Curing cataract without the need for surgery
Cataract is an age-related visual prob-
lem that is caused by excessive free
radical damage. Unfortunately free rad-
icals are toxic by-products of everyday
metabolism. As we age the production
of these free radicals increases, and
at the same time the body’s defences
against them becomes less effec-
tive. As a result, free radicals destroy
proteins, enzymes and DNA causing
chronic damage to your tissues.
This process is called oxidation, but
there is another important process
implicated in the formation of cata-
ract, called glycation. This is a process
whereby sugar and similar molecules
attack your proteins and DNA, causing
abnormal chemical bonds between
individual molecules. Free radicals
then make matters worse by facilitat-
ing this destruction of your tissues. In
the end, there is an increased amount
of abnormal, twisted and deformed
proteins in your body, worsening the
risk of developing age-related chronic
conditions.
In the case of the eye, these deformed
proteins can cause visual impairment
through cataract, (and indeed also
through macular degeneration or glau-
coma).
What is cataract?
Cataract is a common age-related
condition that affects 1 in 4 people
over the age of 65. It is caused when
the proteins inside the lens of the eye
(called crystallins) become damaged.
Glycation is the main culprit here, it
causes the crystallins to bind to each
other and become misshapen, forming
opaque plaques in the lens of the eye.
As a result, light cannot pass properly
through the lens and so vision is im-
paired. The word cataract is Greek and
means waterfall, thus a severe cataract
may look like trying to peer through a
waterfall.
In summary, cataract develops on
a background of both oxidation and
glycation. It is logical to assume that in
order to prevent, or even reverse this
Newsletter No.1 Autumn 2007
damage, it is necessary to use a com-
bination of chemicals which work both
against oxidation and glycation.
The remarkable natural molecule
called N-acetylcarnosine
The most recent development in the
prevention of age-related eye diseases
is the nutrient N-acetyl-carnosine
(NAC). This natural chemical is closely
related to the natural dipeptide (mean-
ing two aminoacids linked together)
carnosine. Carnosine has been inves-
tigated extensively and there are over
1000 scientific reports discussing its
biological actions and safety.
NAC works by preventing free radi-
cal damage and reducing the risk of
glycation, but NAC is particularly useful
within the eye because it remains bio-
logically active for longer. Once inside
the eye tissues NAC transforms into
pure carnosine and prevents free radi-
cals from further destroying eye tissues
such as the crystallins. It also reverses
glycation, in other words, it may be use-
ful in curing already existing cataracts.
Indeed, clinical trials conducted in Rus-
sia have highlighted the fact that NAC
eye-drops such as Can-C™ when used
regularly over a period of 3-5 months
can halt and even reverse cataract!
As such these eye-drops are a very
important discovery- because it shows
that cataract may be cured without the
need to resort to an operation.
Anti-glycators to the rescue
Apart from carnosine, other good anti-
glycators are the agents pyridoxamine
and aminoguanidine. Both work to
reduce the risk of glycation of proteins
within the lens of the eye and thus pre-
vent the harm caused to the proteins of
the lens. By helping to improve micro-
circulation of the blood in the eye these
can be useful both in macular degen-
eration and glaucoma.
The by-products of glycation (called
AGEs) are frequently found in several
parts of the eye. Thus, antiglycators
such as carnosine, pyridoxamine and
aminoguanidine can fool nature by
reducing AGEs before these have the
chance to combine with the receptors
and affect the eye.
It may not be enough to only use one
remedy in order to prevent or even
reverse chronic eye conditions. Using
additional supplements will ensure
that you are getting the extra insurance
necessary to keep free radical action
at low levels and reduce the risk of fur-
ther harm to the eyes. The following are
some relevant nutritional factors that
may also have a role to play in improv-
ing vision.
Ginkgo Biloba
Ginkgo is used in order to improve
memory and blood circulation prob-
lems. It is also a very good antioxidant.
However, many people buy the ‘raw
leaf’ preparation of ginkgo which may
not contain a standard amount of the
active ingredients. It is best to use a
standardised extract.
Ginkgo can protect against cataract by
reducing the injury caused by oxidation
on the lens of the eye. It turns out that
ginkgo increases antioxidant enzymes
which makes it less likely that free radi-
cals caused by radiation, (such as UV
for example) can damage the lens.
