SUPRISING Connection Between Gut Microbiome and Eye Health

I have been aware of the gut-brain connection for 40 yrs. Glad that the younger generations are becoming more aware and enlightened on this. Poisons in pesticides in our foods, need to be addressed, as they kill the beneficial gut flora.

Parasites/bacterium cause everything that goes wrong with our body. I have suffered from Lyme disease, leukemia, neuropathy, and a handful of other crap that goes along with Lyme for 30 years. Doctors could do nothing. From Covid come along, and ivermectin was uncovered as a great treatment, I started taking the ivermectin horse paste 1.87. Lyme disease & all co-infections are now gone!!! I have not felt this good in years. I am definitely loving life now!

Amazing content. I am 63yrs old and suffer from a number of eye issues including " dome maculopathy" as a result of being highly myopic. The interesting thing is that I was 43yrs when diagnosis with chronic ceoliac disease. It took me 3 years on a strict gf diet for my intestines to recover. Clearly, I am a classic case & proof that there is indeed a very strong connection between gut & eye health. Thank you so much for this very valuable information.

I've been using omega 3 in high doses for my hormones but very fast I noticed my eye dryness reduced significantly.

Wheat and gluten are highly inflammatory i would recommend taking them out of your diet to reduce inflammation

Years ago I was diagnosed with blepharitis. No cure, only treatment with eyelid scrub, warm compresses, and artifical tears. Well, the first two didn't help at all so I gave up on them. A few years later I was diagnosed with oral lichen planus and was told it's an autoimmune issue. Strangely, this New Year's day I began eating carnivore but could only stick with it for 45 days, even with taking digestive enzymes. So I swapped to Keto and eat low carb veggies, nuts, berries in addition to animal foods. My blepharitis got 80% better. I went from Thera Tears all day long to days where I don't need drops at all. I recently noticed the lace patches of oral lichen planus are gone too! My theory is by cutting junk foods and grains my diet is much less inflammatory. I began this lifestyle to lose weight (51 lbs gone) but the healing of my eyes and mouth are a wonderful bonus. I will never stop eating this way. I still take digestive enzymes and occasionally a real good probiotic.

You are a brilliant young man Dr. Joseph Allen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

I just discovered your channel. Like what I hear, the fact that you’re open to the latest research in Microbiome and its relation to the brain and other parts of the body. Our gut is referred to as the second brain. I have a leg up on many people when it comes to Pre, Pro and Postbiotics. I’ve been reading, listening to doctor William Davis, cardiovascular surgeon and author of best sellers such as Super Gut, Undoctored and the Wheat Belly books. I’ve also followed Donna Schwenk who has a wonderful website and is one of the pioneers in cultured foods. Highly recommend both people. Donna is NOT a doctor but she lives, eats, and breathes cultured foods and is very knowledgeable. Bottom line don’t buy Probiotics, it’s a waste of money and time. EAT your Pre and Probiotics, period!

I am eating gluten free, sugar and sweetener free, nightshade free, and as lectin free as possible for gut health. Now my whole body has benefitted. Less arthritis pain, improved heart health, and improved vision. I am also taking supplements. I try to eat organic and pastured meats and eggs. Not corn fed. I still eat many vegetables, berries, dark chocolate, sweet potatoes, cassava, nuts, and more. Not deprived, just different.

I ate some kelp seaweed the other day and noticed I could now read smaller print .😎

Thank you very much for this video. As you gave me every answer, which I'm looking for almost 5 years. My home doctor thinks I am suffering from IBS, and for a few years, I have had problems in my joints After having chronic headaches and one day i lost my vision from right eye, my neurologist said, may be I suffered tiny stroke in brain. Today, I can connect the dots of all my problems to guts problems, which I'm suffering longest. Also, most of the time, if I get gut problems, then I feel uncomfortable in my eyes. In the hospital, my eye doctor said I have very dry eyes. So, thank you for such valuable information.

I started to drink Apple cider vinegar, it's very good for gut biome...

Very intersting topic. Connection between microbiome and Eye health is so new that all of the douzens eye doctors that I visited were totally ignorat of. The concept of nutriton as a significant factor to eye health is just alien to them, as if eye is connected to body by ethernet cable! As someone who suffers from chronic dry eyes, I experience this connection firsthand but when I explain it to the docotrs they dismiss it as irrelevant, and just prescribe another useless eye drop. Personally I see that whenver I have bloating (especially after a night of drinking or having lectine heavy foods like lentiles) I get sever dry eyes and excruciating eye pain due to cornia being scratched. Please keep us updated about this crucial eye-gut connection.

Oh wow.... Great stream! Thanks for sharing ''SUPRISING Connection Between Gut Microbiome and Eye Health" !

My eye doctor found blood in the back of my eye. Said he didn't know what it was. And fired me before the next appointment. He did a bunch of tests for everything else. Said I was fine and sent me home. I hadn't been diagnosed for diabetes yet. I had lost my furbaby and thought it was all my crying that caused it along with a heart arythmia. She was just such a precious little life. I so miss her.

Thank you my eye doctor/professor!

So amazing how this channel has grown in content 👍 Also amazing how mainstream all this has become nowadays - we were called nuts when we talked about this stuff over 20 years ago. I'm glad we are learning more through research now, however, it's still a mess because it's so complicated and individual. Probiotics are so individual, what may work for one person, may not work for the next, so people may have to experiment to find what works for them. Soluble fiber is important, IF tolerated, for many gut issues.

I tell everyone that indicates they have eye problems to connect to your program 😊

Thank you so much for all the great information 🙏🏻

Yes, I found a cocktail for eyes sight, that improves clear vision, clear-sharp vision, can see street sigh, and read books without glasses. I just want to help the whole world to have better eyes sight, no more blurring, especially for seniors. Tell the world about this cocktail DIY. It works for seniors me and my friends. Here the eyes cocktail = 4 beetroots +2 apples blended into a paste and put in a container for one week + two spoonful apple cider vinegar + some Himalayan salt. when you drink take only 2 or 3 spoons of beet paste and mix with a glass of orange juice. You can drink from day one to the end of the week and you will see the result as you can see tv more clearly, and the surroundings more real no more blurring. This is the Gut Microbiome and eyes Health. Love from seniors, if it works for you please tell the monks and nuns and old people in Tibet, Nepal, and the Himalayan people to know about this cocktail. It is free for all people on this Planet Earth🌎🌏🌍No commercial. Gut relates to eyes.
