My eyes are 70% better thanks to nutrition and detox programme!

Will a detox program help laser induced dry eyes? Or is it geared toward medical conditions e.g. conditions non laser induced?
I'm a big believer in nutrition and it has helped but i wonder if it could cure a loose epithelium caused by laser or a scratched eye.

Great post Sara!

I enjoyed it and was intrigued. Do you think detox is possible without the use of coffee enemas? Not really wanting to do something like that.

Yes it is, you don't have to do coffee enemas. Coffee enemas can speed up the process though, by years.

thanks for update, so glad its going well
I was wondering if you ever managed to fix your chronic omega 3 deficiency i read back in one of your posts years ago? i also have this issue, and was wondering if there was any way to get around it. ive been taking fish oil for over two years.

Yes my omega 3 levels are now normal, I had a functional test done and it showed normal levels. The first test I had, when I first started, showed very low levels. Sometimes you have to detox before your levels will come up, because the cells wont uptake nutrients when they are toxic.

Sara, I stumbled across some of your posts awhile ago and decided to find a Functional Medicine Dr. to help me. After being on a program for the last four months, I have had really good results. Thank you for sharing your success! There is not a lot of info regarding whole body nutrition and healing in regards to the eyes. I did the standard fish oil regime but that didn't help a bit. Anyway, I'm so glad you shared your experience and website I'm so very grateful!

That's Fantastic Jynxie, please come over to my free dry eye facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/420821978111328/ to share your experience with others, it will give them hope! So they can see its not just me that gets benefits from doing whole body nutrition.

Blessings, I'm so glad I could help!

Yes I am still having success Waterbee, occasional flare up- which is a healing reaction. But most of the time symptom free.

Four chimneys, not sure if your question is directed at me. I found someone who practices Functional Medicine and had a ton of blood work done to evaluate whole body health and food sensitivities. From there I was placed on a diet plan regarding those results. The dr. also has me on certain supplements he felt I needed. It's a method of getting the body back in balance in order to heal. I'm not done with the program yet but I for sure have had a lot of relief. If you clink on the link to Sara's blog posts, she has a lot of info on her site. Btw, I have ocular rosacea that caused mgd with an unstable tear film.

Hi guys i've been waiting a while to post on here because I wanted to make sure that I was really getting better, but I cant leave it any longer as I want to give people hope!

I cant believe that im finely posting here! as many of you who know me on here know I tried EVERYTHING with no improvement. I tried: restasis, IPL, compresses, various diets in the past.... nothing worked!!! I had one a VERY severe case of DRY EYE, if you look back at my posts you will see my plight!

I'm happy to say that my eyes have been substantially better for 10 months now. I get abit of dryness now and again now. But I hope that will go with continued programme!

One year ago I embarked on a strict diet and consulted a Nutritional Therapist who specialises in Functional Medicine.

I've been following a DETOX protocol. Diet, supplements, and methods to detox HEAVY METALS /TOXINS.... from my body: Sauna, hot baths... and drinking a lot of water to help excrete toxins.

Basically I WAS VERY TOXIC, most probably heavy metals (you can get tests for this)!!! and over the past year my body has been purged MASSIVE amount of toxins. I got the following detoxification symptoms: metallic body odour, metallic taste in my mouth and others. Basically smelt BAD for the past year LOL! My nutritionist reassured me that this was detox!!

One year ago my nutritional therapist ordered blood tests, which showed VERY LOW OMEGA 3 AND 6 FATTY ACIDS.... well no surprise there!!!!!
Guess what?!!!! After one year doing this diet, supplements, detox programme... my omega 3, 6 blood levels are NORMAL!!!!!!!

Other blood tests she ordered showed lowish B12 LEVELS (VERY IMPROTANT FOR DETOX), now my levels are normal.

BTW id like to add that previously I was on high strength fish oil and it NEVER made a difference to my eyes. And my research tells me that TOXINS can cause malabsorption of nutrients, also nutrients are not able to get to the cells that need them if cells are toxic. So if one is toxic, they need to DETOX first.

I also had a test which showed that I have dysbosis (candida), and I am taking oil of oregano for this and will soon start probiotics (high strength).

I started doing the GAPS diet along with 2 coffee enemas, two months on this diet my eyes were feeling great!

I now don't do GAPS anymore but I EAT lOTS of green veg, LUNCH AND DINNER (this is good for raising Glutathione levels which helps detoxification), I eat lots of fibre as I have always been prone to constipation (if you are constipated, you reabsorb toxins in the colon!).

I eat meat and fish, I try to get grass fed and non farmed fish when I can. Oily fish 3 times a week. I eat GLUTEN free grains, but try to keep carbs to a minimum as sugar/carbs flares candida. I do a lot of veg stir frys, I have found it the quickest and tastiest way to get all the veg in!

I take 2 tablespoons of Bodybiobalance oil per day (omega 3 and 6)


I REALLY FEEL THE KEY TO MY HEALING HAS BEEN DETOXING HEAVY METALS THOUGH. And I think the reason nothing worked in the past was due to this. If nothing works for you or only slightly look into Heavy metal toxicity!!! But make sure you are supervised while detoxing as heavy metals can cause alot of symptoms when they are removed. I would recommend a practitioner who specialises in functional medicine.


I am now training to be a nutritional therapist and specialise in functional medicine!!! I am doing biomedicine at the moment and love it!! GUYS THE BODY CAN HEAL ITS SELF, we just have to give it the right conditions in order to do so!!

My general health is much better, I don't need as much sleep, more energy, not as anxious, feel much better over all. Oh and best bit I can now wear mascara haha!!!!

This is the founder of functional medicine, Mark Hyman http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhkLcpJTV9M

Don't give up hope guys it took me 8 YEARS to figure this out, my body was sick, not just my eyes, DRY EYE IS JUST A SYMPTOM of a deeper underlying cause! The body is amazing at self healing. I hope this helps people!!

hiya, just wondering how your eyes are doing now? its been a few years. are you still having success?
