These things suck.

Let’s tackle some strategies to get rid of EYE FLOATERS (and optimize your vision):
TOP: Eyes of someone with bad eye floaters

BOTTOM: 6 months after taking a supplement of:

⬩125 mg l-lysine
⬩40 mg vitamin C
⬩26.3 mg grape vine extract
⬩5 mg zinc
⬩100 mg sour orange extract

(called VitroCap N)Image
People taking this supplement had a near 50% improvement in subjective visual discomfort from eye floaters

And they also had a measurable decrease (~50%) in the amount of their eyes that were gummed up by floaters compared to those that didn’t take it.Image
Eye floaters disappear within 3 months of taking fruit enzymes.

The enzymes contained in pineapple, papaya and fig:

⬩190 mg bromelain
⬩95 mg papain
⬩95 mg ficin

Literally dissolve the floaters away.Image
After 3 months of eye floater treatment, people who these fruit enzymes:

⬩92% felt “bright”
⬩90% felt better or much better
⬩92% were satisfied

When prior,

⬩80% felt their floaters were very severe
⬩78% had difficulty performing daily activities

Incredible.Image
Here is a visualization of what the fruit enzymes did.

You don’t need to just live with eye floaters.Image
Now you may be thinking, that’s great, but can I just eat fruit to get rid of my eye floaters?

Well,

After 3 months of eating 2 pieces of pineapple with lunch

Over 70% of people had reductions in floaters.

Insanity.Image
IODINE (eye drops) nearly cures eye floaters:

Over 95% of people with floaters saw improvement, regardless of how severe the floaters were.

Unfortunately they do not mention the exact type of iodine eye drop, but this is incredible!

(yes, it’s all in Polish, I translated it)Image
Nattokinase eliminates eye floaters.

Injected into the eyes (ouch) of animals, it again breaks down the floaters.

No follow up in people, but given the fact that the fruit enzymes work orally, I wouldn’t be surprised if nattokinase can do the same.Image
Infrared lasers eradicate eye floaters.

This has been extensively studied,

but what’s a free way of getting infrared light to your eyes?

That’s right, sunlight!

This is probably a big reason why studies consistently show outdoor time is related to better vision.Image
What causes eye floaters?

Most of the eye is composed of collagenous protein and carbohydrates (the vitreous body)

That’s why eyes are like jello, they kind of are, jello is just collagen protein in water.

The floaters themselves are detached, broken bits of the vitreous bodyImage
What damages this jello like eye stuff, that causes eye floaters?

Oxidative stress.

The vitreous body is filled with antioxidants to protect it from this.

The most important is VITAMIN C - extremely concentrated in the vitreous body, more so than anywhere else in the bodyImage
But what is the source of the oxidation that causes the vitreous body to degrade, resulting in eye floaters?

The OXYGEN comes from the retina - what actually facilitates vision.

If the eyes do not metabolize the oxygen, it leaks into the vitreous body, resulting in oxidation.Image
What impairs the metabolism of the eye that results in this oxidation, that ultimately causes eye floaters?

One big one is BLUE LIGHT.

It literally destroys the mitochondria of the retinal pigment epithelium.

Good thing we’re all in blue light and staring at screens 24/7!Image
I use blue blockers whenever doing lots of computer work, and at night, it’s almost a necessity nowadays.

It sucks, but the cheap ones don’t really do anything, so beware.

I use EMR-Tek, you can get a 15% discount here: emr-tek.com/collections/al…
What else helps with eyeball metabolism and thus eye floaters?

You can destroy the retina with a mitochondrial toxin, and this reduces the metabolism in the eye.

Methylene blue can reverse it, preserving the eyes.Image
Methylene blue I use (1-15 mg, will link relevant content later): healthnatura.com/simply-methyle…
The eyes are highly dependent on GLUCOSE aka carbohydrate.

INSULIN actually enhances glucose metabolism in the eyes

And thus it prevents the death of the rods & cones that facilitate vision.Image
The metabolism in the eye is highly dependent on derivatives of vitamin B3.

In fact, giving eyes a metabolite of B3 (NMN):

⬩Restores metabolism in the eye
⬩Prevents oxidative stress
⬩COMPLETELY prevents death of retinal cells

A visual powerhouse!Image
It has been shown for over half a century that deficiency in vitamin A destroys vision.

Vitamin A is what ends up absorbing all of the light and allows us to SEE.

Not enough vitamin A and the whole eye comes crumbling down.Image
This is the vitamin A I like, in studies reversing visual problems it’s at least 16,000 IU per day, but I really don’t think that’s necessary if you just have floaters. Maybe 1,000-5,000 IU/d. Or just eat beef liver. healthnatura.com/simply-a-15-00…
Pharma companies are in the process of targeting metabolism to treat various visual diseases.

One of the ways they are doing this is by lowering INFLAMMATION.

The key sources of systemic inflammation in the body are:

⬩Dietary polyunsaturated fats (SEED OILS)
⬩Gut problems Image
Some other vital factors that support the antioxidant system, and thus protect our eyes from EYE FLOATERS.

⬩Protein, especially glycine for glutathione
⬩Copper
⬩Manganese
⬩Keeping iron in balance, excess can lead to oxidative stress.
⬩VITAMIN B2
⬩ZINC
⬩SELENIUM
⬩TAURINE

Nicotine has some powerful anti-inflammatory effects, even improving things like autoimmunity and allergies in experiments.

(🧵1/8)Image
More than a few studies have shown that nicotine consumers have lower rates of inflammatory conditions.

For instance, this study showed that the more snuff one consumed, the less MS they developed.

