My mom has severe catsrata and GLAUCOMA. How could I aquire the eye drop you are using? If made ~what are the exact measures? I am desperate.

I tried this after reading your post, but the coconut water did nothing. How many times do you have to do it to see results.

I tried everything before cataract surgery on my right eye, except castor oil. None of the various drops worked & they were expensive. They might have helped halt progression, but they didn't reverse the cataract. I even used Sapien Medicine frequencies 2x/d & Solgar eye formula-nada. Now I'll be going for the left eye surgery soon. The reality is the sooner you do the surgery, the less complications. If something has helped then it wasn't a cataract.

Currently the oral antioxidant regimen I'm following consists of:

*Alpha Lipoic Acid

*Lutein with Zanthaxin (however it's spelled! )

*Bilberry Extract

Can you tell me where I could purchase jatai honey please.

Hello Om

I tried castor oil for few days and some home made solution with white onion juice lemon juice etc. but my cataract has become worse. Now also with great difficulty I am able to type this message. I had several visits to dentist few years ago. recently one of my tooth in lower jaw became loose and dentist told me to remove it. I searchd and search on net how to save my teeth. Last year I went to India and saw a simple dentist and asked him if he can fix my teeth. He pressed my teeth hard, push it down (which was projecting very much up) and put some solution to bind it. When I returned to USA and started driving again, I realised that I am not able to see clearly. Is there no option than to go for surgery? Please help me

I'm planning to use it on the right eye of my grandmother, (she had cataract surgery on the LEFT 5 years ago) but right now I want to try this before doing surgery. So what you're saying is I shouldn't use it on the LEFT as it has IOL but fine to try on right?

Has anyone found glutathione helpful for diminishing cataracts? If so, what daily dosage taken and length of time for results, etc.? Thanks.

For your eye inflammation, mix some baking soda in water and use as eye drops. If you have colloidal silver, you could try that also. There are some anti-inflammation herb capsules you can put in water and heat up on stove to extract whatever and use as eye drops. Experiment with whatever you have on hand.

The price helps make the cure economically accessible to way more people. If people still can't afford it even at that price then they can make it themselves.

I don't think I have cataracts yet but I'd rather be proactive. Plus it seems to cure a broad spectrum of eye problems and could produce crystal clear vision over time.

I found an online place where one can buy 10 grams of N-acetyl-l-carnosine powder for around $40. Did not find it on amazon.

1 ml of water equals 1 gram. To make 2 percent solution one for 100 mg in water, there would need to be 2 mg of substance added to the water.

Technically, one would need to adjust density of water to account for colloidal solution so one could eye ball it. I don't think it would need to be exact.

I don't have any financial interest in the product but I do think that the cataract terminator is still a good price for people who don't want to muck with the do it yourself stuff so many will prefer the already made solution. One may also need to buy a machine to make the colloidal silver. Also something to measure small amounts and the bottle. Given the varying economic, time and other situations of people, the more options one has the better.

I thought it was n-Acetyl - l- carnoSine.

But what if your urine is not clean? How do you know if it is good or not? How many times a day?

How can u use urine to treat cataract, mine generated when I was small through misuse. Please explain properly how to use the urine and which urine is used for the treatment. I so much appreciate your effort.

DMSO (used often with horses: penetrates through the skin if used topically and carries into yr body whatever is mixed with it; an anti-inflammatory), vitamin C and Glutathione is called Dr. Rowen drops. There is a pharmacy that compounds it. Expensive. Did not help me.

The latest addition to the DMSO formula is 2000 Vitamin A this was from a local pharmacy

My previous post sounded like a contradiction. When I said the castor oil did no harm I meant there was no burning or unpleasant effect to my eye when I used it. As to whether it made the cataract worse, I am not saying it did. What I conclude is that cataracts get worse no matter what you do.

Any health food store will have the cold pressed castor oil

Yes, it should be cold pressed.

I searched online for hexane free, organic, cold pressed castor oil. I found a brand of 100% pure certified castor oil, it's hexane free, all this is stated on the bottle. I ordered it from online 16 fluid ounces cost approximately $14.00 US dollars, which is not very expensive, considering you only use a few drops at a time, for eyes, at least. The bottle also says it is for external use only, which means you do not consume this, it is for topical use on the skin, or in the eyes. I hope you find what you need.

You could try Magnesium. Preferably a topical application. It is more effective that way.

