About 8 years ago,

I went to my eye doctor and he did a standard eye exam. Shortly after we looked at the pictures and specifically the back of my eye. At this point, the Doctor regretfully informed me that I had a condition called Macular Degeneration. My immediate response was “what should I do about it, what are my options?” To my surprise the answer was nothing… “There is nothing that can really be done, this will continue to get slightly worse and the best case scenario is that it stays the same.” The true worst case scenario for Macular Degeneration is that you lose your eyesight. For those wondering what Macular Degeneration is I’ll quote the Mayo Clinic: “Macular degeneration causes loss in the center of the field of vision. In dry Macular Degeneration, the center of the retina deteriorates. With wet Macular Degeneration, leaky blood vessels grow under the retina.” The Doctors only recommendation was that I should take some antioxidants in hopes to slow down the progression but that was the end of the conversation.


Roughly 2 years later I went back for a follow-up exam and the Doctor took a new set of pictures. We then put both sets of images side by side for comparison but the Doctor didn’t speak. He stopped, checked the dates, re-checked the dates and began to shake. You can only imagine what it is like to sit with a silent Doctor, waiting for their explanation… After a while, I began to think the worst “did I do something wrong? Am I going to be blind? Do I have a brain tumor!?!?” Finally, I asked him what was wrong. The doctor paused a moment longer and said “I don’t know what you’ve been doing but your Macular Degeneration is getting better” I explained that I had been taking Dr. Joe’s Super Greens and Dr. Joe’s Essential Source since my first visit. The doctor then exclaimed, “whatever it is you’re doing don’t stop, it’s working.”

A few years later, I went back and the same thing. The Macular Degeneration continued to improve. Fast forward a bit and last year I went back and had another exam. They had a new doctor on staff and she joined us to go over the xrays. She knew nothing about my case so when looking at the images she seems confused. I smiled knowing what was going on and asked her if there was a problem. She said no, I just think the pictures are out of order. My smile continued to grow and I explained: “no the pictures are in the right order, my Macular Degeneration has improved.” She couldn’t believe it. She looked over them again and again and said this just is not possible, your Macular Degeneration has improved 60-80%. She continued to say, this just is not possible, it’s unheard of. Very politely she asked if she could submit my images and records to a journal that specializes in Macular Degeneration to which I answered “absolutely!” Since that day, the clinic has sent all of their patients with eye issues to us for nutritional counseling and supplement protocols.

My plan is to continue on this road and hopefully someday they’ll be no sign of my macular degeneration. I can’t promise this will happen to you, but I’m really excited with the results. Over the years, I’ve had other patients tell me that their vision had improved as well.

When it comes to healthcare, there is no downside to having a normally functioning nervous system, a normally functioning digestive system, and a good diet. In most cases patients save a ton of money, get very good results and are ecstatic that they made this decision. The biggest complaint I get from my patients is “Why didn’t I do this sooner? Why did I wait so long to take control of my own health?” I hope you’re not one of those patients. If you’re serious about wanting to get well, if you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired, I would strongly advise you give us a call at 770-427-7387 Ext. 1 and set up an appointment to see us as soon as possible. At the very least, I would suggest you try taking Dr. Joe’s Essential Source. Dr Joe’s Super Greens (I like the mint Super Greens taste more than the Rice Protein), Dr Joe’s Adrenal Support, Dr Joe’s Digestive Enzymes, Dr Joe’s Nitric Oxide (if you have low blood pressure, don’t take Nitric Oxide), Dr Joe’s B Complex, and Dr Joe’s Essential Source.
