Simple Do-It-Yourself Cataract Cure

When I talk to patients about cataracts, it's almost always

because they already have one (or two) and they're trying to

avoid surgery. I rarely see anyone who wants to talk about

prevention.

If you don't have cataracts, the best thing you can do to

prevent them is to eat a diet high in protein, vitamin A, niacin,

thiamin, and riboflavin. These nutrients are associated with

reduced prevalence of nuclear cataracts (a cataract on the inner

part of the lens). Not all types of cataracts are affected by diet,

but researchers have discovered the nucleus is particularly

sensitive to nutrient deficiencies.

For preventing other types of cataracts and reversing even

the worst cases, there's an easy treatment you can use at home

that works miracles.

Years ago, I came across an idea for the use of DMSO eye

drops for cataracts. DMSO, as you know, is a natural solvent, but it

has significant properties as an antioxidant. I tried it in several

patients and it worked!

People called me in Alaska from thousands of miles away

after hearing me talk about it on a national radio show to let me

know of their success. I decided to improve upon straight DMSO.

Knowing that glutathione concentration in the lens is

essential for cataract prevention, I thought I'd try adding some

to the DMSO. Researchers discovered in the early 1900s that eyes

deficient in glutathione were more susceptible to cataracts and

other eye diseases.

I also knew that the sclera of the eye is dependent on

vitamin C for good health, and cataracts may begin when vitamin C

becomes deficient. So I decided to add vitamin C and glutathione to

the formula. I expected the DMSO to carry the nutrients to the lens

where they could do their work. And it does seem to work better than

the DMSO alone.

Olga Kolbeck, a vivacious 89-year-old woman for Calistoga,

California could not see well in her right eye. A cataract was

forming, and she had some deterioration in her left. Olga lives

alone with three sheep, two llamas, and 18 " fainting " goats!

She is

indeed a busy woman.

Olga began the eye formulation in the spring of 2003. On

November 14, she reported she could now read again with her right

eye, passed the driver's test, and the left eye returned to

perfect

vision.

If you have cataracts, you might want to ask your doctor to

have this formulation as well. Your local compounding pharmacist of

Dollar Drug of Santa (), the pharmacy Olga used,

can provide it. The formulation is:

DMSO – 6.25 percent

Vitamin C – 1.25 percent

Glutathione – 1.25 percent

I'm using it myself just for prevention. It stings

momentarily and quickly passes. Your eyes will love you for it.
