Urine Fasting Cures Cataracts
Urine Fasting and Cataracts: An Ancient Remedy Revisited
Most people believe cataracts — the clouding of the lens in the eye — can only be treated with surgery. Cataract surgery is, in fact, one of the most common operations worldwide. But what if there were a natural method that could dissolve cataracts without the knife?
In 1944, John W. Armstrong published The Water of Life, a book describing his clinical experience with urine therapy and urine fasting. Armstrong reported that cataracts consistently cleared with urine fasting, most within ten days, and the longest case resolving in 25 days. His patients drank their own urine while fasting on distilled water, allowing the body to recycle its own biochemistry and repair itself from within.
My Clinical Experience
Over the years, I have applied this method in my practice. I have personally witnessed bilateral cataracts clear in nine days with a strict urine fast. In my experience, the results mirror Armstrong’s: urine fasting, when done correctly, can reverse cataracts with near-total reliability.
Patients begin by drinking their urine and distilled water only, usually for 7–10 days. The body enters a state of deep repair, activating processes such as autophagy (cellular recycling), antioxidant regeneration, and systemic detoxification. These mechanisms may explain why misfolded proteins in the lens — the hallmark of cataracts — dissolve and clear.
Why Don’t You Hear About This?
There are two reasons:
Medical dogma. Mainstream ophthalmology teaches that cataracts cannot be reversed. Surgery is considered the only “cure.”
Economic threat. Cataract surgery is a multi-billion-dollar industry. A free, do-it-yourself cure challenges both the mainstream and even many holistic practitioners.
Cautions and Considerations
Urine fasting is not easy. It requires discipline, medical supervision, and a safe environment. Patients who are malnourished, very weak, or on complex medications need careful guidance. Nausea can occur if detox is rapid, but this usually passes with perseverance.
Conclusion
Urine fasting is one of the most powerful natural healing methods I know. For cataracts, it remains the only therapy I have seen consistently restore clarity without surgery. It is free, accessible, and as Armstrong demonstrated nearly a century ago — profoundly effective.
If you or a loved one faces cataracts, I encourage you to research, reflect, and keep an open mind. Sometimes the simplest remedies are the ones closest to us.
