STEP 1UNDERSTAND YOUR CONDITION

Page 7: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

Types of ARMD

Dry Degeneration of the rods and

cones Formation of Drusen

Wet Vascular leakage Detachment of the retina

Page 11: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

Causes of ARMD Normal process of aging leads to

degenerative eye diseases Increased levels of free radicals High dietary intake of saturated

fats and cholesterol Smoking Ultraviolet light

Page 12: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

Protect your eyes from the sunlight

Sun light increases the risk of developing macular degeneration

Studies have shown that people who spend a great deal of time outdoors are twice as likely to develop macular degeneration

A good pair of sunglasses which block 100% of UVA and UVB and block at least 85% of blue violet sun rays

Page 13: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

Other possible causes

Vaccinations Antibiotics Heavy metal poisoning

Page 14: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

Step2 Feast for your eyes

You should shift your diet away from meats and dairy towards a largely vegetarian diet that includes cold water fish and eggs

Colorful foods will give you colorful vision! (contains carotenoids)

There is evidence that this type of diet will help in weight reduction, reduce the risk of arteriosclerotic vascular disease, lower blood pressure, reduce the incidence of diabetes, and improve circulation to the eye

Page 15: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

Eliminate the following

Coffee Aspirin Margarine Alcohol Tobacco products

Page 16: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

Step 3 Exercise

Fight depression Improve confidence; increase safety Develop kinesthetic sense Improve cardiovascular health

Page 17: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

Exercise- make it fun!

Trampoline Dancing Yoga Water workouts Oriental Forms of exercise

Tai Chi QiGong

Page 18: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

Step 4 Cope with Stress

Mind-body connection in health and disease

Reducing stress produces a general feeling of well being

Page 19: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

Techniques

Deep breathing Body relaxation Positive affirmation Yoga Meditation

Step 6Feed your macula

Eat colorful foods to maintain good color vision

Two important carotenoids are lutein and zeathanthin

They are needed to maintain the macula lutea.

Protect the eye against photo-induced damage

Studies show that animals deprived from this pigment develop macular degeneration.

Page 27: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

Step 7 Supplement your diet

Antioxidants deactivate or neutralize free radicals; examples are Vitamins C, E, beta-carotene and the minerals selenium and zinc.

Average American diet is deficient in antioxidants.

One cannot receive high enough doses of antioxidants from diet.

Page 28: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

Macular Degeneration Nutritional Formula

Carefully selected combination of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, herbs, and amino acids designed to provide all the needed nutritional supplements for optimal eye health

Also contains lutein, bilberry and ginko biloba

Page 31: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

Step 9 Chelation Therapy: Improve circulation to the eye

“Hardening of the arteries” and free radical damage contribute to macular degeneration

Chelation improves blood flow to the eye, allowing the retina to receive more oxygen and nutrients

It also reduces the effects of atherosclerosis

Page 32: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

Mechanism of Chelation

Removes toxic heavy metals from the body

Inhibits free radical activity in the body (Acts as a powerful antioxidant)

Removes excess calcium/ plaque from blood vessels and improves blood flow

Page 33: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

Affinity of EDTA for metal ions chromium iron mercury copper lead zinc cadmium

cobalt aluminum iron manganese calcium magnesium

Page 34: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

Chelation Therapy

Many reports of patients who have an improvement of vision after Chelation therapy

The “InsideLine” has reported in many instances, IV Chelation therapy has been known to correct and reverse AMD.

Dr. Harold Byer has reported good results in using Chelation for macular degeneration.

Page 35: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

Chelation Therapy Dr. Morton Walker in his book,

“The Chelation Way” states the following: “Chelation therapy appears to bring back the circulation to such affected vision and improves it (macular degeneration) better than any other therapy now available- better even than eye surgery”.

Page 36: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

Why Is Chelation Therapy Not More Widespread?

Chelation threatens to substantially reduce the cost of health care (Profits)

No potential profit for the pharmaceutical industry

Not a big money-maker compared to open heart surgery.

Not covered by most Insurance.

Page 37: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

Step 10 Homeopathy:Heal from within

“You may honestly feel grateful that homeopathy survived the attempts of the Allopathists to destroy it.” Mark Twain

Page 38: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

What is Homeopathy?

Small doses give big results

It is not Herbal or Vitamin Therapy. Developed by Dr. Samuel

Hahnemann nearly 200 years ago It has stood the test of time and

has widespread acceptance.

Page 39: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

The Law of Similars

Homeo-Similar, Pathos-Suffering Medications which cause

symptoms in a healthy individual will cure those symptoms in a diseased person.

Page 40: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

Homeopathic Like Therapy in Conventional Medicine Modern allergy treatment Immunization Radiation therapy Digitalis Ritalin Nitroglycerine Gold salts

Page 41: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

The Homeopathic Evaluation Based on the understanding and

respect for the uniqueness of each individual

A Homeopathic remedy is based on the whole person looking at the mental, emotional and physical patterns.

Ten people with macular degeneration will each receive a different homeopathic remedy

Page 42: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

Step 11Microcurrent Stimulation: Wake up your eyes

Received press when Sam Snead had marked improvement in his vision

Similar to a “TENS” unit used by many people for relief of muscular pain.

Also used by surgeons to improve wound healing and increase blood flow for transplanted tissue

Page 43: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration
Page 44: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

The bio-electric body

Acupuncture is based on bio-electric flow in the body

Our cells are like batteries and they need electrical stimulation for repair and regeneration

MCS focuses this energy to the diseased area of the eye to stimulate the healing of the retina.

Page 45: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

Mechanism of Microcurrent

Increase circulation Increase cell activity Reducing scar tissue

Kaada B 1983 Promoted Healing Of Chronic Ulceration By Transcutaneous Nerve Stimulation. (TNS) VASA 12: 262-269

10 patients with chronic leg ulcers which had resisted the standard medical approaches.

After the TENS treatment 8 of the 10 patients had successful healing of their leg ulcers.

20 patients with poor circulation after plastic surgery.

After TENS treatment the skin showed a significant increase in blood flow.

50 to 500 microamperes produce the following:

Increase in intracellular protein Increase in glycogen uptake Increase of ATP concentrations by

300 to 500%

Page 50: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

Results of MCS Up to 150% improvement in some

subsets of patients with the dry form of macular degeneration.

As much as 58% improvement with the more advanced wet form.

Our results indicate over 70% of patients have an improvement of vision

Treatment protocol Involves periodic administration of pulses of

small amounts of currents at very low voltages delivered through electrodes in contact with the skin at key points around the eye

Patients receive 8 treatments over a 4 days and then 4 to 5 times daily with a home unit.

Page 59: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration

Advantages of the OMCS Unit

A double channel unit that will create 4 different frequencies, which in theory is 4 times the healing power of a single channel unit.

Digital System; computer measuring skin resistance, instead of feedback loop, erratic current flow.

40 microamps for optimum delivery at the cellular level

Automatic easier to use Pin Hole glasses. No feeling of current or tingling.
