A lot of people get eye floaters.
Sometimes it's dark spots.
Sometimes it's gray spots.
Sometimes it's black spots.
Sometimes they'll close their eyes at night and they'll see sprinkling lights or just flashing little lights or they'll see little white spots.
Sometimes they'll have their eyes wide open and see dark spots and they'll see the dark spots kind of moving around.
Sometimes the dark spots will drop down.
Sometimes they'll move across.
Let's take a look at the eye right now and see what we've got.
So what happens is a lot of these diagnoses for dark spots in the eyes or any kind of flashing or light spots in the eyes or any kind of lights at all that people see is mysterious.
The doctor will check out the retina.
They'll make sure it's not detached.
They'll just see if there's any degenerative eye disease, any kind of thing like that.
They'll look at the nerves in the back, the optic nerve.
They'll try to find optic neuritis or any kind of other issues.
And most of the time, they'll say you've got floaters in the eyes and we don't have an answer.
So you become this person that's just like, I got eye floaters.
What do I do?
And you'll see these eye floaters at different times of the day.
You'll see them at clusters sometimes.
You'll be with a friend.
You'll be with some family members.
And then you see these clusters.
Like, what's happening?
Am I stroking out?
Is something going wrong?
So so many people, they struggle with this eye floater problem, and it really interferes with their life.
So let's talk about what happens.
It starts in the liver originally, okay?
So the Epstein-Barr virus sits inside the liver.
Now, that's the virus that creates most of the eye floaters is the Epstein-Barr.
It produces a viral neurotoxin, so it likes to eat a lot of different foods.
It'll like cheese.
It'll like that kind of thing.
It'll like gluten, like in the gluten crust.
If someone has one of the over 60 varieties of Epstein-Barr virus inside the liver, producing a large amount of neurotoxins, chances are those neurotoxins will get to the eye finally.
And when they do get to the eye, they saturate the eye.
Now, toxic heavy metals play a role.
The virus does love metals like mercury.
People with eye floaters usually have a higher amount of mercury levels inside their organs,
specifically inside their liver.
So as these neurotoxins float around and get to the eye,
they eventually dirty the eye up and create these mysterious eye floaters.
Now, viruses also get close to the optic nerve,
or their neurotoxins will get close to the optic nerve,
saturating the optic nerve,
creating signals to the eye
where you get these phantom eye floaters.
