The Problem

Generally speaking, I have found that most degenerative eye diseases are the result of ocular toxins that have deposited in and around the eyes. The rivers of our blood and lymphatic systems have deposited debris in the eyes from other areas of the body and/or they have been unable to wash the debris away that has been generated by the eyes themselves. These toxins harm the ocular cells and can eventually cause blindness. One example of this is seen in patients with macular degeneration - ocular toxins called "drusen."

It has been suggested by the ophthalmic community that drusen is the most probable culprit of are-related macular degeneration. It is worth noting here the correlation between the liver and eye in Chinese medicine and conventional medicine. Drusen deposits in the eye and causes degeneration of the macula. The interesting thing about drusen is how similar in chemical composition is to Gall Stones that form in the Liver and Gall Bladder - primarily made up of lipids and calcium. When the liver becomes overloaded with fat-soluble toxins, the lymph will slow the delivery of waste to the liver in an attempt to reduce it's work load. When the lymph slows or stops flowing normally, it may deposit the lipo-toxins (fat soluble toxins) in various areas of the body. When the lipo-toxins deposit in the eyes, they are identified as drusen. So it is likely that the drusen accumulates in the eyes because the liver and lymphatic system become so backed up. If the quantity of drusen increases due to improper elimination of toxins thought the lymph, liver, and bowels (skin and kidney as well), the retina will continue to degenerate.

So where do the toxins come from? There are both endogenous and exogenous toxins. There are toxins that we take in from foods and water in the form of pesticides, hormones, food additives and preservatives, etc. There are prescription and medication drugs that have varying levels of toxicity. Add in polluted air and water, toxins from skin care products, make up products, central heating, air conditioning, cleaning products, smog, smoking, carbon monoxide etc. Then there are the toxic effects of microbes that cause bacterial, viral, yeast and parasitic infections that also can deposit thought your entire body, including the eyes.

In addition to external or environmental toxins, there are metabolic waste products that must be eliminated on an ongoing basis from the body. Every cell in the body produces metabolic waste products. In a healthy body, these toxins are eliminated efficiently. In most patients with degenerative vision loss, this elimination process not working properly.

We eliminate toxins though the kidneys, liver and skin. If the function of one or more of these organs becomes weak, toxins will accumulate and deposit throughout the body. When the toxic overload becomes overwhelming to the body, it will begin to break down and degenerate. The desecration will begin in the weakest area of the body. For many the eyes are a "weak-link," susceptible to degeneration. This weakness will result in problems like excessive toxic accumulation in and around the eyes, increased retinal oxidation, optic nerve dysfunction, reduced nourishment and oxygen transport to the eyes - which can all lead to progressive vision loss.

This realization that systemic toxicity IS the mot probable cause of degenerative vision loss is the key to our newly developed eye health program. After years of investigation we have finally discovered that the level of each individual's systemic and local ocular toxicity level IS THE MOST CRITICAL DETERMINING FACTOR IN TERMS OF HOW WELL PEOPLE WILL RESPOND TO TREATMENT!
