Healing the Eye the Natural Way

In Healing The Eye The Natural Way: Alternative Medicine And Macular Degeneration, homeopath and board certified ophthalmologist Dr. Edward Kondrot offers readers a twelve-step guide to improving their vision through vitamin and nutritional therapy, homeopathy, micro-current stimulation, and chelation therapy. Healing The Eye The Natural Way is a unique and invaluable contribution to the growing library of alternative medicine in general, and vision related medical issues in particular.

I was absolutely delighted to read Dr. Kondrot's book Healing the Eye the Natural Way. I am a Family Physician, a Homeopathic Doctor, and I have a family history of macular degeneration. This book helps me on all three of those levels. This book presents a sensible and rational, multi-disciplinary, holistic approach to eye health and particularly to macular degenaration. We need more information like that found in this book.

Given that it is estimated that 13 million Americans are to suffer from Age-Related Macular Degeneration, it is time that someone from the field of medicine step forward into the realm of natural medicine and give us hope. In this book, Dr. Kondrot introduces an alternative approach to help heal macular degeneration at a time that conventional medicine does not have much to offer patients with this diagnosis. Dr. Kondrot has introduced his approach in three main parts in the book. In the first section he teaches the value of a healthy diet, balanced exercise, and stress management. In the 2nd section, he recommends additional nutritional and eye specific herbal supplements to support circulatory and nervous system. And finally in the 3rd section, three revolutionary techniques are introduced: classical homeopathy, chelation therapy and micro-current stimulation. Most of us have herad of chelation therapy in relation to treating heavy metal toxicity or cardiovascular disorders. The idea of chelation therapy as a treatment for macular degeneration will strike most readers as quite novel. Likewise, many will not have heard of Microcurrent Stimulation, an adaption of TENS unit used for pain management, to stimulate eye circulation. In classical homeopathy, a correct constitutional remedy is useful in healing the person as a whole and can bring miraculous outcome when combined with the rest of the mentioned therapies. Patient testimonials are especially compelling. Readers will find this book easy to read because of its' simple language, slightly oversized font and roomy page layout. In addition the upbeat, and friendly tone provides encouragement and support for the readers in the healing process. Resources are helpful to acquire the mentioned products. It is wonderful to know that the material in this book is compiled from years of work and dedication of a respected specialist who has dared to go the distance in this field.
