Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 Jim, Consider this. I had 20-25 vision in my left eye and 20-400 in my right with astigmatism also.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2002 Report Share Posted February 14, 2002 Dear , So far the MSM eye drops(DIY) have made my eyes feel better and I did manage to pass the Hawaii DMV eye exam(with difficulty.). I use one level teaspoon of MSM to four ounces of boiled clean water. It dissolves readily. Strain it through a clean cloth and then there is no chance of any scratchy material. I've been using it with an eye dropper. About 5-10 drops in each eye and pinching the tear ducts to give it a chance to work. According to the person who told me about it it softens cell wall and allows the accumulated stuff to be flushed away. No great improvement yet but I'll keep you posted if you wish! Martha Christy has two good books: one on MSM and the other on Autourine Therapy. I also use urine eye (fresh)drops and they do make my eyes feel better,too. As I mentioned in anothe reply I am using the Bates method exercises as well. I will add Blate's G-Jo eye accupressure when I find the book.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Hi, thanx. I get glutathione IV weekly as a chaser added to a vitamin/mineral IV, plus in a nasal spray via Wellness Pharmacy. I'm on a salt and vitamin C protocol so I take 3-6 grams of Vitamin C daily. I don't supplement with Vitamin E because the supplements don't agree w/ me, but I do eat a healthy varied organic diet including eggs meat fish and all veggies, root veggies, beans etc etc. I think my nutrition is pretty good. If you read Dr Giblin's email to me you see that he was also responding to suggestions I'd made nutritionally and he thought NAC was the best idea, rather than ALA etc. However I do believe supplementing directly with glutathione is useful. So, you would be wrong in inferring that I don't understand nutrition's importance. I am going to end my participation in this discussion now tho others are free to carry it on. My whole purpose was to indicate that hbo is powerful but therefore should be used wisely and that there can be consequences to long term hbo, and it should not be used every day year in year out by any means. In addition deeper pressures are unwise longterm imo. And finally, keep your eyes closed no matter what pressure, it can only help. Use the time to meditate. I noticed Ken referred to double blind studies as ridiculous...I sure disagree with that. Many good advances in science are due to the gold standard. Good luck to all re: hyperbaric, end of this particular discussion for me. --- > > > That may be true in your case but not in most cases. > > > > This is simply due to lack of followup in the industry, > particularly > > because it is afraid if any negative information came out, it > would > > be further marginalized. > > > > An email from Deckoff-JOnes to me last weekreported that > one > > lyme patient who did many treatments developed early cataracts > during > > that time. > > > > Her tender who does a lot of scuba and is younger, developed an > early > > cataract in one eye. > > > > There is no " proof " they're related but all you need to do is > study > > the science of oxidation of the lens etc. Or talk to > Giblin.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 i don't know if elavil caused your cataracts but i generally avoid all medications unless it is to treat the underlying cause of the disease which is unknown at this point. i have been off all meds for over 1 year now just take 1/2 ambien for sleep most nights down from about 4-5 medications. i also try to avoid all unnecessary supplements and synthetic vitamins focusing more on whole foods and whole foods supplements. i feel like if meds don't actually make me better, then it is probably making me worse in the long term due to the side-effects.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Gracia, Bilberries (which are similar but not the same as blueberries) have been shown in scientific studies to stop the progress of cataracts. They are also believed to reverse cataracts, but I don't think there have been studies on that. They are extremely difficult to cultivate, but grow wild in lots of Euopean countries and extracts are available in the U.S. I buy some dried, but use them only in very small quantities as they are very expensive. Mostly I've been depending on wild organic blueberries (Trader Joes has them) which are smaller and much darker (a purple-black with more antioxidants) than commercial blueberries. I was diagnosed with beginning cataracts last year and will eventually be going for another test to see what all these berries may or may not have done for me.

They are also believed to reverse cataracts, but I don't think there have been studies on that. They are extremely difficult to cultivate, but grow wild in lots of Euopean countries and extracts are available in the U.S. I buy some dried, but use them only in very small quantities as they are very expensive. Mostly I've been depending on wild organic blueberries (Trader Joes has them) which are smaller and much darker (a purple-black with more antioxidants) than commercial blueberries. I was diagnosed with beginning cataracts last year and will eventually be going for another test to see what all these berries may or may not have done for me.
