Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2016, ophthalmologist and Associate Clinical Professor Emeritus, Chris Knobbe, MD, proffered a revolutionary hypothesis for both the cause and the treatment of age-related macular degeneration; since then, his supportive research, writings, and presentations have received tremendous accolades from colleagues and fellow nutrition researchers, alike. Knobbe has presented his hypothesis and supportive research on numerous stages all across the United States and for a number of organizations, including the Christian Ophthalmology Society, the Ancestral Health Symposium, the Weston A. Price Foundation, and the Macular Degeneration Association. Knobbe is the world's only ophthalmologist to have proffered such a hypothesis, but which has also been buttressed by supprttive research, published in the highly esteemed journal, Medical Hypotheses, in November, 2017. Ophthalmologist and retina specialist of the United Kingdom, Andrew J. Luff, MA, FRCS, FRCS(Ophtha), FRCOphth, writes, "As the prevalence of AMD escalates, the devastating consequences of visual loss take their relentless toll on individuals, families, and health economies. This epidemic continues to grow, oblivious to a plethora of research. A massive financial investment (both University-based and pharmaceutical) has made no impact on the incidence of a disease that has resisted minor nutritional tinkering and seen no significant gain from our exponentially increased knowledge of genetics. In researching our frustrating lack of success in the quest for a unifying cause of AMD, Dr. Knobbe concludes that we have been looking in the wrong place. "From a meticulous examination of ophthalmic history, comparative epidemiology and dietary change across the globe, he constructs a cogent and compelling argument for defects in basic nutrition as the fundamental driver of AMD. The data are stark and the potential consequences of dietary deficiency sobering. Dr. Knobbe's rational conclusion that a shift from traditional foods can wreak havoc on macular function will come as no surprise to those who have postulated similar cause for the multitude of chronic diseases now endemic in so-called developed nations. "His hypothesis is unlikely to be welcomed by those committed to pharmacological intervention. Furthermore, a radical change to the diet of billions will not happen quickly. However, for newly diagnosed patients seeking hope and clinicians struggling for an answer, Dr. Knobbe's remarkable book offers the first tangible lifeline. To impact on the visual health of a nation we need a paradigm shift in the attitude of government and a radical rethink of the artificially constructed boundaries between nutrition and medicine. The visual health of many millions of people worldwide over the coming decades may depend on whether Knobbe's message is heard by those with both the political power and the financial commitment to take action." Andrew J. Luff, MA, FRCS, FRCS(Ophtha, FRCOphth Vitreo-Retinal Surgeon, United Kingdom, Fellow of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists Dr. Knobbe's revolutionary hypothesis, extraordinary research, and scientific rigor, is second to none. After having read the book or seen Knobbe's presenations, many have remarked, "How can his conclusions be refuted?" Come see how and why you can save your vision, by following a delicious, healthy, satisfying diet, with virtually any food you desire, as long as it is made with "ancestral" ingredients. Shocking, but true!

Download or read book Blind Faith written by John Crittenden and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-02-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fourth Printed Edition: Updated June, 2016. The continuing story of how one man reversed wet macular degeneration in eleven weeks. This update includes follow-up results of a Fluorescein Angiography scan (with dye) that showed no bleeding in either eye. The author's Ophthalmologist said that the wet macular degeneration was completely reversed and that both eyes were very healthy. This has been accomplished without any medical drugs. "John Crittenden is one of those rare clients who goes way above and beyond the support and encouragement he receives and clearly doesn't take no for an answer. His intuitive nature and persistence, along with a passion to learn and the ability to listen, have allowed him to defy all odds outlined by conventional medicine. BLIND FAITH is a true story of encouragement, empowerment and hope. I encourage everyone with a chronic disease, or anyone that cares for someone suffering from a chronic disease, to understand that John's case outlines something greater than macular degeneration; this approach can be applied to any chronic disease state." Dr. Brian Davies, BSc, ND Comparison with current Anti-VEGF Injections published results: Avastin - 9.7 letters gained (in 52 weeks) Lucentis - 11.2 letters gained (in 52 weeks) Eylea - 13.3 letters gained (in 52 weeks) Crittenden Protocol - 35 letters gained (in 11 weeks) Crittenden Protocol - 50 letters gained (on August 28, 2015) If the author can do this then perhaps you can too. He is not writing about something he read or was taught in medical school. He is passionately writing about what he actually did and explains the full details of the protocol he developed and used. Like many of you he was told by his Ophthalmologist that there was no cure. This has been proven to be wrong. Now his Ophthalmologist (who is a professor and current head of the Retina Division at the University of British Columbia), says he has never seen this kind of regeneration before and told him to "keep doing what you're doing, you may change a lot of our minds." What You Will Learn From This Book 1. How the author reversed macular degeneration with his own naturopathic protocol in eleven weeks with continual monitoring by his Ophthalmologist. 2. How the author connected the dots between several fields of science to develop his food-based protocol. 3. Full details of his protocol and how it may be personalized for others by a Naturopathic Doctor. 4. More than 200 printed pages and more than 90 links to the science for those who want to do their own research. 5. How our bodies are creating new cells all the time, why this does not cure disease for many people, and what we can do to change that. Much, much more... BLIND FAITH is the true story of how one man discovered the answer to reversing wet macular degeneration thru diet and nutrition alone. The results are proven and cannot be challenged.

