Just quickly to blow the lid on this multimillion$ pharma-medical scam

The disease is called keratitis. 99% of all adults in the world carry the herpes simplex virus. What happens is that the herpes simplex virus starts to replicate on the surface (cornea) of the eye. Like many viruses, to the immune system the virus itself is largely unidentifiable. The resulting herpetic lesions cause the eye to become completely bloodshot, inflammed, swollen, hypersensitive to light, and reduced in visual acuity depending on it's location relative to the aperture. Infection of other locations of the eye, such as the retina can and has resulted in blindness.

The infected cells produce a highly potent psychoactive toxin inducing physiological and behavioural anamolies comparable to schizophrenic psychotic and depressive episodes, including hallucinations and inexplicable aggression.

For many decades pharmaceutical companies have manufactured products designed to alleviate the symptoms. At the present time there are over 70 available separate treatments in a market estimated at $400+ million in the US alone.

In effectiveness however NOT ONE of these products NOT ONE can begin to compare with the simple compress of a warm used teabag to the eye.

You read right. Ordinary tea, the stuff poured in to Boston harbor. The leaves inside a little paper flow-through satchel with a piece of white string and a paper tab, that boiling water is poured over in a cup.

When cool enough to touch and held to the keratitus infected eye for about thirty seconds to a minute, it completely stops the replication of ocular herpes simplex in its tracks. Complete cessation of symptoms follows immediately, and should stay gone for at least 48-96 hours.

If you're reading this and you have or know someone who has ocular shingles, eye herpes, or keratitus - please go and do this now. IT'S OVER.

In the years since World War 2...
How many millions of work hours? How many millions of school hours? How much money and time and worry, interrupted sleep and petrol and phone calls and resources of hospitals and medical insurance spent on going to doctors, opthalmologists, other specialists and talking about and buying these useless treatments?

Regarding the child as a burden? Regarding the child as paying for sins? How much physical pain? How many millions of days of children sitting in a dark room? Of wearing € eye patches? Of people wondering whether it's contagious?

FINITO!

I'm going to have to write this one down and see if I can find a suitable guineapig. I do hope it works though. I am fully aware that there are herbal cures that outperform medical compounds, in fact most medical compounds start their life as herbs or plants. It's baffling to me we even have a farmaceutical industry, when medicine should be interfacing directly with agriculture and forrestry.

We are truely a species of dumbasses.

Yep, there is more than a little vested interest politics and corporate welfare involved.

They (doctors & researchers) were confident that a pharmacological cure would be found and proceeded to ignore the one truly effective treatment simply because it was alternative to pharma.

I'm not saying doctors should be perfect - far from it - but if this treatment has been around for centuries then they have let 2 generations suffer as guinea pigs while big pharma and researches fumbled around.

Homeopathic is definitely the way to go...

I am currently taking a regimen of Cinnamon to help with my Diabetes. I have been on the Cin for about 6 weeks now and I have been able to reduce my Diabetes medication by half...

I have hopes to be completely free from prescription meds this time next year at the latest....

Good thread

Semper

strangely, i've used hot tea bags for any kind of eye irritation since i can remember. never even thought about its overall therapeuthic value, it just helped and that's all i needed to know.

nice post

I don't think it would be called homeopathy but it definitely is the way to go. I think herbal remedy would fit it best.

As far as using cinnamon, good for you! I assume you are type 2?

Cinnamon has the ability to control blood sugar levels and recent studies have shown that this natural spice actually acts as an insulin substitute. Best of all, it taste's great.

Back on topic....great post. We can add this one to the list of completely preventable or curable diseases that big pharma would rather keep circulating for the profit.....

This is important.

Don't stop using what you are told to by a doctor, an opthamologist in this case. Continue to treat it as is recommended by someone who knows, or at least should know, what he's talking about. This is a medical emergency, and don't play dice because it sounds like a good idea.

But if you can, augment it. This goes for all alternative treatments. Mention it to your doctor, and ask if, even though it may not be effective, it is save to augment the recommended therapy with your alternative therapy.

Alternative medicine is great, unless you start to replace treatments you need with unproven alternatives.

I'd put it differently:

If the condition is not acute and severe it may be advantageos to start with a natural remedy before seeking a doctors advice.
Always use good judgement, if the condition is scary it's time to seek medical aid. If a condition that is not too worrying does not respond to a natural remedy in due time (usually a day or two) then it's time to seek medical aid. Normal medicine works in many cases and most doctors have good intentions and vast knowledge.

These are the rules I use on myself at least, individual mileage may vary.

