[.ca] Save Your Sight (ISBN 0446674028)

snake oil for a vulnerable community:
The theme: that nutrition ought to accompany any medical regime, is sound. But the silly sixties warnings about "processed foods" and other health food myths make one wonder if this is a book designed to make a buck for the authors rather than to help those with vision problems.

This is a note to a previous review:
Hi - This is phyllis eyres - I did a review on this fabulous book but you have my email address incorrect - it should be eyres@inf.net.au. Thanks a lot - Phyllis

This book should be in every optition's shop:
This book is the best I have found on this dreadful condition - it proves that your eyesight is connected to your general wellbeing. It should be the bible of every Optician and Eye Specialist. It explains why macular degeneration occurs and what you can do about it. It gives one hope after being told 'go away - there is nothing we can do for you. Thank you Doctors

Essential info for all Eye Doctors:
I practice Nutritional Optometry (educate my patients on any and all supplements that are beneficial for their particular disease, or family history of disease). This book gives the reader an exceptional overview on the do's and dont's of nutrition as pertaining to the eye. The information contained in this book is necessary info for all eye doctors, so they may relay the info to their patients.

A misleading title providing false hope:
I suffer from Macular Degeneration and bought the book, hoping to find, as the title suggests, a way to reverse the disease. There was no proven cure in the book. Plus, the book has only one chapter on MD, not the whole book as might be construed from the title. Millions of Americans suffer from MD for which there is no definite cure. The title is a good sales booster. People like me who have been told by numerous physicians that there is no cure, will buy the book. If you are a patient of MD, eat a lot of bilberry, antioxidants and lutein( found in leafy greens like spinach) and most of all, pray. God made us and He only can cure; we can only try, it is He that can make it happen.
