Thank you for the link. It is not good news but adds to my data base.

Went for a retina check today. All OK. The issue of cataract removal
came up.. Until I get a clear picture I will not have any additional
surgery done. An eye with a cataract is better than
a lost one.

I guess you see what I am up against. I get input this is a
spreading problem and I see a cavalier attitude from so any docs.

Bill Gates Foundation is supposed to fund a vaccine program

I think you see why I suspect internal damage as factor in my
immediate problems. I have some crazy thought that this may be a
factor in several chronic diseases we are seeing in recent times.

Thanks for the link and the much more you have done. .

Is there a risk of losing an eye with a cataract op? Its my belief that if
cataracts aren't removed they lead to blindness.

If you will stop and read a little it might help In Australia
the problem is whip worms. The info I have read
shows that in the US there is a great increase in
helminths which are microscopic critters that used to be a major
problem in the tropics.

Today, with the gross fast travel, the world is no longer isolated
anywhere.

My post was to Charly and followed a link by him that was
difficult to read by some but very important to me. It should be
important to any diabetic.

I am infected with a serious parasite and it may never be cured.

Diabetes is a factor in my infection. When many get older they may
face this horrible condition.

In the present context, I could use a cataract operation in the second
eye. I do not want to lose this eye if the infection moved to it
after surgery.

Do I need to say more. You should be concerned that you would
recognize an infection of this type early when it is easily cured. My
recent
posts show clearly that the US docs were very poor at dealing
with this type of problem. The purpose of the posts recently is to
publicize this fact.

Some of us have serious problems and are not here to play.
Knowledge is our only and best way to deal with so much of the
illness we will face. This group is not a toy but a very serious
item to many.

Diabetes will finally teach a lot of the "hobbyists" a lesson but
too late.

I do not have much of an ego left. Chronic illness makes the tripe
here so silly.

I am giving you a rational answer. More that a lot give anyone here.

Please go back and read some of the links posted on the Helminth or
parasite area. In the future it might help you avoid some disaster.

:-) That cheered me up a bit, Guy!

Hey, lighten up! You didn't have to face this horrible condition until
you were middle aged.

I'm not too concerned about medical problems I might get. I've enough
to deal with with those problems I actually do have, and I'd rather
spend the energy I've got left over on living than worrying about what
probably won't happen.

Knowledge, a healthy scepticism and the ability to smile at adversity.

On the contrary, Guy, your ego appears in full healthy working order. ;-)
I know what you mean by cows' stomachs and agree with you, but other
people might read that as you belittling their problems.

I won't be doing this, but thanks anyhow. As I said, I don't want to
spend effort on hypothetical problems. This is similar to certain
countries' thinking on "security". They see all the things that
"terrorists" _might_ be able to do, then use that as a pretext for
wasting untold billions of dollars/pounds/euros on projects which
_might_, were they effective, save a few hundred lives. As if there
weren't better ways to spend the money.
