this video is for people with styes that

don’t necessarily want to take the

steroid injection or have it lanced or

don’t want to go on an antibiotic I’m

going to give you another solution which

I think is pretty scientific and when

we’re talking about science we’re

talking about the best theory and

there’s not a lot of data on this dye

but I did find some really interesting

information that will lead us to I think

the best alternative solution what is a

stye well it’s this little pimple or

pustule on your eyelid usually involving

a sebaceous gland

sebaceous glands are the oil glands so

apparently this gland is plugged up it’s

not draining and it involves an

infection it’s inflamed it’s red it’s

irritating and many times people just

let it go and within seven days it goes

away but what about these styes that

keep coming back over and over and over

what’s really behind this problem and

how can we get rid of it once and for

all so we want to ask some really

important questions what blocks a

sebaceous gland why is this bacteria

involved usually the staph bacteria in

this location of your eyelid and not

other places and I know there’s not a

lot of information about this topic but

what do we know about the sebaceous

gland what do we know about cyst what do

we know about this staph infection one

of the things that we know is that

diabetics have a much higher incidence

of styes they also have a much higher

incidence of staph infections as well as

cystic acne which is similar to this

stye problem but on the face not on the

eyelid it’s also interesting that

there’s a much higher incidence of boils

and cysts with diabetics as well so this

is what I found

sometimes the treatments involved what’s

called retinoids it’s a type of vitamin

A and we do know there’s this synthetic

vitamin A medication used for cystic

acne called Accutane but that has some

major side effects but anyway there’s

some interesting information on the

relationship between vitamin A and styes

but if we look at one very interesting

thing that can occur with a vitamin A

deficiency is that you can get this

hyper keratosis that’s a condition where

you’re getting this roughened extra

layer of skin tissue in a certain area

of the body inside the ducts which are

little tubes of the sebaceous gland or

the oil gland so that right there tells

us that a vitamin A deficiency can clog

up this oil gland and the sebum or the

oil can then build up and cause pressure

and inflammation so one big purpose of

vitamin A is it control the epithelial

layer that’s the outer portion of your

skin both external and internally like

even in your sinuses underneath your

eyelid or even in your digestive tract

so vitamin A controls that and if we’re

lacking that control we don’t

necessarily get the normal cells we can

get some abnormal cells as well and I

did find a study on humans and I’ll put

all this down below that showed a

significant vitamin A deficiency in

those who had a stye versus those who

did not and just as a side note there

are over a hundred and forty million

children with a vitamin A deficiency

worldwide so it’s a common deficiency in

fact for children it’s the second

greatest deficiency behind protein so

iron and zinc are big deficiencies but

vitamin A is also a very common

deficiency if someone has a vitamin A

deficiency it can alter the mucous

membranes of their eye as well as the

cornea and in some cases also cause dry

eye vitamin A is also intimately

involved in the immune system so when

someone’s deficient about M A they can

be a lot more susceptible to get getting

an infection now let’s shift gears to

this staph infection okay the staff

bacteria apparently and I mentioned this

before diabetics have a much greater

risk of having staph infections than

non-diabetics in one study with

uncontrolled blood sugars it was found

that there is a much greater impaired

immune reaction with the neutrophils

that’s like the front line defense cell

in their fighting ability with something

called superoxide that’s kind of like

the Weaponry that they use to kill

pathogens and they found this which I

think is very interesting when they

injected insulin and restored the blood

sugars to normal then neutrophils and

that superoxide went back to normal now

what does that mean in layperson’s terms

it means that if you have high blood

sugars your immune system is impaired

you also have something called insulin

resistance which means inside the cells

you actually have a deficiency of

insulin yet in the blood you might have

a lot of insulin but the insulin

resistance comes from having a diet

that’s very high in carbs and sugar and

so people with insulin resistance really

deep down inside have a insulin

deficiency and so when you give the

person more insulin all of a sudden

their immune system does better and

other things improve too but that’s not

the way to really ultimately fix

diabetes because diabetes is really a

disease of high sugar so what you want

to do is want to get the sugar out of

the diet you want to go on a low carb

diet for sure so we have the vitamin A

Connection we have this staph

connected to diabetes and blood sugar

connection and then we have vitamin D so

there’s another association with vitamin

D deficiency with just about every

single eye problem you can think of

involving glaucoma and cataracts and

overall inflammation in more

susceptibility to not just infections

but having styes and then we get to this

other nutrient called zinc now zinc is

important in reducing the incidence of

getting a stye so it might not help on

the front end but it can actually build

up your immune system to reduce the

recurrence of styes so before I kind of

summarize the best solution the question

is why would someone be deficient in

vitamin A isn’t that easy to get I mean

it’s in salad it’s in kale it’s in

spinach right not very much of the

retinol okay that’s the active form

there’s a lot of beta-carotene but

beta-carotene is not the active form of

vitamin A it is the precursor and so

you’d have to consume a tremendous

amount of kale to get barely any retinol

which is the active form of vitamin A at

all so it could be that you’re just not

consuming enough of the right foods that

have the active form of vitamin A that’s

number one number two you might have

some gut inflammation that can block the

absorption of vitamin A or a liver issue

or a gallbladder issue maybe you don’t

have a gallbladder or maybe you just

don’t have enough bile to absorb this

vitamin A from the food that you’re

eating now vitamin A the active form of

vitamin A retinol is very high in beef

liver which not a lot of people consume

that but it’s also high in eggs okay egg

yolks and there’s also some vitamin A

and fish as well but out of all the fish

or fish oil the cod liver oil has the

most vitamin A and cod liver oil has

vitamin D other things that can deplete

you of vitamin A would be a zinc

deficiency which is interesting that if

that’s connected also alcohol can do it

and even being on antibiotics so in

summary what should you be doing number

one you should be changing your diet

coming off the sugars going on the

healthy version of the ketogenic diet

which I will put a link right down below

also

in another study I found with mice when

they fed these mice a lot of sugar the

amount of staph bacteria went up

considerably so realize when you eat

sugar you’re kind of paralyzing your

immune system and also when you eat

sugar if you’re female you’re increasing

your androgens okay that’s there’s a

condition called PCOS polycystic ovarian

syndrome that comes from too much

Androgen but that’s really coming from

too much insulin because their diet is

too high in carbs and too much Androgen

increases something called sebum which

is the oil in this sebaceous gland or

the oil gland which is the exact thing

we’re trying to regulate and improve and

so the big takeaway is that too much

sugar kind of paralyzes the immune

system and it allows these pathogenic

bacteria to grow all over the place in

places where you probably have more

weaknesses than others like where you

have a vitamin A deficiency in the

sebaceous gland so that could explain

Lane why you have that problem and that

location it’s kind of The Perfect Storm

we have a blood sugar problem with a

vitamin A deficiency with maybe a zinc

deficiency with a vitamin D deficiency

but if you take cod liver oil you pretty

much handled your vitamin A and your

vitamin D and if you take some zinc that

just might also help you keep it from

coming back and I would probably take

200 milligrams for just one week okay

and then you can come down considerably

just to really fulfill any type of

deficiencies that you have and one last

thing that can help speed things up very

fast is to take a clove of garlic

do not get this in your eye okay because

it will burn on top of your eyelid

wherever that stye is and you just

gently rub it in there a few times a day

and that has something called Allison

which is a very powerful antibacterial

effect and you can even take the tea bag

from green tea okay so you drink the

green tea you take the tea bag let it

cool down a little bit maybe it’s a

little bit warm and have that on your

eyelid where this dye is as well and

that can greatly help but the thing to

start with right off the bat is to get

on this low carb diet and for more

information on that you should watch
