I believe I got iritis from drawing for hours in poor light. I believe it was brought on by eye strain. Anyway, fasting turned a miserable experience into an empowering experience. You can use it with colds, flu, tonsilitis, arthritis, bronchitis, cystitis.... On and on.

It is sufficient to do just a "fruit fast" - just fresh fruit and water. Absolutely no milk or other fatty foods for the duration. The inflammation should clear quickly as silver fox mentioned - should definitely be gone by the second or third day at the latest.
I also used to use fruit fasts to clear Ankylosing Spondylitis inflammation (AS is associated with iritis). In this case all fruits containing starch should be avoided too: no bananas or stone fruits. Good fruits to use are: grapes, pears, apples, melons, oranges, mandarins. In the case of AS you should find relief from pain and inflammation on the third day of the fruit fast.
