to keep them from stinging. And her bottle
might have been contaminated if she used it directly from the bottle. She
should have poured the oil?into an eye dropper bottle and left this
settle before using. The lignans is what causes the grittiness like sand in
the eyes. I've learned to let the new bottle settle and using an eye-dropper
only take what is on the top to fill the eye-dropper bottle. I've never have
had any problems this way. Chances are her cataracts fell off leaving a
stinging, and the matting was from the fluids still healing in the eye. With a
little warm water on a cloth laid over her eyelids I have an idea her eye
would have healed up..She no doubt didn't have anything sterilized ( all
instruments must be sterilized before using in the eye. And if by chance she
picked up germs from unwashed hands. I do not believe it was the flaxseed oil
that caused the infection..but the methods she was using. She needed to have
someone else do this for her.And if right after putting the 1-drop ( not a lot
into the eye ) she should have laid down and kept the eyes closed. I bet she
rubbed the eyes that became irritated as the flaxseed was first applied..she
probably felt a grit ( like sand ) and begin to rub..this alone caused
irritation, then if her hands or hanky was soiled she caused more problems.
You get to the bottom of this, and ask her questions as to each step she took
in apply this to her eyes..Cleanliness is next to Godliness.

letter 2
Please folks..when advising someone else how to
do something..make sure it is wrote down..they make a copy and? one for
yourself as well.
?REMEMBER we are not to be playing doctor in
our house....but only?giving people an option. Never tell them something
heals ..this is false..But tell them what it has done for you and maybe
someone you know well had good results. But it should be left up to the
individual themselves to apply the things your talking about at the time. This
is why I had hesitated about giving out the cancer salve recipe. To often
people ( are so DUMB ) is putting it mildly, that they will try to use it for
something other than what it is for.Or apply more than what is needed. WHEN we
say recommended dose..that is what we mean. If I'd say to you. 1/4 Teaspoon, I
didn't say 1 teaspoon. More don't heal any faster. EACH time you use a
product, or want to try something..PLEASE always make sure you first
understand the proper way to handle it. One don't put a bottle of something on
a shelf or refrigerator where other things contaminating can touch it. Keep
you medications, herbs, and so forth inside another safe container. I try to
keep my flaxseed oil and etc, in a Ziploc baggy. GERMS can travel from food to
food, by just touching another you've just handled. And above all make sure
everything you use on or in the body is sterilized. Bottles ( containers )
have germs. And lets say if I have a new bottle of oil..look at all who
handled it first at the factory, then the store. How many people first handled
this container? Did the bottle get washed off from your hands to hers..or from
whomever might have helped this lady apply the oil to her eyes..Was she aware
what rubber-gloves are for? I doubt if you or her thought of this either. And
id she used them,?did she use throw way gloves..or use the same ones over
and over. If she had no gloves, she could have used a cheap plastic bag over
her hands.
And if she applied this oil with cotton..chances are a piece of
this got into the eye to irritate. Or an dust particle floating in the
air.Think of an oyster. SAND grit in the shell, nearly drives that
poor-sea-creature to death. They will be so irritate, that they put over the
grit some liquid goop..that later turns into a pearl. But we are not like this
oyster..so we have no pearls growing in the eye. But soon as things got worse,
this lady heads for a doctor that will now make flaxseed oil look like a dirty
pearl. People have got to learn to use things right in the first place..and if
people are told about something, they have no knowledge of only by
hearsay..chances are you become the enemy, because it didn't work..because of
their own stupidity. Maybe it is a lesson well learned another one the hard
way..always be prepared, with good instructions. Have it written down sealed
and signed if necessary.

I live in my own little world,
but it's ok,
they know me here.
I can say anything I? like.. 'cause
nobody
listens to me anyway.
