Dry Macular Degeneration was detected in 1 eye. I take high doses of lutein (50mg) and zeaxanthin (10mg) daily and omega 3 fish oil 🎉48,000mg daily and do carnivore diet. My retina specialist said the dry macular degeneration is no longer detectable. I see her every 3 months. It has been gone for the last 6 months. My Diet consists of eggs, fatty fish, beef, occasionally pork and small amounts of chicken
I just read on another channel a doctor saying that high doses of Zeaxanthin made a difference. I’ll bet both Lutein and that in high doses is a good idea.
I have it, the first time it was diagnosed back when I was 26. I'm 43 now and after a few surgeries it's back again. I am not scared or terrified, I know it'll get better for me. If nothing good happens then so be it.
Good afternoon. I reside in Redmond, Oregon, and even though I have a very good optomatrist, I wouldn't mind you being in 2nd place. Thank you so much for the info in this video. You have been very helpful. More helpful than any eye doctor I had been to in the past 18 years. I do have macolar Degeration, for a fact. Before I finally found my current eye doctor, I had been to a few others, and I have to say, they would all say you are a quack. Thay are the quacks. I was always told, nothing more can be done for me, except a stronger Rx. They are all old-school eye doctors, too. Modern advances in treating macular degeration isn't possible, they will say. I know they are all wrong. Thank you again for everything.
It doesn’t scare me. It’s inherited in my family. I’m 83 and just now diagnosed. It’s dry, but it can easily go into wet. My wonderful eye doctor has me on vitamins and has me on every three month visit. My family had e tremendous dry eye problems and I use the prescribed drops many times a day. I wear sunglasses whenever I go outside and also in grocery stores. Walmarts lights make me dizzy. It’s what it is. I eat the greens and love them with lots of garlic. Thank you for your videos.❤
Omega 3 fish oil..green leafy vegetable smoothies, kale, spinach, eggs, red and yellow capsicum etc. Cannot reverse but may slow down the progress. Vitamin C , Vitamin E, Vitamin A Indian goose berry and orange carrot juice mixed together once a day. You can try.
🙏 for your knowledge and helpful honesty! 😅👍 I started doing some resrarch tonight and I found another video before yours who was tecommending to do the very opposite you are advising and also what I believe makes logical sense! Weareas, you advice pritecting the eyes with a good brand of sunglasses, unbelievably he was recommending staring at the sun in the morning before sun rise or sun set! Also suggesting to put acid fruit drops into your eyes, becauses the sting with make you cry and cleanse the eye. Whilst, Vitamin D is important for health, also shielding your eyes and face from its dangerous effects is equally important. Some other stuff this dr suggested sounded alarming!
Had my diabetic eye screening a week ago l got the results today and this condition came up in the early stages l'm type 2 diabetic tablet and diet controlled blood sugars are pretty good l'm 53 years old love walks in countryside and volunteer twice a week in my local park l wear a cap or drimmed hat in summer factor 50 sun lotion and l have reactor light glasses l'm concerned about this.

I operated cranes for 32 years at night and at a height of 170 feet, in the cab where I sat. When I first started, I would force my vision a lot because of poor lighting; as the years went by the lighting improved ; which helped; but I think it took a toll on my eyesight. However, many times when working close to a ship, welders would strike their arcs without warning and many times it would hurt my eyes. Though I complained to safety, nothing was ever done to remedy the situation. I now suffer from AMD in one eye, although, I know of no one in my family who ever had this problem.
I have Amd in both eyes. Wet in the right eye. Dry in the left. I get shots on my right eye which really hadn't helped. I losing vision in both eyes. Driving can be hard. I also have COPD
I was for-warned because my father lost his vision and my sister has wet Armd. She is maintaining her vision with Eyelia injections Vabysmo injections did not improve her vision whatsoever
Just had a eye exam through the VA, i have noticed blurred vision for about 6-8 weeks, the symptoms happened fast. The pics of my eyes showed fluid build up at the back of the eye. In any case i am very concerned. I have all the symptoms mentioned in this video. I got refered to a eye specialist, in which i am schuled to see in two weeks. Being 59 years of age im surprised at whats going on. I have never had any serious eye trouble. Im a non smoker not diabetic no heredity history of this condition and take no meds of any kind. The eye doctor was perplexed to see that i have this condition. Any feedback as to what i should do to slow down the condition would be greatly appreciated. Great video and content. Will try the dietary advise.

