Re: NACA and cataracts

No knives please, doctor - no laser knives either!

Cataract is biochemistry gone wrong. So, we need to put the biochemistry right - not to tear out the human lens, and replace it with a piece of plastic which is and will always be inferior to the real thing.
It is small wonder that things can and do go wrong with the eye during or after cataract surgery. The human eye is a fantastic, highly evolved and beautiful organ which was never designed to function with a plastic lens, with which it will never be fully compatible. We should stand in awe at this wonder which we all take for granted. Quite apart from the risks and tragedies of cataract surgery, it is illogical, unscientific, shameful, and above all, cruel to take a knife to this marvelous organ, and throw it away, just because it didn't suit us to repair it.
Perhaps, in 1850, clinicians might have been forgiven for having no means at their disposal with which to repair it. But things are very different today. In addition to the 4 doctors I mentioned before who realized their calling was to restore eyesight without risk - and already did so in many thousands of documented cases spanning the last 100 years - chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics and nutrition have all made tremendous advances, and we know a great deal about lens biochemistry and cataracts. Although those 4 pioneers were shunned and ignored, there can no longer be any excuse for not putting an end to the barbaric practise of cataract surgery without further delay, and replacing it with safe, effective and humane ways which do not degrade the miracle of human sight, but fully respect it.
And one of those ways is N-acetylcysteine amide (NACA). If the ophthalmology profession has not started human trials on NACA eyedrops for cataract by the time this post appears on the Internet, they should have. Tweet
