I had two bumps on one eyelid diagnosed as Xanthelasma, which is associated with high cholesterol. These bumps were on the eyelid itself. I had these bumps for about 6 to 12 months before diagnosis, and they were smaller than BB pellets. I briefly tried applying castor oil at night, which might have helped some but was messy and a hassle. I started taking 1000 mg per day of Ceylon Cinnamon powder in capsules, which is reputed to reduce cholesterol. After a while (maybe 2-3 months), I noticed that the bumps were completely gone. Then I stopped taking the cinnamon. It has been 3 ...

I just wanted to support this comment on garlic treatment! IT REALLY REALLY WORKS!!! How do I know this? Because I have done it three times and the spots are almost gone (I might have to repeat one more time). First I went to a doctor and she used acid and after three sittings she did an okay job (Almost 80% gone) but it cost me a fortune. When they came back I tried garlic treatment as its free and can repeat until I am satisfied with the results. After doing three times I could apply the garlic as precisely as a professional :-).

Congratulations on your hard work on maintaining a good diet! It is very encouraging to hear reports like that. Calcium bentonite or activated charcoal on the site of the fatty swelling deposits may help pull out some of the oxidized fats stuck on there. Such external packs need to be kept moist, and the liquids away from the eyeball. To help the liver, eat herbs and foods containing choline and selenium, as well as folate and magnesium (spinach and kale). Choline is necessary for breaking down excess fats. Chicory root levels of choline are off the charts. Choline is the ma ...

Hi, Check this thread out regarding your condition: http://www.curezone.org/forums/am.asp?i=432294 As is talked about in the thread, most every condition on Curezone can be addressed with a similar path, and it always involves liver flushing along with other cleanses. You can read all about it in Andreas Moritz’ book. Iodine is often needed as well. The Iodine VWT forum is helpful there. I wouldn’t be surprised if this condition is fungal or parasite related...good luck, there is hope:) HM   [End]

Okay... it’s day seven and for-sure, the xanthelasma has been burned-off with raw garlic! It truly worked... though a level-headed approach might include waiting a year before boasting that they’ve not returned! My only point is that, in truth, I missed a bit, and will now go about treating the missed bits with raw garlic, too. I’m planning to try painting onto the xanthelasma with a mix of crushed raw garlic and egg-white. The egg albumen idea is just to hold it together so’s I can be more exact with where I apply the garlic! Me very happy to have discovered this easy method, to be sure!   [End]

Ascorbic acid will work, but is going to be a lot more expensive and is very instable.  I would go with citric or malic acids, which are only about $4 a pound.  And a pound will go a long, long way.  If there is a wine or beer making supply close by you can get these there.  Citric acid is also available in Indian markets, and cooking supply or possibly craft stores in the candy making supply section.

Friends after i turned 30 i have been suffering very high blood pressure. i smoke 30 cigs a day, i drink about one liter coca-cola and i am way too fat now ((Still like to think i am slim)) BUT I AM NOT. I am unhappy with my body as it has served me well but now it has started to complain. I read alot of success stories here. I wish for your help on my way to get rid of all the toxins that fill m ...

Hello there I too have quite a large Xanthelasma on my left eyelid, which seems to have grown tenfold in recent months, my GP has previously told me there is no treatment on the NHS .. I suffer with COPD and underwent Lung Volume Reduction Surgery 15 months ago and the Xanthelasma has appeared since then. So I would also like to hear from anyone who has the answer to getting rid of these horrid looking blemishes, as I have recenly started to wear an eye patch to cover mine up as it’s too large to be hidden by my spectacles ..

You’re right, it’s definitely all a matter of attitude. I stayed on the master cleanse for 15 days with no problem, and then after that I couldn’t seem to make it to dinner without going off of it! I started it at least 5 times, like I said, but I guess I just wasn’t in the right mindset. But, for some reason, I know that this time I’m ready to do it again. It’s the end of the first day, and I feel great, and am looking forward to tomorrow. I’m doing this for the deposits - anything rather than go under the knife! There is a great Master Cleanse support forum here if you ever decide to try ...

