I'm losing my eye sight. What's going on???

[Rawhoney]

I noticed last night while reading all of the words were blurry, if I pulled it away I can see. I've always had 20/20 vision, up until I began this fast. Is it parasites in my eyes?

I forgot to mention that my memory is bad, it first occurred while fasting.

Hmmmm I dont know. I never have heard of that. Sometimes things get worse before they heal. Maybe they are clearing something out.

I have no idea...

I would go get an eye exam just to be safe.

I've had the same problem. Your eyes are connected to your liver, which is part of one of the 4 energy centres in your body. If your liver is too taxed and can't remove all the toxins as quickly as they are being released, your eyes can suffer. It's a sign you need to slow down your detox by adding juices and green smoothies, until your eyesight is clear again. :cool:

Bike, Can you tell me how to align my chakras?
I'm glad that I wasn't alone with the blurry vision. Thank you Bike ;)
I had my juice and smoothie today, I couldn't hang with the water alone. What is a green smoothie? Is it sweet? tia

It's not a chakras problem. The energy pathways in your body are related to the flow of blood. The Chinese call it Wu Xing. I am no expert on it, but I know, for example,that your ears and your kidneys are related, so that often people will get ringing in the ears when the kidneys are taxed (can you say hangover?!). Likewise, your eyes are a sign your liver, the largest internal eliminative organ, is stressed. It can't process all the toxins you're releasing, so the toxins are getting into your blood.

I suppose you could get some kind of energy work like Reiki, or learn to do some yourself, but the bottom line is stuff is not moving out quickly enough. You're dusting the house, but not enough windows are open!

There are many ways to either slow down detox or get things moving better, and I leave it to other posters to offer their great suggestions. :)

there are lots of posts about green smoothies but isn't what you want to consume while fasting... unless you want to break your fast. it's greens and fruit blended together. it can be sweet or savory.

thanks for the info bike... i feel smarter already!

Yes, thanks much bikediva, I've learned too. I notice my vision fluctuating between good and poor. I've ended fasts where it was much better and stayed better for long periods, and have had days (non fasting) that it is bad upon rising. Optomitrist couldn't (or wouldn't) explain why or how it could be changing....just looked puzzled that I inquired.

Please watch your blood pressure Raw Honey, as that is what I believe damaged my vision initially, from using prescription meds that elevated it. Up to about age 47 or so, I still had better than 20/20 vision also, checked every two years in D.O.T. physicals. It's been very slow reversing it once that damage was done, but I do feel it is getting better since finding this terrific site and group of helpful souls.
