Hello, everyone, its Dr. Sam, I’d like to welcome you to my EyeClarity podcast. This is a show that offers cutting edge information on how to improve your vision and overall wellness through holistic methods. I so appreciate you spending part of your day with me. If you have questions, you can send them to Hello at Dr. Sam Berne calm now to the latest I clarity episode. Hey folks, it’s Dr. Sam and I want to welcome you to another AI clarity podcast. So today’s show I want to talk to you about glaucoma. And we know that glaucoma is a silent disease. We don’t even know that we have it unless we go to our doctor and he or she measures our pressure looks at our visual fields and examines the optic nerve health. Now in many other video blogs, I’ve talked about important ingredients that help neutralize some of the glaucoma affects you know, like omega three fatty acids, Tarin, bilberry, gingko. These are all important for optic nerve health. The key in glaucoma is protecting your optic nerve health. But today, I want to give you three ingredients that maybe are not on your shortlist. These are all natural, that could be added to your glaucoma regimen. So the first is called coleus forskohlii II. Now, this is an herbal remedy, not many people know about it. So it’s plant based. And in some very small studies that have been done, it can bring your eye pressure down three or four points. I’ve been using it for years as a support mechanism to help people bring their AI pressures down. So it is one that I would highly recommend for you. Again, it’s called coleus forskohlii ai. Alright, my number two, little bit off the radar is something called resveratrol. And this amazing ingredient can help with the blood circulation, especially in the tiny blood vessels in the retina. It helps reduce oxidative stress. And there’s one other thing that it does, it’s helpful and that it reduces this tendency for the growth of abnormal blood vessels. And these abnormal blood vessels that sometimes grow in the retina. do so because the retinas so starved. So the retina is trying to produce these blood vessels, but they’re so weak, that creates a lot of hemorrhaging. It creates a lot of edema. And we see this a lot in wet macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy. And the medical term which you may have heard of is called angiogenesis. So resveratrol can help reduce the angiogenesis This is powerful, especially if you’re dealing with wet AMD. And you’re not wanting to do the injections anymore. But it’s also helpful for glaucoma because it helps with the ocular flow. Remember, glaucoma is a vascular disease. In fact, there’s some research that says it starts in the brain, and then it moves into the eyes. So whatever it is, things that you can do to boost your oxygenation and your hydration in those tiny micro capillary blood vessels. And resveratrol does that.

I recommend about 150 milligrams per day of resveratrol if you’re going to try it. Alright, and my number three potent ingredient for glaucoma is something called co q 10. Most of you have heard of this. And it is a neuro protector protects the nerves, the nervous system or neurological health, which of course our eyes our retina or optic nerve is part of so when you take co q 10 you’re doing something else that’s positive and that is you are supporting mitochondria function. And we know in mitochondria function, the better the mitochondria working, the more it produces ATP, which helps nutrient absorption gets rid of oxidative stress reduces inflammation. So if you can find any agent that improves mitochondria function, jump on it, it slows the aging process down, it’s going to give you more energy. Alright, some other things that COQ10 does is it protects us against over sun exposure. You know, I’m really into getting 30 to 60 minutes of natural sunlight every day, but at the same time, it’s important to protect your eyes from too much sun. And the same goes for our screen time. LCDs televisions, all that blue light, especially after 6pm if you’re concerned with the blue light, you’ve got glaucoma, I would add co q 10 to my shortlist. Now, if you’re not wanting to take a supplement, and by the way, the average dose I would start with is about 100 milligrams a day. But the food sources of CO q 10 would be things like salmon, tuna, organ meats, and whole grains. So that’s my short list. Maybe some of you haven’t heard of these ingredients being able to help neutralize some of the glaucoma effects but they work. Alright everybody, that’s my show for today. I want to thank you for tuning in. Until next time, take care.
