The Antibiotics Can Damage Eyes and Vision
How Antibiotics Can Damage Eyes and Vision
The eyes are one of the most difficult body parts to treat once they’ve been beset by vision problems such as retinopathy and macular degeneration. As medical science advances, however, more and more progress is made with drugs that can effectively stem the tide of vision loss; despite this promising advancement, it is very important to become familiar with the general side effects of these drugs. Luckily, there are measures that a patient can take to alleviate or even eliminate some of these side effects.
Antibiotics and the Eyes
Antibiotics are generally credited as one of the pivotal discoveries in the early twentieth century because of their ability to provide an adequate response to previously devastating, unseen illness. Although antibiotics have improved greatly in the past few decades, many of them have side effects that can adversely affect the vision. Some oral antibiotics have been linked with retinal detachment, which is an affliction often seen in boxers because of the traumatic nature of the sport. Oral antibiotics such as Levaquin, Zoxin, and Cipro should be taken with this in mind.
The list of collateral ailments doesn’t stop with oral antibiotics; there are also topical ones known to cause both lesser and more serious symptoms. Take, for example, a few synthetic penicillins: ampicillin and amoxicillin can result in itching and redness. Towards the more serious end of the spectrum, they’ve been known to cause internal bleeding in blood vessels, but this is quite rare. Other antibiotics are known to cause eye problems such as the following:
- sensitivity to bright lights;
- dry eye syndrome;
- allergic conjunctivitis (red eye);
- temporary vision distortion, which can even progress to outright night blindness; and
- increased risk of glaucoma, especially in patients who already have diabetes.
All in all, there’s a takeaway from this that is worth considering to those in need of eye care: antibiotics are not always what they’re cracked up to be. While helpful to many people, the side effects can range from discomforting to substantial and dangerous. Antibiotics tend to be used too often, which not only reduces their effectiveness when a real serious threat to health comes along, they also alter the body’s natural chemistry.

To protect HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE accureately
23share10 0 2
Life today is reeling under immense pressure. The sun may set but the worries won’t end and amidst this crisis of peace in our lives, our blood pressure keeps shooting up day by day. In medical terms, high blood pressure is also called Hypertension. If the blood pressure is at an improper level of 140/90 mmHg or higher, then it means you are suffering from high blood pressure.
Before taking an insight and learning how to treat high blood pressure, let us take a brief look over the symptoms of high blood pressure, it’s causes and the effects of high blood pressure.
Symptoms of High Blood Pressure:
- Shortness of breath
- Sleep disturbance
- Severe headaches
- Chest pain
- Nausea and Vomiting
- Blurred vision
- Fatigue and Dizziness
Causes of High Blood Pressure
- Smoking
- Being overweight or obese
- Lack of physical activity
- Too much salt in the diet
- Too much alcohol consumption (more than 1 to 2 drinks per day)
- Stress
- Old age
- Genetics
- Family history of high blood pressure (Hereditary)
- Chronic kidney disease
- Adrenal and thyroid disorders
Effects of High Blood Pressure
1. Cerebral stroke
High blood pressure leads to weakening of blood vessels, which lead to rupture and bleeding, thus leading to a stroke. The other parts of the brain may not receive the blood supply causing the brain cells to die. High blood pressure can also clot the arteries leading to your brain.
2. Heart Failure
High blood pressure may not allow blood to flow freely through the arteries to the heart. It is responsible for heart-muscle fatigue. Thus, the heart works with lesser efficiency and does not pump enough blood as per the needs of the body. Such a strained heart can eventually fail.
3. Kidney damage
High blood pressure can damage the tiny blood vessels within the kidney. This reduces the filtering of fluids and waste from the body. It may even lead to kidney failure. The above mentioned harmful wastes keep on accumulating in the body, forcing you to go for a dialysis on a regular basis.
4. Arteries
High blood pressure introduces stiffness in the arteries that carry blood to your heart and kidney. The organs have to work harder to make the flow smooth.
