Bilberry & Eyes

by Chet Day

My wife's been a diabetic for more than 30 years and

about ten years ago she developed diabetic retinopathy,

a common problem in long-term diabetics. She had laser

surgery to seal the leaking blood vessels.

Not wanting to go through that sort of thing again,

she started researching natural solutions to eye

problems. She liked what she read about bilberry

more than anything else, so she started taking

bilberry capsules every day, eating a plant-based

diet, and regular juicing. She cut out all refined

foods from her diet.

At her next check-up, the doctor said, "This is

unusual. The retinopathy is no longer progressing."

Than, at the next six-month check-up, the doctor

said, "I've never seen this. Your retinopathy is

reversing."

After two years, the retinopathy was totally gone,

and all she had was scar tissue from the laser

surgery.

I checked out bilberry at onhealth.com and learned:

"Possible mechanisms of action for its effects on

ophthalmic conditions include its ability to protect

against the breakdown of rhodopsin (retinal purple),

a light sensitive pigment located in the rods of the

retina, and its ability to regenerate rhodopsin. It

may also provide vasoprotection by decreasing

capillary fragility and permeability (Bone and

Morgan, 1997; Regtop, 1998)."

And, of course, the most important thing for eyes

and diabetics is to keep the blood sugar well-

regulated.
