Story-At-a-Glance

Hey, Matt Cook here, and if you think eye problems such as glaucoma can’t happen to you…

…that it only happens to men with a history of vision problems…

…then I’m sorry to tell you that’s just not true.

Many men are getting glaucoma as they get older, and they are so shocked by it…

(And age related macular degeneration, cataracts, retinopathy…)

I want to avoid this nasty shock and help men get ahead of the problem, so you can prevent eye issues by starting TODAY…

…and keep good, sharp vision into your 100s and beyond…

How I took care of my wife’s glaucoma

My wife Jodi recently had a scare with glaucoma…

She’s never had eye problems in her life. Then suddenly the eye doctor is saying it’s glaucoma.

Really scary, so of course I got to work immediately to research a way to reverse it.

That’s how the Youthful Eye Transformation was born.

It’s helping hundreds of men avoid the same fate, and protect their eyesight now and decades from now.

And I’m proud to say my wife has perfect IOPs and is doing wonderfully now thanks to these same discoveries, with 20/20 vision.

Cataracts and glaucoma – start preventing them today

Glaucoma is the name given to a number of different eye diseases which result in damage to the optic nerve.

It is the leading cause of blindness in people over 60 years old.

One of the main triggers for glaucoma is increased intraocular pressure – increased pressure inside the eyeball.

A number of risk factors for glaucoma have been identified – but the real root causes are mainly a mystery to the medical community.

It should not be a mystery, because there is a whole body of research showing that serotonin increases intraocular pressure leading to glaucoma.

Antiserotonin treatments effectively lower eye pressure and help with many cases of glaucoma.

There are even animal experiments showing that serotonin-boosting treatments, like SSRI “antidepressants”…

…increase the intraocular pressure which leads to glaucoma.

The animal experiments were carried out at the 2nd University of Naples in Italy. The findings were published in the journal Experimental by Research.

In these experiments, researchers looked at the effect of fluoxetine on intraocular eye pressure in rabbits.

Fluoxetine is a SSRI antidepressant – commonly known as Prozac.

The researchers wanted to see if Prozac had any effect on eye pressure – a common cause of glaucoma.

Their experiments showed that an injection of Prozac significantly increased pressure inside the eyes of the rabbits.

“Administration of Prozac significantly increased intraocular pressure.”

This finding shows that commonly used antidepressant treatments and other substances which increase serotonin could be a major cause of glaucoma.

The researchers also carried out urine analysis on the animals.

The animals urinated less, and there were significantly higher levels of serotonin metabolites in their urine.

5-HIAA is a primary metabolite of serotonin – indicating more serotonin activity in the body.

“Prozac reduced the amount of urine excreted and increased the concentration of 5–HIAA.”

The animals were retaining more water – which may have been increasing pressure in the eye.

There are also clear signs of increased serotonin activity caused by the treatment.

Other studies have shown that serotonin is very highly active in the eye.

So the researchers carried out some experiments to see if they could prevent the increase in eye pressure using serotonin-blocking treatments.

The researchers used something called ketanserin – a treatment which blocks some serotonin receptors.

Ketanserin and similar treatments have been used as a treatment for glaucoma – though officially the mechanism was unknown.

When the animals were given ketanserin before being exposed to Prozac…

…they did not experience an increase in eye pressure which could otherwise lead to glaucoma.

“Topical pre-administration of ketanserin prevented a rise in intraocular eye pressure.”

This study clearly shows that serotonin can cause increased eye pressure and glaucoma…

…and also that serotonin blockers can prevent these problems.

“Prozac is able to raise intraocular high-pressure by increasing serotonin, which is confirmed by the increase in serotonin metabolites.”

Antiserotonin treatments like ketanserin can block the serotonin receptors…

…preventing the harmful effects of serotonin even when it is elevated.

“Ketanserin, a serotonin receptor blocker, counteracts the increase in eye pressure brought about by Prozac – emphasizing the role of serotonin in regulating high-pressure.”

The researchers stressed the importance of checkups for eye health in people who are using SSRI antidepressants like Prozac.

“We stress the importance of including eye examinations in the protocol of depressed patients undergoing SSRI antidepressant therapy.”

It is yet another nail in the coffin for these serotonin-boosting treatments.

They have a whole host of severe side effects, and they do not work as advertised.

Serotonin is truly a harmful substance…

And the minority of people who feel better when taking SSRI treatments…

…probably feel better because these treatments boost another substance in the brain called allopregnanolone.

Allopregnanolone is a natural brain hormone.

There are much safer ways to feel better.

But coming off of SSRI treatments can be quite difficult and dangerous – you should always do this under the supervision of your doctor.

I’m really excited about this…

This is a brand new Transformation for men who want to go beyond SSRIs…

Men who want great mental health without debilitating side effects…

I’ve been experimenting with a little-known compound that targets the root cause of social anxiety and depression in the brain…

Studies are showing it can help men break free from the cycle of mental health challenges and finally find the peace and happiness he deserves.

So I’ve perfected a protocol using this compound that men can do at home and put it into a brand new Transformation.

As always, it’s free with your All Access Pass.

And if you join the Transformation now, you’ll get the opportunity to get a free All Access Pass for a full year.

We’ll enter you into a drawing with other men who participate and announce the winner soon.

Just go here to get started (and keep an eye out for the email with your number in it that will be coming soon)