5. Eyes
Eyes are extremely sensitive and rise in blood pressure beyond a point is harmful for them. If the blood vessels of the eyes burst, you can even turn blind.
6. Diabetes
Diabetes and high blood pressure are inter-related. High blood pressure complicates diabetes further by making a diabetic patient suffer from diabetic eye or kidney problems. Also, diabetics are prone to suffer from hypertension or high blood pressure.
How to Treat High Blood Pressure
When dealing with high blood pressure it is essential to start treatment quickly. The effects of hypertension are troublesome and you need to tame them before they get higher. The solutions for high blood pressure are:
- Home Remedies for High Blood Pressure
- Medication
- Lifestyle Changes
Home Remedies for High Blood Pressure:
Some home remedies for high blood pressure are as follows:
1. Green Tea
- Regular intake of green tea reduces the blood pressure levels. Due to the healthy and healing effect of green tea, it has become an important natural resource for controlling high blood pressure.
- Green tea contains lots of anti-oxidants (catechins), which help protect the heart and blood vessels. It is safe to consume two to three cups of green tea on a regular basis.
- Consuming green tea regulates the pressure in blood and the threats caused due to high blood pressure can also be avoided.
- Green tea is more effective over systolic blood pressure as compared to the diastolic blood pressure. Systolic blood pressure is related to the blood coming out of your heart. Diastolic blood pressure is the level of blood pressure between two consecutive heart beats.
- Green tea consumption when combined with regular exercise and a healthy diet can really help to quite an extent in lowering the blood pressure.
2. Beetroot Juice
- Beetroot juice is a rich source of nitrate, which converts into nitric oxide. This nitric oxide is a vasodilator and helps in normalizing the flow of blood inside the blood vessels.
- 500 ml of beetroot juice can significantly bring down the blood pressure, specifically systolic blood pressure by 10mmHg. Drinking 250 ml of beetroot juice everyday can serve as a powerful remedy for controlling high blood pressure.
- A scientific research further confirmed these facts when 25 individuals of age group 18-64 years were subjected to different quantities of beetroot juice and water. The higher the level of beetroot juice consumed; the lower was the level of blood pressure in an individual. In case of individuals with plain water consumption, the blood pressure was higher than normal. Thus, you can deduce that beetroot juice is a powerful vegetable extract in reducing high blood pressure.
3. Eating Guava Before the Meals
- Guava is one of the popular fruits of Asian countries and is being referred to as the “fruit of the tropics.”
- Guavas are very rich in fiber, antioxidants and vitamins and are hypoglycemic in nature.
- Guavas help in maintaining the normal fluid content of blood thus, making blood flow smooth and helping it continue at an optimum pressure.
- Guavas can help reduce the cholesterol content in the blood. More over its hypoglycemic nature plays a very powerful role in reducing the blood pressure. These days we consume a lot of food that is lacking in fiber. Due to this, they quickly get converted into sugar, and this sugar content obstructs the normal blood flow. High blood pressure is thus caused.
- The beneficial effects of eating guava before meals, in lowering blood pressure have been further studied in various researches. In one such scientific study, a 100 people were asked to participate. Among them, 50 had guavas before their meals and 50 were given their usual diet. After 13 weeks of this repeated activity, the blood pressure of each individual was recorded. The ones who were consuming guava had an average reduction in blood pressure by eight points. But those who continued to eat normally, had their usual high blood pressure levels, no progress made.
4. Aged Garlic Extract
- The extract from fresh garlic, which is stored over a prolonged period of time is called‘Aged garlic extract (AGE).’
- AGE protects, as well as enhances the growth of endothelial cells that line the blood vessels. It is also a powerful antioxidant. It performs the action of inhibiting oxidative damage of the endothelium. Stress factors, including smoking, drinking, improper diet and hectic lifestyles can cause a great damage to the endothelium cells. But eating AGE helps to treat them.
- 25 people were given AGE at a dose of 800 mg/day, for six months continuously. Cholesterol levels and blood pressure were measured on a monthly basis for every individual. AGE treatment resulted in a 5.5 percent decrease in systolic blood pressure and a smaller decrease in diastolic pressure. The researchers found that total cholesterol levels were lowered by an average of six to seven percent.
