Eye has good news...........

As many of you know I have been having issues with my eyes.. I have Glaucoma. Back in March the pressure in my eyes was 34 and 28. The put me on some drops to reduce the pressures. I decided if I could find any holistic things that might help I read that Raw Spinach and Green tea were natural cures. So I have been eating a lot of raw spinach and gallons of strong green tea and of course taking my drops on schedule with out any misses.

Tuesday I went to the VA hospital in Biloxi. My pressures have dropped to 15 and 14, which is close to being normal. They asked me to get them rechecked when I came home as the local VA clinic is very close to my house, I did, 12 and 14. Wow!!!!! What great news. If things had continued I might have lost my sight in next couple of years. I have lost the sight in my left eye, but they seem not to really know what caused it. They suspect some kind of trauma but I can not remember any. I did ride into a steel angle iron and got knocked of my bicycle a couple of years ago. It was a hell of crash. It hit me right in the bridge of my nose and knocked me out. I dont know.

Anyways. PLEASE have your eyes checked regularly and do what they say.
I am lucky. I feel like I have been given another chance. Thanks for listening.....

See you all at Geos on the Gulf lll

Please just call me; "Schultz"

Good to hear you got your eyes back.
I like the holistic fix.
I already drink green tea, for the flavor, believe it or not. (no one else in my house likes the taste)
Can't do spinach.
Green veggies tear me up since the surgery.

I bet you hate it because your mom made spinach, out a can for dinner. [and being kids we thought of 'Popeye the sailor' and ate it] GAWD ! That stuff was awful. Fresh leaf spinach is good. [if you like salads]

Good point. Fresh Spinach is a not bad. Canned is not very good. I am really not much into cooked spinach. But like Busteriver said Fresh Spinach is good in a salad. There are a jillion type of salad dressings so you should be able to find one that you like. I think Kale is even better than Spinach but I can handle Spinach better than Kale.

It's great to hear the news about your eyes. I hope they continue to improve. I need to get over that way for a visit sometime soon. We can grab lunch or something.