It’s great to hear from you! There seem to be so many different approaches to fasting and cleansing, some say do this, others say do that. It’s all quite confusing. I do know that after the liver flushes I did (last year, now!) I noticed that I didn’t seem to get any acne at all and did not get a cold or flu. So that’s gotta be good. I’ll look into doing a fast, though I don’t know how I’m going to go. I did try to do the master cleanse... I couldn’t stick at it, but attitude is everything, so I’ll give it another go. Good luck and good health!   [End]

Hi, sure I remember you! They haven’t gotten any larger, but then again, they haven’t gotten any smaller, either. I’ve come to the conclusion that the only thing that makes them smaller is fasting. I’ve tried to start a cleanse at least 5 times since we last ”spoke” here, and I haven’t been able to do it. Coincidentally, just today I started a Master Cleanse, which really shrunk them last time I did it for 15 days. When your digestive system gets a rest, your body has enough energy and time to go on the prowl for deposits and stuff that it doesn’t want/need anymore. I just need a kick ...

It’s been awhile since I accessed curezone, and it was a bit hard to find you! It sounds like you have been going very well with raw food. You may remember that we had some posts about xanthelasma on a different forum. I was wondering how it was going, are the spots still there, or have they gone? I still have not had any surgery, the spots are not gone, but at least they are not any bigger. Did you end up doing more liver flushes? Please email me if you like All the best Notsointhedark   [End]

This raw guy on ebay says his dehydrater is best for raw food diet. His machine is 500 watts. then cheaper ones were only 300 watts so I said, what gives? 300 watts would be gentleer to enzymes. I do not know which is best. Some are made for beef jerky, with no idea about raw cooking, but that doesn’t mean that they are not good. If a person lets it sit long enough and dry out slowly, it should be ok i think. Any brand/models that are good dehydrators???????? Thanks, Gracey   [End]

probably not the eyeballs but the eyelids. Fairly common on the eyelids, xanthomas are yellow, soft and slightly raised non-contagious bumps made of cholesterol deposits. They occur both in men (33 per cent) and women (40 per cent) who have elevated triglyercides and cholesterol levels. Another sign of high cholesterol levels in the blood are xanthelasma - yellow patches on the eyelids, common in diabetics.   [End]

We have a russian doc here that practice eye exams called ”Osteopathy”. He looks for changes of your iris and people say his diagnoses are always acurate. I did not go there myself but I belive that damages of organs can be read out of it. So, check your doctor’s findings and then you will know.   [End]

Hi folks. Today during an eye exam to get contact lenses, my optometrist examined my eyes and suggested with some concern that I get my triglycerides checked. I told her I would but didn’t give it much thought. Now I’m wondering: ”Is there something I should be worried about?” What can an eye exam tell about triglycerides? Has anyone familiarity with this condition? Thanks.   [End]

Hello I have had the Xanthelasma marks about 10 years now. I’ve had them burnt off with acid - didn’t make any difference just very painful. I have never been offered surgery or laser treatment. I would like to know more about the Lemonade cleanse. Many thanks Monica Brown London (UK)   [End]

Yes, the ones in the corner of the eyes indicate bladder issues (due to deposits of sand and possible stones in the kidneys, such as uric acid stones). You may want to consider doing the kidney cleanse (in the book The Amazing Liver Cleanse) and certainly cleanse the liver and colon. The darkness under the eyes is due to kidney and liver congestion. By cleaning out these organs of elimination and eating sensibly, these signs are likely to vanish with time. Avoid foods that are high in uric acid such as most protein foods (meat, fish, eggs, cheese,etc.). With kind regards, Andreas   [End]

Hi Andreas I have deposits which are on the inside corner of the eye (on the side of the nose) and a very small deposit starting below the right eye. I didn’t really notice them until it became obvious with the one starting below my eye. I think that I thought it was just the colour of my skin, and having dark circles made it stand out... Thanks to Joanne answering my post in the Cholesterol forum, I was able to find a lot of answers to my questions in your replies to people here. I do have a question, though.

