So I'm going to take a question from a follower. He's got a condition called Central Serous Retinopathy CSR. This is a condition where there's a fluid buildup behind the retina, that sometimes it can look like a blister, it also can turn into a retinal detachment. Sometimes the choroid, which is the layer behind the retina, which is also filled with blood vessels is part of the reason why the fluid builds up in the retina. The first thing to notice the retina has one of the highest metabolic needs in the entire body. And this means that it needs lots of nutrients to stay robust. It also comprises of about 50% of fatty acids. This is the fatty part of the body, where of course we talk about things like Omega three, DHA, DHA, specifically, also EPA, those are the things that make up Omega three, and we don't produce Omega three, we have to get it from outside sources. But there are other reasons why sometimes we might develop this condition. And it could be things like systemic inflammation, endocrine imbalances, exposures to things like glyphosate, which is found in the fertilizer, round up, which creates a lot of inflammatory disease.

There's also a glucose level relationship, meaning that if you're pre diabetic, if you have difficulty processing sugars, or you're eating a diet that's either high in processed foods, or carbohydrates, you might have a higher risk. I even think secondary things like being exposed to chronic blue light from artificial light like screens. Blue light in itself can create more of an inflammatory situation a more drying out situation. But the bottom line is, this is a very serious condition. Sometimes you need to get some laser surgery, especially if there's a retinal detachment. If it's in the early stages, there are some integrative things that you can do, I'm going to go into that in just a moment. It's important to stay connected to your eye doctor to get frequent retinal exams to make sure you're not suffering a retinal detachment. And if you do that, then you can start using some of these integrative methods. So if you're going to embark on my path, which is more integrative, I would start with the red lens therapy, the red exercise lenses. I've talked about this in many other video blogs and written blogs, posts on my social media. This goes back to the Geoffrey's Lab, which discovered that five minutes of exposure to a morning...
