so a lot of people have this sensation

could be pain soreness behind their eyes

and they’ve tried everything to try to

figure it out so today I’m going to tell

you what’s really behind this typically

it could be multiple things but most the

time it’s this one thing now it could

also be that you’re sensitive to light

it could be tenderness on the top of

your eye right through here on this bone

or underneath on both sides okay around

the orbits you can also have like this

eye strain or uncontrollable tears so

what is really behind this well this is

a hypersensitivity of a certain nerve

called the trigeminal nerve which is

right behind your eyes and so you get

these symptoms and you might think the

problem is this nerve right and so you

may have a steroid injection or some

medication and it never seems to go away

because the hypersensitivity of the

nerve is just the tip of the iceberg

there’s something going on underneath

and I’m going to tell you this

Progressive stage of things that happens

before you get these symptoms so the

first thing that happens is you get

something called chickenpox varicella

and the great majority of the population

had chickenpox now when you get

Chickenpox your immune system comes in

the acquired immune system okay not the

innate immune system that you’re born

with and starts to make antibodies

against this virus and you’re pretty

much protected for about 50 years but as

soon as these antibodies don’t work

anymore uh you’re more susceptible to

having symptoms like shingles shingles

is called herpes zoster okay that is the

same virus as the chickenpox varicella

same exact thing it may create a

full-blown shingles presentation or it

may give you a little hint that the

shingles is coming and that is the

hypersensitivity to the trigeminal nerve

because that virus hides out in the

sensory nerves and it waits until the

perfect opportunity when your immune

system is lowered and the environment is

just right that pain behind eyes is

really coming from kind of a

manifestation of this shingles and

there’s certain things that will bring

out this virus address and reactivate it

one of the big things is cold okay

during the winter months this is very

important to know because if you can

just avoid excessive cold if you go

outside dress very warmly cover your

entire body if you’re in the house make

sure it’s slightly warmer and you might

not realize it so here you are going out

in the cold spending a lot of time

outside in the winter and wondering why

do you have pain behind the eyes right

but it’s all about getting rid of some

of these triggers and also improving

your immune system

another trigger is pressure sometimes

from the weather when the weather

changes then it can be reactivated and

that’s a hard trigger to get rid of

because

I don’t have a solution for that one

okay I think the solution is just to

build up your immune system so you’re

really bulletproofed

the other trigger and this is a big one

is stress okay and there’s all sorts of

variations of stress and you might be

thinking well I’m not really going

through stress but if you really look at

it

um we are bathed in stress mental stress

constantly from the news from even

certain videos that we watch in movies

that we watch that keep us in this fear

mode so anything that does that needs to

be addressed I created a video just in

the one topic and I will put it down

below I think it’s really really

important but the stress factor is a

really big one because the cortisol

that’s activated by the stress literally

it paralyzes the white blood cell when

you go through stress and I think women

when they go through menopause they lose

the ovary function okay and then the

adrenals have to take over and there’s

always this Spike of cortisol and then

cortisol suppresses the immune system

and then that’s when these symptoms pop

out

and I also did a video on how to build

up

these hormones during menopause right

I’ll put that video down below it has to

do with feeding these hormones the

precursor for the hormones which is

cholesterol and by the way as a side

note anything that lowers cholesterol

and I won’t mention any

medication names or statins which is a

precursor of these hormones and just

doing that can activate certain types of

viruses that were in remission for years

but are now reactivated and another

stress believe it or not is vaccinations

actually vaccinations weaken the immune

system I’m not telling you not to take a

vaccination or take one I’m just giving

you the information two other big

triggers number one a vitamin D

deficiency because that automatically

makes your immune system weak and also a

zinc deficiency both of those

deficiencies will set you up for having

more problems so I’m just giving you a

bunch of things to think about but if

you take a look at the big picture if

you really focus on prevention because

this virus is playing hide and go seek

it comes out of remission and it goes

back in remission when your resistance

is stronger so the key thing to really

focus on is your sleep keeping in

regular exercise keeping the stress you

know under control keeping your diet

really good and if you I’ve watched any

of my videos do you know exactly what to

do with that but I just wanted to give

you some information that could be the

underlying cause of the pain behind your

eyes and this is based on a real

interesting book that I just read and

I’ll put that link down below as well

now if you haven’t seen my recent video

on cortisol okay

and how to lower it uh you should

definitely watch it and I put that one

up right here