I've been reading recently about MSM, Methyl Sulfonyl Methane, in a distilled water saline solution, was good for the eyes and its many issues. I believe there are commercial products available; however, I've made my own and hope it will help my vision.

Hello Kelly, I went looking for the answer to your question and found one posted on Earth Clinic.com under castor oil cures. It was posted by another sharer and does state that a couple of drops of castor oil in the eyes nightly will dissolve cataracts. I found a lot of other interesting stuff while looking, including that castor oil also has antibacterial action.

I can't vouch for the removal of the cataracts, but I can vouch for it does no harm to the eye, only good, I have never had a painful eye from getting foreign object in it clear so quickly. I will use it first for eye problems in the future.

I would like to add that the American Academy of Osteopathy maintains a list of trained physicians. http://www.academyofosteopathy.org/

Hi Jayna.

How much Cayenne pepper do you take at a time? I've read two Ebooks on its advantages but I have a Hiatus hernia and it really inflamed it. I wanted to start giving it to my husband who has high Blood pressure but then read several articles saying it was dangerous so I didn't go ahead. I'd like to know more as the meds he is on aren't good and I'm always concerned he will have a stroke. I must say, Meyer I used them, they really cleared my sinuses in double quick time, not something I was expecting but very welcome.

Answer to the Cayenne question above:

I take 2 to 3 capsules of 40000 STU with every meal. They are the brand at the big chain store. I plan on going to my local co-op health food store and getting my cayenne there.

A nun in Malaysia discovered that Peperomia pellucida is a cure for cataract by chance. Her family have been using this plant for all kinds of eye diseases for over a hundred years. She takes this plant for her eyes when she has cataract as this is a great plant for eyes disease.

Two weeks later she felt that her eyes were painful, she immediately rub her eyes and to her surprise the thin films covering her eyes were on her finger and her vision is clear once again.A fter this incident she recommanded this plant to lots of cataract patients and all of them also managed to get rid of their cataract without any operation.This plant is a very useful medicine and may be taken raw or cooked.

This plant is also useful for presbyopia, glaucoma, Astigmatism, all other eye diseases, Cancer and many other diseases. In vietnam this plant is eaten raw as a salad.

Pics of
Peperomia pellucida http://oncampus.richmond.edu/academics/flora-kiuic/p/peperomia_pellucida.html

Appreciate if we can get some information as to where we can procure this plant and how it grows. Thanks

Based on the picture, this weed grows in my backyard. How is it used for cataracts? I have a cataract on my right eye which I want to remove. Do I squeeze the juice into my right eye? Or do I just eat the weed?

I am seeing my eye doctor to have him set up an appointment for the eye surgeon to have my cataracts removed. I would like to try this remedy. How do you go about it? Do you put it right on your eye? Thanks, this is the first time I have ever seen your site and I can't tell you how much time I have spent on it. It is in my favorites to visit again and again.

Cataract: Just eat Peperomia pellucida raw on empty stomach or boil and drink the water.

WARNING!

WARNING regarding the testimonial for this herb and it supossedly curing cataracts (posted 6/20/2008 from a Tan Koon Peng) which stated: "Two weeks later she felt that her eyes were painful, she immediately rub her eyes and to her surprise the thin films covering her eyes were on her finger and her vision is clear once again. "

CATARACTS ARE NOT A SURFACE CONDITION OF THE EYE - they are a clouding of the "lense" of the eye which sits behind the Iris and Pupil. (the above is a physical impossibility!!! )

As an FYI - I have spent many years researching cataract causes/hopeful cures. I had my 1st cataract surgery when I was 35 yrs old. As with any disease I believe there is a necessity to understand the "cause" which is often (and still is in my case) a mystery. Even with all the doctors I visited (and got educated from) the most valuable information I gathered was from NORD (the National Organization for Rare Disorders). I believe they list/describe about 19 different Cataracts. Though cataracts are far from "rare" the knowledge and descriptions listed there could educate more than a few of the doctors I have seen over the years and definitely enlightened me on my quest for a cause and a cure. YES, you do have to pay for any reports you order (this site is aimed at assisting Docs/medical community as well) but in my case it was well worth it and didn't cost that much!

Thank you, mmsg. May I ask you how long you have been applying castor oil on your eyelids for? And how long it took for you to notice any difference? Do you do anything else in addition to castor oil? What grade was/is your cataracts? Do you see hallows around headlights and street lights after dark?

