Difference Between an Eye Infection and Eye Detoxification

The main difference between an eye infection and eye detoxification lies in their nature and treatment. Eye infections are caused by pathogenic microorganisms and require medical treatment with specific drugs according to allopathic medicine, although there are also more natural treatments like RCO, which we will discuss in this article.

In contrast, eye detoxification focuses on thoroughly cleansing symptoms caused by stress, fatigue, or exposure to toxins from medications or the intake of processed and chemical products. It usually involves preventive practices and ongoing, general eye care. During detoxification, accumulated toxins are removed, including those from medications, which can present temporary symptoms such as increased tearing, redness, burning or itching, temporary blurred vision, and a gritty feeling, among others. These symptoms indicate that the eye is eliminating toxins and adjusting to a healthier state.

An eye infection is a medical condition in which one or both eyes become inflamed due to the presence of pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. Eye infections can affect different parts of the eye, including the conjunctiva (conjunctivitis), the cornea (keratitis), the inside of the eye (endophthalmitis), or the eyelids (blepharitis).

Both eye infection and detoxification can have similar symptoms, but each leads to very different and radically opposite paths. To clarify, we want to explain what an infection is and what detoxification is, although in both functions, RCO with its ingredients can alleviate the infection and what it indeed does is a deep and gradual detoxification of the eye.

What is an Eye Infection?

The Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) does not have a specific definition for “eye infection” in its dictionary. However, we can break down the term into its components:

* Infection: It is the action and effect of infecting, i.e., when pathogenic microorganisms, such as viruses or bacteria, invade a living being and multiply in it (RAE).

* Ocular: Related to the eye (RAE).
Therefore, an “eye infection” can be understood as the invasion and multiplication of pathogenic microorganisms in the eye.

What are the Causes of an Eye Infection?

• Bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae.
• Viruses: Adenovirus, herpes simplex virus.
• Fungi: Candida, Aspergillus.
• Parasites: Acanthamoeba.

What are the Symptoms of an Eye Infection?

• Redness of the eye.
• Eye pain.
• Discharge (pus) that may be clear or thick.
• Itching or burning.
• Sensitivity to light (photophobia).
• Blurred vision.
• Excessive tearing.

What are the Common Types of Eye Infections and Their Causes?

1. Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye):
* Causes: Can be caused by viruses (such as adenovirus), bacteria (such as Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pneumoniae), allergens (such as pollen), or irritants (such as chlorine in swimming pools).
* Symptoms: Redness of the eye, discharge, itching, tearing, and a burning sensation.

2. Keratitis:
* Causes: Generally caused by bacteria (such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa), viruses (such as the herpes simplex virus), fungi (such as Fusarium), or parasites (such as Acanthamoeba).
* Symptoms: Intense eye pain, blurred vision, redness, light sensitivity, and eye discharge.

3. Blepharitis:
* Causes: Commonly caused by bacteria (such as Staphylococcus aureus), or it may be associated with skin diseases such as seborrheic dermatitis or acne rosacea.
* Symptoms: Inflammation and redness of the eyelids, scales at the base of the eyelashes, itching, and a burning sensation.

4. Endophthalmitis:
* Causes: Can result from eye surgery, an intraocular injection, or a penetrating injury to the eye. The pathogens involved are usually bacteria (such as Staphylococcus epidermidis or Streptococcus spp.).
* Symptoms: Severe eye pain, vision loss, redness, swelling, and purulent discharge.
After understanding the nature of an eye infection, let’s delve into what eye detoxification is.

What is Eye Detoxification?

The Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) defines “detoxification” as the action and effect of detoxifying (RAE). “Detoxify” means to eliminate intoxication or its effects from someone or something (RAE).
Eye detoxification refers to practices and treatments aimed at removing toxins and contaminants from the eye such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, thus improving overall eye health. These practices are exclusively part of alternative or natural medicine.

What are the Causes of Toxins in the Eye?

• Exposure to environmental pollutants (air conditioning, chlorine in swimming pools, dust, smoke, chemicals, etc.).
• Prolonged use of digital screens.
• Use of dirty or poorly fitted contact lenses.
• Use of lens cleaning fluid containing toxins.
• Poor diet and dehydration.
• Accumulation of toxins from medications.

What Symptoms Indicate the Need for Detoxification?

• Eye fatigue.
• Dry or irritated eyes.
• Redness.
• Gritty sensation in the eyes.
• Temporary blurred vision.
• Headache associated with eye fatigue.

What Temporary Symptoms Occur During Eye Detoxification?

