Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Lupus / March 2007Lecithin cures and prevents dry eye syndrome.
http://www.redorbit.com/news/health/850503/your_life_health_news/index.html?sour ce=r_health Your LIFE: HEALTH NEWS By MADELEINE BAILEY Soya eases sore eyes SOYA lecithin, an ingredient found in margarine, has been found to cure and prevent dry eye syndrome. This condition affects up to four million people in the UK and is caused by ageing, contact lenses, central heating, air conditioning and staring at computer screens. Eyes become dry and sore and if not treated their surface layer could end up damaged. Soya lecithin helps stop the eyes' moisture from evaporating. In a clinical trial of 382 people, 89 per cent of sufferers reported an improvement. (c) 2007 Daily Mirror. Who loves ya.

Hey, Tom.... Can you ... by any chance ... do any better than "Madeleine Bailey -- whoever she is -- says ....?" Like ... IF it was "found to cure and prevent" (which it wasn't), can we see some evidence of that? If not ... then please allow me to introduce you to Otis Brown.... Rusty <teamtanner@hotmail.com> brought tears to our eyes with: > Soya eases sore eyes Gee, Rusty, why are you wasting your time on this when you should be investigating the death of Captain America? This great American hero has DIED, Rusty! You know why you should dig into this, Rusty? It's because he was killed by IRON MAN! That's right, his soi-disant (not soy-lecithin) ally secretly poisoned our national hero with his IRON EMANATIONS! You knew it all along, didn't you? Tony Stark is really a covert Commie-symp! He's the traitor who provided the IRON that went into the Hammer and Sickle! He's using his guise of a stalwart capitalist to spread IRON! How could you miss that when you've got all his comic books memorized? You can't ignore this, Rusty! Fox News itself has said that comic books are somewhat realistic--just like you! Come on, Rusty, Fox has told you what to think, so get on the stick!

Soya lecithin is a sludge left over from making tofu. It is used as a thickener and texturizer for manufactured fake foods. I know one person who uses only margarine (and not butter) and she suffers from the exact problem that you suggest is supposed to be cleared by margarine.

Heh .. heh .. http://www.irishpharmacist.ie/ New soya-based dry eye treatment launched A spray treatment for dry eye conditions that uses soya lecithin to mimic the eye’sown lipid layer has been launched in Ireland. Clarymist, which is sprayed on toclosed rather than open eyes, was developed to treat dry eye syndrome, which a 2000 study1 suggested affects 10% of the population. Soya lecithin acts as an analogue to the eye’s lipid layer, which controls the rate of evaporation of tear fluid.The manufacturers say that most dry eye cases are caused by a deficient or disrupted lipid layer, which leads to abnormally fast evaporation of tears and subsequent irritation. Clarymist stabilises this lipid layer,thus sealing in the tears and alleviating the burning, scratching and grittiness associated with dry eye syndrome.By spraying Clarymist on to the closed eyelid, an even distribution of natural oils across the outer surface of the tear film is ensured through blinking action.One of the main reasons the lipid layer is disrupted is because of insufficient blinking, which typically occurs during long hours spent in front of a computeror television.Other contributing factors to dry eyes are dehydration due to central heating and air-conditioning,various prescription drugs and ailments,such as rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes. Contact lens wearers are also prone to dry eye conditions,which may worsen with ageing.Optometrist and senior lecturer in optometry at Aston University, UK, Dr Frank Eperjesi, said: “Clarymist is the first dry eye treatment of its kind and will come as a welcome relief to many sufferers.The extensive clinical research behind it alsoshows its values as a treatment for the causes rather than the symptoms of dry eyes. It is asignificant breakthrough in eye health. ”Clarymist’s RRP is €19.95 for 10ml. Reference1. Albietz J.

Cornea, 2003 Mar;22(2):97-101. Barabino S, Rolando M, Camicione P, Ravera G, Zanardi S, Giuffrida S, Calabria G. Department of Neurosciences, University of Genoa, via Siccardi 14, 18030 Sanremo, Genoa, Italy. Abstract: Purpose. To evaluate the efficacy and anti-inflammatory activity of systemic linoleic (LA) and [gamma]-linolenic acid (GLA), which decrease chronic inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis, on the ocular surface of patients with keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Methods: In a randomized clinical trial, 26 patients with aqueous- deficient keratoconjunctivitis sicca were consecutively selected from patients presenting to Department of Neurosciences, Ophthalmology and Genetics, University of Genoa. The diagnosis was based on dry eye symptom survey score, Schirmer-1 test values, positive vital staining with lissamine green, and fluorescein break-up time (FBUT). All patients had ocular surface inflammation based on HLA-DR expression, a major histocompatibility class II antigen, on epithelial bulbar conjunctiva samples. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups of 13 patients each. The study group received tablets containing LA (28.5 mg) and GLA (15 mg) twice daily for 45 days and used tears; the control group received a tear substitute and a placebo tablet for 45 days. Results: Statistically significant changes in symptoms (p < 0.005), lissamine green staining (p < 0.005), and ocular surface inflammation (p < 0.05) occurred in the study group compared with controls. HLA-DR expression varied from 58.5 +/- 14.1% positive conjunctival cells to 41.3 +/- 18.9% in the treated group and from 61.4 +/- 21.9% to 58.0 +/- 13.3% in the controls. No statistically significant difference between groups was found for FBUT and the Schirmer-1 test. Conclusions: Therapy with LA and GLA and tear substitutes reduces ocular surface inflammation and improves dry eye symptoms. Long-term studies are needed to confirm the role of this new therapy for keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Who loves ya.

Long-term > studies are needed to confirm the role of this new therapy for > keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Translation: The use of LA and GLA, which anyway have nothing to do with lecithin, make absolutely no difference in the care of dry eyes. The tear substitutes are what made the difference. As to how effective they are, the test which Rusty cited doesn't offer any useful information. In fact the test didn't real say or prove anything worthwhile. That must be why Rusty likes it.
