Daily juicing of vegetables and fruits (preferably organic). Our recipe for this condition is some
combination of the following: ginger, garlic, leeks, parsley, beets, cabbage, carrots, celery, spinach,
kale, collard greens, apples, grapes, raspberries, lemon, chlorophyll, wheat grasses - (not too
much fruit)

I would like to thank you for all the supplements you suggested. I faithfully took each one and I
prayed and I also consulted with a holistic doctor near me who gave me Ayurveda supplements
and had me bathe my eye in Ghee twice a day. I went back to Dr. Brod, the retina specialist here
in Lancaster, PA and I am healed. He was so confused because he told me that my eye would
never improve, only get worse. He started questioning his original diagnosis because he was
shocked that I can now see and that the image of my macula was normal. ... Thank you very
much for all you have done for me!

Food for your Eyes - Juicing, Smoothie & Green

Drink Recipes for Eyesight
Juicing versus Smoothies & Green Drinks
Some of us don't juice: we don't have time, we don't have a juicer, we don't like
the clean-up, or we just are not wild about juice. Although juicing allows us to
have maximum usable nutrients, we can, instead, make smoothies using these
same recipes. If we have a blender which turns raw fruits and vegetables to a
smooth puree or near liquid consistency then we can make great smoothies and
green drinks.

SEE THE RECIPES

Making freshly juiced drinks of mostly organic fruit and vegetables is a critical
part of the process of healing your eyes and body. The health of your eyes is
tied to the health of your body. Juicing is a great way to get the freshest, purest
nutrients into your body in the most easily digested manner - and in turn having
those nutrients readily available in the quickest time. It can take only several
minutes for nutrients from fresh juice to be utilized by your body. And once they
are in your body, they are carried through the blood stream to your eyes.

Benefits of Juicing
Enzyme protection. Enzymes are the catalysts for your body's essential and
effective functioning. They increase the rate nearly all the chemical reactions in
every cell and different glands and organs produce these enzymes in the process
of regulating metabolism, circulation, respiration, reproduction and the
functioning of the brain. Within your digestive system specific enzymes help
digest food. They break down food into smaller building blocks so that the body
can absorb them rapidly. They are found in your saliva, your stomach, your
intestinal tract and pancreas.

They convert proteins into peptides and amino acids. They convert fat into fatty
acids and glycerol. They convert starches and sugars into glucose.

Enzymes are in fruits and vegetables and help in the breakdown of those foods
by your body. But they become sluggish above 118 degrees, and deteriorate
completely above 130 degrees. Note, microwaves destroy them completely.
Juicing, therefore, is a way to consume the maximum possible enzymes. It
should be noted that some very high speed juicers or blenders operate at such
high speed that the temperature can rise about 188 degrees or even 130
degrees.

1. Faster digestion. When you consume solid foods it takes several hours for
your body to break it down into usable components. Although fiber is
important for good health, the juicing process removes fiber making digestion
faster - minutes rather than hours.
2. Concentrated nutrients. Juicing concentrates the nutrients. By juicing the
various recipes we recommend below you quickly introduce ample amounts of
nutrients into your system, more than you could take in comfortably if you ate
all of those fruits and vegetables whole.
3. Living juice. Many people feel that to nourish your own life it is important to
consume foods are "alive." Juicing preserves this quality of life that is
destroyed through cooking.
 4. Juice for health. There is ample research for almost every eye and health
condition that demonstrates that diets high in fruits and vegetables are critical
to good health and reduce the risk of disease.
5. Vegetable protein. Fruit and vegetables contain more protein than you might
think. Vegetables such as green beans, corn, artichoke, watercress and the
cabbage family: broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, etc. have the most
protein of the vegetables. And juices are an easy way to add additional protein
such as brewer's yeast, wheat germ, or you can add whole grains to your
juicing recipe.
6. Phytochemicals Phytochemicals are chemical compounds that exist only in
fruits and vegetables that control their color and smell. These compounds are
very important for good health. For example, lutein is found in yellow fruits
and vegetables and is also in the macula of the eye, where it helps with
circulation. Juicing is a wonderful way to get large quantities of
phytochemicals that are readily absorbed into the body.
7. Quantity to consume. You may consume as much fresh juice as you wish as
long as you don't force it. Follow your comfort level. At least one pint daily is
great. For therapeutic purposes, your healthcare professional might
recommend 2-8 pints daily.
8. Freshness. You should drink your fresh juice as soon as you make it and not
store it for later. Many enzymes and vitamins break down quickly once
exposed to the air or sunlight.
9. Organic. Non-organic products contain pesticides, and not only on the surface
of the skin. If you juice non-organic foods you are likely consuming
concentrated amounts of those pesticides. Some feel that pesticides reside
mostly in fiber, which is removed, but better to be safe.

Equipment

There are many excellent juicers. We recommend those that operate at a slow
80RPM, slowly enough to not create heat. Most juicing equipment works at
3600RPM or higher. The Omegas are known as "masticating juicers." They chew
up fruits and vegetables slowly, preserving nutrients and enzymes. The
downside is slightly slower operating time and slightly longer cleanup.

Vitamix has a reputation for being an excellent machine; nutribullet and ninja
are also good at much lower cost. Note: these machines however, are not low
speed and so they do generate heat and some nutrients and enzymes are lost.
However they are better than not making a refreshing nourishing drink at all.

Some Juicing Recipes for Vision

Macula
Macular Degeneration: Broccoli, basil, green and red bell pepper, raspberries,

carrots, 10 grapes or 1/4 cup blueberries, 2 apples, 1 tablespoon flax seed, and
1 teaspoon lemon juice or 1 slice ginger to brighten the flavor. This combination
provides lutein, zeaxanthin, omega-3, resveratrol, beta-carotene, lycopene,
vitamin C, and other nutrients.
