Doctors/Specialists only know what they've been trained to do. Pharmaceuticals and surgeries. If I had listened to the Endocrinologist 10 years ago; I'd already have 10 years worth of Synthroid under my belt. You'll have to do what's right for you.

Hello Mr Kirsch,

I replied to your email, informing you of a German compounding pharmacy which produces those eye drops. They are working with an eye doctor who uses them and I took the liberty of contacting him and inquiring about the use of those drops with your condition.

Please check your emails and contact me, if this interests you.

This is an old study from 2005 but it finds Ginkgo biloba extract has similar efficacy to streptokinase.

from DMSO - The Persecuted Drug.

"The drug companies who had been doing clinical trials were reexamining patients and gathering data regarding possible eye damage. Squibb collected 3,000 cases, Merck 17,000 cases, and Syntex 7,000. No eye changes or damage or any other sign of toxicity were found. By this time, DMSO had been used in 100,000 people, and there had been no complaints of eye problems anywhere. Additionally, sufficient animal tests had been carried out to make it clear that the lens changes that had been observed were "species specific", i.e., they only occurred in dogs, rabbits, and pigs, and not in monkeys, other primates, or any other animals."

"The FDA used the bogus issue of eye damage for several decades to hold back DMSO. Dr. Walker points out that "adverse eye findings have been reported with all the arthritis drugs, such as Anaprox, Naprosyn, and Motrin (as per their package inserts) yet no one has suggested that these minimally effective drugs be taken off the market.""

Unfortunately, Dr. Stanley Jacob passed away in 2015. However, with your resources why not contact his co-author of Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease, Dr. de la Torre adjunct professor of psychology at The University of Texas in Austin. Better yet, how about interview him so the world can benefit. Wishing you all the best.

Your comment is cut off. Do you see this ? It happened to me yesterday. Do you see it ? Or is it just from my end ?

Maybe something else is going on because I just posted three new comments on this substack in the last 15 minutes trying to link to another Substack I thought might be of help and a fourth one mentioning that they are disappearing, and they all just disappeared immediately or within a minute of posting. However I see my previous earlier comments from a few days ago and my reply to you from about 48 minutes ago remain.

DMSO is toxic to the retina if it is injected into the eyeball, no problem with topical use.
