Shortly before my real EHS problems, an eye doctor saw the beginnings of
cataracts in my eyes... I was about 42 years old.
Then I got EHS, started taking vitamins, but drastically reducing
exposure.  4 years later, no sign of cataracts.  I don't think it's believed
they are reversible but in my case they seem to be.

I think if you do a lot of driving, shielding the car windows is important.

Hi,
I have a friend who has been using the herb  Bilberry with success. She gets it from a co here called: Good Herbs.  (www.Goodherbs.com ) ** Taken from the book: A Practical Guide to Herbs and Natural Supplements" by Marion D. Jones and G. Lee Pemberton.
 
Bilberry application: strengthens the eyes, improves and restores eyesight/ good for cataracts, macular degeneration, cloudy vision/ free radical scavenger antioxidant/ source of Vit C/ contains bioflavonoids which strenghten capillaries and veins/
While I don't have any personal experience with Bilberry, I have used the above co's herbal products and they are of high quality. She takes the liq herbal drops in water and drinks, and has been using Bilberry for the past 6 months and tells me her eye problems are much improved.

Subject: [eSens] RF & Cataracts


 



Hi folks,

It was mentioned that one of the symptoms of microwave exposure can be eye pain or pressure. I myself experienced severe eye pain and pressure living near a cell tower.  It felt like my eyes were going to pop.  I have moved away from the direct beam, but am still getting expousre to RF, although I do not feel pain in my eyes now.  But, I notice my vision getting more blurry and my eyes feel more sticky, even though I use drops often.

From what I have been reading (while I can still read) is that RF causes eye damage, which in turn causes cataracts.  The cataracts msy not show up for many years, but will eventually show up, from the damage sustained.   Therefore, I am looking into ways to try and heal the damage caused by the RF on my eyes over a 10 year period.  

I am wondering if anyone has tried antioxidant or melatonin drops in the eyes or if that is even possible?  Does anyone know of ways to heal the eyes from sustained RF damage?  It appears that the RF depleat the antioxidants from the lens causing free radical damage.  But since the lens has poor circulation, how do you get antioxidants to nourish the lens and heal it, other than drops?

http://www.online-eye-info.com/1-exposure-to-microwave-radiation-and-cataract.html

Cataract means opacification of the natural human lens. It has been reported that chronic exposure to low power microwave radiation can affect the transparency of natural lens because these radiations can affect the biological and biochemical functions of lens's epithelial cells which are responsible for keeping the lens clear.  Lenses with damaged epithelial cells can form opacification which leads to formation of radiation cataract

Here is an exerpt from an article that explains part of what is happening:

One well-understood effect of microwave radiation is dielectric heating, in which any dielectric material (such as living tissue) is heated by rotations of polar molecules induced by the electromagnetic field. In the case of a person using a cell phone, most of the heating effect will occur at the surface of the head, causing its temperature to increase by a fraction of a degree. In this case, the level of temperature increase is an order of magnitude less than that obtained during the exposure of the head to direct sunlight. The brain's blood circulation is capable of disposing of excess heat by increasing local blood flow. However, the cornea of the eye does not have this temperature regulation mechanism and exposure of 2–3 hours duration has been reported to produce cataracts in rabbits' eyes at SAR values from 100-140W/kg, which produced lenticular temperatures of 41°C.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_radiation_and_health

Read the following article for scientific proof that microwaves cause cataracts, (as well as chromosome damage, leakage of albumin into blood brain barrier, suicidal tendencies, etc.):

"Cataract as a side effect of unprotected exposure to microwave
hyperthermia treatment of breast cancer."
By Dr Neil Cherry O.N.Z.M1
Associate Professor of Environmental Health
Lincoln University, New Zealand

<snip>
Many years ago it was stated that “In humans, cases of microwave-induced cataract are well documented”, Birenbaum et al. (1969). They go on to state: “Early stages of this lens
opacification process are termed incipient cataract, a condition which may lie dormant for long periods of time without materially reducing visual capability. Eventually, the opacification spread through the lens substance and becomes denser. This results in the loss of useful vision at which time the condition is recognized clinically as cataract.  Ultimately, microwave-induced cataracts result in blindness.”

Hence as early as the 1960’s it was well-established that microwaves induced optical damage of eyes leading to cataracts.

