I would like to get advise from people that have had success in
reversing their "doctor diagnosed" cataracts.  I would like to know
the following:

1)  Was your cataract in the beginning, intermediate, or advanced
stage?  How bad did your vision get?

2)  Was your cataract diagnosed by an eye doctor?  What type of
cataract did they say it was (nuclear, cortical, subcapsular, ...)?

3)  How much time elapsed after your cataract was discovered by your
doctor before you started taking supplements and/or herbs and/or
drugs?

4)  What did you take that worked (e.g., Eyebright, Billberry, Vitamin
E, ...)?  How much of it did you take?  How many times per day?  For
how many days or months?

5)  Was the cataract reversed or eliminated completely?  If reversed,
by how much?

6)  Did your cataract reoccur or get worse again after you stopped
taking the supplements/herbs/drugs?

7)  What country do you live in?

8)  Could you give me advise as I try to reverse and hopefully
eliminate my cataracts?  If so, how can I contact you?

sorry mark.  it isn't possible to reverse or eliminate cataracts
without surgery.

 Ok, what is it about this formation process in the lens that makes it so
non-reversable.  That is, what makes this a one way physiological process.

It's called protein denaturing.  Same process as taking a pefectly clear
egg whyite and dropping it into a hot frying pan.  The clear gel becomes
an opaque white that you can't change back to the clear gel state no
matter what.  All you can do is toss it out (or eat it, I suppose) and
get another clear gel...

If you want the precise chemistry of this process, consult a good text
on organic chemistry.  Knock yourself out.

OK, you can make a tasty egg salad, but Zetsu can clear it back with
Bates' sunning.  You see, chemistry is not a factor in the Zetsu-Bates
world.  All you need is to use the rest method and your cataract will
magically disappear.  You must admit that Bates is superior.  Zetsu
knows best and he has demonstrated it to himself at age 15.

You know, this thread was going along very nicely. What's the point of
bringing Bates and Zetsu into the conversation? Brainy's first post was
reasonable, helpful. Stacy's cooked egg white analogy is really helpful
when thinking about cataracts. It just makes no sense to me that people
complain about the so-called "trolls" yet it's those very people who
bring them up and into the conversation every chance they get. It's
clear that this posting by Brainy was only to cause trouble (goad Zetsu)
or to show how "brainy" and witty she is.

It's sad when people can only feel good by putting other people down.

Years ago, the government ran this one study on human behavior that cost
millions and millions of dollars .  And at the end of the study they came up
with one irrefutable conclusion.  When things are going along well, there is
this overpowering urge to kick over the apple cart.

I suppose you could look at it that way, but I'm not attempting to put
people down, but rather call attention to inconsistencies. What do you
think about Brainy's post? She decries the presence of Zetsu and others
she labels as trolls, yet she brings Zetsu and his fantasies into a
completely unrelated thread that was getting thoughtful replies and
staying on topic. In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have added that
last line to my post and when I reread it, I regretted doing so because
I see how it can come off the way you seem to have read it. However, I
do often feel that sentiment when I read this NG.

> if you think you are above it all, then you shouldn't post.  see ya.

No, I don't think I'm above it all, and certainly no more so than
someone who complains when "trolls" post, insults them, engages them so
they keep posting, insists that this NG should stay "scientific," and
yet feels it necessary to bring the "troll's" unsubstantiated
unscientific theories into otherwise cogent discussion in order to make
fun of him. So I guess I'll continue to post whenever I feel like it.
See ya!

Chemistry is a microscopically small collection of study by humans and
human made computers to gather shrewd and imprecise knowledge in the
way that the chemicals can reacts with each other, if you look at what
is really all left out of the picture. Just because you study
chemistry does not mean you know everything about chemistry; in fact
in means this: you know hardly any.

I can understand the boiled egg analogy but that is only the
accumalation of a small bit of study in the human era and it is but a
small thing in comparison to the rest of time that the human will
spend in the world and find out more things that they thought before
was impossible.

It seems abundantly clear, to any and all rational participants of

To the extent that presbyopia is due to deterioration of the proteins,
and that the proposed fix regenerates them, we're talking about a
possible cure to presbyopia, which opens up the market even more.

Oh yeah, we were learning about this kind of thing in Chemistry at
school just last week! We were studying enzymes and not cataracts, but
I think the same kind of mechanism can be theorized; as in the active
site theory and the lock and key model. When the temperature is low,
enzymes can't work efficiently because the enzymes and the molecules
do not have energy to move fast and collide into each other, and when
the temperature is too high the shape of the active site inside of the
enzyme is modified so you can't go back to the previous state, and
then it is said to have been 'denatured'.

The enzymes work best at the middle point which is the middle between
the denaturing temperature and a too low temperature, and that is
called the optimum temperature.

pH also effects the way enzymes can function.

