These people cured macular degeneration, it seems.

It's a workaround, not a cure.

“These people cured macular degeneration, it seems.

I agree.

I’ve been reading and researching MD for several years. I have my own theory based upon reviewing the journal articles on MD.

There are two types of MD, wet & dry. The difference between the two are that the wet MD include capillary leakage as a result of the VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) which circulates in the blood stream and promotes capillary growth in areas of the body where there is hypoxia. Dr’s inject anti VEGF drugs like Avastin into the eye to stop the leakage, but the fix is temporary.

The diagnosis for MD is when the zeaxanthin in the macula is diminished and it is replaced by drusen. Zeaxanthin is one of the two primary xanthophyll carotenoids contained within the retina of the eye. Within the central macula, zeaxanthin is the dominant component, whereas in the peripheral retina, lutein predominates. (these are the two primary ingredients in eye vitamins.)

My own theory is that the deficiency of zeaxanthin, which functions as an oxygen reservoir causes hypoxia in the eye when there is insufficient oxygen in the bloodstream, which in turn causes deterioration of the receptors in the macula. Current research supports this as zeaxanthin supplementation has been shown to actually reverse MD.

This is why individuals with sleep apnea, smokers... are more likely to have MD.i.e. oxygen starvation.

I do medical intuitive work and quite a few years ago, out of the blue I asked a woman with MD in both eyes what her mother died of. I asked this after observing severe bruises on the woman’s legs. Her reply was anemia.

Of course I replied, your hemoglobin is not transporting sufficient oxygen. (The woman I was working with had anemia until she went through menopause) this in turn was the root cause of her MD. There are several influencing factors, but I always try to find the root cause of illness.

By the way, I do not diagnose or prescribe. I educate people and send them back to their Dr’s with specific questions.

I recently met this woman mentioned above again and after several years her eyesight has improved and she has not been getting the Avastin shots in her eye every month as she had prior to our meeting.