- Thus aged garlic extract is one of the simplest ways to get rid of high blood pressure, when taken regularly.
5. Green Coffee Bean Extract
- Green coffee bean extract is the latest buzz on the health market today and investigations have considerably increased about it. It is very useful in promoting good health, like controlling high blood pressure.
- Another big advantage of green coffee bean extract is that it is natural and has no side-effects. They are just like green tea in nature and properties. Just like green tea they are rich in anti-oxidants (30%). The anti-oxidants in green coffee beans are chlorogenic acids (CGA).
- The process of preparation of green coffee bean extracts (GCBE) is exactly like that of black tea. The original green coffee beans are processed from their original state, just as in case of processing of black tea from green tea leaves.
- As low as 185 mg of green coffee beans can have a significant impact in controlling high blood pressure.
- A study using green coffee beans was being conducted over a period of one month and with 117 individuals, who were suffering from high blood pressure. The results were in favor of green coffee beans. The greater the dose of green coffee beans, the greater the improvement in the health of the individuals because of the lowering of high blood pressure. The ones who did not consume the green coffee beans continued to suffer from high blood pressure. It is important to note that these are dose-relatedness findings, since these dose-relatedness findings are a clear cut evidence that a studied treatment is actually effective.
6. Blueberry
- Blueberry is another fruit which is good to taste as well as good for the health. The use of blueberries in various preparations is gaining immense importance due to the enriching properties of blueberries.
- Blueberries are rich in polyphenolic anti-oxidants, which are beneficial in avoiding strokes, and may have vasorelaxation effects. Thus the same fruit can serve the dual purpose of repairing your blood vessels (done by polyphenolic antioxidants) as well as relaxing them , to promote smoother blood flow.
- In a scientific research program, rats were subjected to 3% dried and frozen blueberries for over 8 weeks. The results indicate that a mere 3% blueberry diet is capable of delaying the beginning as well as reducing the duration of hypertension to quite an extent.
Other Ways to Treat High Blood Pressure:
1. Medication:
Medication is a powerful method to control high blood pressure. Various medicines marketed under different brands have been used for medication of high blood pressure. A broad categorization of the medicines used for treatment of high blood pressure are as follows:
- Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors
- Angiotensin receptor blockers
- Calcium-channel blockers
- ‘Water’ tablets (diuretics)
- Beta-blockers
2. Medication for High Blood Pressure v/s Home Remedies for High Blood Pressure
There are plenty of medecines in the market to lower the blood pressure. But, they have potential side-effects like: kidney damage, imparting weakness to the limbs, insomnia, skin rashes, increased asthma symptoms etc. Here, lies the importance of home remedies for treating high blood pressure. The indigenously made medicinal weaponry has no side-effects or additional health hazards, unless someone is allergic to some of the naturally occurring substances. These indigenous weapons can fight and control high blood pressure more effectively than the medicines. They have no side effects and the blood pressure lowering effect of home remedies lasts longer when compared with the usual medicines.
3. Changes in Lifestyle:
The way we live and the habits we have contribute a lot towards our health. It is high time to admit that the lifestyle, which we have adopted, is one of the top evils in spoiling our health and chief cause of common health problems. We need to identify the wrong practices in our lifestyle and change them or rather eliminate them from our daily routine.
Some wrong approaches which we need to get rid of immediately are:
- No Tobacco
- No Alcohol
- No junk or contaminated foods
Some of the healthy practices we need to pursue in order to keep the blood pressure in check are as follows:
- Checking BP regularly: BP machines are available at reasonable prices at various medical stores or online. Purchase one for your home. Make it a point to check your BP at regular intervals.
- Eating a Healthy and Balanced Diet: Cut down the junk from your meals and consume healthy food and a balanced diet. You will notice a significant decrease in your blood pressure levels.
- Maintaining Proper Weight: This is the toughest practice to implement. Start by eating and drinking right and add physical activity in your life. This will help you maintain your weight.
