What To Do When My Cataract-Reversing Protocol Doesn’t Work

Cataracts affect a growing number of people, and many factors can contribute to this. I have found that adding certain specific antioxidants can reduce cataract formation and, in some cases, eliminate it altogether. But they don't work for everyone. So today, I wanted to talk to those who aren't seeing results with my approach and discuss why this might be and how you can move forward. Enjoy the show.

This is a show that offers cutting-edge information on how to improve your vision and overall wellness through holistic methods. I so appreciate you spending part of your day with me. If you have questions, you can send them to [email protected]. Now to the latest EyeClarity episode. Hey, everybody, it's Dr. Sam. And I want to welcome you to another EyeClarity podcast. Great to have you in today. And I'm going to be talking about cataracts. So when we go to the eye doctor, and the doctor looks into our eyes, and he or she says, Oh, you have the start of cataract, and you ask the doctor, is there anything you can do? And basically, he or she will say, well, we just watch it. When it gets ripe. We cut it out. Now, in my practice, and through my social media outlets, you know, I've been at this for over three decades, I definitely have found that adding certain specific antioxidants, at the very least, can reduce cataract formation. And in some cases, the cataract can go away. In fact, in early stage cataracts, my community does very well at either a, keeping the cataract from getting worse, or be reversing it completely. And there are a variety of factors, why we develop cataracts. But what I want to spotlight in this show is those small percentage of people who contact me and say, Dr. Berne, I've been using your protocols for three months, six months, nine months, I'm frustrated because things aren't getting better. And in a few cases, things might even be getting worse. So that's the group I want to address today. But it's going to affect all of us, because cataract development is in such a huge part of the population, especially once we hit age 60. Now what is a cataract, it's basically free radicals oxidative stress that begins to accumulate in the lens of the eye. The lens is made up of mostly protein and water. And this protein can start to break down. Sometimes glucose molecules start to attach to the protein. And this is called the glycation process. So it's a it's a cause of certain types of cataracts like cortical cataracts. This would be the type of cataracts associated with things like high glucose levels in the blood or diabetes. But we run down the list on why we develop cataracts. Smokers, people drink too much alcohol, diabetics, people have had eye surgery to treat glaucoma, retinal detachment, taking steroid drugs, taking statin drugs, getting radiation, or chemotherapy. Now, there are two other factors that I will give a little bit of credence to the first is genetics. Because we need to be careful around just saying, Well, my grandmother had cataracts, my father had cataracts. So I'm gonna get cataracts. Because when we say that we invalidate the the science around what we call epigenetics. And epigenetics means that our genes express in a certain way based on our environment, what we eat, what we think, what our emotional health is, like, what our lifestyle is like. And all of those things influence how the DNA expressed themselve...
