Is it true that rubbing a stye with a gold ring can cure it ?

No, it is a bacterial infection that usually goes away on its own within a few days, and if it doesn't, you need to see a doctor. Otherwise, the best thing to do is to put a warm compress on it for 5 - 10 minutes about 4 times a day.

April, get some medical grade tea tree oil, if the eye is OK that is good because that is the only place you do not want to use the oil (I have for stye's but it is not pleasant\n) It kills MRSA infections gone! As long as it is a localized infection. It worked for my son, (a long story) and 2 other people on here that have listened.

well, sty is an inflammation of the sebaceous glands at the base of the eyelashes.they are harmless but can be very painful,they are generally caused by a Staphylococcus bacteria infection,they are particularly common in infants.\nthe sty may form on either the inside or the outside of the eyelid.we have two types of sty:\n\n1-external sty (external hordeolum): will show as a tender, red swelling on the edge of the eyelid and will tend to drain itself quickly.\n2-internal sty (internal hordeolum): will also be tender and may show external red swelling,internal stys often take longer to heal because the abscess cannot drain as easily, these types of stys can also cause blurred vision and irritation.

This is an old wife's tale, but it has worked for me in the past.  Get a gold ring and rub it on the stye.  It reacts to something in the metal.\n\nhttp://www.freewebs.com/spiritualhealing

Chances are that it will form a head on it somewhat like a pimple and drain by itself.\nHere's some also recommended remedies. \n For Herbs: Prepare Raspberry Tea leaves and use it as an eyewash to alleviate the stye. Also apply a hot compress to the affected area for ten minutes four to six times daily to help relieve discomfort and to bring the stlye to a head so that it can have help to drain.\nStyles are often a sign of vitamin A deficiency, so stay up to date with your A intake. If the stye does not heal promptly it may need to be drained by a doctor. Do not squeeze the lump or attempt to drain it at home. This can cause the infection to spread into the bloodstream, leading to systemic illness.\nIf it's a stubborn stye, antibiotics may be needed.\n\nWishing you a prompt recovery....SmileyCat : )

I am not a doctor but I do read and do self study. I am glad to see that you are looking at natural means to help CURE your condition and not just blindly following the advice of "the chemical" medication doctors. First, let me say that you can cure your conditions all together, even though I know that you have been told otherwise. Buy a book called, "The Cure For All Diseases," by Dr. Hulda R. Clark, Ph.D., N.D. (See the links below.) And, get yourself a Zapper or a Parazapper that Dr. Clark invented, and use it on a regular basis !!! There are only two causes of diseases, Toxins and Parasites, and you can learn what is causing your conditions and kill off the parasites and learn to avoid (and cleanse out of you, also) the toxins. I also, regularly use an herbal product called Swedish Bitters, which has been around for at least 400 years or more. It is simply a combination of different herbs and is very bitter, but very effective as well. It can be used on the eyes (with clean cotton balls) and it helps to kill off parasites that can cause us to get sick as well. (Dr. Clark recommends others in her books, but she acknowledges that there are possibly many different herbs and combinations thereof that can help to remove toxins and parasites from the body.) Godspeed to you in finding out what is causing, and curing, your conditions.

It doesnt hurt it my opinion. They clamp it down with some kinda tool thats hurts just a little b/c its pinching your skin together but after that you really cant feel the ring go through!!!

It might be a stye. Here is the WebMD explaination of the problem.\n\n"A stye is an infection in the tiny oil glands along the edge of the eyelid that surround the base of an eyelash. It begins as a red, tender bump, and looks like a small pimple as it develops.\n\nA stye usually comes to a head (clear or yellow fluid collects in the stye) in about 3 days, after which it breaks open and drains and heals in about a week. Though the cause of a stye is often unknown, it can develop from rubbing the eyes or using products near the eyelid that can irritate the eye, both of which can transfer bacteria to the skin and cause infection.\n\nUsually, home treatment is all that is necessary to treat a stye. This includes not wearing eye makeup or contact lenses; allowing the stye to break open by itself; applying warm, wet compresses to the eye area; and using nonprescription medications. "

If you want serious help, you'll forget the gemstone business and get yourself to a doctor.  Just think about it this way... If there was something you could just wear that would cure it, you wouldn't have to look for the answer on the internet.  Every major pharmaceutical company would be selling them, and they'd be major headline news.

The answer seems to be to mix the gold with silver and wrap it in aluminum foil, thus eliminating the possibility of contamination.\n\nSee: http://www.gold.org/jewellery/technology/assay/

If you Mean on plastic lenses you will find not much luck in that. The fix they sell just makes a half way fix and all it does is coats the plastic so no one can se the scatch you are looking through it still just rubs off the next time you clean it too.