Hello,

Regarding cataract formations;

We were actually learning about this kind of thing in chemistry
lessons at school only just last week. We were studying enzymes and
not cataracts, but I think the same kind of mechanism can be
theorized; as in the active site theory and the lock and key model.
When the temperature is low, enzymes can't work efficiently because
the enzymes and the molecules do not have energy to move fast and
collide into each other, and when the temperature is too high the
shape of the active site inside of the enzyme is modified so you can't
go back to the previous state, and then it is said to have been
denatured, which means that the molecules cannot fit inside the active
site of the enzyme so that means it can't react anymore.

The enzymes work best at the middle point which is the middle between
the denaturing temperature and a too low temperature, and that is
called the optimum temperature. pH value also effects the protein.

You say that denatured proteins can't go back to their previous state.

How do your "rest methods" accomplish something that you said is impossible,
reaching through the blood-brain barrier to rebuild those proteins?

-MT
Zetsu - 15 Oct 2007 21:07 GMT
It may be the proteins are not rebuilt but destroyed altogether, and
then a new one get make? Even if the protein is denatured and cannot
return to the original state; why not a new one just made? I don't
understand what you mean by 'blood brain barrier' please could you
explain that.

Well, the first problem is what to do with the old, opaque proteins. White
blood cells can't get in there to clean things up. Even if they could, you'd
have to replace them with new lens fibers, grown from scratch, another thing
that doesn't happen at the age we get cataracts..

> I don't
> understand what you mean by 'blood brain barrier' please could you
> explain that.

It's a barrier, formed by tight cell junctions in the capillaries. It keeps
big molecules like proteins and lipids and some pharmaceuticals from
entering the brain, spinal cord and the aqueous humor.

When the lens is first formed, in the womb, it has a blood supply,
delivering proteins and phospholipids and nucleotides, to allow rapid
growth. Soon after birth, the blood vessels disappear and the metabolism
slows down enormously, because the only route for nutrients and metabolites
is through the aqueous humor.

Do what I did.  Have them removed in a 15 minute procedure under local
anesthetics (drops only, no needles) where the cataractous lenses are
replaced with prolate optics silicone lenses of crystal clear quality,
through a self-sealing (stitchless) incision 3 mm long, to achieve
perfect 20/15 vision the next day and total comfort from then on. Almost
3 years now and still 20/15.

A patient who has obtained cataracts should begin the cure of the
imperfect sight by rest methods of relaxation treatment without
glasses/contacts/surgery.

I don't have cataracts myself but my grandma does. I am planning to
treat her and cure the cataracts, so after my scientific study has
been completed I can answer each of your questions thoroughly.

Nonsense. Rather she will be very pleased that she no longer has to
suffer from cataracts and other defects including high intraocular
pressure and presbyopia, and relieved that she won't have to suffer
the invasive surgery of removing the lens.

Please stop your rubbish, spammer. I'm talking about an actual
scientific study where I will research to find out exactly what I will
need to do to make a real effective study, use the scientific method,
record everything all the time, and even purchase any special

Normally you'd need more than one subject.

But cataracts are so predictable that you'd make medical news by "curing"
just one.

Since you're promising a miracle, it'd be a good idea to enlist an objective
observer to make measurements and photos before and after your treatment.
Otherwise nobody will believe you.

Hmmm, well my grandma's sister also has cataracts. You mean I'd need
another subject to be a control? Please elaborate on this, because
even though I'm only 16, I might as well do all I can to make it as
good a study as possible.

You're right, that's a great idea! I have to make sure people believe
me if the outcome is successful, or else what's the point of going to
all this trouble with a scientific study?

Can I get her opthalmologist (who is also my opthalmologist) to be the
objective observer? Also, would it cost anything?

Thanks.

Usually you want some larger number of subjects, a group of experimental
subjects and another, matched group of controls.

So a "good" study is probably beyond your reach as an individual. Best you
could do is a "case study."

No matter. As I said, you'll make history if you manage to clear up
cataracts in just one individual.

> Can I get her opthalmologist (who is also my opthalmologist) to be the
> objective observer? Also, would it cost anything?

It won't cost anything (extra) if you simply rely on his routine
examinations. But photos aren't part of a routine examination and if you're
going to convince me you "cured" cataracts, you'd need photos.

I don't see what "data" you'd want to take to the ophthalmologist. It would
be best if the ophthalmologist were unaware of your efforts until after his
post-treatment exam. If the cataract actually disappears, he'll come looking
for you.

So be realistic. You're planning to un-boil an egg, turning degraded
proteins from white back to clear. At the very least, you'd need slit-lamp
photos.

I would expect quick temporary results, and a permanent cure after
about 4-6 months. I'm not really sure, though. Just an estimate.

But I'll definitely make sure to get thorough objective before/after
measurements by an independent certified opthalmologist.

LOL! Don't worry, I'll be studying and getting ready this fall, and
I'll probably begin the treatment in the winter after I have built up
more confidence. She has an appointment in 6 months, so I want to have
the data ready by then.

