so some years back I moved from one state to another we packed up this uh massive trailer that I was going to drive to another state and Tow my car on the back and then my wife and kids were going to fly to where we’re going and we’d meet them at a certain location so I’m driving on the street and I’m actually taking these small little town roads in the middle of nowhere and I’m driving along and all of a sudden my eyes are really dry and so I’m blinking my eyes really sticky and I close it and I open up and my cornea rips and now I can’t see so I could barely drive with one eye and I’m driving down the street and I’m like now what I need to pull off and maybe get some rest right so I pull off somewhere in some little town in the middle of nowhere and I find a little uh Motel six or something and I go in there and I’m going to just take a nap right so I lay there for a couple hours fall asleep and I I’m like okay good so it’s all healed up I don’t feel it I open my eye and it rips again I’m like oh no I need to find an ey doctor it’s a Saturday okay so I start walking on the side of the street looking for an eye doctor you know just stumbling around and I happen to look up it happens to be an eye doctor right right down the street I’m like so I go up to the office knocking the door they says oh yeah we can’t see you until Monday because we’re really backed up and I’m like no I I need to get on the road because I have to meet my My Wife and Kids very soon and so they said I’m sorry we can’t see you and I just basically walked right back to the doctor’s office and I said listen I need your help I need to you need to do something with my eye I cannot see I have to drive back so he gives me a little couple drops of medication now I can see because it numbs the pain I get back on the road and then I eventually make it to my destination what that was was something called dry up ey so let’s take a look at my whiteboard here dry eye little did I know that this was a vitamin A deficiency still be sticky and it can rip your cornea and it’s very irritating also a vitamin A deficiency can cause night blindness now typically when someone’s deficient of vitamin A it could be they’re eating too much junk food and in my case that’s what it was or it could be a problem with the gallbladder so they can’t extract the vitamin A from the food but typically you’re going to get vitamin A from egg yolks liver butter cod liver oil now a lot of times people will say that uh you can get your vitamin A from Plants because there’s a lot of vitamin A but in reality what you have in plants is the precursor called beta carotene but the conversion is not that much so you would have to consume a tremendous amount of vegetables to just get a little bit of the active form of vitamin A which is retinol and also as a side note you need need zinc to allow vitamin A to work so you could be getting enough vitamin A but not enough zinc zinc is in red meat it’s in oysters shellfish it’s in liver but you’re not going to get a lot of zinc if you’re eating refined foods and refined sugar the next condition I want to talk about is something called retinopathy you usually see that with diabetes that’s a problem with the retina the retina is basically brain tissue that’s extending into the eye it’s picking up information and it’s bringing into the brain so you can actually see and diabetes is the number one cause of retinopathy and so all this glucose is creating oxidation or rusting on your nervous system it’s a lot of free radical damage a lot of problems so the antidote to that is something called benine benine is a type of B1 that’s made in a fat side form so it can go into the nerve tissue so many complications of diabetes like peripheral neuropathy like diabetic retinopathy can be helped by taking higher doses of benot toine it can act as an antioxidant and it actually really helps to support the nervous system and the blood flow to the nerves especially in the retina now we get to this thing called floaters okay when you consume protein with sugar it causes this chemical reaction called glycation so it sticks together and it becomes Like Glue and it gets stuck in the body and that’s what floaters are now the way to get rid of floaters one is just by changing your diet and that could handle it right there low carb can help it and some people even need to do what’s called carnivore for a month or two but also there’s a condition called autophagy where your body is recycling damaged proteins anything in the body recycled that and the way to get your body in autophagy is doing fasting this is why I recommend if you have floaters you should be doing intermittent fasting and sometimes prolonged fasting that can really help clean up those floaters if you have them all right let’s dive into this thing called macular degeneration now sometimes you’ll hear age related macular degeneration and it’s interesting how they put this cause the age you’re getting older that’s what’s causing this I I just don’t buy it and I don’t think everyone as they get older gets macular degeneration but the first of all what is the macula well that’s the back part of the eye that’s extending out of the brain there’s a lot of things that can affect that so you have blue light okay blue light that’s your LED light all the smartphones your laptop you also have of course the obvious stuff alcohol smoking sugar but the biggest thing is the SE seed oils and so he’s an MD that specializes in eye diseases and he made this huge connection between seed oils and macular degeneration so all these seed oils are going to Lodge into this membrane and it’s going to get stuck there for like 3 years and so the problem is these are rancid oils and anything that increases inflammation like Omega 6 oils seed oils are going to cause more of a degeneration not just with the immaculate but different parts of the eye as well and of course the antidote to that is to cut down on the seed oils and then increase the Omega three fats there’s three natural compounds that protect you against macular degeneration and that would be lutein zanthin and miso zanthin and all three of these are carotenoids so where do you get lutein zanthin or meso zanthin well you can get it from Green green vegetables yellow vegetables or fruits orange vegetables or fruits you can get it from egg yolks Seafood like salmon and shrimp and also grass-fed animals I sent my beef into a study I live on a farm and I I raised some beef guess what we had a tremendous amount of carotenoids in that beef now also macul degeneration is the second cause of blindness in adult and so when we start to increase these in our diet we can sometimes improve our vision all right let’s now talk about glucoma okay this is a an eye condition where you have a lot of pressure in the eye and um the pressure is creating damage on the back part of the eye where the retina is now I recently did an entire video on this topic that was based on a book by an optomologist I’m taking high doses of vitamin D4 glucoma and apparently there’s some great results when you normally check the blood this doctor mentioned the current normal values are severely outdated especially for a vitamin D deficiency being like below 20 nanograms per milliliter I mean that’s like so outdated he recommends vitamin D levels to be between 100 nanograms per milliliter to 150 nanograms per milliliter and the reason for that is that apparently this condition there’s a lot of evidence that it’s an autoimmune disease so if that’s true then you need to break through the resistance so you have to take a lot of vitamin D to penetrate that barrier and resolving the problem and now let’s talk a little bit about cataracts cataracts are an opaque situation with the lens of the eye sticky proteins develop in the body that become nonfunctional bec
