156 Achieving pH Balance to Treat Specific Ailments
away. This puzzled him because he could eat other wheat products such
as couscous, wheat crackers, and whole-wheat pita bread without any ill
effects. Bread, however, contains yeast, which none of the other wheat
products in his diet did. By avoiding bread Frank also brought his tem-
perature back up to 98.6 degrees. For his cataract-thickened lens to
produce enough energy to eliminate his cataract, Frank took extra
amounts of vitamin B 2. In six months his cataract disappeared. It had
been broken up, dissolved, and eliminated, leaving Frank with a lens as
clear as crystal.SUGGESTIONS FOR CATA R ACT S*
➤ Progesterone. Topical natural progesterone relieves cataracts
and other eye problems. Apply on the neck, on the wrists, or
inside the elbows. Follow the directions on the label. (Use
periodically.)
➤ Thyroid supplements. See Chapter 5 for more information.
➤ Vitamin E (400 to 800 units) and coconut oil. Ta ke n
together, these assist the thyroid supplements in normalizing
thyroid function.
➤ Ribofl avin (B 2 ) (15 to 50 mg/day). Along with vitamin C,
ribofl avin helps assure energy production in the lens.
➤ Vitamin B complex. Take a complex that contains 100 mg
each of B 1 , B 2 , B 3 , and B 6 three times a day.
➤ Vitamin D (1,000 units/day). Vitamin D assists in the
absorption and utilization of calcium so that it doesn’t become
waste and harden the lens and cornea.
➤ Vitamin A (25,000 to 50,000 units/day).
➤ Vitamin C (1 g /day).
➤ Avoid the use of microwave ovens. Cataracts have been
linked to microwave radiation.^4 Just as cooking an egg causes
the white part of the egg to lose its transparency, so heat
radiating from a microwave can elevate the temperature of
the eye to the point where the lens gradually becomes
opaque.*Take as many of these nutrients as possible in the form of whole-food complexes. For
dosage, follow the directions on the label.
