Summary

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about one of the best natural remedies for glaucoma. Glaucoma is a condition where there is increased pressure inside the eyeball. This puts pressure on the optic nerve and can diminish your vision and cause blindness.


Around 80 million people in the world have glaucoma, and 50% of them are unaware that they have it. Research suggests that glaucoma could be an autoimmune disease, which would explain why this natural remedy is so effective!


In 2014, a study involving over 6,000 people in Korea showed a very high correlation between people with low vitamin D and glaucoma. People with glaucoma had three times more problems with the vitamin D receptor.


A German doctor named Dr. Harald Schelle uses high doses of vitamin D for numerous eye problems. Many autoimmune cases of glaucoma have a genetic problem with the vitamin D receptor, the conversion from the inactive to the active form of vitamin D, or an issue with vitamin D absorption. Collectively, these problems are referred to as vitamin D resistance.


To combat vitamin D resistance, you must increase your dosage. The standard recommendation for vitamin D is 20 ng per ml, however this is outdated and inaccurate. Dr. Schelle says we should have between 100 to 150 ng per ml of vitamin D.


Dr. Coimbra from Brazil has also seen excellent results using high doses of vitamin D for autoimmune conditions. He recommends starting with 1000 IUs of vitamin D per kilogram of body weight. For example, a person weighing 84 kilograms would need 84,000 IUs of vitamin D3 daily.


To minimize the risk of calcium buildup in the arteries, try the following:

•Don’t take a calcium supplement

•Reduce your consumption of calcium-rich foods

•Drink 2.5 liters of fluid daily

•Take 100 mcg of vitamin K2 for every 10,000 IUs of vitamin D3

•Take 600 mg of magnesium daily

Let's talk about the best vitamin to fight glaucoma.

0:04.4

Now, before you take any actions that I'm about to recommend,

0:09.4

make sure you check with your doctor. I'm not telling you to come off your medications. What I'm just trying to do is put this on your medications.

0:13.0

What I'm just trying to do is put this on your radar

0:15.0

because this data has been really hard to find.

0:18.0

So I'm going to share with you because if you have glaucoma

0:22.0

or know of someone, I think they need to know about alternatives.

0:25.6

Glaucoma is a situation where you have this increased pressure inside your eyeball and the danger of that is it can put pressure on the optic nerve and it

0:36.4

could diminish your vision to the point where it could potentially cause blindness.

0:41.0

In fact, glaucoma is the second cause of blindness with

0:44.9

certain individuals. There's 80 million people in the world that have glaucoma and

0:49.9

50% of them are unaware that they have it.

0:53.5

And what I stumbled on with glauma is actually quite fascinating and I had no idea

0:58.4

that glaucoma could potentially be an autoimmune disease, which will explain the natural remedy I'm going to talk about.

1:06.4

Now, if you typically research glaucoma with natural remedies or vitamins or nutrition or whatever, you're not going to find anything.

1:16.0

In fact, you will see some papers on this that says there's no results, don't even try.

1:22.0

Of course, that doesn't convince me because first of all who is going to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in research studies?

1:30.0

So do we just hope and pray that someday someone will do some research to prove it?

1:34.8

Or what about just trying something natural to see if it works for you?

1:38.6

Especially when you hear what I'm going to talk about in a between glauma and vitamin D. In 2014 there was a

1:47.3

study done in Korea with over 6,000 people that showed a very high correlation between low vitamin D and glaucoma.

1:56.5

They found that people with glaucoma had three times more problems with the vitamin D receptor.
