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](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042607/555351e5b4c90503618b5441/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
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](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042607/555351e5b4c90503618b5441/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Other possible causes
Vaccinations Antibiotics Heavy metal poisoning
![Page 14: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042607/555351e5b4c90503618b5441/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
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

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](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042607/555351e5b4c90503618b5441/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
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](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042607/555351e5b4c90503618b5441/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
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 29: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042607/555351e5b4c90503618b5441/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Step 8 Three important herbs for your vision
Bilberry Ginko Biloba Eye Bright
![Page 31: What Can I Do To Stop Macular Degeneration](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042607/555351e5b4c90503618b5441/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
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](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042607/555351e5b4c90503618b5441/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
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](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042607/555351e5b4c90503618b5441/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
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](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042607/555351e5b4c90503618b5441/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
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](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042607/555351e5b4c90503618b5441/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
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](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042607/555351e5b4c90503618b5441/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
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](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042607/555351e5b4c90503618b5441/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
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](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042607/555351e5b4c90503618b5441/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
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](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042607/555351e5b4c90503618b5441/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
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](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042607/555351e5b4c90503618b5441/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
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](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042607/555351e5b4c90503618b5441/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
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](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042607/555351e5b4c90503618b5441/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
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](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042607/555351e5b4c90503618b5441/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

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](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042607/555351e5b4c90503618b5441/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Mechanism of Microcurrent
Increase circulation Increase cell activity Reducing scar tissue
