lowering vegf helps amd? several herbs lower vegf:

summary:

. several methods of cancer treatment

are anti-angiogenic: they work by

stopping new blood vessel growth.

. one thing that cancers and amd blindness

have in common, is excess production of vegf

(vascular endothelial growth factor)

that causes the rapid growth of blood vessels

that tend to be leaky and result in edema.

. for wet amd (age-related macular degeneration

with high vegf that results in leaks and edema)

the only anti-vegf treatments have been injections

that are very expensive and can be painful.

. several herb are known to lower vegf,

and I wondered if taking them orally

could lower vegf in the eye.

more orange yolk means less AMD blindness

more orange yolk means less AMD blindness:

summary:

. a yolk that is more orange (than yellow)

is likely to have more lutein and zeaxanthin

that reduces the risk of AMD blindness.

. organic eggs have rules about

the coloring additives added to chicken feed.

. if you are not certain about the quality

of the coloring in your egg,

you can supplement with zeaxanthin and lutein.

[eg, MacuGuard® Ocular Support with Saffron:

https://www.lifeextension.com/vitamins-supplements/item01992/macuguard-ocular-support-with-saffron

10 mg free lutein, 

4 mg meso-zeaxanthin & trans-zeaxanthin.]

. taking the supplement with yolk

might increase its bioavailability

because MacuGuard claims to use Phospholipids

in order to enhance lutein absorption,

and egg yolk contains Phospholipids.

suggestions for a globalized pandemic preparedness and response

suggestions for a globalized pandemic preparedness and response:

the intro from WHO:

the form to give your comment:

the question:

“What substantive elements do you think should be included

in a new international instrument

on pandemic preparedness and response?” 

my comment:

. one thing we should do to prepare

is teaching people about who survived the pandemic;

it was people with a diet that promotes

low inflammation, low cortisol, and low insulin,

for enhanced insulin sensitivity.

. and for elders it was high levels of vitamin D, vitamin A,

with vitamin K2 to prevent bone loss from vitamin D,

melatonin, and zinc.

. we don't want a global effort of 

forcing everyone to take risky vaccines,

when we could work to isolate the vulnerable,

while we rapidly build natural immunity,

and get the lock-downs over with sooner!
