CRVO-Central Retinal Vein Occlusion

(Richard M) #1

I have CRVO. I’m in my first month. Had my first injection 3 weeks ago. I need to do one per month for 4 months.Then hopefully one every 3 months. I am not diabetic and in the last month my Blood Pressure as been around 140/90. Trying to bring it down naturally with supplements and drinks. Everything I’ve researched has made me fill less optimistic that I will totally get it cured. Making a very conscious effort to have no carbs and to fast 16-24 hours or longer. The only article I read that had light at the end of the tunnel was someone started to run more. my one knee is very bad so I bounce.

Anyone have experience or knowledge into this “issue”? TY

Hi Richard. That blood pressure is indicative that you have some CVD going on. If it makes you feel better, I was right there. I decided to figure it out without prescriptions. I first began adding vitamin K2 daily. Then in the winter I started on 10,000 IUs of vitamin D. My blood pressure started to improve. Next I started a high protein keto diet. That was 5 years ago. The only carbs I ate were cruciferous vegetables and berries in my morning yogurt. This improved my blood pressure greatly, and my vein health also visibly improved. I eventually got my blood pressure down to 98/64 2 years ago. I am now usually in the 110s/70s, although sometimes lower when doing my version of keto. I believe I reversed plaque, and a carotid sonogram last October found no plaque. It can be done. Just stick to it. Remove all sugar from your home. I now have very little processed foods or “sweets.” I do have some sweet foods - sweetened by xylitol, monk fruit, stevia or the occassional allulose.

As far as supplements try adding citrulline to your daily routine - at least a gram. I also use SOD now.

I forgot to suggest nattokinase - assuming the “occlusion” is a blood clot or fibrolytic clot high dose nattokinase may help. To prevent further oxidation in the vascular system unsweetened pomegranate juice can help.
