Cool stuff depending on side affects. Alternatively I reversed macular degeneration in my right eye with vitamin A. Then it started in my left eye and I added vitamin E B1 and B2 and my left eye reversed. I don't know now long it will last. When I say reversed stopped lightshade affect and removed red lines to cornea.

[@mnayak9348]

Could you please tell how much vitamin A you took and how much E and b1 b2 thanks. Was it beginning of disease

Wonderful! What do u mean by lightshade affect? Wavy lines that are supposed to be straight? Did u have dry AMD? thanks for sharing!!

[@stuarthutt3740]

@@1artistvocalist I don't know if it was dry or wet. The shade affect was as if someone lowered a shade over my eye

[@skipalbert]

Wonderful presentation! Please tell me the name of the drug you mentioned near end of talk that reduces by 27 percent death of sight cells.

[@OldGuardSummit]

Sorry, we at Old Guard don't know what that drug is. We suggest you Google it, or ask your ophthalmologist, or reach out to Dr Zarbin directly. He's easy to find on the web.

[@Steinstra-vj7wl]

Please get rid of the injections and instead we have droplets .

[@Melody-285]

I would have an injection every week if it would restore my sight - I don’t care how it’s administered if there was just something that worked
