Sand_Kitty and others. Steve Kirsch interviewed Tom Kerber regarding his red light/NIR devices. Anecdotally this device cured a cataract in one eye. The other eye had surgery. Here is the device which has 660 and 1050 nm light. SuperPalm 1050 - SunPowerLED
Here’s the video which also includes comments from Dr. Ryan Cole. Tom Kerber’s part begins a 1:08.00
Also, I am using a 100% DMSO from Belle Chemical. It has never itched no matter where I place it. I have wondered how one would know whether it was DMSO as it has no odor. The DMSO 70/30 with aloe vera does itch a bit, but its no big deal. Even with that there is no odor.
The use of DMSO in eyes is interesting. I’m having serious side effects from RK surgery in the 80’s, to the point my vision is uncorrectable with glasses. I have to wear special hard contacts to get my vision adequate enough for driving. Also cataracts are developing, which is a tough surgery for past RK patients.
Sounds like you need to DILUTE the DMSO for eye use.
Abstract
The anti-inflammatory properties of topical ocular dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were investigated using a standard experimental model of an acute inflammatory ocular inflammation. Ninety percent and 100% DMSO aggravated the inflammatory response, 50% to 70% DMSO had similar responses as the control eye; however, 30% DMSO had definite anti-inflammatory properties. Dexamethasone 0.1% was superior to 30% DMSO as an anti-inflammatory agent. From this study it is evident that high concentrations of DMSO are irritating to the inflammatory ocular model used while lower concentrations have anti-inflammatory properties. The two side effects of skin irritation at the site of application and breath odor may be the subjective influence that leads certain patients to report a beneficial effect of DMSO treatment in ocular inflammation.
I’m still reading and tracking down the citations in AMD article. This is an n=1, but it also has a pubmed link which provides generalized information. Sharing Final Results of DMSO experiment on Eyes It appears this fellow is not dealing with an inflammation per se.
“Interestingly, the high efficacy of the proposed therapy resulted from the synergetic action of its components, namely, the general healing activity of dimethyl sulfoxide, suppressing prostaglandins and the more specific effect of zileuton, down regulating leukotriene B4 (inhibition of T-cell recruitment), as well as upregulating docosahexaenoic acid (activation of resolution pathways)”
A low-dose formulation of 1% PVP-I (w/w) in a gel containing DMSO for use in the setting of recalcitrant rosacea blepharoconjunctivitis was effective in abating the signs and symptoms in a 78-year-old male with chronic, long-standingBlepharitis.
This experiment showed that DMSO alone had a preventive effect on cataract formation and retinal function decline in DR. Previous studies suggested that DMSO application to ocular tissues could have therapeutic effects on conditions like retinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration (22). According to the reports, the progression of cataracts in the DMSO 50 group was slower (20,35). Similarly in our study, there was a significant difference in cataract progression stages between the DMSO 50 group and the DMSO 0 group
I hope everyone who tries DMSO on their eyes shares the results here.
Last week I was told by my optometrist that I have cataracts that will likely need surgery within 10 years. I’m hoping that DMSO (or something else) can reverse them.
I’ve been following and using DMSO for decades. I have a book on how DMSO was dismissed by the FDA (IRC) in 1950’s.
I’m reluctant to try it in my eyes, but hell, I took Ivermectin that was made for horses Medical “science” said RK was safe and effective, and here I am…
Phil, you are way ahead of me. I only started treating a knee injury around Sept. 10th, with a 100% DMSO.
What’s interesting to me is this experience by A Midwestern Doctor:
•Applied 100% DMSO topically and had trouble believing anyone couldn’t tolerate that.
•Applied 70% DMSO topically, had a bit of irritation but thought it was manageable.
•Applies 30% topically and felt it was too strong.
I’m assuming, that AMD used a 100% then diluted with distilled water to the different percentages. I’m very curious. For me, It’s a massive learning-reading curve.