I am 75yo. I take omega capsules (my Dr recommended these over fish oil bc of mercury in fish). I also eat blueberries daily (antioxidants help w AMD). After using reading glasses for 40 yrs, I no longer need them.
My mom has Macular Degeneration. I eat Org Spinach , Kale or Swiss Chard 4-5x week in my smoothies. I’m a Pescatarian so I do eat eat weekly. Do drink red wine 1-2 x week.
How do we know what a “good brand” of sunglasses is? I see three ophthalmologists at Stanford, and all three are adamant that there is no scientific evidence for blue light damaging vision. Lots of speculation, but no hard evidence.
I thought this was going to be about "treatment" for macular degeneration. Prevention is great, but what about treatment if you already have macular degeneration. Can these thing reverse the condition?
Yes there's treatment for WET RMD. I have been going through treatment for 2 mos. now. They are injections in my eye. The eye is frozen so no pain whatsoever. Very tolerable.
@@jenifersouthard1550 I’ve been getting injections for WET AMD every six weeks for over a year. They slow down the progression, but there is no way to reverse damage that is already done. That’s why it’s important to get diagnosed early.
My brother is going blind from macular degeneration. He is 78 years old and all alone in a nursing home in Arizona. He has no one and is very lonely. I am 81 and in Texas and cannot visit him. He has always been afraid of going blind and now it is happening to him while he’s all alone. It is breaking my heart. I’m so sad it’s been till he’s been told that there’s nothing that can be done for him, I think it’s pretty far advanced. He can still see a little bit on the sides please can anyone help him can we be helped? It’s breaking my heart.
areds 2 was paid for by thee industry with small sample. my eye specialist scolded me when i told him i was taking zexanthin, shrimp and yellow veggies instead. asked if he had stock in areds. ja ja i scuba dove for years without sunglasses for years, silly me.
I do no smoke and never have and I am not obese. I exercise daily. My eye doc says I have Drusen. Which he says can develop into macular degeneration. I am now taking supplements.
I know this video is 3 years old, but I still feel the need to refute your description of AMD. i have the advanced form of AMD called geographic atrophy and I still can see quite a bit. There is no black spot in the middle of my vision because my brain is able to fill in much of the field of vision I have lost. I do have trouble with faces until I am pretty close but I was able to see your face on the video quite well. Normally, faces are just s skin colored blur until I'm close to the person. I can no long read regular print easily but I usually can with a magnifier. I am able to read on my iPad at the largest font setting. There are also talking books for the blind and visually impaired that are totally free and usually administered by a nearby library. I'm saying this because I feel your description was very frightening for people. AMD is not devastating but it does require an adjustment to how you do things. Not being able to drive is one of the biggest adjustments but there are alternative forms of transportation. There are also adaptive technology devices, support groups and low vision clinics that can help you cope. I was diagnosed with AMD more than 10 years ago and I am leading a very independent and fulfilling life.