If I could find an effective fool-proof method to objectively CURE
myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, strabismus, amblyopia, presbyopia,
muscae volitantes, scotoma, nyctalopia, cataracts, glaucoma, macular
degeneration, iritis, uveitis, retinitis pigmentosa, retinal
detachement, macular edema, color blindness, opthalmoparesis,
opthalmoplegia, keratomycosis, all kinds of retinopathy, sympathetic

measurements and such (by an objective observer if necessary), would
there be no doubt that I would win the Nobel Prize?

Jason,  I think the task to cure ALL of the above is somewhat too
heavy for a 16 year old.  Start with cataract and presbyopia, when you
succeed the prize is guaranteed.  Also, you have an ideal subject for
that -- your grandma, which makes things attainable.

Did you know that untreated cataracts are #1 cause of blindness
worldwide?  Imagine the impact of your action on millions!  As to
presbyopia, although not a cause of blindness, the impact will be
extremely significant because it effects about 100% of the aging
population, and that's many many millions.

6 months to achieve the desired outcome is reasonable.  I hope nobody
dies till then :-)

But I am not sure that you know exactly how to do these miraculous
cures, yet you are confident.  Self confidence is good!  Can you just
tell what's the source of your confidence?

So a 16 year old untrained young man is going to cure somebody and win
the Nobel prize, using Bates methods?  Bates was a trained
opthalmologist,  Why didn't *he* win it?

Please elaborate on this "scientific study."  

I'd like to know more about its methodology, and what sort of controls
you'll have in place for objective verification of every part of the
process.

Thanks.

ps: you DO know, don't you, that a "scientific study" involves a great
deal more than making stuff up and putting it on the Internet?

I'm still brainstorming the process, but these are some of the things
I'm planning to measure before, during, and after the treatment:

- severity of cataract measured objectively with necessary equipment
like an opthalmoscope, and photographs of both her pupils
- visual acuity measured with the small Snellen test card, placed at x
inches in front of nose, and with the large Snellen test card, placed
on a wall x feet away from where Granny is standing, and also measured
with the retinoscope or refractometer or whatever I need to make an
objective test on her refractive state
- date the treatment began and ended
- exactly what I did to treat her, what I told her to do (heck, it
might even be best to tape record everything I say to her, lol!), how
much time was spent on it, when, etc.

I know I still have a lot of research to do, but I have 6 months until
she sees her opthalmologist again.

Of course. I'm not going to make anything up. I will make as perfect
study as I possibly can and present my data to sci.med.vision, maybe
even if it doesn't work out as planned. Perhaps my study would be such
a perfect one, with such perfect outcomes, that it would appear in
medical journals, science magazines, the news, newspapers, etc. Then
there'd be no reason to doubt the authenticity of my research.

Granny's opthalmologist was the one that discovered that she has
cataracts, and if I treat her within these 6 months and am able to
make them disappear, then I could go with her to her next appointment
with all my data to present to the doc and the fact that she no longer
has cataracts. That should convince the opthalmologist, unless he
forgot all about her diagnosis.

A non human story.

I had a cocker spaniel that at 5 1/2 years old developed cataract in
one eye. I took her to an eye vet specialist who was going to do the
surgery to remove the cataract until he  fully dilated her pupil and
her internal eye pressure became too high to operate. She later lost
that eye to glaucoma. At nine years old she started walking into walls.
She developed dry eye and a cataract in the remaining eye. The vet eye
specialist prescribed cyclosporine drops and tacrolimus drops from a
compounding pharmacy.
Within 6 months the cataract was totally gone and she retained her
sight in the remaining eye for the rest of her life.

Again folks, this is a cocker spaniel, not human.

This thread is typical of the garbage one has to wade through now on
sci.med.vision.

Please take a good look at the original posters questions.  He wanted
info from those who have actually, themselves, reversed their cataract
without surgery.

So far the only post that comes close to answering his question is
that from someone whose dog may have recovered (though there was also
concurrent corneal disease in the dog and the drugs used were to
address the corneal problem).

All the other posts have been declarations that cataract reversal is
impossible, declarations that it is totally possible by someone who
has not done it or even knows someone who has done it, and
declarations that someone is planning to try it but hasn't done it yet
and doesn't yet know what therapy he will try.

Unless you can actually answer the original poster's questions from
personal experience, I suggest you sit on your hands.

This thread was already dead when I picked it up; I wasn't harming
anything. If I hadn't posted this thread would have disappeared from
the sci.med.vision thread viewing list anyway; it seemed that no one
else had anything more to say about cataract reversing. Instead of
blaming other people and complaining about having to 'wade through'
posts, why don't you just kill file me and Jason and be silent and
happy with it? No one is forcing you to read anything on the internet;
that is the beauty of it.

Then why are your hands still typing and posting in this thread?

What about his eighth question: "8)  Could you give me advise as I try
to reverse and hopefully eliminate my cataracts?" - the original
poster wants advice too.
