The Eyeball -- A Self-Cleansing Organ

Could it be that the eyeball was, in ancient times, a "self-cleansing organ?"

If this were true would that mean that ancient man had good, perhaps perfect, eyesight for his entire life -- barring physical injuries or whatever may have existed THEN that still exists today and causes deterioriation? Whatever that may be?

I am a very careful observer in my research and when I was doing this Detox program I was observing my own body -- surely an object of considerable interest to me. What I observed in the early period of the Detox was that I would often awaken in the mornings with something I learned to call "sleepers" under my eyelids.

That is, I would open my eyes in the morning and feel/notice that there was some small particle in the corner of the eye, or under the eye lid. I've discovered a whole new field of personal knowledge and discovery -- on this theme. On the main page about eyesight there is the same text as above in this paragraph with the link to THIS page for the further development of that theme. Here and there, on this and other pages I refer to basic scientific data about the eyeball -- much of which is HERE.

I remember calling these things "sleepers" when I was a kid -- because they were found "in" your eyeball when you woke up from sleep. I recall my mother "teaching" me as a very young child that there was someone called the "sandman" who came to children when they went to bed. He would put "sand" into their eyes to make them sleep. The proof of this was that, in the morning, you found that "sand" in your eyes.

My mother taught me that you could never "see" the sandman -- he was invisible -- but he was the one who put you to sleep. If you were bad? the sandman might not come and you would not sleep -- or whatever other type of control mechanism she might have used.

Gradually, of course, I just decided that there was noone such as the "sandman" but I never did THEN wonder where did that "sand" come from.

Like most people I had experienced having them from time to time. I never recalled having LOTS of them in a short time. If I had to count them I might go for weeks or months and never have one. Then I might have two or three over a two-day period. I never paid enough attention to them to make a record of my observations.

During the Detox that is exactly what happened -- I went through several days when I had an unusually large number of these "particles" like grains of sand, but tiny, that would "appear" on my eyeball, or more correctly at the corner of the eye or under the lid.

It was relatively easy to rub them, or wipe them with a finger, or tissue -- and move them out of the eyeball to the skin just below the eye -- from there you could "pick" them with a couple fingers, or wipe them completely away with a tissue.

I never thought these things were dangerous in any way, but I never tried to find out more about them, either. During the Detox I found many of them even on one day -- I found that some of them seemed rather large -- still a grain of sand in size, but ocassionally a "large grain" of sand. They didn't hurt or irritate -- I just wiped them away. But, I remarked about them to my wife, in the Detox with me, and she could then see them -- those small particles that look like sand on the skin near the eye, or even in the eyeball.

So, after I finished the Detox I went looking -- doing my usual research. I knew that the stored toxins were mostly in the fatty tissue of the body, but that they could be in other places.

I wondered if toxins stored in parts of the eyeball might be constantly leaking and causing a reduction in the function of the eye? Could the "leak" in the form of an "exuding" of "stuff" that formed itself into these small particles? Could this increase in "sleepers" be simply the elimination of these toxins, turned into a tiny solid form, from the area of the eyeball?

If these things were true then I could understand how the Detox CAUSES the exuding of some toxins in a form different from sweat -- rather in the form of some small particle that finds a way to exit the body -- sleepers? As is often the case in my research much of the beginning time was spent finding a "better word" than "sleeper." After all that may have just been the vernacular of a small town boy in rural Ohio in the 1930s! I did finally find some more accepted scientific terminology.

(I am amazed at how much of my research revolves around find a word that is commonly used in scientific work -- a word that will then help me find LOTS more scientific references to the item!)
