Cararacts/ Castor Oil

Make sure when you use Castor Oil on Cataracts that you don't waste your time and eyesight on Castor Oil that is inferior. Get 1) Organic 2) Cold-Pressed 3) Hexane-free and 4) Glass Bottled. Never use plastic bottled Oil. You want the best product to get the best results.

DMSO for Cataracts

Terry (Emmett, ID) on 04/30/2023
5 out of 5 stars

I mixed a 15% strength DMSO solution using DMSO 99.995% purity with distilled water. I put three drops in each eye, waited 15 minutes, and repeated once more. It stung for a few seconds but didn't feel any worse than normal eye drops. Within an hour, my vision was noticeably brighter and clearer. On my next Ophthalmologist visit, two weeks later, the Doc couldn't find the cataracts he had previously found and tried to get me to have surgery to remove them. Instead of ruining my eyes with unnecessary surgery for a few thousand dollars, I spent maybe a penny, did it myself., and kept my original lenses.

Cataract Tips: Research Before You Try Something

Warning

Hi,

I have been researching cataracts for the past 2 years and the best solution would appear to be those in drops tested NIMMH or other pdf clinical trials on a wide variety of solutions etc, one must first know what the underlying cause is, what cataracts are in principle and then go about investigating possibilities, NOT just apply solutions ad hoc. This is dangerous and unproven. There needs to be some study somewhere to back up you need to check the safety of use ie, DMSO on the skin is very drying some dilute it 70 %. Even then it is a solvent that is ok in the eyes? I am currently using the well known isotonic solution from India, but reversing cataracts isn't easy, keep sugar and salt intake down use other supplements to boost antioxidants raise zinc levels etc . Rosmarinic acid was used in trial, but please everybody do some online research first. It is VERY easy to make the situation ten times worse and even blind yourself.

Microcurrent Therapy or ACV for Cataracts

Island Girl (Gc, Ci) on 01/01/2023

Has anyone used microcurrent therapy (specially frequency specific microcurrent) to help dissolve the cataracts?

i found Dt. Edward Kondrot while searching for natural remedies for cataracts and he has a program to reverse cataracts and uses microcurrent as one of the remedies, but he is extremely expensive.

I would love to hear from anyone who has used this therapy successfully for cataracts.

Or has anyone used Apple cider vinegar topically to reverse cataracts?

I have read about diluted ACV used as an eyewash but I am too scared to try it. Instead was wondering if we could soak the diluted ACV on a cotton pad and place it over the closed eyelids for a few minutes and get the benefit?

if anyone has tried ACV to dissolve cataracts please respond.

Or what else did you try that helped with reversing cataracts naturally?

    Cayenne for Cataracts and Questions About ACV Eye Rinse

    Island Girl (Gc, Ci) on 10/23/2022
    4 out of 5 stars

    Good day,

    I was reading about cayenne pepper remedy on Earth Clinic. I notice you have mentioned about Dr. John Christopher there.

    I have just started using his Herbal Eyebright Formula for help with my cataracts.

    https://www.amazon.com/Christophers-Herbal-Formula-Extract-Fluid/dp/B000S86VC0/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=bRUGI&content-id=amzn1.sym.8cf3b8ef-6a74-45dc-9f0d-6409eb523603&pf_rd_p=8cf3b8ef-6a74-45dc-9f0d-6409eb523603&pf_rd_r=AG8EXSHR9PC42RFJ3V8R&pd_rd_wg=cIJUq&pd_rd_r=db3c38de-c102-4a2d-ac98-2cb626691485&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mi

    But I am worried about the cayenne in it, not because it stings, but because I have a history of CSR (central serous retinopathy) in my left eye. My left eye is the only good eye I have, and I have had CSR in that eye 4 times, the first time in 1999, then in 2016,2018 and 2020. It heals on its own, but it leaves a scar at the back of the retina.

    As steroids / stimulants (like chocolate, coffee, salmon, etc) in excess cause CSR, I am worried that cayenne pepper is a steroid / stimulant. But I have read great reviews of how people have dissolved their cataracts using a Dr. Christopher’s Herbal Eyebright. I am using only 2 or 3 drops total diluted in distilled water for 2 eye cups. So about 1 or 1.5. Drops per eye cup, and do it twice a day. The strength of cayenne for 10 drops is 40 HU. I am guessing it is not much for me to worry.

    I have used it for about a week and am ok.

    I am seeking your valuable advice and guidance.

    Also, have you heard of a ACV eye wash helping to dissolve cataracts?

    Many thanks,

    san

    Castor Oil for Cataracts Takes Time

    Sankie (South Africa) on 07/07/2022

    I start using castor oil as well. At first, my eyes seemed to get more blurry. But now I have seen an improvement. It was explained to me this way. The oil starts off by dissolving the top part of the cataract. That makes your eyes see things blotchy and it thus looks as if the oil does not work. Then the oil will dissolve the thinning sections normally the outer parts. Your eyes will then begin to look clearer in the distancing sight. The longer you use it the more cataract will dissolve until your sight is back to normal. This can take up to a year. It totally depends on the thickness of the cataract. I have been using it for a few months and only now are my eyes getting better.

