Dr. Austin's Macular Degeneration blog

9-19-08

I am excitied to be helping a 79-year old woman with her age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). Although I've learned quite a bit about treating ARMD at auriculotherapy seminars, this is the first time I've actually been blessed with treated this particular condition.

Mrs. N has had ARMD for several years, but it started getting progressively worse 1 year ago. She just completed her first month of treatment today and said that both eyes are at least 30 % improved.

I performed a total of 8 treatments using auriculotherapy with a microcurrent device, gold auriculotherapy pellets, and subtle resonating Cold Laser Therapy. She is also taking an herbal formula prescribed by a Chinese Medical Doctor in St. Louis. She had been on the formula, called '4sight' for about 6 weeks prior to initiating cold laser therapy / auriculotherapy treatments in my office, but couldn't tell that the herbal formula alone was helping.

Now she says that it's much easier to read smaller print on the TV screen than it had been for a long time.
