Diabetes & Blindness--A Solution? In a new scientific report*, researchers have found that high doses of aspirin** but not some other anti-inflammatories, "....have a beneficial effect in early experimental diabetic retinopathy and hold promise for clinical efficacy in patients." *Drs. Joussen, Poulaki, Mitslades, et al, of Mass. Eye & Ear Infirmary, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Mass., Center for Opthamology, U. of Cologne, Koln, Germany, Center for Molecular Med., U. of Cologne, and the Dana-Farber Cancer Inst., Harvard Med. School. Pub. in FASEB Journal, vol. 16, 2002. **The dosage used in the animal studies was 50 milligrams per kilogram. A kilogram is 2.2 pounds. A full aspirin (not a baby one) is 325 milligrams. Please note that despite aspirin's wide range of benefits, it is still a drug. It can cause gastric upset, and even ulcers to those sensitive to it. See your physician.
