Podcast 30: Community Q&A

0:00 – 5:40 How do you work around being intolerant to “sulfurs”? 5:42 – 7:65 Dr. Berne, thank you very much for valuable content and sharing your knowledge! You’re helping people so much! I have a quick question. Your recommendation to ask your doctor for a weaker prescription for nearsighted reading or use of digital devices. How much weaker do you recommend? 7:70- 11:91 I recently listened to you on a podcast on Ari Whitten’s site and was impressed with your approach. Perhaps you can give some guidance. I had a thrombosis in one eye about a year ago. Since then the treatment has been a series of anti-angiogenesis injections directly in the eye, plus several rounds of laser procedures on the retina. All of this done at the eye clinic in Luzern Switzerland where I live. That clinic is reputed to be the best in the country, however, the condition has now reached a stage where there is still some edema near the macula and it is not dissipating. I am growing weary and worried about continuing with these interventions. Do you have any suggestions about an alternative approach/treatment? 11:95 – 15:22 I recently heard about you on a podcast and now intend on finding a holistic eye professional. I have been experiencing spontaneous eye-watering. It has only been happening in my left eye for several weeks now and occurs every few minutes. As of Monday, it is producing what looks like mucus which is both annoying and irritates the skin surrounding my eyes. Sometimes the tears sting my eyes but sometimes not. There is also a slight pressure around the eye which is especially felt when I have to blow my nose. I currently have a headache… What are some possible reasons this is happening? I have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and idiopathic intracranial hypertension and I want to tread very carefully with regard to any meds, supplements and other treatments recommended. I have a preference towards any holistic approaches. Could it possibly be a blocked tear duct and are there any natural approaches to this problem? Any guidance you could please provide? Also, what is the best way to find a well trained holistic eye professional?
