Question
I'm trying to help a friend whose husband has severe seizures.   I would also love info  on improving my eyesight, please.

Thank you for any help you can give me.


Answer
Hi there Joan, all I can tell you is my own experience, I had reoccurring corneal ulcers for 2 years, in that time I lost half the sight in my right eye and my left was going the same way, the hospital said; "I was going blind and there was nothing they could do" at that same time I was taking roughly 1 seizure a month and each time I took a seizure it "burst the eye" and it started all over again.

I went to alternative medicine as I had nothing to lose, the woman who tests you said; " we need Vitamin B to maintain healthy eyes and the tablets I take for epilepsy eat away at the vitamins in your body" so she prescribed taking 1 Vitamin B Complex daily along with 1 Multivitamin+ mineral tablet daily. Within 3 days ( I kid you not) the pain I had suffered for 2 years was gone, I attended the hospital that week and the specialist was extremely puzzled as the week previous he had said "all 5 layers of my cornea were scratched " now he could only see "minor abrasions!" I left hospital that day with these parting words from the specialist " you will be back Brenda" that was 8 years past in May.

Not only have my eyes never bothered me again, but I have never taken another seizure since then either.

I went to the optician recently just out of curiosity and she was amazed, she looked at my notes from years ago and said; "what have you done to your eyes?" I replied; "taken Vitamin B daily" she said "well not only have you cured the problem you had with your eyes, you have also improved your eyesight" I was told to "put my glasses in a drawer as I now had 20/20 vision"

So here I am 8 years later with no seizures and no problems with my eyes, so I can only say got to a health food store (not chemist) and get Vitamin B Complex tablets and Multivitamin + Mineral tablets.Take them religiously and never stop.

Please let me know how you get on

All the best
Brenda