I read the eye uses the most vit C of the body. Billberry is very good. They can blur from too much salt too. Watch your intake.

What about a little organic coconut oil in the eyes. Antimicrobial & anti fungal properties.

Jim,


NAC is the precursor to Glutathione which you know is the body's  #1 detoxifier.

NAC is n-acetyl-cysteine, which helps makes glutathione, not the cataract carnosine product.  :)

Thank you everyone who responded with suggestions about cataracts.

The more I read, the more alarming it is to me that day to day microwave exposure from cell towers and cell phones, can damage the lens of the eye.  What next?  If you feel eye pain, your body is trying to tell you something.  If you do not feel pain, that does not mean you are out of danger either.

I am glad to hear that Bill Bruno reversed his cataracts.  That is amazing, since the general concensus is that the lens of the eye is the only part of the body that is not able to regenerate.

Marc suggested phosphorous eye drops to eliminate any undesirable calcium deposits.  I am still looking into that.

==========================================
IPLEX:
==========================================

Marc also recommended a supplement for the eyes from Standard Process called "iPlex". 

I looked at the ingredients of iPlex supplement and although it contains vitamins, it also contains gluten and yeast which I cannot have.  In addition, it contains veal bone, bovine liver, porcine stomach, bovine adrenal, bovine kidney, bovine , adrenal Cytosol™ extract, porcine brain, bovine bone. veal bone.

According to an article I read on the Organic Consumers Association website, a lawsuit was filed in San Francisco Superior Court against Standard Process makers of Iplex for the safety of the product , because it contains cow parts: eyes, kidneys, livers, bones and brains, where BSE or Mad Cow Disease, is most highly concentrated.

I do not know the outcome of the lawsuit, but I know that animal parts are not very well regulated in this country and I hesitate to use this product for that reason.

NALC:
==========================================

Yes, NALC or N-acetylcarnosine Eye-Drops appear to be the most beneficial option available. 

http://www.worldhealth.net/news/senile_cataract_and_n-acetylcarnosine_ey/

<snip>
"NALC eye-drops appear to act as a universal anti-oxidant,. NALC eye-drops reduce and protect the crystalline lens from oxidative stress-induced, cross-linking damage.

BUT, it is buyer beware for type and quality of NALC eye drops.

==========================================
BUYER BEWARE FOR NALC:
==========================================

http://www.claritycarnosineeyedrops.com/index.php

<snip>
Dr. Mark Babizhayev also makes it quite clear that “ordinary” NALC will not be of much use in the treatment of senile-cataract. This is because there are many synthesized “carnosines” and their biological and medicinal activity strongly varies and depends on the mode of their obtention.

For example, if carnosine is extracted from meat muscle substances, the biological and anti-oxidant activity is very low. This is presumably due to the contamination of the “pure” carnosine substance by heavy metal salts and proteins and other related impurities. It is very difficult to purify carnosine chromatographically, as the compound chelates divalent metal ions very heavily and the biological and anti-oxidant activities can not be regenerated during the purification procedures.

In conclusion, there were many forms of carnosine which were abandoned in the Russian studies because of their lack of anti-cataract and anti-oxidant ability in the human eye."

The question is, which brands on the market are effective and what is the source of their NALC?  Apparently the largest exporter of carnosine is China, so it is logical to assume that most of the raw material used by eye drop manufacturers of NALC comes from China.

All of the following NALC eye drop brands:  Oxydrops, Bright Eyes, Bright Eyes II, Clarity Vision for Life, Visitein, and Can-C eye drops were cited by the FDA for impurities.  Some of these brands also contain alcohol and other additives I would rather not  have in my eyes.

http://seniorjournal.com/NEWS/Alerts/5-11-30-EyeDropsStopped.htm

Vision Clarity Eye Drops (not Clarity Vision for Life) is a topical, lubricating, 1% N-acetyl-L-carnosine eye drop, guaranteed to be properly PH balanced, documented pharmaceutical grade and the source of the carnosine is from a plant in Italy.

So far, from what I have read, this brand appears to be the most reputable and the one that I may order. But, I really have no way of knowing which brand is best and who to believe..

