N-Acetyl-Carnosine as an alternative to cataract surgery?

by Markie769, Apr 11, 2007 12:00AM

Tags: cataract, Cataract Surgery, Research, Work

I went to an eye physician for new glasses. He told me I needed cataract surgery. I am terrified. I searched the web for alternatives and found several ads and articles on N-Acetyl-Carnosine eye drops.

Has anyone had experience with(or knowledge about)the use of these eye drops? Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

It looks like a different NAC thread today was completely deleted (including my post). If this was an act of censorship, it disturbs me greatly.

It's not censorship its the rules of all the MedHelp.org that preclude "spam" and commercial products being shilled on this website. Also information that is dangerous or harmful will not be left posted.

I respect your rights to control the site in that way, but disagree with this application of the policies. I will no longer be monitoring the site and posting on a regular basis.
