percent of people will get cataracts develop dry eyes, 20 percent get the droopy eyelid

and there's other complications like floaters. So personally, I would try more of a natural

route first, since they have very little side effects, people will say, well, where's

the scientific studies? There's no studies that validate using this natural remedy, which

basically cost pennies that can potentially help you. There's not a lot of science-based

evidence to show that that's going to be effective. Well, guess what? I have news for

you. There won't be who's going to invest the thousands or tens of thousands or even

millions of dollars on studies that involve natural remedies. It's not going to happen.

You can't patent these things. Instead, why don't we take a look at the mechanism of what causes

a cloudy lens, which is a cataract, and then use some type of natural remedy that makes sense,

that really has very minimal downsides compared to drugs and surgery. The first thing you

can know about the eye is this. It's one of those tissues that is highly affected by blood

sugars. If your blood sugars are high, the eye is very vulnerable to high sugars. When the

sugar is high, it creates a tremendous amount of oxidation or oxidative stress. That is the

one thing that we know about cataracts. You can think of oxidative stress as something resting

out. Let's say, for example, you have your car and it has rust spots because of all the salt on

the roads, whatever. If you're raised in some place like Wisconsin, which gets really cold,