Interesting. I am good on everything but the red wine (recovered alcoholic). I was diagnosed with drusen at 27. You didn't mention wet vs. dry (can't have wet w/o dry) and only about 10/% of AMD patients get "wet". It's refreshing to see solid advice about prevention rather than the many BS claims of cures. I've had over 70 anti VEGF injections, have geographic atrophy and am legally blind. My first hemorrhage was at age 50. In my case it's a strong genetic link but your advice sounds solid even for people like me. The pigment thing made me think of a close childhood friend who has been blind since college from retinitis pigmentosa. Probably not related but it did trigger the thought. Thanks again for putting up responsible video. Oh, the current Henry Winkler ads (he's supposed to be a really nice guy) are not the public service oriented ads you might think. They are done by the pharmaceutical company that has recently released a drug that is touted as being the first treat for dry AMD (Does seem to cause vasulitis in about 8% of patients)
First question is if you've been told you actually have it or if you have drusen, which is often associated with it as a precursor. Hopefully the latter. Only about 10% of people who have dry have wet. If you do have dry there's a good chance you will never have the wet form. I hope that's the case although you can still lose all of your central vision to the cry form. Injection frequency depends on the ongoing evaluation of both of your eyes individually as well as the type of medication being injected. The older ones tend to be needed more frequently but never more than once per 30 days for each eye. As long as you don't develop the wet version you don't need to worry about it. The current injections are only used for treatment of wet. There is one exception but it's in its very erly days. @@badreddinegacem
Soorry, not familiar with the latter. I've had over 70 injections and they're not nearly as bad as they sound, especially with the right doc. I've had them from four different ones and the discomfort (medical word for pain) varies between them. Plus just from time to time. My current guy is great. Good luck@@badreddinegacem
Im 22 and got diagnosed with this they said they cant do anything and left me with it my family also doesn't understand how i feel im so scared since I've so much too see idk what to do please help me 🙏😭
I've already been diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy / macular edema I'm looking for information of how to treat it naturally. My blood sugar is already under control and has been for 14 months in my blood pressure is good. I've lost 140 lb in 18 years and I'm physically fit from bicycling. I lowered my A1C so fast that I think maybe I experienced what they call early worsening. So I've already done the parts that are probably the hardest for people getting this diagnosis but now I want to know what can I do to naturally reverse it and stop it.
Thank you for the tips on how to treat macular degeneration naturally. My eye doctor stated that he does not know whether I have it because he has only seen me once. I have been diagnosed with cataracts. Does "Sight Care," a supplement that is supposed to reverse both conditions work?
My dad went through 2 yrs of painful injections to supposedly help his macular degeneration - Avastin only left him with permanent scarring.. which the scareing from reaction to Avastin ledt my dad blind …. Now not sure anything can be done… :(*
thanks so much! I am currently getting a needle jabbed in my eye every 5 weeks, so needless to say I would love nothing more than to find a natural cure for my Macular Edema
There is not a cure just prevention of progression. If someone has progressed to the more severe Wet form of macular degeneration where they have edema/new blood vessel growth that leaks fluid into the retina, there is NO DATA to suggest sunglasses and stopping smoking are gonna just “treat” or resolve that. Injections of Anti-VEGF medications are a more recent and vision saving therapy. They prevent further growth of new blood vessels into the retina that aren’t supposed to be their which then leak fluid into the retina cause all manner of issues and in time may cause blindness. The injections are meant to stop this new and unwanted vessel growth so your body can HOPEFULLY reabsorb the fluid and prevent more severe vision loss/blindness if treated in a more timely manner. Recommendations in this video will not cure AMD nor stop the growth of new blood vessels or leaking fluid into the eye that occur in Wet Macular Degeneration. Please, Please, PLEASE don’t stop your treatment with a retinal specialist because this video says eat leafy greens and wear UV protection while you avoid smoking. Consult your retinal specialist before you defer treatment due to this video. Again, I’m not an MD nor OD but I’m in the room every single day taking their notes and they’d be appalled by someone stopping treatment by assuming this video entails a “cure” due to the creator’s loose use of the word “treatment” or any implied benefits beyond preventing progression of your condition. Language matters…and when people misunderstand their medical diagnosis or the wrong language gets used resulting in misunderstandings, it can make the difference between preserving vision or blindness in this example. The creator of this video should take the above person’s statement as a testament to the potential harm their lack of clear language can have. If I stopped treatment because of your video and went blind, I’d take you to court in a heartbeat for misleading me to think these suggestions would treat/cure my condition. Whether the case would come out in the patient’s favor vs the video creator is debatable. However, the video creator has a moral, medical, and legal obligation to not cause harm by how they represent these preventative measures.