Just wondering what the microcurrent therapy machine costs and where to buy.

thank you muriel

Coconut Oil for Cataracts?

• 2 tablespoons at breakfast - Diarrhea all day
• frying with it for 4 days - bit of dizziness
• hoped it might help with cataracts - any chance?
• female age 84

Thank you for your response, Rob. The vitamin A, B-Complex, C & E should they be by supplements or food sources? I am not able to tolerate supplements.

Also, have you read the book? How many times to use the herbal eye formula as an eye wash? I read some reviews on amazon that it is dangerous and someone stated that they got the cataracts while using these drops.

I only have one good eye, so am trying my best to avoid having cataract surgery (cataracts are in both eyes for me).

Hi Rob,

You mentioned the eye formula worked for you better. Did it dissolve your cataracts? How long did you take the see the results? How many drops and how often in a day did you use the eye wash?

I want to make sure it will heal, because when I used castor oil and a NAC drops, my cataracts got worse.

Have you tried Wisdom of the Ages eye drops? It contains ACV as an inactive ingredient.

Thanks.

What do you use to dilute the solution? I ordered this from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZNV5N8U/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=A2PX2L0QCHUUXO&psc=1

Would this be Ok to dilute to 70%?

Thank You.

Do you have a link to the DMSO you purchased please?

I recently had eye surgery in my right eye. It has been more than three months. Sometimes I feel that there is some dirt in the eye but does not come out. Now days I am also having pain in my eye. I got operation done in my country India. I live in USA. Please let me know if anybody knows any remedy for this kind of problem after the surgery. My left eye also has cataract and the vision in that eye is totally blurry. Please help.

Nobody is talking about cataracts? I would love to hear from anyone that has had good results from natural methods. My sister is facing cataract surgery. She is undecided on having it, and open to natural methods. Please let me know if there is anyone here on EC that knows about successful alternatives. I see the remedy lists, but I don't see anyone stepping up with actual good results;) Thank you much, Denise

Denise, Did Dr. Sams MSM eye drops work for eliminating cataracts? Thank you. Joan

Hi David, how many times in a day, and how many days for you to see result? Thanks.

Hi Lilli, would love to hear an update from you about your cataracts.

Also, if the remedies have helped you to dissolve the cataracts or to stop their progression, can you please let me know the brand names of products that worked for you

Hi, did you make your own eye drops using all those ingredients you have mention? Please help and explain

Hi I just ordered the life extension eyedrops. How long did it take to see the cataracts improve? I am sure the blue light from all the devices has accelerated this. thanks in advance Lanette

Hi there! Just curious how your eyes are doing long term? I've been experiencing cloudy vision, blurry vision that comes and goes, and glittery vision sometimes.

It's really hard when people put up a post like this but don't give you the real details about how long it took for the coconut water to heal the eyes and especially I would like to know the name of the book that you bought that claimed this. Please fill us in! Also, did your dad just have the start of cataracts or did he have them a long time?

So how does one go about purchasing this honey please?

How were the results?

Thank you for sharing this, Marilda. I am currently researching on the cataracts since both my parents were diagnosed with cataracts. This is good start for me and my parents. I wish you a best of luck :)

Would it be ok to dilute the DMSO with saline that is used for contact lenses?

Bev, Do you mean that the formula damaged your lens implant, thus clouding it more?

Thanks so much, Bev!

I had been reluctant to treat my unoperated eye, being leery of the consequences to the lens implant in the other! 🙏

Thank you Sharon. I will try and let you know about my cataract when it dissolves. God Bless all those who have contributed to develop this site and bless all those who write their experiences.

How is this recipe made? percentage compared to what? No dilution? Can't be.

I made my own drops using distilled water as the base. Using these and store bought NAC drops plus supplements. Hopefully this will help.

I'm not understanding the recipe...Help? thanks...I have dry eyes

You might google “compounding pharmacies in US”….some good info there.

Due to the expense of Can-C, I plan on making my own eye drops with Acetyl-L-Carnosine powder. I will use 100 mg of ALC powder in 5 ml of distilled water to make 2% solution. Is there anything else I need to know?

But I can't find it to purchase anywhere?

I tried my best to find that product on out of the box remedies.com which was suggested and I could never find them. The search bar would not find the product for me. I don't know where else to order this could you please tell me? Maybe the product is no longer available on that site.

I was very hopeful that this product from Out Of The Box was available but found very quickly that it is not! They wrote me back and said they don't have that product. I was pretty upset about that.

