Pink Eye Home Remedy (for my fellow ACA victims)

[ToastedHead]

I used this again this week (with great results) so I want to share, since we're all paying the first $6000 dollars out of pocket now for healthcare.

My little girl came home from school Wed and one of her eyeballs was red. Throughout the evening, it got worse. She started to get the eyeball snots in the inside corner, and along the lower lashline.

I sent Hubby to the store for activated charcoal. This is the exact product he bought at CVS, around 10 bucks. It can be found in the aisle by the Tums and Maalox, because it's marketed as anti-gas.

I boiled a cup of water in the microwave, and then opened three capsules (grab on either side and twist) and dumped them in. Then I poured it through a coffee filter. After it cooled down a bit, I dipped plain old tissues in. I gently wiped both eyes (separate tissues) with enough of the clear black water to get them really wet.

In the morning, her eye was not worse, but still a little pink. I kept her home as a courtesy to the other parents, and I treated her two more times throughout the day.

By Friday morning, she was good to go. No pediatrician required.

The roaches lick it off their legs and it sets up like concrete in their belly which constipates them to the point they die. {I think}

I’m a little embarrassed to post this, but here goes:
When I was 17 years old, I got pink eye in one eye. I don’t know if it was viral or bacterial, but it felt like the inside of my eyelid was sandpaper scratching my eye. An adult friend told me to get some pee on the tip of my finger and wipe it around my eyelid. I told him no way was I wiping pee anywhere. After an hour or so he could see how miserable I was and he finally convinced me it was no big deal. I went in to the bathroom, peed on the tip of my index finger, and wiped it around my eye. To my amazement it worked instantly. I blinked my eyes and the sandpaper was gone. I washed my hands and face and when I looked in the mirror, the redness was gone too.

Boric acid cuts the roaches. It does not poison them.

You’re confusing BA with diatomaceous earth (DE).

I prefer H2O2 over Clorox. I put a fine sprayer on the brown bottle.

91% alcohol on door knobs, telephones, faucets, is superior to hydrogen peroxide.

Nah, don’t be embarrassed. If all goes as planned by Obama, there will be a time soon enough when I will be happy to remember your post.

Urea (found in urine) is used all over the place in skin creams. You are a forward thinking dermatologist in the making.

Anti-bacterial contact lens cleaners works great for both types of pink eye. Couple drops in both eyes 4-6 times a day does the trick. The combo of saline and anti-bacterial agents work great. Will be gone in a couple of days, but you'll get significant relief within 12 hours.

Taking activated charcoal internally can also give you fearsome constipation. Be very careful with it.

Just do what the doctor told me to do when I was seven or eight years old with pink eye.

Just daub a little over the counter Neosporin into your eye a couple times a day.

Your vision will be blurry for a few minutes, but the pink eye will be gone in a couple of days (the infection, not the eye).

OK - go for it.

I recently ordered some food grade diatomaceous earth off the internet. I read tons of reviews on DE and folks swear by it. Many use it on their pets for parasites and fleas, but also, many take it internally themselves. There were hundreds of reviews and many that thought it helped them with thier digestion and some claimed that it helped with joint pain.

Wondering if anyone here has first hand experience with taking DE themselves.

Internally for worms it can be put up in 00 gel caps or mixed with tomato juice for us fruuuuugle folk.....Once or twice a year is often enough, once a year like a spring gut tonic.

I use www.dogpile.com to search for keywords, or youtube with prepper, TEOTWAWKI, SHTF, WROL as those keywords. Pays to surf at regular intervals.

Diatomaceous earth (DE powder used for pool filters) is great for controling fire ants in horse pastures, cuts the ants up, and doesn’t harm livestock.

I hope it’s excruciating for the little demons.

that eye drop antibiotic works quite well...quickly..

cipro eye drops works quick

I hope it didn’t burn her eye. :-)

Most people will not use urine to cure the most deadly virus in the world if it isn’t chemically mixed by a large pharma corporation selling only prescription medicines. Count yourself amongst the very few who don’t freak out easily.