BLS Newsletter 1 : Page 1
Grape Seed
It is well known that both grapes and
their seeds contain antioxidants such
as flavonoids. These are strong natural
chemicals with antioxidant power up to
20 times more than vitamin E and 50
times more than vitamin C. Flavonoids
from grape seeds help to protect the
eyes from UV radiation and to improve
overall vision.
Vinpocetine
Although vinpocetine is a well known
brain booster, it has also a role to play
in preventing chronic eye conditions,
particularly if used in combinations
with other supplements.
Nutritional supplements such as
vinpocetine improve blood circulation.
Scientists have found that vinpocetine
can improve optic nerve atrophy
caused by head injury and improve the
sensitivity of the retina and protect the
optic nerve, (which transmits visual
signals from the eye to the brain). Also,
it improves blood flow within the arter-
ies of the eye- which means that more
nutrients could reach vital eye tissues.
Lutein and zeaxanthin
The two best known supplements for
eye protection are the carotenoids
lutein and zeaxanthin. There is quite
a lot of scientific evidence confirming
that consumption of these two chemi-
cals reduces the risk of age-related
cataract. Lutein and zeaxanthin are
the only two carotenoids present in
the lens, and their role is to protect the
lens against free radicals caused by UV
radiation from the sun.
Others
Apart from vitamins and nutrients, it is
also necessary to protect your eyes in
other ways. For example, avoid strong
sunlight which facilitates free radical
reactions within the eye. Instead, wear
good quality sunglasses, particularly
if you live in a place where sunshine
is strong. Wearing a hat is also a good
idea, as it cuts down some of the harm-
ful UV radiation reaching your eyes.
Frequent eye tests will pick up any early
signs of eye disease and will give you
the chance of starting or modifying
your prevention nutritional programme.
If you have diabetes, are a smoker or
have a family history of chronic eye dis-
ease, then prevention therapy becomes
even more important.

The Antiageing Island
We all know the Brit-
ish radio show where
guests are told they
are going to be stuck
on a remote island and
they can only bring a
few things along with
them. Then they have
to explain why they chose those things.
Here we will play the same game a little
differently! We will ask leading antiage-
ing professionals what few things they
would bring to their island to help them
fight against the ravages of ageing! (By
the way, the island gets plenty of sun-
shine, has numerous exercise possibili-
ties and is full of fresh organic produce,
fish & game and pure water!)
Today it’s Walter Pierpaoli, M.D.
• Born Milan in 1934
• Graduated in medicine and holds a
PhD in immunology.
• He has his own research laboratory
and Institute for Integrative Biomedi-
cal Research as well as the founda-
tion for basic biomedical research in
Zurich.
• Is the Director of the Jean Choay
institute for neuroimmunomodula-
tion in Riva San Vitale
• He is author of over 130 publications
on referenced scientific journals and
the organizer of the Stromboli Con-
ferences on Aging and Cancer.
• Plus he has also published popu-
lar books including the; “Melatonin
Miracle” which has been translated
into 15 languages and a New York
Times bestseller.
BLS: Dear Walter, what is it you are
bringing to your island?
WP: That’s an easy answer for me- it’s
melatonin of course!
BLS: Please explain why that is an
easy choice for you?
WP: Quite simply because it is the most
universal molecule we’ve ever come
across. In essence it’s a molecule that
protects us from ageing.
BLS: So where does it come from?
WP: It is produced in the pineal gland
in the brain; it is also produced in some
other parts of the body; however I do
not consider it to be a hormone per
se. It is a special molecule that existed
before life began and has been put to a
unique role.
BLS: What do you consider its primary
function to be?
WP: To protect the pineal from ageing
and to allow the pineal to manufacture
other chemicals that rebalance the
entire hormone system, thus bringing
order to the circadian cycle, the day-
night cyclicity that governs our age-
ing. An easy way to think of this is to
imagine the pineal as the conductor of
an orchestra (the hormones). Without a
conductor the orchestra makes noise,
with a conductor it makes music.
BLS: I know you have performed lot
of animal and human research with
melatonin, what sort of outcomes
have you seen?
WP: Once the sleep cycles and the
endocrine system come back into
harmony there are many miraculous
benefits. Our patients have conquered
“Melatonin protects
us from ageing”
their cancers, Alzheimer’s, cardiovascu-
lar disease, depression and of course
their ageing. Also I want to mention
that a recent trial has highlighted that
melatonin can halt and even reverse
age related macular degeneration-
which is the leading cause of vision
disorders in the elderly.
