interested to try this.

Chris, if you think the MSM drops will work what percentage solution
would you recommend and would you add anything else to the solution? I
can see quite well out of the right eye but I can only see about half
the distance that I can see out of my left eye.
Jim, use 15% solution in contact lens saline solution every hour or so
and make sure you don't contaminate it also make small quantities to
keep fresh. *This was used on injured rabbit eyes which developed
cataract - am not sure how well it will work on humans.* Also you could
supplement with Occudyine follow instructions on bottle.

Dick,
I have used 15% myself and it seems OK, The saline solution would be a
little more soothing but I did not find distill water solution harsh on
my eyes. However, the following is extracted form Earl Mindell's Booklet
"THE MSM MIRACLE" page 43 reproduced below. A good source of info on MSM
is at:

"THE EYES
Think of your eyeball as a balloon full of water, but instead of being
rubber, it is a protein membrane. Optical tissue normally allows fluids
to flow through the membrane wall which acts like a filter, cleaning out
harmful particles, keeping your eyes clear and your vision good as it
allows nutrients to permeate. But should the membranes become tough like
leather, the fluids are trapped and particles begin to accumulate. If
this buildup continues, your vision will seem as if you're looking
through frosted glass, a condition known as cataracts.
When eyedrops containing the proper amount of MSM are applied, the
membrane becomes permeable, and this has reversed the problem. It is
also important that the eye remain flexible so that the muscles can
alter its contour and focus as needed. In the event that its membranes
and muscles become rigid and tough, the eye will not be able to focus
properly, resulting in blurred vision. The MSM in eyedrops soothes and
softens the membranes, permitting fluids to pass through the optical
tissues to stabilize the pressure, repair any damage, clear up red spots
and bloodshot vessels, and remove floaters and other particles in the eye.
In one case, a 15 percent solution of MSM in isotonic saline was a
soothing treatment for the eye following accidental injury due to
particulate matter in the eye. *In a test with an irritated eye of a
rabbit, the eye cleared when treated every hour with a 10 percent
aqueous solution of MSM.* Be assured, the concentration in the MSM eye
drops you get will be sufficient. Follow the instructions on the label.
As noted earlier, *the B vitamins in general and the sulfur-related
amino acids and compounds are vital to maintaining healthy eyes.
Specifically, we've learned that glucosamine is the starting material
for the eyes, that glutathione promotes good eye health and low levels
accompany almost every type of eye disease.* We also know that people
suffering from the eye disease retinitis pigmentosa show reduced levels
of taurine within the eye."
Hi Chris,
Typical MSM eye drops are around 1% from what I hear. Is 15% safe?

>Here is how to make the cataract solution form MSM. Just remember to use
the pure powder. *You can make the 15% solution by mixing 1.5 grams of MSM
in 10 ml of water (two teaspoons). Its best to make small batches for
freshness. Use 2 to 4 times daily*.<

Thanks. Maybe we could make the solution in 5ppm colloidal silver as a
preservative.
Dick
Great idea! Another would be to buy saline solution for contact lenses (
this has preservative already in it) and mix the MSM in it. For those
who do not have access to colloidal silver. Also not sure if MSM will
react with silver... Think it would be best to go the inert route first
than check out the CS idea.
Chris
Hello,
Just a note to say as a 6-month subscriber to the CS maillist, MSM mixed
with CS works just fine, in fact is recommended for use in an inhaler
for those with respiratory ailments. The ppm of CS doesn't matter much,
since it's difficult to control when making it yourself. Most folks make
in the 5-15ppm range.