- Regular Exercise: Exercising imparts strength to your muscles and helps you maintain proper BMI ratio/weight. All this is beneficial for reducing hypertension.
- Reduce the Consumption of Salt: Salt is a very important substance. Without it, the most delicious cuisines of all are just rendered unpalatable. For patients with high blood pressure, consumption of salt, must be minimal. Excessive salt can cause thickness and stiffness in arteries that can induce strokes and deteriorate the filtering capacity of kidneys.
These practical solutions are almost ineffective if one golden therapy for controlling high blood pressure isn’t being followed. This golden therapy is called Happiness. Just relax and follow the remedies with happiness and a positive mood. Thank God for the wonderful life you have, make sure you live happily and tackle all problems peacefully.
Changing yourself and combating diseases is easier if you are positive in your belief.

Most Powerful Foods to eliminate bad Bacteria
Here are 10 of the most powerful foods to eliminate bad bacteria and strengthen your immune system:
1. Garlic and Onions
Garlic and onions have been used for ages to treat all sorts of illnesses and inflammation. It thanks its antibacterial properties to sulfur compounds, allicin, and many other antioxidants which kill bacteria, viruses and fungi. You can add garlic and/or onions to a wide range of dishes, cooked or raw.
2. Turmeric
Curcumin, a powerful antioxidant found in the turmeric root, has been used in Ayurvedic medicine to treat stomach ulcers, indigestion, heart diseases, and viral and bacterial infections. You can use raw turmeric root or dried powdered in smoothies, Indian-style dishes, teas, or sprinkled on rice or salads. Always combine with black pepper to amplify the effect and make curcumin more available for your body.
3. Ginger
Ginger is well known for its stomach soothing and anti-nausea effect. Ginger will not only help you to keep your food in when you’re sick, but its phenols have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties as well. Works great in tea, smoothies, soups, and Asian style dishes.
4. Coconut oil
Its medium chained fatty acids (lauric acid) are great for your heart health and have antibacterial and antiviral effects. Lauric acid, also found in breast milk, destroys pathogens by dissolving their fatty cell wall. We cook nearly all or dishes with coconut oil or often add a spoonful to our morning smoothies.
5. Honey
Honey has been used as an antibiotic to treat wounds and illness for ages. Its enzymes produce hydrogen peroxides which can kill bacteria and stop their growth.
6. Cinnamon
Love cinnamon for its taste and antibacterial and antifungal properties. Its medicinal properties come for the oils found in the bark. It is active against more than 60 strains of bacteria and suppresses the growth of fungi as well. For a better effect combine with honey.
7. Cruciferous
When you’re sick it is best to incorporate more healing, anti-inflammatory cruciferous vegetables to your diet. Those include cabbage, kale, cauliflower, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. They are high in vitamin C to strengthen your immune system and kill invading bacteria. Raw vegetables contain more beneficial phytonutrients. So next to cooking them for dinner try green juices and smoothies as a natural liquid form of antibiotics. Click here to download my FREE green smoothie eBook.
8. Tea Tree Essential Oil
Tea tree essential oil has antibacterial and antifungal properties. Its most common use is to treat cuts, acne, nail fungus, and lung infections. Tea tree oil can be used in toothpaste, lip balms, lotions, soaps, or as a spot-on treatment (test on a small patch first as some people show allergic reactions to this oil).
9. Fermented Food or Probiotics
These add beneficial bacteria to your digestive system, which help to kill bad bacteria or restore the balance after an antibiotic cure. Fermented foods include yogurt, sauerkraut, raw pickles, kim chi, kombucha, and cultured vegetables.
10. Echinacea
Echinacea tea or cough syrup has been used for ages to treat the flu, cold, or sore throat. It works anti-inflammatory and acts as an antiviral and antibacterial agent.
FYI: Other Beneficial Herbs
There are many other beneficial herbs with antibiotic properties for you to try. So try and flavor your dishes or teas with those on a regular basis to fight bacteria and strengthen your immune system
