MACULAR DEGENERATION (LOSS OF CENTRAL VISION)

• 1 tablespoon of tomato sauce
• 2 teaspoons of cold pressed Flaxseed oil } mixed and taken together 
• 4 x 1000 mg Evening Primrose Oil capsules } 
• 4 x 1000 mg Cod liver capsules } 
• 1 high potency Multi Vitamin and Mineral – “Formula Six” is a good one 
• 1 Bilberry tablet – Blackmores is a good one.
  
  
• Cut out all saturated fats and transfats eg margarines, cakes, cookies, biscuits, frozen/TV dinners, butter, cheese, dripping, fat in meat and chicken. The only fat to be taken is cold pressed vegetable oil eg olive oil, flaxseed oil.

Fats that are solid or semisolid at room temperature can block up the small blood vessels feeding the retina, as can blood clots. If blood clots are present in the retina blood vessels, see your doctor about taking 1-2 Cartia tablets per day.

Cut right down on alcohol, no more than 1 glass of red wine per day. Don’t save them up and have them all on Saturday night. Spread them out over the week.

If liver problems exist (raised liver enzyme levels) cut out all alcohol, paracetamol and as many drug medications as possible – consult your doctor on this. 

• Drink 2-5 cups of green tea per day. Blueberries are good – ½ punnet per day (expensive).

Chinese herbs for the liver and eyes will be needed if progress on the above regime is not experienced in 6 weeks. Jia Wei Xiao Yao Wan and Ming Mu Di Huang Wan are both good starter herbal formulas for correcting Macular Degeneration, though more powerful formulas may be needed for stubborn conditions.

Have the taking of these supervised by a Naturopath or Chinese Herbalist. Acupuncture and Tai Chi are also very good for correcting Macular Degeneration.

None of this will work if the smoking of cigarettes and/or marijuana is continued with. Cancer Council approved sunglasses must be worn outdoors.
