Macular Degeneration: A Complete Guide for Patients and Their Families

As a registered nurse I found it very refreshing to hear from a medical doctor about the importance of diet and nutrition and how it impacts our general health and the health of our eyes. Dr. Samuel explains the role of inflammation in the development of macular degeneration and what we can do to reduce chronic inflammation through eating the right fats and carbohydrates. I recommend this book to anyone who has macular degeneration, has a family member with AMD or anyone who wants to learn more about the prevention of AMD.

I found this book to be very informative and very easy to read. It explained not only what the condition is but also what you can do to help slow down the progession of macular degeneration. It gave sample diets to follow and recommended certain vitamins. OF course, you always consult your doctor first before following the recommendations in the book. All in all, it was a very good book.

This book was a very easy read. A "must have" source of information if you've just been told you or a family member has AMD. There is also information about nutrition which is not only helpful for eye health but TOTAL body health as well. In the back of the book Dr. Samuel speaks about what you can do to start protecting your vision today... get on an eye vitamin. He mentions a couple different choices for comparison. I started taking the EyeScience - Macular Health Formula from EyeScience.com because they have more ingredients and a free trial. Good Luck.
