Soya eases sore eyes

SOYA lecithin, an ingredient found in margarine, has been found to
cure and prevent dry eye syndrome.

This condition affects up to four million people in the UK and is
caused by ageing, contact lenses, central heating, air conditioning
and staring at computer screens. Eyes become dry and sore and if not
treated their surface layer could end up damaged.

Soya lecithin helps stop the eyes' moisture from evaporating. In a
clinical trial of 382 people, 89 per cent of sufferers reported an
improvement.

Hey, Tom....

Can you ... by any chance ... do any better than "Madeleine Bailey --
whoever she is -- says ....?"

Like ... IF it was "found to cure and prevent" (which it wasn't), can
we see some evidence of that?

If not ... then please allow me to introduce you to Otis Brown....

I don't believe it. Soya lecithin is a sludge left over from making
tofu. It is used as a thickener and texturizer for manufactured fake
foods.

I know one person who uses only margarine (and not butter) and she
suffers from the exact problem that you suggest is supposed to be
cleared by margarine.

I see, it isn't intended to fix the problem, just manage it, kinda,
sorta, possibly. Typical allopathic crap.

The 'treatment' .. using .. lecithin .. usually uses about three
tablespoons of lecithin per day.
How much margarine would one have to use to adhere to this ..
protocol .. ?

It is the **dose** that makes the difference ..

Much like any 'drug' .. you don't give ENOUGH to **treat** then the ..
protocol / treatment is not going to work.

The lecithin is SPECIFICALLY depleted by iron oxidation and this
lecithin MUST be replaced and this is accomplished by refilling ..
much like being low on oil in your car ..

When the oil light comes on .. putting a pint in isn't going to cut
it .. one has to put in at least a quart of oil to .. top UP .. the
lost / oxidized oil / lecithin.

New soya-based dry eye treatment launched
A spray treatment for dry eye conditions that uses soya lecithin to
mimic the eye’sown lipid layer has been launched in Ireland.
Clarymist, which is sprayed on toclosed rather than open eyes, was
developed to treat dry eye syndrome, which a 2000 study1 suggested
affects 10% of the population.
Soya lecithin acts as an analogue to the eye’s lipid layer, which
controls the rate of evaporation of tear fluid.The manufacturers say
that most dry eye cases are caused by a deficient or disrupted lipid
layer, which leads to abnormally fast evaporation of tears and
subsequent irritation.
Clarymist stabilises this lipid layer,thus sealing in the tears and
alleviating the burning, scratching and grittiness associated with dry
eye syndrome.By spraying Clarymist on to the closed eyelid, an even
distribution of natural oils across the outer surface of the tear film
is ensured through blinking action.One of the main reasons the lipid
layer is disrupted is because of insufficient blinking, which
typically occurs during long hours spent in front of a computeror
television.Other contributing factors to dry eyes are dehydration due
to central heating and air-conditioning,various prescription drugs and
ailments,such as rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes. Contact lens
wearers are also prone to dry eye conditions,which may worsen with
ageing.Optometrist and senior lecturer in optometry at Aston
University, UK, Dr Frank Eperjesi, said: “Clarymist is the first dry
eye treatment of its kind and will come as a welcome relief to many
sufferers.The extensive clinical research behind it alsoshows its
values as a treatment for the causes rather than the symptoms of dry
eyes.
It is asignificant breakthrough in eye health.
�Clarymist’s RRP is €19.95 for 10ml.

It works if you rub it in your eyes.

Systemic linoleic and gamma-linolenic acid therapy in dry eye syndrome
with an inflammatory component.

Cornea, 2003 Mar;22(2):97-101.

Barabino S, Rolando M, Camicione P, Ravera G, Zanardi S, Giuffrida S,
Calabria G.
Department of Neurosciences, University of Genoa, via Siccardi 14,
18030 Sanremo, Genoa, Italy.

Abstract: Purpose. To evaluate the efficacy and anti-inflammatory
activity of systemic linoleic (LA) and [gamma]-linolenic acid (GLA),
which decrease chronic inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis, on the
ocular surface of patients with keratoconjunctivitis sicca.

Methods: In a randomized clinical trial, 26 patients with aqueous-
deficient keratoconjunctivitis sicca were consecutively selected from
patients presenting to Department of Neurosciences, Ophthalmology and
Genetics, University of Genoa. The diagnosis was based on dry eye
symptom survey score, Schirmer-1 test values, positive vital staining
with lissamine green, and fluorescein break-up time (FBUT). All
patients had ocular surface inflammation based on HLA-DR expression, a
major histocompatibility class II antigen, on epithelial bulbar
conjunctiva samples. The subjects were randomly divided into two
groups of 13 patients each. The study group received tablets
containing LA (28.5 mg) and GLA (15 mg) twice daily for 45 days and
used tears; the control group received a tear substitute and a placebo
tablet for 45 days.

Results: Statistically significant changes in symptoms (p < 0.005),
lissamine green staining (p < 0.005), and ocular surface inflammation
(p < 0.05) occurred in the study group compared with controls. HLA-DR
expression varied from 58.5 +/- 14.1% positive conjunctival cells to
41.3 +/- 18.9% in the treated group and from 61.4 +/- 21.9% to 58.0
+/- 13.3% in the controls. No statistically significant difference
between groups was found for FBUT and the Schirmer-1 test.

Conclusions: Therapy with LA and GLA and tear substitutes reduces
ocular surface inflammation and improves dry eye symptoms. Long-term
studies are needed to confirm the role of this new therapy for
keratoconjunctivitis sicca.

Now you noticed how I snipped the rest of your bullsht ..

Don't you ..

What are you doing in these lists ..?

You know nothing of what you speak ..

So .. what .. are you doing here .. ?

Lecihtin contains .. LA .. and GLA is MADE .. **from** .. LA ..

So since you didn't .. obviously .. KNOW the above .. then that
means .. ? .. you are stupid ..

I believe I told you that before .. and you keep on evidencing ...
it ..

Heh .. heh ..

What a .. maroon ..

Saturated fatty acids, such as palmitic and stearic, make up 19 to 24%
of soya lecithin; the monounsaturated oleic acid contributes 9 to 11%;
linoleic acid provides 56 to 60%; and alpha-linolenic acid makes up 6
to 9%.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma-linolenic_acid

gamma-Linolenic acid (GLA) is an omega-6 essential fatty acid found
primarily in vegetable oils.
The human body produces GLA from linoleic acid (LA).
