Keratoconus: Arthur Alexander Knapp, M.D., reports, “In another of our projects with dogs and rats, keratoconus developed in all the animals on vitamin D deficient low calcium diets. Following this work vitamin D and calcium were prescribed for persons affected by conical cornea. Within six weeks there was a noticeable change. Every patient had improved eyesight, accompanied by flattening of the cone with apparently an increase in the substantia propria layer of the cornea to give added strength. To corroborate a reduction in the height of the cornea, plaster of Paris casts were made of the membrane before and after treatment. These cones were measured by a toolmaker’s microscope, easily accurate to within 1/10,000 of an inch. Reduction in the height of the cones was invariably found” (Blindness: forty years of original research. J Int Acad Prev Med, 1977;July:57).

Come il Dr. Knapp ha fatto regredire il cheratocono con la vitamina D e il calcio

Vitamin D and calcium. Arthur A. Knapp, MD, used 50,000 units of vitamin D and one gram of calcium on intermittent days. These helped against eye conditions including myopia, keratoconus, cataract, optic nerve atrophy and retinitis pigmentosa.

Similar alterations have reportedly been induced by magnesium deficiency. This review suggests a possible relationship between the specific keratoconic disorders and the alteration induced by magnesium deficiency at the intracellular and extracellular levels

Regressione del cheratocono con calcio e vitamina D

One practitioner treated 11 patients (18 eyes) with keratoconus using a combination of vitamin D (in the form of irradiated ergosterol, a precursor to vitamin [D.sub.2]) and a calcium preparation containing 64-percent bone meal and 32-percent dicalcium phosphate. The dosage of vitamin D was 15,000 IU per day (larger doses were used in some cases), taken after breakfast, while the dosage of supplemental calcium was 140-1,260 mg daily, depending on the amount of milk consumed by each patient. The treatment period ranged from three months to three years. All patients showed improvement in vision and a flattening of the cones on ophthalmologic examination. Plaster-of-Paris casts taken of the anterior segment of the eyes of three patients confirmed the improvement noted on ophthalmologic examination. (46)
In his report, this practitioner cited evidence that keratoconus develops in dogs and rats fed a diet low in vitamin D and calcium. The mechanism of action of these nutrients in the treatment of keratoconus is not known.
The high doses of the vitamin [D.sub.2] precursor used to treat keratoconus have the potential to cause hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria. However, vitamin [D.sub.3] has been found to be 3.4-9.4 times as potent as vitamin [D.sub.2] in humans, (47) and might therefore be an effective treatment for keratoconus at doses well below 15,000 IU daily (i.e., in the range of 1,600-4,400 IU per day). The Tolerable Upper Intake Level for vitamin D established by the Institute of Medicine for humans age one year or older is 2,000 IU per day. Studies in healthy adults suggest 4,000 IU of vitamin [D.sub.3] daily for 2-5 months is a safe level of intake. (48)

One series of animals was fed a vitamin D-deficient, low-calcium diet. Several pathological conditions were noted: keratoconus, myopia, cataract, a pigmentary disturbance of the retina, and arteriosclerosis.
