Keratoconus is an eye disease where the cornea(the front clear window to the eye) progressively thins and becomes distorted, often bulging outward in the shape of a cone. This warped appearance to the surface of the eye often results in high levels of irregular astigmatism which can cause high levels of blurred vision, glare and visual distortions.

Anyone who is diagnosed with keratoconus and shows signs of progression should consider having a procedure called corneal collagen cross linking; A new keratoconus surgery that has been FDA approved for to help treat keratoconus and slow or hopefully halt the progression of the disease.

People with keratoconus often have the best eyesight with the use of specialty contact lenses. These may include both hard and soft contact lenses but many eye doctors prefer the use of scleral contact lenses for keratoconus.

PRO TIP
The development and progression of keratoconus is more common in people who rub their eyes frequently. To learn more about this see my YouTube Short on eye rubbing: https://youtu.be/Fvsx27YTwgs

Could something as simple as vitamin E help reverse a fatty liver? Here’s what you need to know.

Healthy Ketogenic Diet and Intermittent Fasting:

DATA: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4984672/

Timestamps:
0:00 Vitamin E for a fatty liver
0:07 NASH
0:50 Vitamin E
2:25 What does vitamin E do for the liver?
2:47 Diet and the liver

Today we’re going to talk about why you might want to take vitamin E for a fatty liver.

There is a condition called NASH (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis), which is basically a fatty liver that has some inflammation. There have been many studies on using vitamin E for NASH.

Vitamin E has demonstrated significant improvement in:
1. Steatosis (the fatty liver portion)
2. Inflammation
3. Ballooning of the liver cells (degeneration)

Essentially, vitamin E may have the power to reduce the fat, inflammation, and the death of the liver cells in adult patients with NASH that don’t have diabetes or cirrhosis.

In one study, they used a natural version of only one part of the vitamin E complex. However, it may be beneficial to have the whole complex. They also used 800 IUs of this one part. Other studies have used up to 1000 IUs, while others only used 400 IUs. Between 800 and 1000 IUs may be the best idea.

Vitamin E may help stop the transition of going from having a fatty liver to an inflamed liver. It’s a very powerful antioxidant that may help calm free radicle damage, prevent inflammation, and prevent fibrosis.

Taking vitamin E alone may not change anything very much. But, changing the diet as well may make a more significant difference. The healthy keto diet with intermittent fasting may be the best way to go. Adding vitamin C in a food complex with choline may also be beneficial.
