  • STEP 1UNDERSTAND YOUR CONDITION

  • Types of ARMDDryDegeneration of the rods and conesFormation of DrusenWetVascular leakageDetachment of the retina

  • Changes in Macular Degeneration

  • Distortion produced by ARMD

  • Grid Testing

  • Causes of ARMDNormal process of aging leads to degenerative eye diseasesIncreased levels of free radicalsHigh dietary intake of saturated fats and cholesterolSmokingUltraviolet light

  • Protect your eyes from the sunlightSun light increases the risk of developing macular degenerationStudies 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

  • Other possible causesVaccinationsAntibioticsHeavy metal poisoning

  • Step2 Feast for your eyesYou should shift your diet away from meats and dairy towards a largely vegetarian diet that includes cold water fish and eggsColorful 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

  • Eliminate the followingCoffeeAspirinMargarineAlcoholTobacco products

  • Step 3 ExerciseFight depressionImprove confidence; increase safetyDevelop kinesthetic senseImprove cardiovascular health

  • Exercise- make it fun!TrampolineDancingYogaWater workoutsOriental Forms of exerciseTai ChiQiGong

  • Step 4 Cope with StressMind-body connection in health and diseaseReducing stress produces a general feeling of well being

  • Step 6Feed your maculaEat colorful foods to maintain good color visionTwo important carotenoids are lutein and zeathanthinThey are needed to maintain the macula lutea.Protect the eye against photo-induced damageStudies show that animals deprived from this pigment develop macular degeneration.

  • Step 7 Supplement your dietAntioxidants 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.

  • Macular Degeneration Nutritional FormulaCarefully selected combination of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, herbs, and amino acids designed to provide all the needed nutritional supplements for optimal eye healthAlso contains lutein, bilberry and ginko biloba

  • Step 8 Three important herbs for your visionBilberryGinko BilobaEye Bright

  • Step 9 Chelation Therapy: Improve circulation to the eyeHardening 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 nutrientsIt also reduces the effects of atherosclerosis

  • Mechanism of ChelationRemoves toxic heavy metals from the bodyInhibits free radical activity in the body (Acts as a powerful antioxidant)Removes excess calcium/ plaque from blood vessels and improves blood flow

  • Affinity of EDTA for metal ionschromiumironmercurycopperleadzinccadmium

  • Chelation TherapyMany reports of patients who have an improvement of vision after Chelation therapyThe 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.

  • Chelation TherapyDr. 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.

  • Why Is Chelation Therapy Not More Widespread?Chelation threatens to substantially reduce the cost of health care (Profits)No potential profit for the pharmaceutical industryNot a big money-maker compared to open heart surgery.Not covered by most Insurance.

  • Step 10 Homeopathy:Heal from withinYou may honestly feel grateful that homeopathy survived the attempts of the Allopathists to destroy it. Mark Twain

  • What is Homeopathy?

    Small doses give big resultsIt is not Herbal or Vitamin Therapy.Developed by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann nearly 200 years agoIt has stood the test of time and has widespread acceptance.

  • The Law of SimilarsHomeo-Similar, Pathos-SufferingMedications which cause symptoms in a healthy individual will cure those symptoms in a diseased person.

  • Homeopathic Like Therapy in Conventional MedicineModern allergy treatmentImmunizationRadiation therapyDigitalisRitalinNitroglycerineGold salts

  • The Homeopathic EvaluationBased on the understanding and respect for the uniqueness of each individualA 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

  • Step 11Microcurrent Stimulation: Wake up your eyesReceived press when Sam Snead had marked improvement in his visionSimilar 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

  • The bio-electric bodyAcupuncture is based on bio-electric flow in the bodyOur cells are like batteries and they need electrical stimulation for repair and regenerationMCS focuses this energy to the diseased area of the eye to stimulate the healing of the retina.

  • Mechanism of MicrocurrentIncrease circulationIncrease cell activityReducing scar tissue

  • Kaada B 1982 Vasodilation Induced By Transcutaneous Nerve Stimulation In Peripheral Ischemia (Raynauds Phenomenon And Diabetic Polyneuropathy). European Heart Journal 3:303-3144 patients with Raynaudsincreased in the skin temperaturepatients had relief from their pain.

  • Kaada B 1983 Promoted Healing Of Chronic Ulceration By Transcutaneous Nerve Stimulation. (TNS) VASA 12: 262-26910 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.

  • Kjartansson J, Lundberg T 1990 Effects Of Electrical Nerve Stimulation (ENS) In Ischemic Tissue. Scandinavian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Hand Surgery 24: 129-134 20 patients with poor circulation after plastic surgery. After TENS treatment the skin showed a significant increase in blood flow.

  • N Cheng et al: The effects of electric current on ATP generation, protein synthesis and membrane transport in rat skin. Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research 1982: 264-272.50 to 500 microamperes produce the following:Increase in intracellular proteinIncrease in glycogen uptakeIncrease of ATP concentrations by 300 to 500%

  • Results of MCSUp 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

  • Dual channel probe setting292.0 -292.7 Hz30.0- 30.7 Hz9.1- 9.8 Hz0.3 - 1.0 Hz

  • Treatment protocolInvolves 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 eyePatients receive 8 treatments over a 4 days and then 4 to 5 times daily with a home unit.

  • 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 usePin Hole glasses. No feeling of current or tingling.

  • Treatment protocolMacular degeneration treatment involves periodic administration of small amounts of square-wave direct currents at very low voltages delivered through electrodes in contact with the skin at key points around the eye4 day treatment protocolTreatment with a home unit twice daily
