The Eyes Have It
Or do they?
Are your eyes getting the nutritional ingredients they need to fend off macular degeneration? Glaucoma? Cataracts?
Age-related eye conditions such as those just mentioned have long been thought irreparable by most laymen and health practitioners. Of course, there is surgery to remove cataracts, but can we prevent them in the first place?
What can be done to prevent, or, in fact, reverse glaucoma?
And what can we do to slow or prevent macular degeneration?
Let us begin by finding clear definitions of these terms.
Cataracts.
The most common form of cataract is the nuclear cataract. It is a condition characterised by a cloudy haze forming inside the lens. Our eyes are basically made up of a sophisticated combination of lens proteins known as crystallins, and water. Cataracts form when the lens proteins fail to maintain their ordered structure and begin clumping together. The result is the opaque film that is the cataract.
The condition is aptly named, as the source of the word “cataract” is thought to stem directly from two distinct greek words, one meaning a flow of white water, and the other, an obstruction.
As cataracts become more substantial, they block the amount of light that can pass through the lens. They also scatter the light that does manage to get through, resulting in a less focused image as the light no longer merges at a precise point on the retina. Thus, we can have a blurry image, and colours can be less intense. We might also see a halo around bright objects such as street lamps. Cataracts often progress to a point where we cannot see clearly at all. Traditionally, surgery has always been our only hope.
What causes cataracts?
Like many conditions, cataracts can result from a number of causes. These include: heredity, too much exposure to ultraviolet rays, (either over time or briefly and suddenly, but in too great an amount), poor nutrition, smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disease, and the long-term use of corticosteroids.
The culprit common to all of these causes, is the presence of oxidative free radicals. These are thought to result in the breakdown of the lens proteins’ orderly structure and produce the protein clumping.
A report from the Health Sciences Institute (www.HSIBaltimore.com), states that the other major cause of damage to the eye is something called glycation. Glycation is the condition which results from sugars combining with proteins to create something called glycated proteins, which are ultimately responsible for the protein clumping and the formation of the milky white film we know and abhor as the cataract.
Apparently, this new compound, the glycopated proteins, produce fifty times more free radicals than normal proteins.”The fix” as the Health Sciences Institute puts it, is to undo these protein cross-links, which then gets rid of the cloudy film.
Someone in Europe has found a way to do this, without resorting to eye surgery. Presently, this surgery often has to be repeated as the cataracts often regrow, since nothing has been done to alleviate the cause of the actual milky film growth, the source of tons of evil free radicals, the gycopated proteins.
Doctors in Europe have have formulated eye drops that dissolve cataracts safely and painlessly!
Reports coming out of Europe claim to have a one hundred per cent success rate with newly forming cataracts, caught in the initial stages, and an 80 per cent success rate for individuals who have full-blown cataracts and are looking at surgery to restore their sight, if another solution can’t be found.
Please see the more complete report available at the Health Sciences Intstitute’s website www.HSIBaltimore.com. In this report, they will refer you to a company which has patented the eye-drop formula, Tango Advanced Nutrition, or Pure Tango, as it is otherwise known. Tango also has a report that I believe you should download and run by your eye doctor, if you trust them to be open-minded to documented research and results from across the pond.
I am obviously not a doctor of anything, but I am looking into this product for my mother, who is seventy-nine and has the beginnings of cataracts. She cannot believe that the doctors have told her that she has to wait until she has full-blown cataracts before she can do anything about her blurry vision, and then, she is looking at surgery.
I firmly believe that this eye drop formula has had enough success in Europe to warrant its mainstream use in North America, and all other parts of the world.
Half the world is going blind from cataracts, literally, and not everyone can afford eye surgery. And who the hell would want surgery if we can use relatively inexpensive eye drops not only to dissolve existing cataracts, but to prevent their formation in the first place?
Pure Tango claims that their OcuPhase eyedrops can indeed actually prevent the formation of cataracts by using two drops of their formula every day.
I strongly urge you to give it a try.
I gain nothing financially by advocating this product, but I think that we are all bloody fools if we don’t give it a go.
Blind fools.
The website address for OcuPhase information and product ordering information is www.puretango.com. Their phone number is 866-778-2646.
Tell them I sent you.
Maybe they will give me a discount!
That’s enough for this blog entry. Let’s look at what is meant by poor nutrition contributing to cataracts in the next blog.
My eyes need a rest right now.
Everything is blurry.
Uh oh.
