Save Your Sight!: Natural Ways to Prevent and Reverse Macular Degeneration

The authors seem to be knowledgeable and experienced in treatment of eye diseases, but this book was published in 1998. Admittedly, it was my own fault for not checking the publication date before ordering, but why have the authors never revised this book? Some of their recommendations seem sound, but medical research has moved on in the last 24 years. For example, they recommend taking beta-carotene to help your eyes. Research a few years ago revealed that beta-carotene could be dangerous for smokers and even ex-smokers.Authors, please revise and republish!

I absolutely Love this book. It is exactly what I have been looking for in my war with macular degeneration! I did not get in this mess overnight so I knew it would not be a quick fix. I believe in getting down to the origin of the problem and not just the symptoms . The chapters read:1. Your eyes are a window to your health2. How your eyes work3.The nutritional care and feeding of your eyes4. Preventing and healing macular degeneration5.Preventing and Healing Glaucoma6. Preventing and healing cataracts7. Preventing and healing diabetic ee disease8. Preventing and healing retinitis pigmentosa9. There is no good nutrition without good digestion10.Keeping your blood vessels strong11. Are your prescription drugs making you go blind12.Exercise your way to clear vision13.How to avoid Vision-Destroying toxins and cleanse your body of them14.Basic eye care15.Coping with vision lossNow I have hope because I have always believed that knowledge is power and with God's help All things are possible. Now it is just making it a habit with these new life style changes.I have already seen improvement by using his recommendation of borage oil for my dry eyes. I hope that you never do have this monster - but if you do now you can feel that you have some tools at your hand to help you. Just always remember that we are each individuals and have different results . My heart goes out to you..

This a very informative book on healthy nutrition, and how it can help one to save their sight. I have been told by eye doctors not worry about floaters, they just what happens as we get older. The writers tell that it is an early sign of the gel on the back of they eye not getting the right nutrients, and can start to pull away, which can be tear the retina, causing blindness. I have had the gel to start to pull away, (larger than normal floaters occurred along with flashes of light in the side vision). This caused me to see the eye doctor, and he told me this is something that happens with age too. But, thankfully I have learned what to do, thanks this book, to reverse this. Also learned from this book that I can possibly reverse the cataracts that have just started with me. I am taking the supplements and eating a lot of the recommended foods, and already seeing a difference, after a little over a month. I much rather take care of myself and avoid surgery. I am so thankful I bought this book. I recommend it to everyone. You shouldn't wait till you have eye problems before getting this book!!!

Wonderful lifestyle information for those of us who want to help prevent eye disease like cataracts and macular degeneration

This book is out of date medically. Since it was published in 1998 there have been many advances in the treatment of Age Related Macular Degeneration. While nutritional support remains the only current treatment for the dry form of the disorder there are several approaches to treatment for the wet form which results in much quicker loss of vision. I have received eye injections of a chemotherapy drug every 6 weeks for 18 months for the wet form with excellent results. The drug stops the growth of new blood vessels under the retina which is what causes much of the damage. Current medical treatment options give significantly more reason to be hopeful that the wet form of the disorder can be successfully managed. New approaches are in the research and development phases. The nutritional information presented by Dr.Rose is relevant to everyone wishing to be as healthy as possible.

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.

Great book to learn how to use the right supplements to save your sight; how to read food labels to avoid neuro-toxins, such as monosodium glutomate (which hides under many different names.) Well thought out, by different eye problems, and solutions. I have read about nutrition and alternative medicine for over 30 years, and this book gave me insight into things I'd never read anywhere else. Five stars PLUS!

Helped correct the eye problem I had with macular degeneration...excellent book....last I learned my eyes are in great shape because of the advise I received from following the instruction in the book.Have not read either of the two other books....Bird of Prey was a better book and Moonson I believe came from a Library and older one....but both was satisfactory.If I can remember my pass word I have a couple other I might purchase in the future..

Really great book about alternatives to drugs or surgery for those with sight problems. Also good advice about how to prevent eye problems with vitamins and lifestyle changes.

A good book that teachers exercisers to strengthen your eyes and it does help if you keep at it

I am working with a grroup of older people who are registered blind and have found this really useful and informative.
