" Dear all,don't lose hope.I am Sirisha from India.My eyes are perfectly alright and pray they do remain so for the rest of the life.It's my brother(younger) who has RP and he is just 22.It was diagnosed when he was 16 and it might b there since he was around 5/6,just because he stopped playing games/sports around the same time,because of his visual impairment.The doctors took so long,probably 10 long yrs,just to find out what he was suffering from,and there is no solace even after the diagnosis.There is no medicine for RP in allopathy,and none of the alternative medicines promise much.We tried homeopathy/Ayurveda/acupuncture.The last one's utterly useless,the improvement stays for about 10 days after the treatment.It is sooo much pain,i simply cant put it into words,to see him suffer.Nevertheless,if we lose hope,we LOSE everything and hence,we are hanging to it with EVERYTHING we have.If any of you are interested in the alternative medicines I mentioned above,do let me know.I will post the whole info pertaining to it.
Since Obama lifted the ban on stem cell research,there should be some break through in the pipeline ,in another 3yrs(I have been hearing the same thing fro m past 6 yrs...I hope it is true,this time atleast). Be optimistic and HOPE for a miracle. Tell me if Homeo helped in any one's case. Posted on 04/14/09, 12:04 am |

I cannot say that homeo has fixed my rp BUT I will say that I completely agree with treating the WHOLE body, not just the eyes. If my whole body is carefully managed, my eyes will benefit. I am working diligently on my digestion (for if my digestion is poor I cannot benefit from what I eat or from the supplements I take) by using psyllium hulls combination and wholy tea, I have also begun a rigorous parasite cleanse using a homeopathic tincture as prescribed to rid my system of parasites which we all have to some degree but can definately effect my eyes, also I take cold pressed wils salmon fish oil in capsules 2-3 times daily and vitamin D for my immune system, I take an eye supplement called Perfect eyes by Nature's sunshine and I practice eye exercises which increase mobility and circulation to the eye area. Also, posture is of great importance because if I slouch or have a forward head posture it effects the blood flow and therefore the oxygen to my eyes and our eyes are very sensitive to loss of circulation. I have removed most (and soon hopefully all) wheat products and dairy and sugar from my diet and am looking into wheat grass to grow and grind fresh myself. I believe we have an enormous amount of power through our minds and our health management to heal our own bodies. I had lways been a lazy eater and took these things for granted. I am grateful that I may be healthier than ever before (I'm a "young" 50) as a result of my "condition". We must NEVER just give our health over to the doctors and not do everything in our power to adjust our lives and practices to cause a positive change. Stress mangement and proper exercise are also paramount to having healthy eyes and a healthy happy life. Each of these variables has a very clear impact on the functioning of our eyes and I would encourage anyone who is suffering from a dis-ease to devour all the safe, natural reading and practices they can. Many don't even use supplements and if they do, they should always be taken with caution and not abused as they are in fact medicines to our bodies if properly managed. I know that the doctors are not able to offer me any answers but I feel empowered to take charge of my own health and actually be better as a result! I wish only the best for your brother!
