Thank you all for coming here. This is a wonderful, wonderful audience. Over the years, this is this is great. I wanted to thank Frank and Lorraine Rosenthal for all the years since nineteen seventy three for putting on these fantastic conferences. So we all can learn about the newest.
In an alternative medical therapy for cancer and chronic disease. So we're going to talk about how to reverse, prevent and reverse eye disease. First, we're going to talk about cataract and what a cataract is. It's an opacity of the lens of the eye. The lens of the eye hardens. That's hard at the rate of one percent a year. And when people get to be about 40 or 45, the lens of the eye gets so hard that it can't autofocus. When people look in the distance, the lenses thin and when they look up close, it has to get thick, like an autofocus camera. And when people get to be 40 or 45, they need to get their first pair of reading glasses. The lens continues to harden in 20 or 25 years later.
And the lens becomes opaque. And it's called a cataract. And then people need cataract surgery with the lens implant.
So it's all about circulation. It's poor circulation, hardening of the arteries and not enough nutrition to the lens of the eye.
Then we're going to talk about glaucoma. What is glaucoma? It's elevated.
Interact with the pressure that puts pressure down and damages the optic nerve. Its poor circulation to the optic nerve.
So anything we can do to increase better the circulation to the optic nerve helps to prevent and reverse glaucoma. What is macular degeneration? It's poor circulation to the retina, which is like the film of the camera in the back of the eye. So anything that we do to increase our circulation allows the blood vessels to bring in a micro macro nutrients, take up the waste products of metabolism, bring in more oxygen, take out carbon dioxide. So circulation is the key vitreous floater. The victory is jelly is what holds the eye. It's like jello.
And as we get older, the jello becomes liquefied and we see floaters. We're going to talk about how to prevent and reverse the floaters.
And we're going to talk about dry eye, dry eye, his ocular surface inflammation.
So it's an inflammation of the surface of the eye.
And we're going to talk about how to prevent and reverse that.
Now, I'm going to start off talking about some basics that I've just found about this past year. But first, I wanted to digress. For those who were here last
