Healing Glaucoma by Glen Dr. Swartwout Pdf

Subtitled Natural Medicine for Self-Healing, this book is an encyclopedic study guide, a download of the compiled research and experience of an eye doctor with thirty years experience on the front lines of holistic medicine. Dr. Swartwout has even included specific remedy and source suggestions in this heavily expanded third edition. In depth coverage has been added of multiple areas that will be of interest to the inquiring clinician and even clinical researchers will find new perspectives worthy of investigation. The book draws on an extremely wide range of effective therapies from around the world including European Biological Medicine. Detailed coverage is now included on reversing AGE (Advanced Glycation Endproducts) as well as an eye opening perspective on antioxidants, a section on Excitotoxins, and some discussion of Dr. Swartwout's 5 Phases of Health model based on Bioelectronics of Vincent that measures the parameters necessary to both quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate biological energy (in microwatts) in a fluid milieu. Those factors boil down to protons, electrons and photons in the author's penetrating insight into biophysics. Without oversimplifying anything, the discussion is aimed at supporting those patients and practitioners who are serious about discovering what may be possible in the realm of actually healing the pathophysiology of glaucoma.“This book is a great contribution to the emerging paradigm of 21st century vision care. It provides a thorough review of many healing modalities in order to help a person's eye, body and soul heal the condition of glaucoma… A must for any patient or professional working with this condition. Dr. Swartwout is a pioneer in helping to regenerate our precious gift of sight.” - Marc Grossman, O.D., L.Ac., co-author of Greater Vision and co-author of Natural Eye Care

Marijuana As Medicine? by Institute of Medicine,Janet Joy,Alison Mack Pdf

Some people suffer from chronic, debilitating disorders for which no conventional treatment brings relief. Can marijuana ease their symptoms? Would it be breaking the law to turn to marijuana as a medication? There are few sources of objective, scientifically sound advice for people in this situation. Most books about marijuana and medicine attempt to promote the views of advocates or opponents. To fill the gap between these extremes, authors Alison Mack and Janet Joy have extracted critical findings from a recent Institute of Medicine study on this important issue, interpreting them for a general audience. Marijuana As Medicine? provides patientsâ€"as well as the people who care for themâ€"with a foundation for making decisions about their own health care. This empowering volume examines several key points, including: Whether marijuana can relieve a variety of symptoms, including pain, muscle spasticity, nausea, and appetite loss. The dangers of smoking marijuana, as well as the effects of its active chemical components on the immune system and on psychological health. The potential use of marijuana-based medications on symptoms of AIDS, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and several other specific disorders, in comparison with existing treatments. Marijuana As Medicine? introduces readers to the active compounds in marijuana. These include the principal ingredient in Marinol, a legal medication. The authors also discuss the prospects for developing other drugs derived from marijuana's active ingredients. In addition to providing an up-to-date review of the science behind the medical marijuana debate, Mack and Joy also answer common questions about the legal status of marijuana, explaining the conflict between state and federal law regarding its medical use. Intended primarily as an aid to patients and caregivers, this book objectively presents critical information so that it can be used to make responsible health care decisions. Marijuana As Medicine? will also be a valuable resource for policymakers, health care providers, patient counselors, medical faculty and studentsâ€"in short, anyone who wants to learn more about this important issue.

Glaucoma Surgery by P. Bettin,P.T. Khaw Pdf

The first edition of this volume, published in 2012, has become an indispensable reference for clinicians, a fact that inspired the making of this 2nd edition. The book starts with a discussion of current achievements and limitations of the medical therapy of glaucoma. The focus is then placed on conventional glaucoma procedures such as trabeculectomy, deep sclerectomy, and glaucoma drainage device surgery. A chapter is dedicated to the postoperative management of filtering procedures. Further chapters review the role of the ocular surface and the issue of modulation of the scarring processes in glaucoma surgery. The second section covers some promising new devices and techniques. The final part addresses the surgical approaches to some specific clinical challenges: angle-closure glaucoma, concomitant cataract and glaucoma, pediatric glaucoma, and refractory glaucomas. This volume provides residents and general ophthalmologists with valuable new insights into the fascinating and sometimes complex aspects of glaucoma surgery. It will also assist glaucoma specialists when they review and validate therapeutic approaches with their patients.

