04/28/2013: Ray from Grambling, Louisiana: "I have pterygium growth in my right eye. Disturbed my body image. My eyes turn red most time. My ophthalmologist prescribed me FML Forte, a steroid with serious side effects. I need to go get the castor oil right away."

08/26/2012: Clear81 from Shenzhen, Guangdong, China replies: "Hi Kamo, May I know what is your development for using castor oil for your Pterygium? I would like to know what is the brand of Castor oil you are using? In my case, I stop using it since I do not see any effect on it except I sleep deep and wake up refreshed. I just put a few drops in my finger and gently put it in my eyelid where the pterygium is. How did you apply it? thanks"

03/12/2013: Jt from Racine, Wisconsin replies: "I'm very interested in the castor oil/coconut oil treatment for pterygium. I've had both eyes operated on to remove the growth, and another to remove scar tissue that has formed after surgery on my right eye. The right eye is constantly red and at times very irritated. Eye drops help somewhat but not for long. My left eye gets what feels like a nerve zinger every so often and it's not fun. I have scheduled yet another appt. For my opthamologist to check it out. I have had horrendous pain after both surgeries. Only until the 3rd surgery did I take painkillers which made a huge difference in my sanity and I was at least able to sleep. No body told me how much pain I'd have post- op. And when I complained they looked at me like I was from another planet. I always knew I was sensitive but that was ridiculous. Anyway, I'm now wondering if the oils ( castor and/or coconut) are able to help my scarred eye as well. Anybody have this problem or had surgery to remove the scar tissue? I'm a 57 yr old woman and I'm so tired of surgery. This has all taken place within the last 2 1/2 years, and it's killing my pocketbook and my nerves. I appreciate any help you might have.

JT"

03/20/2012: Clear81 from Shenzhen, Guangdong, China replies: "Hi Mel and others, How's the development of your pterygium treatment using the Castor oil? I would like to know because I am eager to try it too on my one eye. Your post has been 2 years ago and I tried sending you a mail but I don't know how so I just post it here.

Any feedbacks from the others who tried it? Thank you in advance for your post.

Regards, R"

10/22/2012: Lester from Tobago replies: "Hi I have a pterigium in both my eyes for the past 44 years it means from birth and I am anxious to have it removed please advise me on how to apply the castor oil. ASAP my email is symple6(at)yahoo.com"

10/24/2012: Wayseer from Motown, Ca/ Usa replies: "Hi Lester! Just a thought, but I am eating lots of raw organic honey in the comb -with royal bee jelly- after hearing about a radiologist telling a man with severe corneal problems to, "Just eat as much raw honey with royal bee jelly as you can handle, " and that this very serious eye problem was soon healed completely.

I now have no floaters or fuzziness, and my vision is improving! You just chew the wax awhile, then spit it out, if eaten by the spoonfull. It has good stuff for you, and can be spread on warm toast with wax eaten too. You won't even notice, and it's lovely, really good. --T."

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  05/17/2013: Soange from Douglasville, Georgia, Usa: "Pterygium: Hello All, I am so excited I don't know how to tell my story. I have had these blotches in my eyes pretty much all my life. I had just accepted it until about four years ago when my vision began to be blurry. I don't know what they are; never been diagnos. I came across the Castor Oil treament and said to my self, it can't hurt to try. All I can say is, those dark brown, reddish, yellowish spots in my eyes have reduced in color and dimension and my Vision has improved beyond my expectation. Where they were brown, they are now yellowish, reddish has disappear; and yellowish is now very faint cream. It is working!!! I see a vast improvement for the time I have been using it, 2 weeks. I am going to keep it up. My treatment:

• 1 drop of Castor Oil in each eye at night (if I know I am not going back out, I start early)
• 1 drop of Activated Charcoal Eyedrop (found here on EC, on how to make)

I let the Castor Oil do it's thing for a couple of hours, follow by the Activated Charcoal Eye Drops

The first couple of nights, I had something like puss all over my eyes, I knew there was more going on there. Thanks EC!!!"

06/27/2011: Ingramzoo from Deltona, Fl: "My husband has been suffering from pterygiums in both eyes (benign wing like growths). We have been advised to have them removed since one of them is beginning to cross the pupil area. Does anyone have experience in treating these without surgery?"

08/22/2011: Patti from Moorestown, Nj replies: "I had a pterygium removed and it grew right back! I have them on all four sides, they say it's genetic but no one in my family had ever heard of them. I was told that if it grew over my pupil, I wouldn't be able to see, so I had the surgery and it was awful! I have been watching it since and it grew back but not any further than it was, so I'm leaving it alone. I don't know what to do other than continual use of Refresh Tears or something like that to keep the eye moist; dry eye is part of it. My vision has changed b/c of it, but I still don't need glasses. My advice is to have your husband look into anything that could keep him from having surgery. Good luck!"

