so, this is a hefty paper that suggests that topical application of blood serum and plasma can help reduce degradation of the cornea.

....which perhaps suggests that the problem was a lack of bloodflow and that merely increasing bloodflow might help, too? but, again: no sane person would purposefully increase their blood pressure.

i'm doing everything right in terms of maximizing blood flow, although i realize i may have a genetic condition (my father had the same problem). the only thing that might be somewhat of a problem is that it's cold in here sometimes. are there studies tying air conditioning to gum recession? it would make some sense.

gargling with my own blood seems a little medieval for me.

can i isolate the mechanism here? it seems to be "alpha 2-macroglobulin". can i get that in a supplement? are there side effects?