Stop Vision Loss Now! by Bruce Fife Pdf

Losing your eyesight is a frightening thought. Yet, every five seconds someone in the world goes blind. Most causes of visual impairment are caused by age-related diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Modern medicine has no cure for these conditions. Treatment usually involves managing the symptoms and attempting to slow the progression of the disease. In some cases surgery is an option, but there is always the danger of adverse side effects that can damage the eyes even further. Most chronic progressive eye disorders are considered incurable, hopeless. However, there is a successful treatment. It doesn’t involve surgery, drugs, or invasive medical procedures. All that is needed is a proper diet. The key to this diet is coconut, specifically coconut oil. The author used this method to cure is own glaucoma, something standard medical therapy is unable to do. The coconut based dietary program described in this book has the potential to help prevent and treat many common visual problems including the following: ● Cataracts ● Glaucoma ● Macular degeneration ● Diabetic retinopathy ● Dry eye syndrome ● Sjogren’s syndrome ● Optic neuritis ● Irritated eyes ● Conjunctivitis (pink eye) ● Stroke ● Eye disorders related to neurodegenerative disease (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, MS) Most chronic eye disorders come without warning. No one can tell who will develop a visual handicap as they age. Everybody is at risk. Once the disease is present, treatment is a lifelong process. The best solution is prevention. In this book, you will learn the basic underlying causes for the most common degenerative eye disorders and what you can do to prevent, stop, and even reverse them.

Heal Yourself of Anything: Example Glaucoma by Nancy Harris Pdf

Heal Yourself of Anything is a thought-provoking look into an amazing form of healing. The author tells how her nine-year-old son Michael was healed of congenital glaucoma (a high-pressure disease of the eyes) when she reversed her negative attitude toward a domineering (pressuring) person in her life. By reversing her way of dealing with this person, her son's glaucoma literally vanished. By handling this problem in a new way, Michael's eye pressure checked normal for the first time in his life, and after nine years of daily eye drops, they were no longer needed to control the pressure. Nancy explains the spiritual healing process, which can be used to heal any illness. She teaches that we are spiritual beings attracting the visible reflection or shadow of the thoughts we think. Your body is like a thermometer registering your positive and negative feelings and attitudes. Your problems can become mental harmony disturbers because they bring negative words to your mind. In order to heal, you must dislodge and dispel these harmful negative words from your thinking and replace them with the directly opposite positive words intentionally. You always know what your biggest problem is, so if you are facing a health crisis of any kind, you must look at your own feelings and attitudes about that problem and get them changed and literally reversed to heal your illness. Because your thoughts regulate your body chemistry, positive loving thoughts bathe your bodily organs in nourishing, healthy fluids. Negative thoughts cause a lack of nourishment to your organs and result in the breakdown of healthy operations in your body. By dislodging and dispelling specific negative words from your thinking based on your specific illness, you can heal yourself from most medically incurable illnesses. Anyone can use these techniques, which the author explains in detail to heal glaucoma or any other disease. This book will inspire you to get beyond the negativity that can weigh heavily on your health.

Glaucoma: An Open-Window to Neurodegeneration and Neuroprotection by Carlo Nucci,Luciano Cerulli,Neville N. Osborne,Giacinto Bagetta Pdf

Glaucoma is one of the main causes of blindness throughout the world. It is characterized by death of the retinal ganglion cells, which is associated with loss of the axons making up the optic nerve. Recent studies have demonstrated support for the classification of glaucoma as a degenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS), leading researchers to look at identifying neuroprotection strategies for the treatment of this disease, like those used for other degenerative diseases of the CNS. This book will provide an in-depth examination of the most recent findings regarding glaucoma, including risk factors, diagnosis, clinical monitoring, treatment, and above all, the need for treatment based on the concept of neuroprotection. A large part of the book is devoted to research related to this new approach to the treatment of glaucoma. Describes the most recent developments on neuroprotection of the optic nerve, including experimental models now used and clinical protocols Discusses new strategies for the prevention of neuronal injury in glaucoma patients Focuses on evidence-based risk factors, innovative diagnostic aspects and advanced medical/surgical treatment of glaucoma