N-acetyl-l-carnosine can be purchased on amazon for hardly anything. Can you just mix the nac with water to make your own home made solution?

Prioris: The company that sells the 1 gram of nac for $40 is reputable. The cost is 6 times less than the eye drops. People could put some in a tsp. of water and let that dissolve through the gums to dissolve glycation and ages in the organs and tissues of the body bypassing the digestive system. The digestion may denature the nac. I am not sure but to be sure they can let the nac dissolve through the gums.

Hi,

Where can I find an online company to purchase a small amount of NAC to make ny own eyedrops for cataracts? Thanks, Dev

I just saw this on Amazon

http://www.amazon.com/BulkSupplements-Acetyl-L-Carnitine-ALCAR-Powder/dp/B00E7H96CK

NAC is quite acidic so you'll need to add something like Potassium Bicarbonate to neutralise the acid.

tried to order on out of the box dot com but not able to understand the currency and how to pay.

Recall the name M-urine? Also, lutein, found in yellow and orange fruits, and dark green, leafy vegetables is very eye protective and healing toward cataracts. --WayOut

What is mid-stream urine and how many drops of urine do you need in your eyes and for how long in order to cure cataracts without going for surgery

How many drops daily?

Does this really work, I don't see anyone else who has tried it, but I do see 55 loves?

Was wondering if urine could help cure my eye floaters. How many drops per day and how often should I do the drops? Also about how long will it take to work? Days? Weeks? Months? Thanks so much

I just read the above statement and would like to thank the person who wrote the article. I too take flaxseed oil & cottage cheese for helping me with my breast problems, but will now try taking it with castor oil...is there any special type of castor oil I should take??

I read a post about pharmaceutical grade castor oil, NAC, and the Budwig Protocol to reverse the effects of cataracts. Where can I get more information on these modalities?

I have cataracts and I am at the begining stages. I do not want surgery and have been researching natural cures. I have to admit the thought of putting castor oil in my eyes is more than a scary thought. I think if I just put plain ole motor oil in my eye it would work as well. ( Of course I would never do that ). Anyway I need more info before I put something that drastic in my eye little lone my body. Any information on this subject would be great. Yes I live in the show me state. Ha

I have heard that a cup of Rue Tea once a day has had positive effects on Cataracts. Has anyone used or heard if this is true?

In the phillipine this plant have several names: Ulasimang Bato | Pansit-Pansitan (Peperomia pellucida) -

It is effective in fighting cataracts, arthritis and gout. The leaves can be eaten fresh (about a cupful) as salad or like tea. For the decoction, boil a cup of clean chopped leaves in 2 cups of water. Boil for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain, let cool and drink a cup after meals (3 times day).

Hi there, I am going to try the castor oil too, but be aware it has to be hexane free and you add DMSO with it. I was told this heals cataracts.

Peperomia Pellucida is called Toyakandha and Varshabhoo in SANSKRIT, Mashitandu Chedi in MALYALAM. It grows in wasteland, along roadside throughout India and western ghat OF Maharastra during rainy season. Though used in Ayurvedic medicine I could not find any formulation yet. Try Ayurvedic medical stores in the south.

Hi, This is Richard Young again. Thank you for your "caution". Unfortunately, it was not the answer I was looking for. I repeat my question about peperomia use. How do you use it for cataracts? Do you squeeze it on to your eyes or what?

I have 2 questions for Dr J from Bombay.

1) What is the cause of cogenital cataract.
2) My daughter was born with. Docs removed the lens to remove the cataract. Is there any possible way to improve her vision as docs say that they can fix lens but she still needs to wear glasses to fix far off vision. Please help.

To Guest Mother from Toronto, according to leading Sydney eye surgeon Richard Rawson, lens implants of different focus can be used, one side for distance and the other eye for near vision which generally avoids the need for glasses. Apparently the brain selects the correct focus at any distance automatically. He also discourages the use of variable focus implant lenses as they do not work and cause glaring.

Thank you so much for the reply. In my daughter's case, cataract was there only in one eye. Her right eye is completely normal with good eye sight. So the problem of near and far vision is only for left eye. Please advise if the strategy will work in this case too.

Seeds are available from this site: www.tropilab.com

I am writing to ask Prairieboy if basic planting, etc is best for these seeds. Do they need lots of water or little? Thank you so much for giving us this means to secure the plants.