BLS: How can you be so sure that
ageing is reversed too?
WP: We conducted an experiment with
mice, taking the old pineal gland out
of an old mouse and putting it into a
young mouse, at the same time we
took out the young pineal from the
young mouse and placed it into the old
mouse. The young mouse aged quickly
and the old mouse became young!
We have published this information in
medical journals and presented it as
numerous conferences.
BLS: It’s a wonder why this hasn’t
become widely known?

WP: There are many forces and dog-
mas against preventative medicine,
especially in old Europe which seems
to be set against the widespread use
of melatonin, unlike the USA and some
other countries where it can be pur-
chased freely.
BLS: What about safety with melato-
nin?
WP: It is very safe indeed, the regular
dose is 3 mg before bedtime, yet one
study gave women 300 mg for a year,
100 times the normal dose and yet no
significant side effects or contradic-
tions were recorded.
BLS: You mentioned earlier that the
wake/ sleep cycle governs our age-
ing, does this mean that you believe
in a pre-programmed limit to life?
WP: In a way the answer is yes, but the
point is that melatonin resets the clock,
literally turning back the hands of time.
It gives us more time and perhaps
more importantly it gives us better
health with that time.
BLS: Do you think that you will be
able to describe this concept in a
future book?
WP: I hope to publish this as the rota-
tion theory of ageing.
BLS: We wish you more power to your
elbow Walter and good luck with
everything you are doing.
WP: Thank you and I hope that the fine
message you are trying to cry out in
the UK with the BLS- that there are real
proven alternative health treatments, is
a great success too.

Diesel fumes in-
crease the risk of
heart disease
Recently scientists
have discovered that
diesel contaminants
breathed in from the air react with
fats in the body to switch on genes
that cause inflammation to blood
vessels.
The study was published in the
journal Genome Biology and its lead
researcher Dr André Nel commented;
“Their combination [diesel and LDL
cholesterol] creates a dangerous
synergy that wreaks cardiovascular
havoc.”
Dr Nel went on to state; “Exactly how
air pollutants cause cardiovascular
injury is poorly understood, but we do
know that these particles are coated
with chemicals that damage tissue
and cause inflammation of the nose
and lungs. Vascular inflammation in
turn leads to cholesterol deposits and
clogged arteries, which can give rise
to blood clots that trigger heart attack
or stroke.”
The advice of the British Heart Foun-
dation was that anyone with chronic
lung disease or coronary heart
disease should avoid staying outside
for long periods when pollution levels
are high.
The BLS thinks that this is yet another
indicator of how “everyday” pollutants
are contributing to accelerating age-
ing and exacerbating various diseas-
es. The obvious solutions apart from
“cleaning up our act as a society”
(which let’s be honest is going to take
a very long time), is to also seek out
regular (probably life long) detox and
chelation therapies to ensure that
we have the lowest possible levels of
toxins inside of us. We hope to report
more on these types of therapies in
future issues, please stay informed by
subscribing to the BLS today.
A new drug
is a novel aid
to help stop
smoking
Frankly we
believe at the
BLS that it should be obvious to its
members not to abuse their bodies
with things such as excessive alco-
hol, narcotics and smoking etc., but
once in a while we believe it’s worth
discussing items that may help “kick
the habit” to help those who want to
quit- but are having difficulty.
Varenicline (trade name Champix) is
the first non-nicotine drug developed
specifically to help smokers give up
for good. Now that the smoking ban
in public places is law across the Unit-
ed Kingdom it has
become apparent to
many smokers that
apart from damaging
their own health and
the health of others,
being a social outcast
is yet another good reason to stop!
The new Pfizer drug Varenicline is
unusual in that it both stimulates and
blocks specific nicotinic receptors in
the brain. Through this mechanism it
is believed that the stimulation to the
receptors mimics nicotine to reduce
cravings, plus the partial blocking
produces a weaker response for the
will to smoke.
The clinical trials indicated that after
a 12-week course of Varenicline 44%
of smokers quit. These are impressive
figures especially when compared to
those on placebo (18% quit) or 30%
quitting on another anti-smoking
drug- Bupropion.