Hi Joel Hayden I noticed this video is from 3 years ago....I read studies lately that the vitamins Preserv Areds 2 contains 80 mg of Zinc that is too much and can actually make the eyesight worse instead of better on some people... Do you have any updated information for those who already have been diagnosed with (AMD) Age-related Macular Degeneration?
Dear dr of md of eyes disease your advice received thank you I want to ask two more questions I received md shock 6 years back now can I take light jogging exercise No 2 how much protein intake please reply
this is wonderful sharing. my sister, in good health, has Macular Degeneration. She is treated on a schedule when a needle is inserted into her eyes. I am aware of Ayurvedic healing systems. can You please list any references on this practice and this healing protocols. thank you for this.
@@erlindafernando8868don't fall prey to such promises of complete cure with other medical alternative medicine. Homeopathy / ayurveda even promise to bring a blind man his sight back. Please be well informed you are in the internet. Be judicious. Natural change to healthy life style is good as in this you tube video, but not alternate medicine. They are not even FDA approved or even tested for side effects
@@karlahuntsman5646 sincere request do not fall for ayurveda or homeopathy just like that. Big claims are made then later when things go downhill they will refer you to an eye surgeon People will charge you a bomb for something worth a penny to exploit your fear.
Thank you for all your information I just came with macular degeneration I'm afraid because doctor is going to start putting injections into my eye in 2 weeks is scary because my mother got from getting injections on her eyes I'm really confused on what do is ver frustrating n stressful 😢
I am hoping you can do a video for people who need to restore eyesight for instance people worth chm choroideremia retinitis pigmentosa people who have had the Gene mutated to unmutated or repair a mutated Gene to restore eyesight any information like monatomic gold colloidal gold pomegranate anything at all would be very grateful thank you
@@heatheral-hammadi3046 nothing no natural treatment holistic homoeopathic naturopathic or stem cell hopefully there has got to be something out there what about epigenetics I have chm it is a little bit more rare than retinitis pigmentosa hopeless speech to text works and hope something happens soon as they I say to restriction as not very nice to live with and put so much restrictions on one's life
Good topic but how much do you spent monthly coz. Am a senior cit. No work. No pension. How can I help myself without spending too much monthly 😅😅😅 pls reply
The doctor here may disagree, but I’m gonna give us a resounding no to that. It actually takes a lot to build up these two nutrients in your macula. I have been measured with an instrument before and because this is something I’ve worked very diligently on. I had a very good concentration of these cartinoids
I'm 22 and got to know i have macular dystrophy What should i do now is there any treatment to cure though my doctor said there isn't any effective treatment for this disease
Same here.. and I don't know why it happened even the doctors are not sure that may be it could be cured or not. Do you find any beneficial treatment or has it been cured for you..??
Dr. Joel whatya think my wife has Wet Macular pretty bad not to the point where she can't function , but she's being told in 2 years or less she won't be able to drive much which is devastating to a very active youthful 63 year old that she is . will the Omega-3 / Resveratrol / & any of the 3 supplements you mentioned , help slow it down to a crawl ?
With active macular degeneration, I would have her take the Areds 2 formula of Preservision. Then add both resveratrol and CoQ10. That is probably the best you can do, but as we know protecting the better eye is everything. Hope this helped.
@@JoelHayden well the problem is it’s both eyes , but she doesn’t have a blacked out spot in the middle of her eyes yet , do You know where tbat would put her at in the progression ? God bless you and thank u 🙏
Yes, but take food based vitamins. Eat a diet of leafy greens, and foods rich in beta carotene and healthy fats. Organic pasture raised eggs and wild caught fish. And reduce stress. Stress affects vision dramatically Regular meditation and calming movement like yoga or qi gong - all avail on yt for free - are wonderful stress relievers and calming for the nervous system. Drink plenty of water and reduce foods that cause inflammation - processed foods, trans fats, and refined sugars.
Ok. I have it. That would be a better video. Prevention is one thing. But treating it is different. I do not smoke. I eat organic and vegetarian for 50 years. and I have great sun glasses.
