About this ebook

When asked, the one thing most people would least want to lose is their vision. Macular Degeneration is particularly frustrating, because it affects the central vision, so that whatever you look at is distorted or even disappears in a black hole... While recent announcements in the news have brought hope to millions that stem cell injections deep into the eye have now been observed to stimulate regeneration of the macula, potentially restoring functional vision to those blinded by this common condition, the methods outlined in detail in this book have stimulated this kind of healing as well, without any invasive procedures. Such results have been observed independently by two different Harvard trained retinal specialists following Dr. Swartwout's patients after they chose to pursue accelerated self healing with his guidance rather than the medically recommended laser surgery for wet macular degeneration, considered the worst type of maculopathy. Whether you are looking for guidance and direction for self-healing, or additional tools as a physician or natural healer, to prevent vision loss and even help improve the chance of restoring sight to the blind, this is the book you need. It is a comprehensive overview of nature's many healing angels that have already proven helpful in healing macular disease.

    What makes true healing work such a joy, and a labor of love, is the results we see in our patients, clients, patrons, readers, friends and family... anyone who's ear we can bend in our direction, once we find ourselves on a healing mission! It is the results that fuel that mission, often long past any function it might serve as commerce or career. I would like to share a couple examples with you... the kind of experiences that one never forgets, and I hope the kind that will give you the hope, the faith, and the courage to enter into the unknown territory that is accelerated self-healing.

    Case History: Preventing Blindness

    John is a well-known radio personality and film producer with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the nutritional field. To his frustration, and despite a healthy diet and nutritional supplementation, he had progressed from the typical dry macular degeneration with small hard shiny deposits in the retina, and a loss of nearly 2 lines of visual acuity (20/30+) over several years, to the more serious wet macular degeneration with scarring, retinal bleeding and inflammation surrounding degenerating retinal drusen in the left eye at the age of 65. Wet macular degeneration often affects one eye first and the other within several years. Visual acuity in the left eye had progressively dropped from 20/30+ at the beginning of 1997 to 20/80, a disturbing 50% loss of vision, in a period of just 6 months. Very concerned about the rapid deterioration in John’s vision, Harvard trained retinal specialist, Dr. Bruce Ballon immediately set up an emergency appointment for John to fly to Honolulu for laser cauterization of the leaking blood vessels. As noted in his clinical records, he explained that ‘time is of the essence’, and loss of central VA (visual acuity may progress rapidly from wet AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration) if laser is indicated and not performed. He also noted that he may permanently lose the opportunity to delay progression of AMD (by laser tx) by postponing tx now. John, however, having had many positive experiences over the years with nutrition, elected to give natural vision care one last, but concerted effort to save his vision, knowing that with laser there would certainly be some additional damage to retinal tissue, even with the hoped for outcome of ‘delayed progression’.

    John obtained a copy of this book and followed the recommendations carefully. He was already eating lots of fresh vegetables from his own garden, taking a good multi-vitamin and an anti-oxidant complex specifically designed for the eyes. He added eye drops containing Vitamins A, C and E as well as silver and MSM. To his daily supplement program he added bioflavonoids from pine, grape, bilberry and other sources, as well as a blend of mixed carotenoids. He also decided to add a small dose of ginkgo, avoiding higher doses because of the bleeding in his retina. He also increased his levels of carotenoids and vitamins B complex (especially B6 and biotin), C, D and E as well as minerals calcium, magnesium, zinc picolinate and selenium. To this he added flora, flax, shark cartilage, milk thistle, coQ10, carnitine, alpha lipoic acid, NAC and MSM. He was concurrently taking saw palmetto.

    For years, John had also been taking an aspirin product containing caffeine for his headaches. When he learned that aspirin could contribute to his retinal bleeding, he stopped taking this product as part of his total healing program. He was pleased to find that after being on the whole regimen for 4 to 5 weeks, the headaches actually subsided.

    At John’s last checkup with Dr. Ballon, the noted Harvard trained retinologist was extremely pleased with John’s response, stating that he had never seen such fast recovery in 12 years of practice. He reported that the retinal drusen were no longer swollen and decomposing. Not only had the bleeding, inflammatory and degenerative processes been halted completely, but to Dr. Ballon’s amazement, even the retinal scarring was being reversed. In fact, John’s remarkable improvement had made such an impression on him that Dr. Ballon described his case on a radio show several days later to illustrate the potential of our growing understanding of nutrition to heal the eyes and recover lost vision. John’s vision had been fully restored to the previous
