Eye Floaters

Stacking all protocol elements (amino acids, ketogenic diet, fasting) can produce visible improvement within weeks rather than months. Prolonged fasting produces more significant floater clearance than intermittent fasting alone. A carnivore diet may be necessary for one to two months in severe cases where a standard low-carbohydrate diet is insufficient. Diabetics have a significantly higher incidence of eye floaters than non-diabetics, consistent with the sugar-glycation mechanism. A floater is a fragment of collagen fiber suspended inside the eye that casts a shadow onto the retina. Floaters appear as shapes drifting across the visual field when the eye moves. Approximately 90% of eye floaters result from the normal aging process. Eye floaters form through glycation, a chemical reaction in which protein and sugar combine to produce sticky, cross-linked protein structures lodged in the vitreous humor. Eye floaters are produced by glycation of vitreous collagen, not by random collagen debris. Autophagy breaks down the protein aggregates responsible for floaters by recycling damaged and non-functional proteins. Internal bleeding, inflammation, injury, infection, and high blood sug…