Eye exercises and nutrients reversed AMD that began 4yrs ago. I still get floaters but AMD is removed. Eye exercises are not hard, you just have to do them.✌️💖👍
@@sjc3426 Yes it does work. I was a CDL Driver and it began and I had an eye exam and was told I had the beginning of AMD. I was told nothing can be done about it. So I researched everything I could find out and learned it can be done so I did it. EyeExercises 2-3x daily and take all individual nutrients that can be constructive to my macula. It took 4 and a half mos and my sight got better but I do have what's called garbage in my vision floaters and such. I have been doing as I tell you for 6years and have my eyesight. My job was extremely dangerous but I had to apply myself and heal my eyes. I do eye exercises daily to keep my vision. The exercises are not hard it's actually easy you just have to do them. Google it and take an interest in helping yourself. You be patient but get right to it. I'm 67 and cherish my vision.😉 They maybe on the verge of medicine that'll fix it. Google it!
Yes I have and you possibly can too. I have to do eye exercises daily sometimes twice daily. I take lutein, vita-A and eat a lot of green veggies. Google it for more info to do it. They are close to giving medical shots in the affected eyes. My vision has floaters but that's the worst of it for the last four years.
@@deit291 My mistake I'm not getting any shots. I healed my eyes and I'm encouraging others to try so also. Four years ago I was told by eye Doc there's nothing THEY CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT IT but didn't encourage me to try myself. I was stressfully determined to heal my eyes and did so without a bogus Doctors Fuking help.✌️

I do have trouble with faces until I am pretty close but I was able to see your face on the video quite well. Normally, faces are just s skin colored blur until I'm close to the person. I can no long read regular print easily but I usually can with a magnifier. I am able to read on my iPad at the largest font setting. There are also talking books for the blind and visually impaired that are totally free and usually administered by a nearby library. I'm saying this because I feel your description was very frightening for people. AMD is not devastating but it does require an adjustment to how you do things. Not being able to drive is one of the biggest adjustments but there are alternative forms of transportation. There are also adaptive technology devices, support groups and low vision clinics that can help you cope. I was diagnosed with AMD more than 10 years ago and I am leading a very independent and fulfilling life.
Thanks for the encouragement! You rock and I’m glad you posted❤
Interesting. I am good on everything but the red wine (recovered alcoholic). I was diagnosed with drusen at 27. You didn't mention wet vs. dry (can't have wet w/o dry) and only about 10/% of AMD patients get "wet". It's refreshing to see solid advice about prevention rather than the many BS claims of cures. I've had over 70 anti VEGF injections, have geographic atrophy and am legally blind. My first hemorrhage was at age 50. In my case it's a strong genetic link but your advice sounds solid even for people like me. The pigment thing made me think of a close childhood friend who has been blind since college from retinitis pigmentosa. Probably not related but it did trigger the thought. Thanks again for putting up responsible video. Oh, the current Henry Winkler ads (he's supposed to be a really nice guy) are not the public service oriented ads you might think. They are done by the pharmaceutical company that has recently released a drug that is touted as being the first treat for dry AMD (Does seem to cause vasulitis in about 8% of patients)
I have cnv, and im only 22. Tell me about the frequency of those injections!
First question is if you've been told you actually have it or if you have drusen, which is often associated with it as a precursor. Hopefully the latter. Only about 10% of people who have dry have wet. If you do have dry there's a good chance you will never have the wet form. I hope that's the case although you can still lose all of your central vision to the cry form. Injection frequency depends on the ongoing evaluation of both of your eyes individually as well as the type of medication being injected. The older ones tend to be needed more frequently but never more than once per 30 days for each eye. As long as you don't develop the wet version you don't need to worry about it. The current injections are only used for treatment of wet. There is one exception but it's in its very erly days. @@badreddinegacem
@rickmilam413 I have myopic macular degeneration, and he also mentioned fuchs spot, He told me I'll need 3 inections over 3 months! @rickmilam413
@@rickmilam413 I'm kinda worried tbh
Soorry, not familiar with the latter. I've had over 70 injections and they're not nearly as bad as they sound, especially with the right doc. I've had them from four different ones and the discomfort (medical word for pain) varies between them. Plus just from time to time. My current guy is great. Good luck@@badreddinegacem
No mention of avoiding seed oils...
