This book contains information of a highly respected ophthalmologist's successful treatment protocol of a disease considered "incurable": macular degenertion. It contains a list of the substances (mostly food supplements, vitamins, minerals etc. which he discovered that in combination could reverse (sometimes completely as in my husband's case) this dreaded disease about 88% of the time. I highly recommend that if you have this condition, get 2 copies and give one to your own ophthalmologist with the hope that he will be open to supervising this treatment using Dr. Todd's protocol. It requires a prescription thyroid medication (trademark: "cytomel") along with the relevant supplements. Highly readable with an explanation of the cause of this problem and other eye diseases that he has successfully treated but considered incurable by orthodoxy.

Gary Price Todd was an ophthalmologist who discovred than many diseases of the eyes -- such as cataracts and macular degeneration -- could be treated effectively will appropriate nutritional supplements. From this important discovery he went on to learn that appropriate nutrients could prevent and even cure many other diseases, including heart disease. This book presents -- in very clear, readable language -- details of many of Dr. Todd's findings. It is an excellent place to start if you want to improve you health -- especially you eyesight -- with nutrition rather than undergo treatment with pharmaceutical drugs or sugery.

If you have had eye or arterial health problems, this book is very helpful. Unlike the mindset of the ophthalmological community, he doesn't see bad eye health as inevitable consequence of age. He tends to see eye health as a reflection of the general health of the body. If you are having a lot of problems with eyes you probably having problems with rest your body. It is a rare ophthalmologist or internist who will see that connection.

The book is simple and easy read. He gets concepts across fast. If you have other health problems other than eyes, this is a worthwhile read. The book that I would recommend to go along with this one is THE PERRICONE WEIGHT-LOSS DIET book. Both are concerned with good arterial health.

The best part of his book after dealing with regular ophthalmologists is that he had a good mind set. Nothing is written stone. With effort, you can improve your health and vision. It is an excellent book that way.
