Read about some prevention methods to maintain eye health
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- Glaucoma is an asymptomatic eye disease that quietly damages the optic nerve; it's the second leading cause of blindness worldwide, affecting over 80 million people.
- A study in the British Journal of Ophthalmology explored whether using pillows that elevate the head during sleep could affect eye pressure in people with glaucoma
- Sleeping too little or too long, especially when combined with excess body weight, may increase your risk of glaucoma
- Statin use may raise glaucoma risk, with studies showing higher odds even when cholesterol levels are well-managed
- You can start taking care of your vision by doing simple eye exercises, avoiding seed oils, choosing foods that benefit your eyesight, spending enough time in the sun, quitting smoking, and establishing healthy routines

Strategies to Relieve Eye Strain
Modern technology causes eye strain by reducing natural blinking rates when using screens
The 20-20-20 rule
- take longer breaks — look 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes.
Another variation is taking five-minute breaks hourly.
Blue light from screens disrupts your sleep patterns by suppressing melatonin production, affecting your circadian rhythms significantly.
Regular exercise benefits your eye health by reducing risks of dry eye disease, myopia,
cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration through body-wide effects
Lutein and zeaxanthin from leafy greens protect your vision by filtering harmful blue light
and concentrating in the macula, reducing macular degeneration risk
Are you experiencing tired, achy eyes lately? You’re not the only one, as modern technology, particularly the excessive use of screens and rampant exposure to blue
light, has caused a massive increase in eye strain.
Try pencil push-ups —commonly used to train your eyes to converge when looking at an object near you, which can help improve eyesight.
Here’s how to perform this exercise:
1. Hold a pencil at arm’s length. The pencil should be vertical, with the eraser pointing upward just below eye level. Then, position it in front of your nose.
2. Move the pencil to your face while concentrating your vision on the eraser. Stop after you see two pencils rather than one.
3. Slowly move the pencil back to arm’s length while focusing on keeping a single image.
4. Begin the exercise for 30 seconds, then build up to 60 seconds three times a day

Exploring Castor Oil’s Health and Beauty Benefits
Despite once quoted as being ‘dreadfully uneasy to take,’ castor oil has many healing qualities recognized from ancient times to today.
By Alexandra Roach
Epoch Times
Castor Oil’s Modern Therapeutic Relevance
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves castor oil as a stimulative laxative, meaning that officials recognize the benefits of application in cases of constipation and see value in the oil’s use in certain types of medical procedures; for example, during the preparation of the bowel before a colonoscopy.
The FDA also acknowledges that castor oil has been used in alternative medicine for centuries, yet, the lack of certain research prohibits the agency from approving further medicinal uses. The research that does exist, however, is encouraging.
Soothing to Skin
Castor oil has demonstrated moisturizing qualities and may increase collagen production, one animal study suggests. Its antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties make castor oil a favorable ingredient in biocidal wound dressings, lotions, and creams treating acne, redness, or other irritations of the skin, as well as after-sun products.
Even hyperpigmentation, caused by an increased production or distribution of melanin, can be treated with castor oil. Those dark skin spots were the topic of a dermatological clinical trial in which 25 patients were instructed to use castor oil cream twice daily for two months. Results indicated that the therapy “significantly reduced the melanin level, wrinkles, and skin laxity” in treated areas.