Download or read book New Insights Into Retinal Degenerative Diseases written by Robert E. Anderson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-12-31 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1984, we have organized satellite symposia on retinal degenerations that are held in conjunction with the biennial International Congress of Eye Research. The timing and location of our Retinal Degeneration Symposia have allowed scientists and clinicians from around the world to convene and present their exciting new findings. The symposia have been arranged to allow ample time for discussions and one-on-one interactions in a relaxed atmosphere, where international friendships and collaborations could be established. The IXth International Symposium on Retinal Degeneration was held on October 9-14, 2000 in Durango, Colorado and was attended by over 100 scientists from six continents. This book contains many of their presentations. Several events of note occurred at this meeting. First, thanks to the generous support of the Foundation Fighting Blindness, we were able to sponsor the travel of 11 young scientists from six countries. Most of them have contributed chapters to this volume. The response to the travel program was so overwhelming that we will make it regular feature of our meeting. This will allow other bright, young investigators to be introduced to the world experts who study retinal degenerations. Second, about 40% of the scientists who attended this meeting were there for the first time. We believe that this indicates a growing interest in retinal degeneration research and ensures that new talent will be attracted to this important area of investigation. The symposium received support from several organizations.
Download or read book Why We Get Sick written by Benjamin Bikman and published by BenBella Books. This book was released on 2020-07-21 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A scientist reveals the groundbreaking evidence linking many major diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease, to a common root cause—insulin resistance—and shares an easy, effective plan to reverse and prevent it. We are sick. Around the world, we struggle with diseases that were once considered rare. Cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes affect millions each year; many people are also struggling with hypertension, weight gain, fatty liver, dementia, low testosterone, menstrual irregularities and infertility, and more. We treat the symptoms, not realizing that all of these diseases and disorders have something in common. Each of them is caused or made worse by a condition known as insulin resistance. And you might have it. Odds are you do—over half of all adults in the United States are insulin resistant, with most other countries either worse or not far behind. In Why We Get Sick, internationally renowned scientist and pathophysiology professor Benjamin Bikman explores why insulin resistance has become so prevalent and why it matters. Unless we recognize it and take steps to reverse the trend, major chronic diseases will be even more widespread. But reversing insulin resistance is possible, and Bikman offers an evidence-based plan to stop and prevent it, with helpful food lists, meal suggestions, easy exercise principles, and more. Full of surprising research and practical advice, Why We Get Sick will help you to take control of your health.

Download or read book The Potato Crop written by Hugo Campos and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-03 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book provides a fresh, updated and science-based perspective on the current status and prospects of the diverse array of topics related to the potato, and was written by distinguished scientists with hands-on global experience in research aspects related to potato. The potato is the third most important global food crop in terms of consumption. Being the only vegetatively propagated species among the world’s main five staple crops creates both issues and opportunities for the potato: on the one hand, this constrains the speed of its geographic expansion and its options for international commercialization and distribution when compared with commodity crops such as maize, wheat or rice. On the other, it provides an effective insulation against speculation and unforeseen spikes in commodity prices, since the potato does not represent a good traded on global markets. These two factors highlight the underappreciated and underrated role of the potato as a dependable nutrition security crop, one that can mitigate turmoil in world food supply and demand and political instability in some developing countries. Increasingly, the global role of the potato has expanded from a profitable crop in developing countries to a crop providing income and nutrition security in developing ones. This book will appeal to academics and students of crop sciences, but also policy makers and other stakeholders involved in the potato and its contribution to humankind’s food security.
