Description
In today’s “modern” medicine system, specialists have successfully dissected the human body into separate organs. There is a doctor for each one: kidney (nephrologist), heart (cardiologist), ear (otolaryngologist), bones(orthopedic surgeon), blood (hematologist), prostate (urologist), uterus (gynecologist), and so on. Let’s not forget the eye (ophthalmologist). More often than not, medical doctors act as if each organ or system is separate and distinct from the others. And, worse, practitioners of modern medicine (which is more of a disease maintenance system than a health system) pay absolutely no attention to the fundamental causes of disease: malnutrition, toxins, and stress. Modern doctors act as if a patient’s health problems are a natural deficiency of some petrochemical pharmaceutical. When it comes to diet, most doctors know nothing, and turn this most important of factors over to dieticians. Finally, and sadly, in my experience, most of these dieticians are totally in the dark about inherent biological nutrition but are terrific at calorie counting.
Once in a blue moon, an enlightened specialist sees clearly that the body works as an integrated whole, each organ and system supporting the others. Hence, it’s possible that in such an integrated whole, a single problem, like macular degeneration, might have some outside underlying causes. Perhaps you have a deficiency of magnesium, selenium, or zinc from eating lowquality food (as well as from eating crops grown in mineral-deficient soils). Perhaps you’ve accumulated a bit too much lead or other heavy metals, which have impregnated your sensory organs. Perhaps the problem is also related to other systems or to your body’s entire health status! For example, vascular disease will affect the arteries that feed your eyes. In Eastern medicine, two organs—the liver and gallbladder—energetically control your eyes. Energetic dysfunction in these organs can cause eye deterioration. In addition, just maybe, you are deficient in an essential “nutrient” that comes from the sun: ultraviolet energy, which many eye doctors consider toxic to the eyes. My own father was diagnosed with macular degeneration in 1990, when he was seventy-three. At the time, I lived in Alaska. My father periodically traveled from Florida to visit me in order to receive detox therapies (He underwent heavy metals chelation.) and circulation-promoting ozone therapy.
He subscribed to my nutritional program, which is both oral and intravenous, and received hyperbaric oxygen therapy. None of these methods are conventional. They all support inherent healing processes in the body. For his own reasons, my father would not see local doctors; he only wanted treatment from me. Yet even with visits of several consecutive weeks at a time, which took place every other year, we kept my father driving until about 2005. At that point, he saw my friend and eye treatment mentor, Dr. Kondrot, who assisted my father with frequency-specific microcurrent treatment. This immediately enabled my father to read at least two additional lines on the eye chart. However, when one has a chronic degenerative condition, it’s important to aggressively keep up with therapy. My dad did not. In addition, he developed other eye problems; his vision gradually deteriorated. Keeping him driving for fifteen years was still quite an accomplishment, especially since he had treatment at what I considered to be an intermittent rate (every two years). Orthodox medicine has little to offer those with eye diseases like macular degeneration. That’s because modern medicine can’t look beyond a petrochemical pharmaceutical for treatment, or, in the case of eyes, a laser to burn and coagulate retinal tissue.
There are far better ways. Prevention is always first. Nutrition, detoxification, and stress reduction provide the means for your body to do what God designed it to do—protect and heal itself. Dr. Kondrot provides an outstanding template for prevention of disease and restoration of health, not just for your eyes but also for your whole body. Some of it may come as a real surprise, especially considering the eyes. For example, Dr. Kondrot bravely defies the conventional mantra that sun-related UV exposure is damaging in amounts we normally receive through daily life. In fact, he explains how UV deficiency might actually lead to retinal cell dysfunction.
Practitioners, including me, of ozone (oxidation) therapy, which is covered in this book, have seen some marvelous results from using oxidation therapy on eyes. I took an ozone machine to an Indian charity hospital and trained the doctors on its use. Months later, I was so pleased to learn that a child suffering from retinitis pigmentosa had had highly significant vision recovery from using ozone treatments.
