The problem with cataracts is not so much finding the right remedy - but reversing the inflammatory state which caused them. A remedy THEN can help. This is what Hahnemann calls "removing the maintaining cause" of the cataracts.
It's again the issue that a remedy cannot provide nutrients, and in this case the incorrect ratios of nutrients have caused the problem - cataracts are sledom caused by trauma or direect harm, they more often are the result of the body being in a state of inflamamtion due to eating far too few anti-inflamamtory items compared to inflammatory ones.. No remedy can reverse the dietary deficiencies.
All chronic diseases are maintained by this imbalance between anti-inflammatory ingredients in food and the inflammatory ones. If the net result of what is eaten, is anti-inflamamtory, then there will not be any way to maintain and develop a chronic condition (such as cataract).
Just WHICH chronic condition will develop when the body has a net inflamamtory state, depends on a lot of things including innate constitutional type weaknesses (tendencies in the way the body is designed) and also on nutrient specifics such as deficiencies of a set of nutrients needed in a specific part of the body (such as the lens of the eye).
If the lens os the eye lacks nutrients that keep proteins aligned (needed for a clear lens) then the protein will clump and cause cataract.
Candystripers should not make pronouncements about brain surgery either. And people should not believe statements by unqualified candystripers. The allopaths have MD or DVM degrees. Hopmeopaths have equivalent credentials. We do not tend to believe peopl who "know a little about apllopathy" without a MD or DVM - why is that different in homeopathy?
SO speaking as someone with D.I. Hom and a D.Vet Hom, it is my opinion that
Certainly a remedy can help remove a cataract - AFTER the maintaining cause is addressed.
Depends how you define scar tissue - technically in allopathy, scar tissue is made from neutrophil granules. Not so for cataract. It is misaligned and sometimes discolored (brownish as in rusted), protein.
If the protein lies in a specific structural way, it makes the lens trsansparent. THis damage is all the result of oxidation (the body's equivalent of rust damage.) The way to prevent it (and overcome it) is with anti-oxidants.
One needs to eat foods high in antioxidants, and skip inflammatory foods.
Antioxidants include minerals like magnesium chloride (not other forms), copper, zinc, selenium, molybdenum and some other minerals.
Also vitamins like C, E,
Plus anti-stress vitamins (to stop production of internal oxidation products like stress hormones) B6. Pantothenic acid, more ascorbic acid,
Plus high potency anti-oxidants in food along with beneficial fatty acids - such as DHA and EPA (both in fish oil or krill oil - NOT in flax or plant oils) also omega-9 fatty acids (extra virgin olive oil, EVO) and very powerful antioxidants in EVO. Plant PIGMENTS are antioxidants so the darker the veg or fruit the better - also pink pigment is great (shrimp, watermelon, tomato, pomegranate etc).
Spices used in cooking are fantastic anti-oxidants, as are herbs in cooking. Use generously.
Nuts, esp walnuts, almonds, brazil nuts, etc
Fun stuff: Dark choclate plain or coveromg fruit/berries/nuts, red wine.
TO avoid:
Plant oils, esp soy (as in mayo and salad dressing), canola etc.
Potato and grains esp wheat and any GMO ones. (If you must eat some chose rice bran, teff, quinoa, also millet unless you have thyroid issues.) Use sweet potato, yams, dark squash, etc instead - high pigment items.
Sweeteners - artificial or sugar - all are inflammatory. Learn to eat without them.
Anything made with wheat or sugar or starch.
Pop, soda or whatever you call that toxic type of drink.
Dry eyes result from a diet with far too little fat, and/or the wrong fat. Eyes are "dry" when there is not enough oil in the diet to lubricate them. The oil needs to be EVO - in quaqntioty, it is hard to get too much - ladle it on! - also fish oil, hard to get enough. Nuts, Rice bran. A little coconut oil. Skip the soy and seed oils. Saturated fat in fresh cooked meat is fine (neutral) but offset with plenty of EVO. DO not stint on oil. EVERY single cell in your body needs a full complement of suitable fatty acids from GOOD fat, all around it in its cell wall (called cell membrane in USA). This is actively involved in making the cell work properly. It lets nutrients in and lets toxins ouitl If that fatty acid membrane lacks the right quantity and quality of fatty acids, there is a dry state or worse a glud stiff state, (called an inflammatory state as nutrieints can not get in and toxins inside that cannot get out, cause inflamamtion) and damage ensues.
SO this inflammatory state can result in cataract in the eyes, also macular degeneration, retinal detatchment and any other damage..
This is one of the fatty acids that also is highly anti-inflamamtory from fish oil or krill oil., The full name is docosahexaenoic acid. I would take a half dozen caps a day of fish oil or 4 or 5 of krill oil.
Krill are very tiny plankton that contain the DHA, and it ges into fish fat (called fish oil) when fish eat krill.
DO not fall for ads that say "omega-3". There is omega-3 in flax and other plants - but that is a differnet one which is inflamamtory.) Get fish oil or krill oil - their omega-3 is ANTI-inflamamtory AND they have DHA and EPA anti-oxidants as well. A triple benefit.
Diet AND remedy - I'd get the remedy properly matched individually.
Namaste,
Irene
