Remember having copied this some time back from someone´s posting here on CZ about a macular degeneration cure. Here it is and I´m hoping it can be of some help!:

Harry Marsland feared he would lose his sight completely after developing dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) – a condition responsible for half of all cases of blindness in this country.

AMD had claimed the sight in his right eye and the 73-year-old’s vision had become so bad that he could not get around without the help of his wife. He was even considering learning Braille, fearing that his left eye would follow the same fate.

However, after trying various treatments to no avail, Mr Marsland finally decided to experiment taking a vitamin supplement containing extracts from the orange flowers.

Within months of taking the taking the capsules, which are not available on the NHS, he regained vision in his left eye.

Mr Marsland, from Oundle, Northants, said: “I now know, professionally, that I have recovered almost completely from the effects of the dry AMD in my left eye. I am the first person to have such good fortune.

“I have recovered 95 per cent of the sight in my left eye which is miraculous, considering that at one point I was literally blind in the dark."

The improvement in his sight has allowed Mr Marsland to drive a car again and enjoy reading without the aid of a magnifying glass.

He lost vision in his right eye in 2001 to wet AMD, a more severe form of the condition, and since then also began suffering problems with his left eye.

Mr Marsland had tried an experimental laser treatment – photo dynamic therapy – and various vitamin preparations – including Visionace, Vita-Lux plus, I. Caps and PreserVision, without success.




But in 2007, his ophthalmologist handed him a leaflet he had picked up at a conference, extolling the benefits of a supplement containing marigolds – called Macushield.

He decided to try it, spending £150 on a year’s supply and was shocked by its effectiveness.

Mr Marsland said he believes it could offer hope to millions of AMD sufferers.

He added: “I decided to this off my own back. I treated myself, which is the very thing you’re not supposed to do in any profession.

“As a retired professional, I feel a responsibility to get this message across to as many people as possible.”

Macushield contains lutein, found in spinach, and zeaxanthin, the yellow pigment found in corn – both of which are used in other treatments. It also contains meso-zeaxanthin, derived from marigolds, which was a nutrient Mr Marsland had not tried before.

Dry age-related macular degeneration happens when light-sensitive cells in the macula slowly break down and sufferers experience a gradual loss of central vision and a fading of colours. It is the most common cause of blindness in the over-60s............................

Wet macular degeneration can be treated with Oraya Therapy and Selective Photothermolysis - a laser kills pigment- (i.e.: lipofuscin-) rich cells, leaving healthy cells to multiply and fill in the gaps, and a recent drug removes lipofuscin from retinal pigment epithelial cells - new treatment for dry age-related macular degeneration

Dr. Robert O. Hill, (University of Oregon Medical School). showed drops of 50% DMSO to be effective in retinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration

National Eye Institute says high intake of vitamins C & E, melatonin, beta-carotene, zinc and copper reduce risk of macular degeneration

R-ALA protects against cataract, improves visual function in glaucoma, helps prevents retinal cell death when combined with vitamin E in retinitis pigmentosa

selenium / astaxanthin is best antioxidant for eye health / meriva (a form of turmeric29x better absorbed)

Preserve Mac Forte (supplement)

To improve bloodflow to eyes, gingko biloba extract may help

Melatonin aids macular degeneration

MSM help cells absorb nutrients

Eylea (drug) for wet Macular Degeneration

Micro-current stimulation (MCS) can stop progress of Macular Degeneration (MD) and REVERSE it. Effective on both forms of MD, MCS is more effective on dry form, applying low intensity electrical signals to the eye. It's painless, and takes only minutes once or twice daily. MD sufferers have 30% less blood flow to the retina. MCS significantly increases blood flow to the eyes and provides improvement in 60% of MD sufferers.

Townsend Letter for Doctors & Patients reported on eye disorders treated with MCS. A study of 114 subjects was conducted by Grace Halloran, Ph.D. Of 18 patients with MD, 16 improved. 62 of 78 patients with Retinitis Pigmentosa improved; and 16 of 18 persons with various retinopathies improved. To learn about MCS and MD, visit Dr. Edward Kondrot’s website or read his book Microcurrent Stimulation: Miracle Eye Cure?

University of Southampton said stem cells from the corneal limbus (even from patients in their 90's) can act like photoreceptor cells to treat age-related macular degeneration

Dry AMD - Lampalizumab, as eye injection, reduced progression of dry AMD up to 44%. Another option is the iolAMD lens.

Wet AMD - injections into the eye seal leaking blood vessels to stop problem worsening and sometimes improving vision. Patients need 4-8 injections a year for life.

The drugs Lucentis, Avastin and Eylea, inhibit proteins called Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), which causes abnormal blood vessels growth. Injections must be given within weeks of symptoms to be effective (Eylea may need fewer jabs).

2 drugs trialed, Fovista and DARPin, 'may be more potent,' says Simon Kelly, ophthalmic surgeon at Royal Bolton Hospital.

Oraya's IRAY, uses low voltage X-ray beams to stop abnormal blood vessels growth, reduce inflammation and scarring. A trial at King's College Hospital London found it reduces the number of injections needed.
