Update: Macular Degeneration

It was last year I was diagnosed with Macular Degeneration (Dry). This is a terrible diagnosis and one I should never have gotten at my age. I can not being to explain fully what it is so I suggest these websites for a deeper understanding:
Aging Eye
LEF-MD Protocol

Of course there are many other websites out there that I could have listed but those two are really good! And what I used to change my diagnosis.

I thought I was so smart, going in for a consultation at a Lasix Center here. I have always wanted Lasix so I was pretty excited at this free opportunity. To make a long story short a routine exam showed what are called "Drusen"  or floaters in my eyes specifically my macula. Hence the name Macula Degeneration or AMD or MD for short (Age-related Macular Degeneration). The doctors, called me in a private room, did an additional testing on me and said I needed to come in tomorrow and see the specialist. That was scarey.

I have to say I went home, and fell into a pity party, fearful of what might happen (go blind), and cried!  I was suppose to go in the next morning but I decided to postpone. Lets be real I was just afraid of what they would say! So for a few weeks after my pity party - I prayed, and started to educate myself real quick. I just could not comprehend why this was happening to me now. I now know why.

I AM NOT RECOMMEDING THIS FOR YOU!  ONLY THAT IT WORKED FOR ME:

After finding out the deeper root of why MD can happen and understanding what Drusen really is caused by especially free radicals, no lutein, etc. We must take antioxidants! Anyways I decided - prayerfully decided to take a year and really seriously take recommended vitamins, minerals supplements, hormones, etc for eye health. I took it all from http://www.lef.org/ (Life Extension): http://www.lef.org/protocols/eye_ear/macular_degeneration_02.htm

■Super Zeaxanthin with Lutein and Meso-zeaxanthin

■Lipoic acid
■Taurine
■Coenzyme Q10
■Life Extension Mix
■Life Extension Booster
■Super EPA/DHA w/ Sesame Lignans (or Xymogen Omega 600/780) I took Super but then switched to Xymogen

LONG STORY SHORT - LAST MONTH I WENT TO AN OPTHOMOLOGIST FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE MY MD DIAGNOSIS. AFTER EXTENSIVE TESTING FROM A VERY GOOD DOCTOR I SAW FOR MYSELF PICTURES OF MY EYEBALLS/MACUALA/ ETC AND WELL....I DO NOT HAVE MACULAR DEGENERATION EITHER THE DRY OR THE WET!!! ☺IT IS JUST GONE. DRUSEN GONE, FLOATERS GONE!

PRAYING & BELIEVING, AND THEN DOING WHAT YOU FEEL YOU ARE BEING LED TO DO, WHICH FOR ME WAS SUPPLEMENTING - IT WORKS!! THERE IS HOPE!!
Thank You God!!!
