In reply to the discussion: Ugh. Losing vision in left eye. [View all]Erda
(225 posts)The retina in my left eye started bleeding and the resulting clot caused partial blindness. The retina specialist told me this was the result of retina deterioration and that there was nothing I could do. He wanted to inject my eye with a drug to stop the bleeding. That approach was unaffordable for me ($2,000+ out of pocket expense per injection co-pay, multiple injections needed to stop the bleeding).
I believe everything can be healed. Something told me "K2." I also realized my entire body was bleeding internally, not just my retina. I researched this and started a protocol addressing the cause, not just the effect. I took daily drinks containing carrots, beets and gelatin and supplements including Ferrasorb by Thorne Research for iron, K2 by Now for blood health, lutein-bilberry for eye health and very cautiously added K1by Solaray to stop the bleeding. I think my condition was caused by anemia. The bleeding stopped in a few days but I continued on this program until I thought it time to eliminate parts of it. K1 was the first supplement I discontinued when I could tell it was no longer needed and could cause harm. I continue to take the other supplements and others, but not as frequently.
The clot in my eye is dissolving and my sight is gradually returning. The clot is smaller and no longer black, but rather a hazy light green with pinholes of light coming through. I am very grateful for this. .