A spokesperson for NICE said: “Hav-
ing looked at all the evidence, our in-
dependent committee has concluded
that Varenicline appears to be a good
way to help people who want to quit
smoking.”

challenge to the body; it improves

Long in the Tooth
By Brian Halvorsen, BDS
The most common
disease in the world is
gum disease (periodon-
titis) and is the principle
cause of tooth loss in
the 40 years and above
age group.
Historically, Stone Age humans were
only afflicted with dental disease when
they started cooking their food. So
as we have become more ‘civilised’,
especially in a dietary sense, our dental
health has deteriorated. Without pre-
ventative measures such as visiting the
dentist/ hygienist, tooth brushing etc,
and dietary/ supplemental modifica-
tions the majority of us will suffer from
age related gum disease.
The good news is that gum disease
and subsequent tooth loss is entirely
preventable. As we, on average, are
expected to live longer, dental health is
“Without preventa-
tive measures...the
majority of us will
suffer from age
related gum
disease”
increasing becoming an important fac-
tor in our general health and wellbeing.
Periodontal (gum) disease has been
linked to circulatory and heart disease,
diabetes, certain cancers, autoimmune
diseases and liver disorders. Holisti-
cally, it’s a ‘chicken and egg’ situation.
Is the gum disease an indication of a
body dysfunction, or are the bacteria,
inflammatory products and toxins pro-
duced by the gum disease the source
of the body disorders?
Poor nutrition, smoking and excessive
alcohol consumption are predisposing
factors to accelerate the progress of
gum disease. Periodontists (experts
in the treatment of gum disease) will
often refuse to treat patients who
continue to smoke because the treat-
ment outcomes are seriously compro-
mised. People who smoke are at least
10 times more likely to develop mouth
cancer and if they smoke and consume
large amounts of alcohol, are 30 times
at risk!
Until the advanced stages, gum dis-
ease is rarely painful. Any bleeding of
the gums indicates gingivitis. Red and
swollen gums are more serious and
the attentions of a dentist are urgently
required. As a dentist I am often asked
if there is a genetic link to gum dis-
ease, as my patients’ parents had lost
their teeth to gum infections, often at a
young age. Although genetics is a fac-
tor, anyone should be able to keep their
teeth for life!
So what is the solution?
1. Find a preventative dentist, prefer
ably with a hygienist/ dental health
educator and attend regularly.
2. Home care– Use the advice from
above. We all have differing oral
hygiene requirements.
3. Boost your resistance to disease by
reducing your life stresses. Improve
your nutrition, emotional, environ
mental and physical aspects of your
lifestyle.
4. Both vitamin C and coenzyme Q10
(CoQ10) have been shown to have
specific health benefits for maintain
ing healthy gums.
Remember, there is no secret to having
healthy teeth and gums, or for that
matter a healthy mouth and a healthy
body.

Is type-III diabe-
tes the trigger
for Alzheimer’s
disease?
Type-I diabetes is a
condition whereby
diabetics have to inject insulin;
type-II diabetes is a condition
whereby the patient uses an insu-
lin stimulant such as a metformin
pill.
Now scientists say they have found
a new form of diabetes. They have
discovered that insulin is produced
not only by the pancreas, but also
by the brain. This new form has
been dubbed type iii.
Although it is not thought to affect
blood sugar, type-III does affect
brain insulin levels and appears to
be linked with Alzheimer’s disease.
It has been known for some time
that people with diabetes have
a 65% increased risk of develop-
ing Alzheimer’s disease and that
diabetics have protein deposits
in their pancreas that are similar
to the protein deposits found in
the brain tissue of people with
Alzheimer’s disease.
In fact poorly controlled diabetes is
correlated with poorly functioning
memory and reduced brain activity
and now studies are highlighting
that insulin and its related growth
factors are vital for the survival
of brain cells. For if these factors
are not produced at normal levels,
the cells die and in the case of
Alzheimer’s, the cells that die are
located in the part of the brain
involved with memory- the hippo-
campus.
In a future issue of the BLS news-
letter we shall also be reporting
on the role of excitotoxins and
how they may also be a trigger
for Alzheimer’s. Excitotoxins and
diabetes are both related through
nutrition and thus, other than tox-
ins (particularly the accumulation
of mercury), Alzheimer’s may be
caused by long-term poor diet!
