2.0 out of 5 stars Macular Degeneration Discussion Inadequate, December 10, 1999

By A Customer

Remarkably this book has only one chapter on macular degeneration. Other eye diseases are discussed in chapters that follow. Useful descriptions of macular degeneration research or ways to achieve living independence are lacking. Heavy emphasis is placed upon nutrition therapy. I found other books to be of more value in understanding the role of nutrition strategies in preserving sight and practical ways to follow them in daily living. This book alone will not fulfill most needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Offers a natural alternative to losing vision!, March 4, 1999

By A Customer

My eye doctor told me I suffered from macular degeneration and I would gradually lose a good deal of my eye sight. He said there is no treatment for the condition that he was aware of. This book offers a natural alternative to losing vision. The book is based on fairly substantial research. The book gives you a detailed program of proper food and nutritional supplements that have been successful in halting the progression of this problem and even reversing its degenerative eye-sight robbing effects. I've started the program. While it's too early to report improvement at least I now have hope of improving my condition. The book is written for the lay person and is very easy to read yet packed with information.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, January 11, 2007

By	Bobbe J. Marion - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a good book if you are in to natural heaing. I was actually doing research on Macular Degeneration for my Dad and picked this one up. To be honest though, had I been in a bookstore actually glancing through it, I probably would not have purchased it. Nothing bad about it, but just not worth the money.
