Cataract from a Holistic Perspective

It is because of our precious sight that we can carry out our day-to-day tasks efficiently and enjoy nature's boundless beauty. The impairment of vision produces an overall handicapped feeling and a sense of uncertainty. Cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye, which affects your vision. Most cataracts are a result of aging and are a common occurrence in older people. A cataract can occur in one or both the eyes. However, cannot spread from one eye to the other.

The peer-reviewed published research quoted on this page represents some of the studies done on natural remedies for cataract. More such studies can be found on pubmed or google scholar. Our Doctors participate in or evaluate research from all traditions before formulating our precedent-setting kits. However, the laws on natural medicine vary, from country to country, and we, therefore, make no claims beyond those made by the FDA in your country who is the only authority that can legally make a claim to cure, treat, or mitigate a disease. You are welcome to discuss this research with your doctors. If they truly care about your health they too will take the time to study it with an open mind. You may then take our all natural products for Eye Support. Biogetica supports you in your right to know and chose and we vow to be with you every step of the way. No one will be turned away from receiving our natural remedies even if they cannot pay.

Once a cataract is formed, there is no non-surgical treatment available. If symptoms from a cataract are mild, prescription glasses may be sufficient to function more comfortably.

Preventive measures include wearing good ultraviolet (UV) blocking sunglasses, as they provide protection from the sun. Anti-oxidant vitamins may retard cataract changes.

Surgical treatment involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a substitute lens. This can be done in 2 ways:

• Phacoemulsification: In this technique the doctor makes a small incision on the side of the cornea, (dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye). The doctor then inserts a tiny probe into the eye. This device emits ultrasound waves that soften and break up the cloudy center of the lens. Today, most cataract surgery is done by this method with local anesthesia.
• Extra Capsular Surgery: A longer incision on the side of the cornea is made to remove the hard center of the lens. The remainder of the lens is then removed by suction and replaced by an intraocular lens (IOL). An IOL is a clear, artificial lens that requires minimal care and becomes like a permanent part of the eye and improves vision. The operation usually lasts about 1 hour, and is almost painless.

Biogetica’s mission is to provide you with integrated natural solutions that target root issues across the physical, energetic and informational spectrum of your life. Our Doctors research all possible ingredients and combine them synergistically into kits to potentially lead you back to health and freedom.

Biogetica's approach to healing is based on the following aspects:
1. Heal the Entire Being
2. Look for Natural Solutions
3. Appeal to the Balancing Forces Inherent in all Nature
4. From Medication to Meditation

1. Heal the Entire Being:
Biogetica has a unique and comprehensive Holographic model of healing which synthesizes all the traditional natural health systems to simultaneously ease physical, mental, emotional layers of your being.

You, as a living, thinking, feeling, vibrating being, are much more than a collection of inter-related chemical processes. You are life itself. Life can never be reduced to a series of chemical reactions as chemical reactions cannot create life. Every thought, emotion, vibration or action leads to a series of chemical changes in the body. Biogetica recognizes this and balances the ENTIRE BEING, bringing mind, body, and soul into harmony. Treating an ailment on a molecular level alone, seldom has a lasting effect as the untreated social, emotional, mental, spiritual and energetic patterns cause the ailment to manifest once again on a physical plane. Holistic healing is necessary for lasting relief. Biogetica, therefore, uses Resonance Homeopathic to harmonize the entire being; flower essences to attune the mind; Ayurvedic, Tibetan, and Chinese herbs to balance the energetic and the physiological manifestation of the five elements; and nutraceuticals to coordinate cellular nutrition.

2. Look for Natural Solutions:
Our bodies are made of and supported by nature and therefore can only be healed by nature in the long term. Chemicals are often necessary for immediate change in an acute situation but tend to do the body more harm than good in the long run. Hence, Biogetica's Doctors are dedicated to providing natural solutions that are supported by evidence and prior use. To us, the argument is fairly obvious: One would use wood to fix a desk made of wood or metal to fix a car made of metal, so why use chemicals to fix a body made of nature?

Nature has blessed the Earth with natural remedies and healing mechanisms. It would be wise not to ignore them. The intelligence of nature is much greater than that of man. Unfortunately, man still focuses on chemical medicines, as they can be patented and sold for huge profits. Allopathic attempts to treat chronic ailments by interfering directly with the chemical processes using man-made substances have essentially been a failure. We claim to be cracking the gene code, but we still can't cure a cold with man-made substances!!! Homeopathic and Naturopathic methods are never studied and verified by governing bodies, as there is no one who will spend millions obtaining an approval on herbs, knowing that they cannot be patented and sold exclusively by them.

3. Appeal to the Balancing Forces Inherent in all Nature:
Life cannot be recreated with chemical interactions and there is much more to life than molecular interactions. Our bodies are the most advanced pharmacies on the planet and millions of functions happen each minute with astounding precision. Biogetica therapies are designed to appeal to the balancing forces apparent in all nature by reminding and stimulating the body towards a certain function. The nutraceuticals in our kits provide specific nutrition for a function, the herbs in our kits balance the terrain of the body so that it is able to perform that function and the resonance homeopathies are designed to remind the body to be in resonance with that very function.

4. From Medication to Meditation:
Good health and freedom involve every aspect of our being including diet, lifestyle, exercise, emotional states, thoughts and energetic patterns. Biogetica Drs have therefore designed diet, nutrition, exercise, and meditation protocols specific to various life situations. We encourage you to actively partake in these for best results.

Although the exact cause of cataract is unknown, experts believe oxidative stress leads to destruction of certain enzymes and proteins in the lens of your eye, causing the lens to become cloudy and opaque. Research studies have indicated that the risk for developing cataract and its progression reduces by consumption of Vitamins and anti-oxidants.

Cataract is basically a degenerative change of the lens and so it is essential to improve tissue oxygenation and micro-vascular blood circulation. Antioxidants are believed to prevent oxidative damage caused by free radicals. Antioxidants not only help slow down the progression of cataract, but they are also work as anti-ageing foods.

Recommended Foods:

- Food such as Spinach, turnips, broccoli, peas, onions, garlic, ginger, celery, beans, seaweed, carrots, tomatoes, apples, and oranges are rich sources of antioxidants and are some of the foods that can help prevent cataract.
- Vitamins A, C, E and Beta carotene are also very important for cataract. Always incorporate foods that are rich in these vitamins.
- Food rich in Vitamin A and Beta carotene are carrots, moringa leaves/pods, squash, eggs and green leafy vegetables.
- Food rich in Vitamin E are nuts, green leafy vegetables, nuts, vegetable oils, sweet potatoes, avocados, wheat germ, and whole grains.
- Food rich in Vitamin C are apples, strawberries, emblica fruit (Amla), cranberries, kiwi, grapefruit, and orange.