In some studies, even smoking is inversely associated with these conditions.

But is it just a statistical anomaly or a real effect?Image
Multiple sclerosis (MS) has been shown to be improved in multiple experimental models.

One of the primary findings in this condition is the demyelination of the nerves in certain areas of the CNS.

Myelin is a protective coating around nerves, essential for signal transduction and other functions.

Purple staining here shows myelin.

You can see that nicotine treatment actually improved myelination.Image

I used to have DEBILITATING allergies every year.

Couldn't even go outside without breaking out into tears and itches.

Now I forget that they even exist.

This is what I learned about allergies - the 8 KEY ROOT CAUSES behind them (🧵1/12):Image
There are a few chemical mediators that induce the symptoms of allergies:

- Histamine
- Serotonin
- Prostaglandins
- Leukotrienes
- Type 2 cytokines (IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-9 IL-13)

These drive excess mucus production, itch, airway thickening / constriction, redness… everything.

The primary cells involved in releasing them are:

- Mast cells
- Eosinophils
- Basophils
- Neutrophils
- T Cells

This system is in place to protect us against things like parasites and foreign toxins. It helps us eliminate them effectively before they cause even more damage.

The question is, what causes the increased production of these chemicals from these cells unnecessarily?

Why do some people’s immune cells release more of these mediators in response to things that are harmless like pollen?Image
#1 Gut health

Roughly 80% of your immune cells reside in the gut, and they are major players in your susceptibility to allergies.

Poor gut health can wreck your immune system's ability to properly deal with allergens in a few ways:

◈ Bad bacteria shift the balance of T cells away from an anti-inflammatory (regulatory) state to a pro-inflammatory one (Th2/Th17)
◈ Intestinal permeability exposes the immune system to more allergens by allowing "leakage"
◈ Inflammation / bacteria can stimulate innate lymphoid cells (ILC2 via IL-25, IL-33, TSLP), which activates eosinophils, mast cells and B cells to produce IgE
◈ The gut is the biggest source of histamine + serotonin in the entire body by far.

In fact, an animal study showed that you can literally give them allergies simply by giving them the gut bacteria of another animal who has allergies.

The animals with allergies mainly had higher endotoxin containing bacteria, which drive all sorts of inflammation in the gut and beyond.

Allergies start and end in the gut.Image

Autism was substantially improved with just a few 5 minute red light sessions, reducing behavioral symptoms by over 50% in a fascinating study.

(🧵1/8)Image
This study was published in 2018.

Children with autism were given a 635 nm (red) light therapy, administered as either a laser or LED (placebo) light.

While the lights were the same wavelength, the laser is more effective because of its superior:

◇ Spot area
◇ Coherence
◇ Power / intensity

compared to the LED.

They gave the children just twice weekly 5 min sessions at the base of the skull and temporal areas of the skull, for 4 weeks total.

The results were stunning.Image
Total autism behavioral symptoms were cut by over HALF with laser therapy.

What's interesting is that scores continued to decline even after the treatment ended (4 weeks). Image

Your gut is crying for help - here are 5 signs it's giving you that you've been ignoring (🧵1/10):

#1 Coated tongue

This is SO common, yet people just brush their tongue and forget about it.

This coating is literally intestinal bacteria or fungi accumulating on your tongue.Image
Your gut is connected directly to your mouth.

If you have:

➜ Bacterial overgrowth (SIBIO)
➜ Candida
➜ Poor gut motility

these microbes will be abundant and move UP the gut, eventually on to your tongue.

See this all the time with our clients. Image
#2 Water retention / puffiness.

This can be in the face, or in any other area of the body.

People often think they need to lose fat when they just hold on to pounds of water.

Inflammation + excess estrogen are typically behind this.

The gut is a major source of both Image

Combining L-Theanine with caffeine can produce some therapeutic effects in ADHD by modulating brain activity networks.

(🧵1/7)Image
The inability to pay attention in ADHD is not just a feeling, it's a well characterized system in the brain.

There is a brain network known as the default mode network.

This network is several brain regions coordinating together in processes like daydreaming, and can be seen on fMRI scans.

Children with ADHD have higher reactivity of the posterior DMN (precuneus region) during tasks.Image
This study was published in Nature and sought to see if L-Theanine + caffeine could dampen the default mode network.

Children were given 2.5 mg / kg bodyweight of theanine + 2 mg / kg caffeine.

They got their brains scanned and were then asked to perform some cognitive assessments.

Yes, it's a small study, but it still gives us some important information.Image

ANOTHER one of the most impressive studies in recent memory found that the combination of NAC + Glycine has remarkable anti-aging effects in nearly every metric.

(🧵1/8)Image
Image
This study came out in 2021.

Both older (71-80 years old) and young (21-30 y/o) people were enrolled.

The older folks got a large dose:

◇ Glycine: ~7 g/day
◇ NAC: ~9 g/day (≈ 6.9 g cysteine equivalent)

for 24 weeks.

This doesn't necessarily mean that one has to take this much, since this was measuring a relatively short period of time on the elderly, so they were trying to up their stores rapidly.

Typically, a maintenance dose of NAC is 1.2-2.4g, and glycine 3-6g.Image
Basic labwork showed improvements with the supplement.

◇ ↓ BUN (blood urea nitrogen) - nitrogen waste / protein breakdown
◇ ↓ Creatinine - muscle protein breakdown marker
◇ ↑ Estimated GFR - measure of kidney filtration capacity
◇ ↓ Triglycerides - circulating fats

But it goes way deeper than this.Image
