Hi,
I have what I think is a liver problem that doctors can't diagnose. I can't process food adequately causing me to lose weight, and it's giving me poor blood circulation which gets worse after eating and sleeping, and causes my eyes to shrink in size. I need new glasses every 4 months and my eyes are so light-sensitive that I can't watch TV, yet doctors tell me that my eyes are fine.  Any ideas what I should do?  Thank you.

Answer -
HI Ken, My first question would be, do you live in the UK? the clinic I attended is in the UK.

RAPHA CLINIC
COMRIED ROAD
BRACO
STIRLING
SCOTLAND

I was told by the hospital I was going blind, I had lost half the sight in my right eye and my left was going the same way, they said there was nothing they could do.

This clinic tested me, and today I have 20/20 vision and my glasses are no longer needed.

I cant suggest anything better than this clinic, you can send in a hair test, and recieve the diagnoses in 14 days.

all the best
Brenda

Dear Brenda,

The clinic sounds like a good idea.  I live in Hawaii.  Is there an equivalent clinic closer to me or could I deal with them long distance.  If I could just get a diagnosis that would be great.  Thank you.

Ken


Answer
Hi Ken, I know they dont deliver medicine outside of the UK, but they did do a hair test for my son in Norway, I sent on the results.

The method is called "Vegatesting" so perhaps you have a clinic there, you can check.

the machine measures the vitamins and minerals in your body, sees where there is a lack, and she then knows what illnesses you have been suffering from.

The hospital had said my problem with my eyes; "must be genetic" in other words, they havent a clue. At the clinic she told me "if you are on any sort of medication long term, they eat away at the vitamins in your body" In my case I take medication for Epilepsy, so she said; I needed Vitamin B Complex (1 a day) to heal and maintain healthy eyes,she also told me to take a Multivitamin & Mineral tablet daily.

So I did as she said, that was over 10 years ago now, and I have never had any bother with my eyes since and as an added bonus I have never taken another seizure since then either.

I recently went to the optician out of curiosity, and she was amazed she said "Not only has the problem I had with my eyes gone, I now have 20/20 vision"

all the best