Im 22 and got diagnosed with this they said they cant do anything and left me with it my family also doesn't understand how i feel im so scared since I've so much too see idk what to do please help me 🙏😭
I've already been diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy / macular edema I'm looking for information of how to treat it naturally. My blood sugar is already under control and has been for 14 months in my blood pressure is good. I've lost 140 lb in 18 years and I'm physically fit from bicycling. I lowered my A1C so fast that I think maybe I experienced what they call early worsening. So I've already done the parts that are probably the hardest for people getting this diagnosis but now I want to know what can I do to naturally reverse it and stop it.
I found out I have the gene for MD through 23/me several years ago. It has just showed up this year
well, I am screwed, I already have it
Thank you for the tips on how to treat macular degeneration naturally. My eye doctor stated that he does not know whether I have it because he has only seen me once. I have been diagnosed with cataracts. Does "Sight Care," a supplement that is supposed to reverse both conditions work?
Very helpful. Many thanks
My dad went through 2 yrs of painful injections to supposedly help his macular degeneration - Avastin only left him with permanent scarring.. which the scareing from reaction to Avastin ledt my dad blind ….
Now not sure anything can be done… :(*
thanks so much! I am currently getting a needle jabbed in my eye every 5 weeks, so needless to say I would love nothing more than to find a natural cure for my Macular Edema
There is not a cure just prevention of progression. If someone has progressed to the more severe Wet form of macular degeneration where they have edema/new blood vessel growth that leaks fluid into the retina, there is NO DATA to suggest sunglasses and stopping smoking are gonna just “treat” or resolve that. Injections of Anti-VEGF medications are a more recent and vision saving therapy. They prevent further growth of new blood vessels into the retina that aren’t supposed to be their which then leak fluid into the retina cause all manner of issues and in time may cause blindness. The injections are meant to stop this new and unwanted vessel growth so your body can HOPEFULLY reabsorb the fluid and prevent more severe vision loss/blindness if treated in a more timely manner. Recommendations in this video will not cure AMD nor stop the growth of new blood vessels or leaking fluid into the eye that occur in Wet Macular Degeneration. Please, Please, PLEASE don’t stop your treatment with a retinal specialist because this video says eat leafy greens and wear UV protection while you avoid smoking. Consult your retinal specialist before you defer treatment due to this video. Again, I’m not an MD nor OD but I’m in the room every single day taking their notes and they’d be appalled by someone stopping treatment by assuming this video entails a “cure” due to the creator’s loose use of the word “treatment” or any implied benefits beyond preventing progression of your condition. Language matters…and when people misunderstand their medical diagnosis or the wrong language gets used resulting in misunderstandings, it can make the difference between preserving vision or blindness in this example. The creator of this video should take the above person’s statement as a testament to the potential harm their lack of clear language can have. If I stopped treatment because of your video and went blind, I’d take you to court in a heartbeat for misleading me to think these suggestions would treat/cure my condition. Whether the case would come out in the patient’s favor vs the video creator is debatable. However, the video creator has a moral, medical, and legal obligation to not cause harm by how they represent these preventative measures.
There is no “natural cure.” Injections can slow it’s progress, but nothing can reverse damage already done.
Take information about DMSO.
Cool video thanks.
I am certainly listening to you
Hi Joel Hayden I noticed this video is from 3 years ago....I read studies lately that the vitamins Preserv Areds 2 contains 80 mg of Zinc that is too much and can actually make the eyesight worse instead of better on some people...
Do you have any updated information for those who already have been diagnosed with (AMD) Age-related Macular Degeneration?