NUTRITION FOR EYES

Thanks Kathy, good suggestions.  You are right about the Vitamin C and Bilberry.  As far as actually putting coconut oil in my eyes, I have never heard of putting oil in the eyes and would rather hear about someone else's experience doing it before I try it..

Beside NALC eye drops, apparently there is a lot that can be done nutritionally to prevent and heal cataracts. 

http://www.healingtheeye.com/cataracts.html

<snip>
Loss of Glutathione occurs in all forms of cataracts. Since 1912, researches have shown that reduced levels of Glutathione precedes the development of cataracts. With increasing age the levels of Glutathione content of the human lens decreases by 4 to 14 times. Glutathione supplements are available but it is questioned weather this large molecule can pass through the digestive tract. N-acetyl-cysteine, a stable amino acid, has been shown to raise the levels of Glutathione. Cysteine is found in protein rich eggs. Completely avoiding eggs may rob the body of this amino acid which may have anti cataract properties.

The lens of the human eye is bathed in a vitamin C rich aqueous solution which is 30 times more concentrated than the human blood. It appears that this vitamin C acts as an ultraviolet filter preventing the harmful effects of ultraviolet light. With age the levels of vitamin C begin to decrease and this may contribute to the formation of the senile cataract. There are several studies which have shown that high dosages of vitamin C (1000 mg/ day) will reverse the development of some cataracts. Riboflavin helps to make a substance called flavine adenine dinuceotide which is necessary for the production of Glutathione. High levels of Glutathione have been shown to keep the human lens clear and prevent the development of cataracts. In one study, 81 percent of patients with cataracts were deficient in riboflavin.

Daily vitamin and mineral recommendations for the treatment of cataracts:

Vitamin A 5,000 I. U.
N-acetyl-cystene 250 mg.
Vitamin C 1000 mg.
Vitamin E (dl-alpha Tocopheryl) 800 I.U.
Beta Carotene 25,000 I.U.
Chromium 200 mcg.
 Zinc (Picolinate) 15 mg.
Rutin 250 mg.
Quercetin Bioflavonoid 300 mg.
Vitamin B-2 (Riboflavin HCL) 50 mg.

http://www.life-enhancement.com/article_template.asp?ID=855

<snip>
some of the B vitamins; various bioflavonoids (especially quercetin and hesperidin) and carotenoids (especially lutein and zeaxanthin); the amino acids taurine, N-acetylcysteine, and acetyl L-carnitine; the hormone melatonin; the alkaloid vinpocetine; the herbs bilberry, ginkgo, and garlic; the minerals zinc and selenium; and, last but certainly not least, the saturated fatty acid lipoic acid (“the antioxidant’s antioxidant”), which plays a central role in maintaining the body’s antioxidant network.

==========================================
Herbal Treatment
==========================================

I came across something used in India for cataracts:

http://www.healingtheeye.com/cataracts.html

<snip>
"The government of India's Central Council for Research in Homeopathy, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare have stated that tincture of Cineraria Maritima Succus (Dusty Miller) is the drug of choice which prevents the development of cataract. The recommended therapy is 1 to 2 drops in the eye, 3 to 6 times a day."


I still have a lot to learn about cataracts, but I am off to a good start.

That lawsuit must have failed, since that was 10 years ago and I've purchased
a bottle of iPlex just this year... :-)

But yes, some people refuse to use Standard Process because of a fear of
Mad Cow's disease.  Although Mad Cow hasn't gotten a lot of press lately,
has it?

Marc

In regards to finding the right brand of N-ACETYL-L-CARNOSINE eye drops and with your concerns about quality, you might consider seeing if a compounding pharmacy will make this for you.  Three places I would query, if interested, on this are:

Abrams Royal Pharmacy in Dallas.  214-349-8000

ITC Compounding Pharmacy in Castle Rock, CO  888-349-5453

Apothecure, Inc. in Dallas.  800-969-6601

Hi Marc and All,

I have used glandulars since the late 70s.  Allopathic doctors reviled them then for the same reason: cross-over viruses.  (Which rarely ever happened.)  I am not saying Mad Cow Disease is not a potential threat, it is.  However, one needs to be careful as to where the supplement company is getting their glands.  The very good glandular supplement companies would be careful about such things.  This is, after all, how they make their money.  They would not be in business very long if even one person came down with Mad Cow Disease.

My 2 cents,
Diane
