如何用天然疗法预防白内障
摘要
白内障是眼睛晶状体变浑浊所致，通常与衰老、慢性压力、药物副作用及胰岛素水平升高有关。Berg 博士提出了两种关键的天然疗法——脂溶性维生素 B1 和 NAC 滴眼液——可能有助于修复并预防晶状体浑浊。同时，改善饮食和解决insulin resistance问题也被强调为根本之策。
核心要点
- 白内障由眼睛晶状体浑浊引起，若不及时治疗最终需要手术
- insulin水平升高、diabetes及insulin resistance是主要致病因素
- Prednisone（一种皮质类固醇）被列为可导致白内障的副作用药物
- **脂溶性维生素 B1（Benfotiamine）**比普通水溶性 B1 更能穿透细胞膜，深入眼部组织
- NAC（N-乙酰肌肽）滴眼液可直接滴入眼睛，帮助修复晶状体
- 糖尿病患者因葡萄糖长期消耗vitamin B1，尤其面临高风险，可能导致视力丧失
- 改善饮食被认为是配合上述疗法不可或缺的基础措施
详细内容
白内障的成因
白内障是正常衰老过程的一部分，但以下因素会加速其发展：
- 慢性压力
- 使用 Prednisone（一种常见皮质类固醇药物）
- 胰岛素水平升高，包括糖尿病、糖尿病前期及insulin resistance患者
与胰岛素的关联是核心主题——葡萄糖和胰岛素水平升高似乎会消耗眼部关键营养素，尤其是vitamin B1。
疗法一：脂溶性维生素 B1
- 普通维生素 B1 为水溶性，限制了其渗透组织的深度
- 脂溶性形式（如 Benfotiamine）能够穿透细胞膜，到达眼部更深层的结构
- 此类型对以下情况尤为有益：
- 修复白内障相关的晶状体损伤
- Peripheral neuropathy及其他神经相关疾病
- 糖尿病患者因葡萄糖代谢长期消耗 B1，尤其容易出现缺乏，因此补充对该群体格外重要
疗法二：N-乙酰肌肽（NAC）滴眼液
- **N-乙酰肌肽（NAC）**滴眼液直接滴入眼睛使用
- 被认为是修复眼部晶状体的高效局部疗法
- 购买方便，可在网上或实体店获取
饮食基础
Berg 博士强调，天然疗法与饮食调整相结合效果最佳，后者旨在解决导致白内障形成的潜在胰岛素及血糖问题。具体饮食指导可参考相关单独视频。

How to Prevent Cataracts With Natural Remedies
Summary
Cataracts occur when the eye’s lens becomes cloudy, often linked to aging, chronic stress, medication side effects, and elevated insulin levels. Dr. Berg outlines two key natural remedies — fat-soluble vitamin B1 and NAC eye drops — that may help repair and prevent lens clouding. Addressing diet and insulin resistance is also emphasized as foundational.
Key Takeaways
- Cataracts are caused by a clouding of the eye’s lens, eventually requiring surgery if untreated
- Elevated insulin levels, diabetes, and insulin resistance are major contributing factors
- Prednisone (a corticosteroid) is listed as a drug that can cause cataracts as a side effect
- Fat-soluble vitamin B1 (Benfotiamine) penetrates cell membranes more effectively than standard water-soluble B1, reaching deeper into eye tissue
- NAC (N-Acetylcarnosine) eye drops can be applied directly to the eye to help repair the lens
- Diabetics are particularly at risk due to glucose depleting vitamin B1 levels over time, which can lead to vision loss
- Fixing diet is considered essential alongside these remedies
Details
What Causes Cataracts?
Cataracts develop as part of the normal aging process but are accelerated by several factors:
- Chronic stress
- Prednisone use (a common corticosteroid medication)
- High insulin levels, including in people with diabetes, pre-diabetes, and insulin resistance
The connection to insulin is a central theme — elevated glucose and insulin appear to deplete key nutrients in the eye, particularly vitamin B1.
Remedy #1: Fat-Soluble Vitamin B1
- Standard vitamin B1 is water-soluble, which limits how deeply it penetrates tissues
- The fat-soluble form (such as Benfotiamine) is able to pass through cell membranes and reach deeper structures within the eye
- This form is particularly beneficial for:
- Repairing cataract-related lens damage
- Peripheral neuropathy and other nerve-related conditions
- Diabetics are especially likely to be deficient in B1 due to glucose metabolism depleting it over time, making supplementation especially relevant for this group
Remedy #2: N-Acetylcarnosine (NAC) Eye Drops
- N-Acetylcarnosine (NAC) drops are applied directly to the eye
- Described as a highly effective topical remedy for repairing the lens of the eye
- Widely available and can be sourced online or in stores
Dietary Foundation
Dr. Berg stresses that natural remedies work best when paired with dietary changes that address the underlying insulin and blood sugar issues driving cataract formation. Separate videos on diet are referenced for further guidance.