Dear dr of md of eyes disease your advice received thank you I want to ask two more questions I received md shock 6 years back now can I take light jogging exercise
No 2 how much protein intake please reply
IN AYURVEDIC THERE IS GOOD TREATMENT FOR MACULAR DEGENERATION WET. IT CAN BE REVERSED EASILY. FROM SOUTH INDIA
this is wonderful sharing. my sister, in good health, has Macular Degeneration. She is treated on a schedule when a needle is inserted into her eyes. I am aware of Ayurvedic
healing systems. can You please list any references on this practice and this healing protocols. thank you for this.
I am a new diagnosed wet macular degeneration, very scared, May I know what are those treatment and where to buy them? Thank you.
@@erlindafernando8868don't fall prey to such promises of complete cure with other medical alternative medicine. Homeopathy / ayurveda even promise to bring a blind man his sight back. Please be well informed you are in the internet. Be judicious. Natural change to healthy life style is good as in this you tube video, but not alternate medicine. They are not even FDA approved or even tested for side effects
Yes, please share where to get more information!
@@karlahuntsman5646 sincere request do not fall for ayurveda or homeopathy just like that. Big claims are made then later when things go downhill they will refer you to an eye surgeon
People will charge you a bomb for something worth a penny to exploit your fear.
Thank you for all your information I just came with macular degeneration I'm afraid because doctor is going to start putting injections into my eye in 2 weeks is scary because my mother got from getting injections on her eyes I'm really confused on what do is ver frustrating n stressful 😢
Your mother got what from the injection. And hey how did ur first treatment go.
I hav bee n diagnosed with dry Macular Degeneration. I care for my husband who is permenantly bedridden. Any advice is welcome.
I have ARMD. MY MOM HAD IT & now my eldest son has it!
I never smoked & neither did my mom or son & yet all three of us had/have it. Always wore the best prescription sunglasses.
God help and heal your family
Vitamin A is also very important. 💜
Too much vitamin A is toxic.
Yep, I got it. Tried taking Areds 2 and it destroyed my stomach.
It’s the zinc that dose that. Look for a formula that has less than 80mg of zinc! 👍🏼
My uncle got it in his 80s and probably did all 4 things.
What’s best vitamins for macular Degeneration ❤
I was just diagnosed with CME. Any recommendations for treating this?
I am hoping you can do a video for people who need to restore eyesight for instance people worth chm choroideremia retinitis pigmentosa people who have had the Gene mutated to unmutated or repair a mutated Gene to restore eyesight any information like monatomic gold colloidal gold pomegranate anything at all would be very grateful thank you
There is no current treatment for retinitis pigmentosa
@@heatheral-hammadi3046 nothing no natural treatment holistic homoeopathic naturopathic or stem cell hopefully there has got to be something out there what about epigenetics I have chm it is a little bit more rare than retinitis pigmentosa hopeless speech to text works and hope something happens soon as they I say to restriction as not very nice to live with and put so much restrictions on one's life
Humans are supposed to get their antioxidants from grounding/earthing (being barefoot on grass, soil).
Good topic but how much do you spent monthly coz. Am a senior cit. No work. No pension. How can I help myself without spending too much monthly 😅😅😅 pls reply
Hi Dr. Hayden, I have cscr, is there any home remedy that can help?
Thank you, i have subscribed, waiting for your videos.
taurine ?
IS IT POSSIBLE TO EAT TOO MUCH LUTEIN AND ZEAXANTHINE?
The doctor here may disagree, but I’m gonna give us a resounding no to that. It actually takes a lot to build up these two nutrients in your macula. I have been measured with an instrument before and because this is something I’ve worked very diligently on. I had a very good concentration of these cartinoids
Thank you very much
@Joel Hayden how do you feel about those injections given at retinology? I quit going!
I had to stop those terrible shots too!! Hope you are doing better. Blessings
I’m reading your comment I am taking those awful injections also
Thank you.
You are welcome!
I'm 22 and got to know i have macular dystrophy
What should i do now is there any treatment to cure though my doctor said there isn't any effective treatment for this disease
Same here.. and I don't know why it happened even the doctors are not sure that may be it could be cured or not.
Do you find any beneficial treatment or has it been cured for you..??