HI - I responded to your other post to me, too - please read my response there. I think that it fantastic that you cancelled your appointment! I too was scheduled to have mine removed, and I too cancelled mine, and started to take control of my own health. I now know that the spots are there because they’re symptomatic of other health issues, and when those health issues are resolved, the spots will go away!   [End]

Hello there! I was wondering if you would ever come back. I post in other forums here on a daily basis, but I somehow missed this post for almost a week. I posted a question to Andreas Moritz in his forum here - you should read it too! He had some interesting things to say about the deposits. And then, a few days later, someone else asked him a question about xanthelasma, and I learned that the bumps above the eyes are indicitive of possible kidney inflammation, so I’m cleansing my kidneys and doing some other things. I’m very optimistic that they’ll go totally away! Here’s the q ...

Ah, Joanne, Thank you so much for posting a reply to Inthedark123! Now I’m not so in the dark at all! I’ve done 5 liver flushes so far, getting quite a few stones out. The first flush that I did, I got a strange hardish, brownish thing, and it looked to me like it may have been stuck for a while in one of the ducts in the liver or gall bladder... who knows? Anyway, my Xanthelasma is not any worse... I thought a lot about the things on this forum that I’ve read, and figured that a liver flush or two couldn’t hurt. I’ve read that almonds are good for reducing cholesterol also, ...

I downloaded and printed out ”The Amazing Liver Cleanse” yesterday, and read it last night. I am very excited about trying your recommendations. Everything just falls into place and makes so much sense after reading the book - it answers many questions, and makes me feel very optimistic and determined. Thank you for putting pen to paper for all of us. Highly recommended!   [End]

Andreas, thank you for your informative answer. I was very pleased to see that both of your books that you recommended to me are available at 1stbooks.com as ebooks, which means that I can have them in my hands as soon as I can print them out...wonderful! I have my work cut out for me, I can see that. I agree with you in that I do not want to just mask the symptoms, I want to find the cause for them and change my lifestyle. I have been on a wonderfully rejuvinating raw food diet for several months now (all fruits and vegs and some nuts and seeds) and so have not had any cholesterol or a ...

Fatty deposits under the eyes are linked to lymphatic congestion in the ducts that drain the eyes. Since fats are transported via lymph to the liver (not via blood), having blocked bile ducts casues fats to be trapped in the lymph. Finding a way out, the fats are deposited in places of connective tissue that may be visible and invisible to the eyes, such as the colon, liver and kidneys. To remove the eye problem, you must make sure all these other places are cleaned out first. Surgey is only masking the symptom, making you think the problem is gone, and it may also damage the stomach merid ...

Dear Andreas, I have a cholesterol deposit under the skin above each eyelid (xanthelasma), and I’m assuming (because I haven’t consulted a doctor) that I have high cholesterol, which I am trying to lower naturally. I was considering surgery to get rid of the xanthelasma, because, while it poses no health hazard, it’s just so darn ugly - I am very self-conscious about it when I meet someone for the first time. I’ve done a 15 day master cleanse, and a mini 3 day one, in hopes of reducing them. I have also done 4 liver flushes using the Hulda Clark protocol. Do you think either of thes ...

Hi cherie! There’s a Master Cleanse/lemonade diet forum right here on curezone - I practically live there ;) Since I posted that message above, my spots have gotten even smaller. I know it’s taking longer than I would like, but heck surgery is not an option for me either - I could probably afford it but no way I am doing it! What I did - the master cleanse for 15 days, and then after that I became raw, that is to say, I started eating only uncooked fruits, vegs, nuts, seeds. There’s a raw forum here too ;) Also important, since cholesterol is formed and stored in the gall bladder/ ...

I know this message is 5 months old, but in case you’re checking back, inthedark123, I have xanthelasma too. It was THE main reason I started the lemonade master cleanse. I was scheduled for cosmetic surgery next week, after hearing that only surgery would make it go away, and not even a change in diet would affect it. I kept reading that the master cleanse made the body start feeding on its own diseased cells and deposits so I thought I’d try it before my surgery. I’m on day 12 of the cleanse, and the deposit above one eye is almost gone, and the other has flattened out. Amazing. After th ...

I do not know about your eye condition, but if you read the comments on this forum, you will see that quite a few people who do the liver cleanse and change there diet do lower their cholesterol.
