DMSO Eye drops

[Guest guest]

Hi:

I would like to try these eye drops that some have used to successfully treat

cataracts:

DMSO 6.25%

Glutathione 1.25%

Vitamin C 1.25%

Remainder: sterile water (or in my case, colloidal silver)

Problem is, the compounding pharmacy here will not do it without a doctors

prescription, and no doctor will write me a prescription for it. So I have to

make it up myself. However, I don’t have the expertise to be sure of getting

it right. For instance, I have pure glutathione powder, and I can dissolve it

in water, but how do I know how much would be 1.25%? I have liquid DMSO, a 70%

DMSO/30% water blend with a touch of honey, and I have pure sodium ascorbate

powder which also readily dissolves in water. I make my own colloidal silver.

I would like to add measured amounts of the two powders (glutathione and sodium

ascorbate) plus x amount of the DMSO to 4 or 8 ounces (take your pick) of CS to

get the desired ratio of each item. I can then simply stir the mixture and wait

for the powders to dissolve and put it all in a dropper bottle for use as eye

drops.

Since the DMSO is a liquid, I guess I can treat it the same as the CS and say to

add 0.5 ounce (half an ounce) of the DMSO to 8 ounces of CS to get a liquid that

is 6.25% DMSO. Maybe I can ignore the fact that the DMSO is only a 70%

solution, or maybe I can add a little more than half an ounce to adjust for

that. But I have no idea how much of each of the powders to add to achieve the

desired ratios.

Can anyone advise me on this?

In creating recipes, decide if it's weight or volume you are going

with. In this case I'm not sure I'd worry with it. Then divvy it into

10 or 100 parts (by wt or by volume) and weigh or measure it out.

Not sure where your recipe came from but you might want to double check

if it's sodium ascorbate or ascorbic acid you want to use. While saline

at certain concentrations doesn't hurt the eye, I don't know how to

determine how sodium ascorbate works with the eye.

IF I were creating this recipe here's what I'd do

100% EISilver

6.25% DMSO =93.75%EIS

1.25 % Glutathione = 92.5% EIS

1.25 % Ascorbic Acid = 91.25% EIS

That tells me I'd want about 90% EIS and 6% DMSO. But at this point, I

can't go much further with measurements for the AA AND Glutathione.

I would mix the glutathione and the AA into separate portions of the EIS

first. They may not dissolve in the DMSO.

Add the DMSO to the water mixture, not the other way around.

The hard part is getting the appropriate solutions of Glutathione and

AA. If memory serves, find the saturation point of both substances.

I'd guess at that point regarding the quantity needed to make a 1-2%

solution. Just remember the total volume of EIS you'll be using, not

merely the portion you've set aside to disolve the two different

powder/crystals in.

In searching for some answers for you I came across

this....http://forums.biotechniques.com/viewtopic.php?f=4 & t=5380

apparently Glutathione can oxidize sitting in solution. I bet that's

true of AA as well. Perhaps one of the list chemists can look at an

MSDS and help with how much AA or Glutathione it takes to create a

saturated solution; from there you can deduce the 1-2% weight.

Here's one that appears to be already made up/using your formula./

Doesn't use silver water but might be safer than messing up putting acid

in your

eye...http://www.wedgewoodpetrx.com/items/glutathione-dmso-vitamin-c-ophthalmic-\

solution.html

I would taste it because I'm pretty good with taste, and see if I could

approximate a similar/weaker version on my own. Less is better when it's

your eyes.

Half honey/half dmso worked on my dog's cataracts in about 3 weeks. I

tried it in my eyes and it stung like the dickens for about a minute.

Couldn't tell any long term results but I wasn't consistent and was only

going after floaters.

Sorry I couldn't do it for you. Saralou
