Omega 3 fatty acids. I have had this for 35 years. I've taken a high dose daily of Omega 3's and last year, my doctor was amazed because my eyes had improved dramatically. I can wear glasses now and correct my vision. I am sticking with this for sure!!

Crosslinking is actually a pretty natural procedure, it's basically just a dose of riboflavin (vitamin B2) in the eye and then your eye is blasted with UV radiation (like from the sun) which strengthens the cornea. If you want to do it naturally look up "corneal crosslinking with the sun" and read the articles. Basically you just orally take a high dose of vitamin B2 (i am taking 1500mg) and go walk in the sun for 15 mins or more every day. It has the same effect as corneal crosslinking but will take more time to get the same results.

Hello,

There are holistic eye doctors using omega 3 as part of their protocol to stabilize or improve Keratoconus.

Check out Dr Edward Kondrot's eye protocols, he addresses this condition and how to treat it holistically, www.healingtheeye.com. Search the website for the interview and articles about this condition. He also offers free consults. He is a very well known eye surgeon and holistic practitioner with a long list of successful treatments!

His treatment goal is to prevent progression (to avoid surgery) by strengthening the collagen in the cornea and reducing inflammation which both contribute to the progression.

Part of his successful treatment protocol involves:

1. VITAMIN C

Daily high doses of Vitamin C, 5-10 grams (Use only the natural form, L-ascorbic acid - not forms from corn or other GMOs. There is research indicating that keratoconus, cataracts and some other "diseases" may be a form of "focal" scurvy of all things. Vitamin C is critical for maintaining collagen which is critical for this condition.

2. EYE DROPS

A. Ozone Eye Drops - reduces inflammation, removes toxic byproducts from the eye, increases cellular oxygen, improves cellular activity, etc... Also, it is antibacterial, antiviral, antimicrobial and is a great lubricant. Must make fresh batches of it. Very effective in treating this condition especially when considering the cornea does not have any blood flow.

Go too www.eyeozone.com or go to UTube and type in "Kondrot" to see how to make ozonated eye drops.

B. Vitamin C Eye Drops

3. MICROCURRENT THERAPY

Sometimes call FSM - Frequency Specific Microcurrent, www.frequencyspecific.com. It is like a TENS unit used for pain treatment.

Usually used if the disease is progressing though it is also used to radically improve the condition.

Significantly reduces inflammation which is a key issue in this disease. Stimulates cellular activity up to 500%. Activates cellular regeneration, restores some loss vision, reduces pain, etc... It addresses many other symptoms in this disease. It is often used to reduce intraocular pressure in glaucoma, treats macular degeneration, retinitis, etc...

Results can take a quantum leap.

Need training (Dr. Rowen, Dr Carolyn McMakin, Dr Kondrot, and others).

4. HOMEOPATHY

This is Dr Kondrot's favorite treatment, works very well. Acts as a catalyst to undo the progression or even reverse some of the changes. There are numerous remedies that have been used to treat this condition successfully: e.g., eyebright pulsatilla, etc... See a Homeopath that has treated this condition or consult with Dr Kondrot. Good results.

5. DIET & NUTRITION
This includes healthy EFAs in the protocols (e.g., omega 3) which are very anti inflammatory and critical for cellular healing. See his website for the specific diet/nutrition protocol.

6. DETOX
Heavy metal test.

Often, heavy metals play a part in the eye diseases. Calcium EDTA (best) or Sodium EDTA (second best) is often used to reduce the body's burden. Would need to see a specialist.

Best regards and wishing you healing!