14 Practical Reasons to Stock a Bottle of Castor Oil at Home
6/6/2017
The Journal of Oleo Science concerns itself primarily with the properties of oils and fats. The authors of a 2022 article confirmed castor oil’s usefulness “as a bactericidal, anti-inflammatory, and antiherpetic agent,” which makes it a valuable anti-viral in cold sore formulations and other herpes virus treatments.
Based on all of these favorable qualities, the cosmetic industry uses castor oil as an ingredient that shields the skin against environmental influences. Furthermore, it functions as an agent against premature aging of the skin. It reduces wrinkles and prevents new ones from developing, especially in combination with virgin coconut oil, another study finds.
Calming to the Eyes
In addition, castor oil seems a suitable, safe, and tolerable therapeutic agent for people suffering from dry eyes, blepharitis (inflammation and swelling of the eyelids sometimes caused by an overgrowth of microscopic mites), or meibomian gland dysfunction. The oil displays “strong anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, analgesic, antioxidant, wound healing and vaso-constrictive properties,” states a 2021 review published in Clinical and Experimental Optometry. Studies included in the review indicated that a topical application of castor oil increased the tear film layer and improved diagnosing capabilities through ocular surface staining tests.
However, other sources suggest that castor oil’s non-sterility may be a reason not to use it in the eyes.
Enhances Hair Growth and Suppleness
Indigenous knowledge of hair oils and their usage was published in a 2022 review, which showed that castor oil adds moisture to the hair, nourishes hair follicles, and protects against scalp irritation. Its fungicidal qualities also counteract dandruff, as well as other “fungal and microbial infections.” In addition, the oil might even aid hair growth.
The combination of castor oil’s properties may provide hair with extra shine and elasticity, and soothe dry and red scalp.
Another study, titled “Bioactive-Based Cosmeceuticals: An Update on Emerging Trends,” cites castor oil as being “used as a component in hair oils, as it moisturizes the scalp, eases dandruff and, additionally, complements the fitness of hair follicles and, in turn, promotes hair growth.”

I’m not asking you, I’m telling you.
Take a moment and listen to this 81 second response from Victor Glover after being asked if he had any thoughts leading up to Easter.
I don’t quite think it can be overstated how perfect this crew is for the job.

How to manage & mitigate
We all know about blue light & how it’s affecting our biology.
The overall advice is to decrease your exposure.
That’s easy to say but not easy to do.
Our jobs demand engagement virtually 24/7
Our kids are getting onboarded by their schools as early as kindergarten.
Surviving in our world is telling is we need to ‘connect’ through technology. But the opposite is happening.. we’re disengaging from direct social contact more than ever and we know our energy is being drained by the effects of the blue light.
1- shield from blue light - a cover for your phone & computer screen or
2- blue light glasses to wear while you are using them.
Wear the glasses while watching TV
3- charge devices
away from you - especially during sleep
4- unplug your TV (in bedroom) while sleeping

Yes, I talked about this when I did a deep dive into Autism 2 years ago.
Suramin was used in a trial & all participants taking it had their autism symptoms dissapear.
After the paper was published Suramin was banned.
Suramin is present in several fruits. It is available in Brazil
In 2013 Dr. Naviaux, an MD PhD & expert in human genetics and mitochondrial medicine, published the first of several papers about his cell danger response theory of autism and experiments in autism mouse models where he was able to reverse both the outward behaviours and biochemical abnormalities observed.
As a result, in 2015 he obtained approval to try suramin in humans.
Suramin is a medicine showing promise as a potential breakthrough in the treatment of Autism
Autism Study & epigenetic effects that can be reversed
http://naviauxlab.ucsd.edu/science-item/mitochondrial-disease-research/
DR Naviaux’s work suggests that the Cell Damage Response (CDR) is at the heart of autism as well as other chronic conditions and may explain why these conditions have been rising over the past 30 years.
The CDR is ultimately controlled by the conversation between mitochondria, the nucleus, and neighbouring cells. All the air we breathe and all the nutrients we eat and drink are ultimately delivered to mitochondria to help us move, think, work, and play.
He believed Autism is the key to understanding a large number of chronic, complex diseases that have no single genetic cause.

I, Jennifer Hibberd, like many other clinicians in the health field , am seeing a shocking increase in children with Autism.
Over the years I have come to learn that Autism is not an absolute & terminal diagnosis.
With significant diet changes and behavioural modification work, even the most severe autistic individual can become a vital functional person.
The incredible dedication required of such a family is not easy to provide. Many autistic children don’t get the opportunity to rise to their true potential.
With patience and dedication you will realize in the process of recovery through effective lifestyle approaches, Autistic children are highly intelligent individuals & once they find their voice, the Autism becomes their superpower rather than their handicap.
I recently read about an autism trial done with another antiparasitic ‘suramin’.
Read this information and know we are on the path to health for all & everyone of us ❤️
FYI - white pine needle tea has Suramin in it too