Well if you mean ocular herpes, it's severe as soon as it starts. But if you have something slight that won't kill or permanently harm you, sure. That's probably what you mean anyway.

i agree with the above except in the incidence of a HIV positive test, most information i have come across shows the largest percentage of HIV positive people living over 10 years have never used the drugs for more than a week. I would agree many doctors have good intention but have to follow protocol and don't allow themselves to think outside the box w/ some treatments because they know if they allowed themselves to question something as large as treatment for a serious disease, that their heart may urge them to make changes, while their income (support for family would be possibly at stake) confirmation bias is powerful, sorry for the rant.

I find it amazing how many stray animals live long lives, ones owned by people who cannot afford to take them to vets. But then you have the wealthy people who can afford to take their pets to vets, and they get sick so quicky and with the weirdest diseases. Like, their liver fails or some real odd thing. I think they milk them with their chemicals, they just make em worse.

I'd just like to remind anyone thinking of trying this that if you have chlorine in your drinking water the teabag will still stop the virus, but then your eye will feel like you've been swimming in a backyard pool.

You need to use 100% pure or filtered water for there to be no chlorine effect.
I drink only pure water myself so I didn't think of that - what happens when you hand out advice on message boards?

Thanks for the replies all, working on mine...

Yes, as it would fall under the acute category.

Good point made on the HIV, there are certain areas in medicine where the establishment steamrolls the intentions of the individuals. It's a core problem but it dosen't mean we have to throw doctors out the window, that sort of atitude would have an overall negative effect on health indexes. The only real solution is a case by case research so that patients empower themselves with their treatments and we develop medicine into stronger self correction mechanisms. Big farma sponsored studies dosen't cut it I'm afraid, again confirmation bias.

You bring up a very interesting point about HIV and drugs. I read some very disturbing opinions and theory about the very same thing. It goes as this, that Most people who are HIV positive do not use AZT (is that the name) and do not develop AIDs. Making the claim that the drugs being administered are actually the cause of AIDs, not HIV. I don't have the links handy, but google does.

While you making out with google, check out Monsanto, the pharma companies, homeopathic et al. If you look, you will find some disturbing facts and allegations about todays medicine. Look into the polio vaccine and how it may be responsable for a majority of trouble in the poplulation relating to cancers et al. There is a certain pepper seed from China (if memory serves correct) that has significant medicinal qualities, where as the naturally occuring chemical it produces has patented and attempts made to take it off the market. Look into how the big drug companies are trying to get common herbs and spices reclassified and taken off the market.
Learn how simple household products, Black pepper, chalk, boric acid, garlic, lavender will clear your closet of all the nasty chemicals used to fight pests. Look up how to take $10 worth of stuff and make your own detergent that will last you months, better for you, your cloths and environment. Find out how to take an old car battery and make it better than new with alum, no nasty acids. I could go on and on and on... and way off topic...

have a good day and don't believe the hype....

oh yeah, it's not protocol that has us screwed.. they could care less about our health... it's all about g-o-d Gold, Oppression and Domination.

Heres something not everyone compairs in their daily lives. The billion dollar industry of Tabacco and the cancer paitents that are supplied with medical attention.

Though lets look at the numbers, a pack of cigg's can cost 5 dollars and their a few billion dollar industry. Now how much is medical treatment against cancer? I guarentee you its more then 5 dollars a person. So is the medical field of just cancer a billion dollar industry or more?

Then what about all the pills and tests that are pushed to be done? That adds up too. Though the cancer patients alone are worth billions, though thats just them in a group, don't forget the rest of that sick world.

should do in a pinch.

also note that the 'AIDS' moniker basically means HIV+ combined with some kind of disease or several diseases. 'Some kind' in this case means any illness which is listed as AIDS related, which is of course subject to frequent change. take cervical cancer (coincidence they're now trying to push gardasil? i think not), i think it was added to the list last year.

my point is that the numbers can be adjusted at will, depending on what you put on the list and revenue varies with the number of AIDS patients...

I just tried adding to the herpes simplex/ocular herpes article on wikipedia. Removed citing lack of wiki-accepted medical references.

Apparently you need a medical paper to back natural remedies.

The terms Herpes Simplex AND tea get 178,000 hits on google.

On pubmed.gov the same search gets 10 hits, none of them referring to ordinary black tea.

Great input johnmike, thanks. I am thinking iodised salt solution would be ideal, but haven't tried putting salt in to tea.

Prodelphinidin B-2 3'-O-gallate significantly reduced viral infectivity at concentrations 10 microM or more. Result of time-of-addition studies suggested that prodelphinidin B-2 3'-O-gallate affected the late stage of HSV-2 infection. In addition, it was also shown to inhibit the virus from attaching and penetrating into the cell. Thus, prodelphinidin B-2 3'-O-gallate was concluded to possess antiviral activity with mechanism of inhibiting viral attachment and penetration, and disturbing the late stage of viral infection.

Antiviral properties of prodelphinidin B-2 3'-O-gallate from green tea leaf.

Why iodized? I'd just use an isotonic solution so it isn't salty or not salty enough for the eye.
