Eye Vitamins And Immune System

[jds holler]

and help prevent macular degeneration.

I was just about to reorder the eye vitamin supplement that the eye doc suggested to prevent the macular degeneration that my dad has. (and all of us shooters should fear)

Looking at the stats on the bottle, and BINGO!! The primary ingredient is zinc @ 40 mg.

It is becoming more widely accepted that zinc may boost our immune systems, and even help fight the covid specially with the addition of that horribly politicized drug which I don't care to spell.

I don't have any of that drug - yet, but I thought some of ya might want to know that the eye supplement that we all ought to be taking at least contains the zinc half of the equation. jd

What eye vitamin?

Look fellas, the trick is getting the zinc into the inside of the cells, into the cytoplasm. In the blood, zinc is a ++ ion which makes it very hard to get into the cell. What is needed to do this is something to help it get there, the word for this is ionopher. Hydroxychloroquine is an ionopher, but we cannot get that OTC, so I went looking for something that we can buy that is and found quercetin, a common supplement. Some time after I figured that out, I have seen several good sources that indicate that it does exactly what I thought that it would. Here is an interview that Dr Drew did with the doctor that has successfully treated so many with the hydroxy, zinc, and zpac treatment.
About five minutes through the eighth minutes should be watched at a minimum.

Here is another video that is a discussion of what a doctor that treats covid patients takes every day.

What eye vitamin?

The eye vitamin I've got is Ocuvite, by Bauch and Lomb.

Since I'm in Oregon, where our dip-wad communist governor has decided that we shouldn't have hydroxi, I'm gonna look for the supplement that Boyd mentioned.

Boyd and I have discussed this at some length. The reason this is potentially very important is that COVID-19 virus entities cannot reproduce by themselves. They are not capable of reproduction outside a human cell (or other host animal cell).

COVID-19 Reproduces by attaching viral protein spikes to the ACE2 receptors on human cells. The virus then uses the human cell to replicate.

In vitro studies have shown that the introduction of zinc into human cells prevents the process by which COVID-19 virus cells hijack the human cells’ RNA and thereby reproduce INSIDE human cells.

Very few of our political leaders (governors in particular) understand this basic science. And frankly many high-level Health Agency people are not aware of how COVID 19 actually replicates in the human body.

Zinc-Carnosine from Nutri-Dyn is what I use.

Been on Zinc for 6 months..don't really know if it helps..but Healthy

My Eye doctor put me on ARED 2 to control my Mancular Degeneration 1 in the morning and 1 at night. My mother went blind with it but that was about 40 years ago.

Couple years ago when I was still driving a commuter bus once a week I started taking zinc gluconate as a daily supplement. Haven’t had a cold or flu since but whether that’s because of the zinc I can’t be certain.

Early this year local sources for zinc gluconate kinda dried up but when looking on-line I ran across ads for zinc picolinate, which I switched to about six weeks ago.

Tested (-) for C-19 three weeks back, haven’t been in close proximity to a known carrier either.

Stay safe everyone, but don’t let the rampant hysteria make your life any worse than it’s already managed to do so far.

Having some eye problems now, ever since I got new glasses.
First I thought bad prescription or not ground right so I had them make new lenses, now I still have blurred vision eyes always full of junk and always feel puffed out. Now they say dry eye. I am about to change eye Drs. this has been going on for a year and of course there is no way she made a mistake when doing exam or figuring out the prescription, some times I see better with the old ones.
I have another appt. in a few weeks and I'll go from there.

Very interesting topic . I have wet macular degeneration , I need to dig into this , Thanks for posting . Looks like win/win .

 

[Daddymac]

Wife is a two time breast cancer survivor, she is really into immune system health now, she is a firm believer in zinc, but also mushroom extracts, especially one called turkey tail.

One thing I have to repeat -- going on what Boyd explained -- it is hard to get zinc into the cells where it can block the Covid-19 replication. That is the role of the ionophore.

Regular oral zinc lozenges won't have the desired effect. You really want to use the zinc with some known ionophore.

This information is explained on the MedCram videos. I wish some of our decision-makers would watch them.

Excellent video above.

QUERCETIN -- may just be the silver bullet that even we Oregonians can get our hands on.

If this therapy proves to be even marginally effective, our governor should go to prison. jd

That B&L Ocuvite is a total high buck rip off. It has nothing in it but a few vitamins and minerals that you can buy over the counter for cheap money. It doesn't even have Lutein in it which any half way decent eye vitamin would have. Check out Life Extension's Macuguard. It has the same ingredients as Ocuvite plus Lutein, Saffron and Astaxanthin. The last two times that I went to the eye doctor he said your eyesight has improved a little both times. He asked me if I was taking anything and I told him. He said that stuff sounds interesting.

What eye vitamin?

A common one is Lutein.

I get my zinc picolinate from Swanson's Vitamins. Been taking it for years and years. It can help with foot odor too. Years ago I wore the same sneaker shoes for a couple years with no odor. None of my shoes have foot odor. Course I use odor eater inserts too.

Never had any indication that zinc prevents a cold. As for the flu I can't remember the last time that I had it or even remembering ever having had it. I pray that it stays that way.

 

[Delfuego]

Were using this one at our house. The liquids are supposed to be better and absorb faster and easier.

 

[PatMiles]

I heard that taking Zinc also makes the amount of ejaculate higher also. Is that true?

Howsabout you do a long term test and report back to us. Might be enjoyable!

Hey Jim. This is the one I've been using. Costs me 15 bucks for 4 months worth. And it says it contains 2 mg of lutein. The eye doc just said to make sure the one ya get contains lutein. jd
