Guest guest Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Hi Bob, We've had some luck with good amounts of vitamin C reversing cataracts . up in the 5K - 10K range. And remember, vitamins don't work without minerals. Liquid minerals seem to be the best. Sunny Kierstyn Cataract > Dear Fellowship of Colleagues, > I have recently been diagnosed with a cataract. Those of you that have been in practice for a while (like myself)or that have studied the work back when we thought we could do anything, may remember a galvanic treatment that was supposed to reduce or remove cataracts. I used it in years past but enough time is intervening that I have forgotten. I thought it might be in 's Drugless Therapeutics but can't find it there either (you were going to suggest that weren't you?) I appreciate your help. > Bob Hoyt > > > OregonDCs rules: > 1.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 I'd like to ask the group a question here, hopefully to confirm a theory I have been pondering and hearing rumors on. How many of you know someone who has had laser or lasix surgery? How many of them have developed relatively fast growing cataracts? I'm beginning to see a pattern here, that I really don't like. Since cataracts are a build up of toxicity, I'm wondering about the die they put on the eye when doing the marking for the surgery, where it goes when the eye is being worked on. I wish I could say I have seen good results from reversal of cataracts on the QX, I have however seen good responses for maintaining the current state and for those who tend to repeat not having the problem develop, but not the removal. I hope this man decides to go back to his old habits and get out of his rut before it gets any worse...especially the stress. Yours in Health, Kathy Cataract Dear Group, I have got a 43 year old male patient, who has developed extensive cataract in the posterior chamber of the right eye. The onset has been quite drastic developing over only 6-8 weeks. Over about 5 months his cholesterol has shut up to 6.8, his LDL has gone to 3.9, his HDL to 1.0, and his triglycerides to 4.08. His anion gap and creatinine is slightly low, and his chloride and magnesium slightly elevated. He has superfit all his life with a blood pressure around 95/55 and a resting pulse around 50. The last 3 years he has done no exercise at all, been drinking more alcohol than previously (2-3 glasses of redwine per day), and he has been going through EXTREME stress, and his blood pressure is now 125/70, and his pulse 80. He has complained about episodes of aches/stabs/tightness in the heart-region, but not always in the same area. He has developed a chronic low-grade inflamatory ache in the right acromio-clavicular joint, and over the last few weeks he has also had extensive numbness/pins and needles in both hands, and very slight in both feets - mainly at night. He was on intravenous antibiotic drip for a peritonsilar abscess 5 months ago - which eventually ruptured externally. At that time he also complained about the heart region symptoms, but sonar, ECG and stress-ECG were all negative, as was the blood-picture, except cholesterol being 5.3. There is no personal or familie historie of diabetes, heart-problems or thyroid-problems. The patient is 5 kg over his ideal weight, originates from Northeren Europe, but has been living in Africa for the last 13 years in strong sunlight. He had the Lasek-laser operation for short-sightedeness 11 years ago, and his vision has been perfect untill 1 year ago and is now -0.50 on the left and +0.75 0n the right. Ophthalmic examination with pupil dilation reveals no traces of cataract in the left eye and the blood vessels appear normal. What causes cataract to develop so rapidly in such a relative young individual, and is there an alternative to an operation? Can this type of cataract be reversed? Has anybody got any experience with such early onset? What is the risk of recurrence after an op? Any input will be highly appreciated - the patient is scheduled for surgery on 18th of January.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Kathy, my experience with cataracts has been limited to animals, and I have had no success with the QXCI, although much success with other dimensions of the system. I have concluded that cataracts in dogs (depending on their specie) is often encoded in their DNA as an evolutionary counter balance to protect both preditor and prey (my research and conclusions to long to relate here). Consequently unless one could recode the dna (remember many of the chromosomes in dogs have yet to be mapped) any cataract external correction will be reversed according to the dna. I have heard from several pet owners who have warned of expensive corrective surgery which did not sustain the sight improvement. There does seem to be a higher risk of failure than the surgeons are touting. Just my thoughts here , PS I have heard that White Dove has a new Cataract homeopathic that is getting results.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Consistent with this is my experience with Pleo Muc Eye Drops from Pleomorphic SANUM 866-861-2639 (the Arizona-based US distributor for the German manufacturer). They're homeopathic and quite affordable and work well for most any eye issue I've tried them on - dry eyes, irritated eyes, even dissolving cataracts. I first heard about them on one of Dr. Bill 's lectures on CD where he talked about this remedy that dissolves cataracts which he says are made of sugar. He even talks about tasting a cataract (not everyone's cup of tea...) I'm now trying the eye drops on a client with wet macular degeneration to see how well they work. 310.809.6807 www.subtlenrg.com > > > > I'd like to ask the group a question here, hopefully to confirm a > theory I have been pondering and hearing rumors on.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 HI Mumta: I'm sure everyone else has told you as well but since I've just gotten back online I'll tell you what I was told. The possibility is there but that's just it, a possibility. I was told the same thing, I was also told my astigmatism would get worse but it hasn't and it's been 12 years. The point is we're all different, reacting differently to the steriods as we would anyway. There is cause for concern, of course, but take a deep breath, it's NOT a definate! I hate when doctors of any sort, tell us garbage like that and scare us! Take care and be well. Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The possibility is there but that's just it, a possibility. I was told the same thing, I was also told my astigmatism would get worse but it hasn't and it's been 12 years. The point is we're all different, reacting differently to the steriods as we would anyway. There is cause for concern, of course, but take a deep breath, it's NOT a definate! I hate when doctors of any sort, tell us garbage like that and scare us! Take care and be well. Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 HI Mumta: I'm sure everyone else has told you as well but since I've just gotten back online I'll tell you what I was told.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Went to eye Dr. yesterday and he informed me I had cataracts with macular degeneration. Kinda scares me on the MD. Anything I should know about the surgery and LDN? Should I stop it a day or two b4 surgery? I know I won't be taking pain pills but will it affect the deadening stuff he will use? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hi Bee, Thank you, I am canceling my appointment with the eye surgeon. I deeply appreciate what you are doing to heal me and everyone else. Wishing you a vital life well lived. Arlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
