Jim,

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

detoxifier.

Therefore, I am looking into ways to try and heal the damage caused by the RF on

my eyes over a 10 year period.

N-acetylcarnosine eye-drops may be worth a try. There has been a bit of Russian

research on this showing this substance causes a reversal of cataracts. Maybe

it would be effective as a preventative, also. If the microwaves are

accelerating the glycosylation process caused by the depletion of antioxidants,

then this may be helpful.

Try searching on " NAC Eye Drops " .

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 Cytosolâ„¢ 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.

<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:

==========================================

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

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

properties.

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.

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.

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 antioxidantâ€), 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 ) 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.
