EDTA

I started off using 1-2 drops of 20% DMSO twice a day for three weeks, and in the third week, began adding calcium disodium EDTA. I saw significant improvement just from using DMSO alone, going from a state of being almost totally blind in my left eye and with limited vision in my right eye, to being able to see and read again by the third week. I began adding 2-3 drops of the EDTA (an oral liquid form manufactured by Global Healing) to 7 drops of the DMSO. The EDTA manufactured by Global Healing is supposed to be much more bioavailable than previous forms of EDTA, but since DMSO is known to be able to penetrate deeply into any tissue and carry in whatever is mixed with it, it does the work of carrying the EDTA into the eye. DMSO works to dissolve denatured proteins and cellular waste, and EDTA helps to chelate out heavy metals, which studues have found to be in high concentration in eyes with cataracts. I'm in week 4 and have continued to see gradual improvement day by day. All floaters and cellular debris that was obstructing my vision are gone. Glare is still a problem, but the cloudiness seems to be decreasing. Colors are deeper and more vibrant and night vision improved. It should also be noted that I lead a very healthy lifestyle, eating no processed foods, intermittent fast, and have done gut and liver cleansing, with the liver being of particular importance to vision. The lifestyle changes had helped my cataracts greatly before the episode of near blindness mentioned above, which was brought about suddenly by a short-lived illness.

Cataracts & EDTA.

I saw a study that indicated that EDTA might help treat cataracts. This is my experience.

I had an appointment with an eye doctor in November 2019. He indicated I was starting to develop cataracts. I had heard somewhere that EDTA might be a treatment. So, I did some investigation on making eye drops using EDTA. I found out that EDTA needed a pH of 8 in order to dissolve. I thought of creating my own pH solution to dissolve the EDTA but decided to check out eye drops to see if any of them had a pH of 8.

I found that 'Systane Ultra' eye drops had a pH of 8. The 'Systane Ultra' dropper bottle was 10 ml. I opened one 600 mg gel capsule of EDTA and dumped the total contents of the capsule into the 10 ml dropper bottle of 'Systane Ultra' eye drops. The EDTA completely dissolved in it with no problem.

So, I used these drops every day and sometimes several times a day. My next appointment was supposed to be in November 2020 but because of covid it was rescheduled to April 20,2021.

The doctor reexamined my eye and found no improvement in the cataract. So, I just wanted to report this to save other people the trouble of doing this experiment again. EDTA for cataracts is also mentioned in the following link:

For what it's worth.
