The Vitamin C does seem to disolve in water (or in EIS) but I was looking for any way to pull anything else out of the powder. The NAC is a different story. Used water to try and pull it out and after a while, even in the frig, the solution starts to smell pretty bad. That is why I was looking for a way to make a concentrate out of it that using an eye safe product that would not spoil. Thought you might have an idea. As to ph in the eye, you can use a meter if needed and you want a balanced, center of the scale ph which can be adjusted with buffered solution or adding more Vitamin C. The DMSO in the solution is not a problem. I have been using the Vit-C drops for a while now. No telling if it is helping either me or the dogs but I haven't seen cataracts get any worse in any of the old dogs. Other option is to go to one of those compounding pharmacy people and have them make them mix. */Garnet /* wrote: Colloidal Silver would be safe and I know that .0.03 ppm is suppose to keep fresh water sterile. That comes up to a few teaspoons per gallon if memory serves. Vit C if you use ascorbic acid will acidify the solution and that makes it unfriendly to bacteria. Like when you can tomatoes, they are so acid all you have to do is a water bath canner unlike say beans that are not so have to be canned in a pressure canner. You can check the final pH of your solution as one indicator of need. Not sure where to cut it off, but also as you increase acidity it is going to burn your eyes. I use 10% DMSO in my eyes, diluted with CS, for styes and for flu prevention when out in crowds in flu season, Goes in my eyes, ears, nose and throat since viruses enter through the mucous membranes, some say ears. Are you going to do the stuff with glutathione that was discussed on the Silver List some time ago? For cataracts? Cars, yeah, I know that drill, I drive a 1989 Suburban, would not trade it for a new one!!