When the eye is undergoing a detoxification process, it may exhibit some temporary symptoms as toxins are eliminated and it adjusts to a healthier state. Here we present the most common ones, which do not always occur because they depend on the amount of accumulated toxins and pathogens, especially those acquired in hospitals. These symptoms may be experienced simultaneously. It is important to remember that these symptoms are temporary as they are what is called a “healing crisis,” a phase of temporary aggravation of disease symptoms that occurs during the treatment process. According to homeopathic theory, this healing crisis is a positive indication that the homeopathic remedy is working and that the body is responding to the treatment.

• Red eyes: Redness due to inflammation or irritation.
• Itching: Itchy sensation in the eyes.
• Excessive tearing: Increased production of tears.
• Burning sensation: Burning sensation in the eyes.
• Blurred vision: Difficulty focusing clearly.
• Dry eyes: Feeling of dryness in the eyes.
• Light sensitivity: Discomfort or pain when exposed to bright light.
• Eyelid inflammation: Swelling of the eyelids.
• Mucous discharge (eye mucus): Appearance of mucus around the eyes.
• Foreign body sensation: Feeling of having something in the eye.
• Eye pain: Pain in and around the eyes.
• Changes in night vision: Difficulty seeing clearly in low light conditions.
• Difficulty opening eyes upon waking: Sticky eyes upon waking due to the accumulation of secretions overnight.

How Does the Eye Naturally Cleanse Itself?

To better understand this natural eye cleansing, we will explore the anatomical and physical barriers, the cleaning processes, and the immune responses involved:

Anatomical and Physical Barriers:

1. Eyelids and Eyelashes:
* Function: Protect the eye from dust, foreign particles, and microorganisms. Blinking distributes the tear film over the ocular surface and helps remove particles.
* Mechanism: Blinking pushes tears toward the tear ducts, facilitating the removal of residues.

2. Tear Film:
* Function: Lubricates, nourishes, and protects the eye.
* Composition: Consists of three layers: lipid (reduces evaporation), aqueous (contains water, proteins, and electrolytes), and mucous (allows the tear to adhere to the eye).
* Protection Mechanisms: Includes lysozyme (antibacterial enzyme), lactoferrin (protein that inhibits bacterial growth), and immunoglobulins (antibodies).

Cleaning Processes:

1. Tear Production:
* Function: Keeps the ocular surface clean and moist.
* Mechanism: Tears flow from the glands to the eye and then drain into the nasolacrimal ducts, removing microorganisms and particles.

2. Tear Drainage:
* Function: Ensures the elimination of tears and foreign materials.
* Mechanism: Tears drain through the puncta, located at the corners of the eyelids, into the nasal cavity.

Immune Responses:

1. Immune Cells in the Conjunctiva:
* Function: Identify and respond to pathogens.
* Mechanism: Trigger immune responses to neutralize foreign antigens.

2. Innate and Adaptive Immunity:
* Function: Fights infections using specific and nonspecific responses.
* Mechanisms: Includes the action of complement proteins and cells like macrophages (innate) and the production of antibodies (adaptive).

Additional Mechanisms:

1. Aqueous Humor Flow:
* Function: Transports nutrients and eliminates wastes.
* Mechanism: Flows through the anterior chamber, maintaining intraocular pressure and removing toxins.

2. Phagocytosis in the Retina:
* Function: Removes damaged cells and pathogens.
* Mechanism: Microglial cells phagocytize foreign material, cleansing the retina.

These mechanisms work together to maintain ocular health and protect the eye from infections and damage. Maintaining good eye hygiene is crucial to support these natural defense processes. If our bodies did not accumulate so many toxins, these mechanisms would be sufficient to preserve ocular health without external help. However, given the toxin-filled environment we live in, additional support is often necessary to maintain balance and eye health.

How Does RCO Speed Up Detoxification?

This is where the Ocular Cell Regenerator (RCO) comes in, with its 100% natural ingredients and enhanced formula through Kangen and Grander technology, and soon, Quantum patches, it helps speed up detoxification. Since it works with the body’s natural mechanisms, it can take years, thus potentially fostering chronic eye disease.

Our eyes strive daily to eliminate a variety of toxins that we ingest, absorb, breathe, and experience, even at an energetic level. Since they cannot fully process all these substances, there has been a notable increase in eye diseases in recent years.

This is where RCO, with ingredients such as chlorophyll, which has antimicrobial properties that can inhibit the growth of some bacteria due to its ability to destroy bacterial cell membranes; honey, which contains hydrogen peroxide and other specific antibacterial compounds that inhibit bacterial growth and can be used topically for skin infections or ingested for internal infections; chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla), which has antimicrobial properties that can help fight certain bacteria and fungi and can be used to reduce inflammation and prevent mild eye infections; and aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis leaf), which has antimicrobial properties and can help fight bacterial and fungal infections, as well as being known for its ability to accelerate wound healing.

These and some secret ingredients make RCO a unique product in the market as 100% natural moisturizing tears that help speed up detoxification and disinfection of the ocular organs, albeit progressively.
