Can Vitamin D Reverse Glaucoma?

Research supports Vitamin D to help with eye conditions including Glaucoma.

In 2014, a study involving over 6,000 people in Korea showed a very high correlation between people with low vitamin D and glaucoma. People with glaucoma had three times more problems with the vitamin D receptor.

In this video, we’re going to talk about one of the best natural remedies for glaucoma. Glaucoma is a condition where there is increased pressure inside the eyeball. This puts pressure on the optic nerve and can diminish your vision and cause blindness.

Around 80 million people in the world have glaucoma, and 50% of them are unaware that they have it. Research suggests that glaucoma could be an autoimmune disease, which would explain why this natural remedy is so effective!

In 2014, a study involving over 6,000 people in Korea showed a very high correlation between people with low vitamin D and glaucoma. People with glaucoma had three times more problems with the vitamin D receptor.

A German doctor named Dr. Harald Schelle uses high doses of vitamin D for numerous eye problems. Many autoimmune cases of glaucoma have a genetic problem with the vitamin D receptor, the conversion from the inactive to the active form of vitamin D, or an issue with vitamin D absorption. Collectively, these problems are referred to as vitamin D resistance.

To combat vitamin D resistance, you must increase your dosage. The standard recommendation for vitamin D is 20 ng per ml, however this is outdated and inaccurate. Dr. Schelle says we should have between 100 to 150 ng per ml of vitamin D.

Dr. Coimbra from Brazil has also seen excellent results using high doses of vitamin D for autoimmune conditions. He recommends starting with 1000 IUs of vitamin D per kilogram of body weight. For example, a person weighing 84 kilograms would need 84,000 IUs of vitamin D3 daily.

To minimize the risk of calcium buildup in the arteries, try the following:

• Don’t take a calcium supplement
• Reduce your consumption of calcium-rich foods
• Drink 2.5 liters of fluid daily
• Take 100 mcg of vitamin K2 for every 10,000 IUs of vitamin D3
• Take 600 mg of magnesium daily

Thanks for watching! I hope this explains the benefits of vitamin D and how it can be used as a remedy for glaucoma. I’ll see you in the next video.

Transcript Summary

What glaucoma is

The video opens by defining glaucoma as a condition of elevated pressure inside the eyeball that compresses the optic nerve, progressively diminishes vision, and can lead to blindness. The speaker notes that glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness globally, affects about 80 million people, and that roughly half of those affected do not know they have it.

Autoimmunity and vitamin D

The presenter explains that he came across research suggesting glaucoma may behave like an autoimmune disease, with immune cells and antibodies attacking eye tissues and causing chronic inflammation. Since vitamin D plays a strong role in immune regulation and nearly every part of the eye contains vitamin D receptors, he argues that vitamin D could be central to controlling this autoimmune component.

Evidence linking low vitamin D and glaucoma

He describes a 2014 Korean study of more than 6,000 participants that found a strong correlation between low vitamin D levels and glaucoma. People with glaucoma had roughly three times more problems with their vitamin D receptors, which he interprets as evidence that poor vitamin D signaling is involved in glaucoma risk or progression.

Concept of vitamin D resistance

The speaker introduces the idea of vitamin D resistance, in which genetic or metabolic issues interfere with vitamin D receptor function, conversion from inactive to active vitamin D, or intestinal absorption. In these situations, normal vitamin D doses do not produce adequate therapeutic immune effects, so the immune system remains overactive and inflamed.

High-dose vitamin D protocols

He summarizes the work of Dr. Harald Schelle in Germany, who uses very high vitamin D doses for glaucoma and other eye conditions, and Dr. Cicero Coimbra in Brazil, who applies high-dose vitamin D protocols to autoimmune diseases. These clinicians reportedly target blood vitamin D levels of about 100–150 ng/mL, and Coimbra suggests starting at approximately 1,000 IU of vitamin D3 per kilogram of body weight each day to overcome resistance.

Monitoring parathyroid hormone

To determine whether the large vitamin D doses are actually engaging vitamin D receptors, he recommends measuring parathyroid hormone (PTH), because effective vitamin D signaling drives PTH down into the low-normal range. He suggests adjusting dosage over several months until either blood vitamin D reaches the 100–150 ng/mL range or PTH falls to low-normal, indicating receptor activation.

Reducing calcium-related risks

Because high vitamin D can increase calcium absorption, the video emphasizes strategies to reduce the risk of hypercalcemia and arterial calcium buildup. These include avoiding calcium supplements, limiting calcium-rich foods, drinking about 2.5 liters of fluid daily, supplementing with 100 micrograms of vitamin K2 per 10,000 IU of vitamin D3, and taking about 600 milligrams of magnesium daily.

Prevention and closing advice

He explains that even people without glaucoma but with a family history might consider higher vitamin D intake as a preventive strategy against autoimmune diseases, including glaucoma, while working with their physician. The video closes by reiterating that viewers should not stop prescribed glaucoma medications, should discuss any high-dose vitamin D regimen with their doctor, and may want to learn more about vitamin D toxicity and safety.