02/12/2012: Farrlinn from Long Beach, Ca replies: "Hi, I wanted to know if the Castor Oil is still working for you? I've already had one surgery for an inflammed ptygerium and the recovery was horrific. I suffered for horrible scar tissue and ultimately sought Accupuncture to help with the pain/scar tissue. I got relief, but now I'm afraid it is growing back and I'm in a lot of pain. Any feedback is much appreciated.

Farrlinn"

03/31/2012: Clear from China, Guangdong replies: "Hi Farrlinn, Did you ever tried the Castor oil as what Mel did? I just bought CO in Hongkong today in Worldwide Plaza Fanda Pharmacy and I will try it tonight. I hope I could gain results. I will update this board for the development. My eye doctor says my Pterygium is still small and I have to wait until it grows bigger to have it remove by surgery but he said it will still come back in due time. Oh...

Regards, R.."

04/26/2012: Speedteq from Phoenix, Arizona, United States replies: "I have suffered from these for a number of years and everytime I went to the eye doctor they really never told me any details only that they weren't harmful. After looking this up on the site and being a new user here I noticed there was quite a bit of detail and it all pointed to lubrication. I have recently started using 100% pure , Virgin Coconut oil to help with some other issues. I started to think about just how good of a lubricant this seemed to be so I tried a experiment and took a cotton swab and lubricated the corners of my eyes.

The result was my vision became slightly blurred as I would have expected and there was zero irritation that was my greatest concern and I was prepared to rinse my eyes. My eyes felt really good so I did this before bed. By morning the size had been reduced to over 1/2 and I could actually see such a huge improvement plus my eyes where visably whiter. The next evening I repeated the process and applied abit more to the corners of my eyes so the Coconut oil would migrate over and I did this once again before bed because it did make my vision blurred. In the morning the long time "bumps" were nearly gone and I am now going to repeat this for the third evening tonight with great expectation that my eyes will once again be clear."

06/17/2012: Onceprettyeyes from Phoenix, Az replies: "Hi Speedteq: I am also in Phoenix and have a HORRIBLE pterygium in my right eye. How has the coconut oil been working for you? This is the first time I heard of castor oil or coconut oil being helpful- I thought that I'd have to have surgery. I am going to purchase coconut oil tomorrow and see how it works for me as well. I would love to hear back from you."

08/26/2012: Clear81 from Shenzhen, Guangdong, China replies: "Hi Speedteq, How is your eye now? Any update? I just log on again after a few months and saw your post. I will try again tonight using virgin coconut oil and hope I will have improvement. Wish me luck."

10/04/2012: Radhika from New Delhi, India replies: "hi speedteq, I developed pterygium in my left eye 9 years back and another one in my right eye around 2 years back. My doctor has advised me to undergo surgery and I am terrified just by the idea of undergoing surgery.. This is the first time I have ever heard or read about coconut oil and am going to try it tonight itself..... wish me luck and I hope it works the same for me as it did for you."

01/03/2013: Sally from Dalian City, China replies: "hello everyone! I am so glad to find this site. Just like everybody, I've got pterygium too and I've been worried for the past months. I've been hoping for other ways to cure my eyes. I plan to go to the store now to find virgin coconut oil. I am very excited and I hope and pray that it is going to work."

11/29/2012: Scottish Doctor from Glasgow, Scotland replies: "pterigium is a government created parasite that grows in ones eye, doctors have been trained by the 54& to tell patients that pterigium is harmless and only need to be removed when it enters the pupil, unfortunalty this is not true, pterigium decreases brain function, and this occur proportionate to it's size. One in the right eye decreases left brain function and vice versa. Do no trust fda doctors, treat your pterigium with coconut oil."

04/12/2013: Clear81 from Shenzhen, Guangdong, China replies: "Hi All, Any updates on your treatment using Virgin coconut oil or castor oil? I had my ptyregium removed in my right eye recently and I develop a red portion from my inner eye going to the pupil. I am now treatin it with Virgin coconut oil by putting a few drops before bed time. I will update you after a week for any improvement.

Aishwarya from Nagpur, India: How can we get this drops that you are talking about? Any testimonies or proof of its effectiveness?

Scottish Doctor from Glasgow, Scotland,

Can you explain further on your statement about pterigium decreases brain function and pterigium is a government created parasite? Thank you"
