cataracts

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know of a non-surgical cure for cataracts that works? I

have used an herbal eyewash which is supposed to produce results nut

it is clearly not working, I have also tried Reiki, but no effect

that I can discern. I am currently uneployed wit no insurance and no

end in sight, so am trying to avoid surgery.

 

It was with interest that I noted the post on Borderline Personality

Disorder since I was curiously unaware that this was treated

medically. (There are books on the psychoanalytic treatment of this

disorder but one common trait of all the personality disorders is

that they tend not to be treated successfully using psychotherapy.)

There is a school of psychiatry called "orthomolecular" which claims

to have had results by regarding psychiatric disorders as the result

of the inability of some systems to properly metabolize some

nutrients. (Other conditions such as allergic toxicity can according

to them result in psychiatric syndromes.) It is well known, for

example, that a deficiency of niacin will produce psychotic symptoms

in normal people. An examination and blood tests are required to

determine what protocol would be appropriate but this system is

unpopular with mainstream allopathic physicians because it does not

employ drugs, which are the basis of all allopathic medicine.

Hi Steve

 

to some extent its a matter of knowing what type of cataract (kacha)

you have - ayurveda describes six types

one caused by trauma (head injury, bright light)

and five caused by the doshas, mostly classified on the basis of the

color of the lens

surgery was also traditionally prescribed as well, but most Ayurvedic

physicians don't know how to do this anymore

 

without knowing specifics you can make some triphala ghritam as a

general treatment

simply obtain some quality triphala powder (packed in the last year)

one part decocted in 4 parts (by volume) ghee, and 16 parts (by volume)

water

 

put the powder and the ghee in a pot and mark the level with a

chopstick or something else

add 16 parts water and bring to a boil, reduce to simmer, and decoct

the remaining water away

check the level periodically, and when the level gets down to the level

you marked on the chopstick, take a little water and sprinkle on the

surface of the ghee

if it splutters and hisses, all the water is gone - if not, continue

decocting until there is no more water

 

allow to cool, and then strain

once with a metal mesh strainer

and then next with some clean, sterile linen

 

when strained, put into a clean, sterile vessel, and store in a dark

cool place

 

each night before bed take a half tsp (using a clean, sterile spoon) of

the this preparation and instill in the affected eye

and go to bed

 

alternately or in addition you can use a well-filtered infusion of

triphala as an eyewash, in the morning (and evening without using the

ghee preparation), using an eye-cup

 

for this mix 1 tsp of triphala in hot water and let steep for 10 minutes

strain with linen and when cool apply as an eye rinse

 

a traditional western herbal formula is one part each eyebright,

goldenseal, raspberry leaves and half part cayenne

pepper, prepared as an infusion, strained well, and used as an eyewash

 

all the above also helpful for glaucoma

 

you should also take triphala internally, with some trivrit if

constipated yogarajaguggulu can be helpful too, as can extra amalaki

there may thyroid problems, so the guggulu above can be of help, as

well as iodine and b vitamins of course EFAs and vit A are key to eye health

eat lots of blueberries

 

and for almost all eye dz i recommend a low carb diet (cataracts

specifically related to hyperglycemia)

 

best...

My goodness, thanks for all the interesting information. I think the

type I have is posterior. I have brown eyes and have not used a low

carb diet thus, far so that is probably it. Also genetic, my mother

and sister both had cataracts. Any leads on where to get all this

stuff you mentioned?