@@Hamid__786 any improvement brother
Great, thank you very much Dr Hayden 👍
Dr. Joel whatya think my wife has Wet Macular pretty bad not to the point where she can't function , but she's being told in 2 years or less she won't be able to drive much which is devastating to a very active youthful 63 year old that she is . will the Omega-3 / Resveratrol / & any of the 3 supplements you mentioned , help slow it down to a crawl ?
With active macular degeneration, I would have her take the Areds 2 formula of Preservision. Then add both resveratrol and CoQ10. That is probably the best you can do, but as we know protecting the better eye is everything. Hope this helped.
@@JoelHayden well the problem is it’s both eyes , but she doesn’t have a blacked out spot in the middle of her eyes yet , do
You know where tbat would put her at in the progression ? God bless you and thank u 🙏
Thank you for these insights
Il faut choisir la categorie qui doit etre 3
I have amd in both eyes. Left eye is dry and the right is wet. Do vitamins help
Yes, but take food based vitamins. Eat a diet of leafy greens, and foods rich in beta carotene and healthy fats. Organic pasture raised eggs and wild caught fish. And reduce stress. Stress affects vision dramatically Regular meditation and calming movement like yoga or qi gong - all avail on yt for free - are wonderful stress relievers and calming for the nervous system. Drink plenty of water and reduce foods that cause inflammation - processed foods, trans fats, and refined sugars.
And if you have malabsorption?
Does this help heal it tho?
I am experiencing it, in one eye, but do not "own" it...I believe in self healing.
I'm 51 y.o.and have NEVER smoked/ drank..but have AMD
I just had eye check up and the finding are really bad, they told me I had macular hole and cataract how to treat it, please help me
M 29 year old but its only me tht got flashes in eyes it scares me if i mbgoing to lose ny eyes is ths happening bcz of too much screentime?
It is very possible.
How could you wear a sunglas on your hand
Thanks
What about having to watch computer screens all day?.
Ok. I have it. That would be a better video. Prevention is one thing. But treating it is different.
I do not smoke. I eat organic and vegetarian for 50 years. and I have great sun glasses.
For peripheral hole?
Eye exercises and nutrients reversed AMD that began 4yrs ago. I still get floaters but AMD is removed. Eye exercises are not hard, you just have to do them.✌️💖👍
You actually reversed your AMD?
@@sjc3426
Yes it does work. I was a CDL Driver and it began and I had an eye exam and was told I had the beginning of AMD. I was told nothing can be done about it. So I researched everything I could find out and learned it can be done so I did it. EyeExercises 2-3x daily and take all individual nutrients that can be constructive to my macula. It took 4 and a half mos and my sight got better but I do have what's called garbage in my vision floaters and such. I have been doing as I tell you for 6years and have my eyesight. My job was extremely dangerous but I had to apply myself and heal my eyes. I do eye exercises daily to keep my vision. The exercises are not hard it's actually easy you just have to do them. Google it and take an interest in helping yourself. You be patient but get right to it. I'm 67 and cherish my vision.😉
They maybe on the verge of medicine that'll fix it.
Google it!
Yes I have and you possibly can too. I have to do eye exercises daily sometimes twice daily. I take lutein, vita-A and eat a lot of green veggies.
Google it for more info to do it. They are close to giving medical shots in the affected eyes. My vision has floaters but that's the worst of it for the last four years.
I don’t understand. If you reversed AMD, why are you close to getting eye injections?
@@deit291
My mistake I'm not getting any shots. I healed my eyes and I'm encouraging others to try so also. Four years ago I was told by eye Doc there's nothing THEY CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT IT but didn't encourage me to try myself. I was stressfully determined to heal my eyes and did so without a bogus Doctors Fuking help.✌️
you still have the old mac moniter
I already have it , now what?????
Super super video!!!!!
I didn’t hear carrots mentioned not one in this video which is weird knowing how much they help with this topic
I have read a lot as I have wet macular. Everything I have read says that carrots are of very little value.
Dr Berry, my favorite online MD, researched it.........carrots zero value.........fresh spinach, fatty fish, both good
