5 NATURAL Ways to Prevent And Treat Macular Degeneration

I have Wet AMD in both eyes. The left eye has advanced and I have vision loss. Ocular injections seem to be helping my right eye be more stable and have slowed the vision loss on the left. My job has me working on screens 10 hours or more a day. I don't drive any longer if I have any errands to run farther than 10 minutes from my house. I do have distorted vision and I can't recognize faces readily anymore when people are walking toward me. I am also an artist so this has been terrifying for me but I am adapting well. The upside is that I have been predominately on the Mediterranean diet for many years - with the exception of eliminating gluten due to a sensitivity and avoiding all soy due to an allergy - so it could be much worse - and my doctor has me on AREDS 2. Losing the vision and living alone have been challenging but I am coping relatively well. This is something I never expected in my early 50s, but I am not going to let it stop me.

I'm 63 , and was recently diagnosed with the on start of Macular Degeneration , thank you so much for this information Dr. Allen

How odd, I’ve been plant based for 6 years, I’m 66yo, just recently added CrossFit to my daily 4mi trail run, decided to add fatty fish (sardines and salmon) and fish oil epa/dha supplements to my diet for brain health (and extra protein to fight off sarcopenia) .. seems I should have known what’s good for the brain is good for the eye. Better to be lucky than right.

My husband has this Wet AMD. It's terrible having injections in the eye. We still in it. The right eye is almost lost & the doctor is battling to save the left eye. We're praying for the medication to work so that he doesn't go blind completely. Thank you so much Dr for this useful information.

Thank you for the updated information,

My mom has it. And it's bad. She is scared of completely getting blind. I really wish there would be cure. 💘 I am hoping I don't inherit it.

YOU are amazing !!!... you are an excellent teacher, explain everything so well... you are a blessing to us all... I thank you from the bottom of my heart and the back of my eyes !! 👏

God bless you,dear Dr,I appreciate you all the advice you give us,Ohhhhhh!!! I wish to be your patient, keep it up!!!

Great presentation very very good of you to address these issues. My father has MD at an advanced stage so now I understand quite a bit more about his condition. I also forwarded your broadcast onto him so he could listen to your clear & concise professional video hoping that some of your information may be helpful. I do appreciate very much your video & I thank you very much, keep up the great work 👍 Kind regards from Australia 🇦🇺

Thank u so much for this important information❤

Excellent and I have a medical background and found this to be a very detailed and thorough but simple enough to understand and I appreciate your honesty and humility and continuing passion to learn. Rcently diagnosed with dry MD and the beginning of a cataract so I was terrified because my doctor was so terrible at presenting the news, prognosis or treatment. For years I've had a very healthy lifestyle, took lots supplements and even those eye ones in the past, Mediterranean diet, exercise, meditate etc ... BUT I have had extreme stress in my life and I hate sunglasses and look at phone and computer screens a lot for work and leisure and as a traveling photographer doing many edits. Those are the only two factors I suspect contributing to it and it makes sense to me so I would advise everyone to be cautious (and blue screen light is bad for you anyway and we'll keep you awake at night). And I've also learned from Dr Andrew Huberman, a neuroscientist and eye specialist, not to have your eyes so centrally focused so much but to use the peripheral vision a lot more and exercise all parts of the eye throughout the day.

Thank u so much for putting photos in your presentation

Macular degeneration didn't exist much before 1900. It was the addition of processed "seed" oils to our diet that is the foundation for macular degeneration. Macular degeneration increased at the same trajectory as the increase of macular degeneration over the last 100 years. Now we look at it as "common". Any amount of seed oil is toxic to the body. You will find out how bad the situation is when you seek to eliminate this from your diet. It is in almost everything!

Benn getting eye injections for a couple of years now; they seem to help on a temporary basis. However today I have learnt more from you than all the visits to my eye specialist.

I'm 87 years old and 8 years ago I had DMD and began taking 2 Vitalux tabs per day. Two years ago it went to WMD since then I've started with injections every 4 weeks, and then I was given a new injection recently developed, and eventually progressed to 6 then 8 and now it is every 10 weeks. The new one is vabysmo, I am thankful for increasing medication work. Thank you for your blogs.

Catching you on a replay from Arizona.

I am 54 yrs old, i acquired md on my right eye 2 yrs ago. I can say i live a healthy and active life so it baffles me a lot why i suffer from this disease. I asked the doctors i consulted with and they were not able provide me any probable cause why. They said i was just unlucky. What the heck.
