I devoted a career to ophthalmology, never met an MD who told their patients this. They had Pharma manufactured vitamins they would pimp, but i NEVER heard a doctor counsel a patient to EAT their vitamins as whole foods. THANKS, Doc!
Amen, when a doctor suggests prescription drugs to me for anything the first thing I ask is *can I try a better diet and exercise*, a GOOD doctor would say *definitely but if after a certain amount of time I see no change for the better then you'll have to take this medication* I would have more respect towards him or her. That's why I like Dr. Berg, GOD bless him.😊
amommamust My retina doctor told me right away, take your vitamins AND eat all the dark leafy greens I can stomach every day. He was also very blunt about losing weight, cutting out starches, blood pressure, UV and high energy visible blue light outdoors AND at work.
My mother went legally blind in her 60's. She stopped eating egg yolks in her 40S cause she thouhht they were bad. She never ate green leafy anyhing. She drank tons of diet soda. Used sugar substitutes. No fat of anykind except margarine daily. She past september 13th from advanced stage alzheimers. Her mother passed from aIzheimers as well. love your videos. Its too late for mom. But not for me and my children. Thank you so much. Love you and karin
I'm so sorry about your mom and grandmother. My mom passed away from dementia almost two years ago. She had a diet similar to that and wouldn't stay away from diet soda. All the more reason to be super thankful for Dr. Berg's information.
what about Vitamin A from Cod Liver Oil? i'm pretty sure i got this suggestion from you a while back, Dr.Berg. my mom has beginning MD, so that's what i've been forcing on her (ever tried getting a Septuagenarian to take supplements???), 10,000 IU per day, ecoMarine Norwegian Cod Liver Oil. while she eats well the vast majority of the time, no way can i get her to eat enough of these foods you've mentioned - must supplement... because, when people start aging, they stop doing what's best for them - must have caring daughter. seriously, please don't forget the supplements - old folks are not going to eat that much (so don't forget the old folks: ) thank you, and may our Great God and Savior Jesus bless you and keep you❤
I had to look septuagenarian up. That made me laugh! And not only is He our GREAT God and savior, He is our ONLY God and only Savior💗 Our God has many names 🙌
Thank you so much Dr. Berg, you amaze me everything single time. I don't know how many times I talk about you with friends, students and strangers. I will get your book for sure. Light 🙏🏾
Dear Dr., I was referred to your channel by a friend. What an enlightenment you have been. To the point videos with accurate research and thoughtful delivery. You are an amazing human. God bless you abundantly for the wonderful work you do.
Thank you for this video. Both my mom and my grandmother have/had macular degeneration. I thought it was hereditary. I'm going to eat more kale and spinach. I also plan on growing my own in the spring.
my dad had this. i now take care of my mom and she takes lutein because her dr recommended it when she had cateracs removed. and if shes running low, oh my, we will go to 3 or 4 stores to get it. So many things that just 20 yrs ago people suffered or died from that if they had it today it woyld be different. Thank you Dr Berg so much!
What's AMAZING is every time I hear of a new "symptom/medical diagnosis" I immediately come to CZcams type that in with Dr. Berg in the search and BAM, he has already covered it.. :) The moment I read this, I knew Dr. Berg was on it - "A special combination of vitamins and minerals (AREDS formula) may reduce disease progression."
I'm very surprised that Dr Berg made a video on macular degeneration and didn't even mention seed oils which have been implicated in the growth of the disease from a very rare condition in the 19th century to the scourge it is now.
First you say don’t eat spinach because of the oxalates. NOW you said eat spinach!? Berg, you got my head swimming. Can you PLEASE, PLEASE elaborate and clarify this? It’s very confusing! Do we or don’t we eat spinach which YOU SAID could cause stones!
Thank YOU so much Dr Berg. You have helped me on the right path for several things. God bless you❤. Wishing you all the best from Perth, Western Australia.❤
I’m 52 and had my first eye appt about a year ago. He said I have the early stages of it. What do you think is the best way to stop the progression or at least slow it down?
I’ve just been told I have this! On a routine eye test! I was shocked. She said Dry Molecular Degeneration. Waiting for hospital appointment now. Any advice would be really appreciated! Thank you! 🙏