    Do not stop, keep at it, it really works.

    Also do not stop at all. If your eyes are corrected, use it once every few days as a cataract might develop again.

    Diluted DMSO for Cataracts and Glaucoma

    Ronald (New Hampshire) on 07/02/2021

    I have used DMSO diluted to 70% and put one drop in each eye. Yes it does burn, but it only lasts for about 20-30 seconds and is gone. You do this twice a day laying down for five to ten minutes. My cataracts are almost gone and my glaucoma has been cured. DMSO will not hurt your eyes! My vision is so much better also.

    Can-C (N-Acetylcarnosine Drops) for Cataracts

    KS (Glenview, IL) on 07/01/2021
    1 out of 5 stars

    NAY

    I had a cataract in my right eye-tried every drop there is. I first used Can-C for a year or more. After spending hundreds of dollars on drops, I still had to have surgery, as I was virtually blind in that eye, by that time. The drops may have delayed the inevitable (?) I had even listened to Sapien Medicine & Rife frequencies twice a day. Now, I have a bad cataract in the left eye. Since I've given up on drops, I'm only listening to the frequencies. So, far that hasn't worked. Overall, I have a good diet & take some supplements, which vary, don't smoke or drink. I couldn't see myself doing the castor oil, so can't speak to that. Good luck everyone, hope to hear about a cure soon.

    DMSO for Cataracts

    DMSO clears cataracts.

    I don't have any experience topically, but internally consumed mixed with spinach clears them.

    The person I know that did this method used a tsp per day of DMSO in a spinach smoothie.

    EDTA for Cataracts

    Frank (Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada) on 05/24/2021

    Cataracts & EDTA.

    I saw a study that indicated that EDTA might help cure cataracts. This is my experience.

    I had an appointment with an eye doctor in November 2019. He indicated I was starting to develop cataracts. I had heard somewhere that EDTA might be a cure. So, I did some investigation on making eye drops using EDTA. I found out that EDTA needed a pH of 8 in order to dissolve. I thought of creating my own pH solution to dissolve the EDTA but decided to check out eye drops to see if any of them had a pH of 8.

    I found that 'Systane Ultra' eye drops had a pH of 8. The 'Systane Ultra' dropper bottle was 10 ml. I opened one 600 mg gel capsule of EDTA and dumped the total contents of the capsule into the 10 ml dropper bottle of 'Systane Ultra' eye drops. The EDTA completely dissolved in it with no problem.

    So, I used these drops every day and sometimes several times a day. My next appointment was supposed to be in November 2020 but because of covid it was rescheduled to April 20,2021.

    The doctor reexamined my eye and found no improvement in the cataract. So, I just wanted to report this to save other people the trouble of doing this experiment again. EDTA for cataracts is also mentioned in the following link:

    For what it's worth.

    Clay for Cataracts

    Bev S. (Fort Lauderdale, Fl) on 07/25/2017
    5 out of 5 stars

    Pascalite is a creamy white-colored form of bentonite clay found only in the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming. Cataract patients have reported that applying the clay paste to their eyelids and making eye drops from water filtered through the clay has helped to dissolve their cataracts.


    People have also reported that using regular gray bentonite clay, made into a paste, applied to your closed eyelids, and left on for about 30 minutes will eventually get rid of cataracts.
    Bentonite has many uses, I keep a small jar of paste (bentonite mixed with water) on my kitchen counter.

    If you burn yourself, apply it immediately. It's a bloody miracle! The pain is instantly gone. It's great for insect bites and a zillion other things.

    Castor Oil for Cataracts

    Dr. Norm Shealy has been using castor oil to treat cataracts in his patients for decades. He does many clinical studies, and he has found an 80% success rate among his patients who followed his castor oil cataract protocol. For me, it was a total failure.

    I bought Can-C drops, and have been using them for a year now with no improvement. I guess I am just in that percentage of people it doesn't work on. Maybe my cataract was just too advanced. You are supposed to see improvement in four to six months.

    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

    I too have cataracts, had lens replacement surgery on left eye and not real happy with the outcome. I can see the periphery of the lens which makes everything look like a piece of "Picasso", artwork. I had pain in my right eye. It was suggested that it was caused by elevated pressure (glaucoma). I found that putting two, (2) drops of caster oil in the eye at bedtime completely eliminated the eye pain and is very slowly showing slight improvement in clarity. I now use the oil in both eyes at bedtime. It does seem to make my nose a bit runny. The oil also stopped itching due to dry eyes. I wish I'd known this sooner. I now search for natural solutions for everything before considering the often toxic and damaging pharma crap. Good wishes for you in all things!
