The eye disease known as macular degeneration affects millions of people. But it doesn't have to go unchecked. Doctors Marc and Michael Rose show how you can prevent, halt and even reverse the progress of macular degeneration and other eye problems.
I found "Save Your Sight" interesting and easy to read. Macular degeneration is explained in layman's terms and how diet modification may make a significant contribution in slowing or stopping the progress of this disorder. Learning I have MD in the early stages was a wake-up call. Self-management and self-determination are important to me so dietary and other positive lifestyle changes are more appealing than the possibility of invasive procedures which could do more harm than good. Whether diet, exercise, learning to relax, will alter the outcome of my MD remains to be seen (couldn't resist the pun); I think the overall health outcomes will prove the effort a good investment of my time, energy and resources in any event.

This book should be in every optition's shop

This book is the best I have found on this dreadful condition - it proves that your eyesight is connected to your general wellbeing. It should be the bible of every Optician and Eye Specialist. It explains why macular degeneration occurs and what you can do about it. It gives one hope after being told 'go away - there is nothing we can do for you. Thank you Doctors
Nutritional therapy for eye disorders is for real
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Drs. Marc and Michael Rose, Los Angeles ophthalmologists, share the secrets of nutritional therapy they have been offering patients for years. While these doctors provide technically advanced eye care (lasers, lens implants), nutritional therapy takes no back seat here. Macular degeneration doesn't always progress, it can regress, often with the help of a good nutritional regimen. To SAVE YOUR SIGHT, read this book.