Look up Dr John Bergman's channel and search for "eye" and you'll find Dr John DeWitt talkibg exrensively about eye health and how you can train your eyes. There miggt be something in it there for you too.
thank ya for the advice I reversed mine at one point by doing the right things for mine but I started eating wrong and not doing my walking and it got worse again. but I'm determined to whip macular degeneration..
up4atgal hang in there I have it to in my left eye. get some cruciferous capsules and take them and good eye vitiamins not Walmart or dollar store kind. and go for walks eye excercise study and don't listen to those doctors that give no hope....do palming the bates method and let your eyes rest.
Thanks Dr. Berg! Awesome information! I would add something to it and may be you can find much info about it and let us know in your way what to do. There is a important no-essential nutrient called Beta Carotene. When you consume it your body transform it in Vitamine A (Retinol) very important for the Vision! The richest sources of beta-carotene are yellow, orange, and green leafy fruits and vegetables (such as carrots, spinach, lettuce, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, broccoli, cantaloupe, and winter squash). In general, the more intense the color of the fruit or vegetable, the more beta-carotene it has. Thanks
Dr. Berg, What's your take on getting potassium from steamed spinach if one consumed 15 cups daily? According to the internet, steamed spinach has more milligrams of K than most other vegetables.
I don’t really like eating these vegetables, but prefer to drink Dr. Berg’s wheat juice from powder. Will that drink help fight off macular degeneration?
Get a Vitamix . . . even a reconditioned one. It makes great green smoothies among so many other things -- one of the best investments I have ever made.
Zeaxanthin = GOJI Berries also. Usually these are dried and as hard as uncooked rice when you purchase them, I put a dash of Brandy on them when they are filled in a Jar, not too much, or they'll glugg together.
Is it to late if you already have dry macular degeneration? My mom is 86 and 14 years ago she had knee replacement surgery, had 2 strokes within a week which led to Parkinson's and Dry Macular degeneration.
With Hashimoto's low thyroid, I've heard it's not good to eat too many cruciferous veggies---also in consideration of going into ketogenic & intermittent fasting keno mode. Help on the cruciferous veggies would be much appreciated.
I eat kale, and spinach each day but have been told I have the beginning of MD in both eyes. I also am getting off junk food. What foods not to eat? I also have floaters btw.
I am big fan of your videos. I am following all your tips for psoriasis.. looks it's working. As advised Glucotomine we are using. 3 MOnths over Coming to Macular hole, can this be reversed, or else manageable with glass.I am 64 now. Kindly advise.
I just came from my eye doctor and he told me I’m in the beginning he said I need natural fish oils dark leafy greens water astaxanthin blue light filter’s sunglasses is he correct
I would like to ingest most of the green veggies but I can't always shop for this. isn't there a list of pills that I can take instead? Thank you, Dr.Berg.
Energy from the sun going in plants which then are good for the eyes,.... You wonder if there is some kind of relation there? Going a little metaphysical there? 🙄 All energy we use on earth comes from the sun. So also the energy in kale and where ever it goes, it always comes from the sun. Seeing special relationships like the eyes work with light and energy coming from the sun,.... Is just what you want to make special. But you knew that already. 😎
I devoted a career to ophthalmology, never met an MD who told their patients this. They had Pharma manufactured vitamins they would pimp, but i NEVER heard a doctor counsel a patient to EAT their vitamins as whole foods. THANKS, Doc!
amommamust how do you get rid of iritis?
Amen, when a doctor suggests prescription drugs to me for anything the first thing I ask is *can I try a better diet and exercise*, a GOOD doctor would say *definitely but if after a certain amount of time I see no change for the better then you'll have to take this medication* I would have more respect towards him or her.

amommamust ...kaiser optometrist recommends eating dark green vegetables, and other lifestyle choices.
amommamust yes thank u

I've said it before and I say it again: "I love you Dr Berg! You're awesome!!"

I have been using Isotine Gold since last year and half and I found that my macula improved considerably.
Kaushik Sharma what's that

Please reply how are you taking isotine
Isotine gold is a capsule or eye drop. I just happened to.know ds thing just now. GOD BLS.
Dr. Berg, you are helping me treat my 16 yr old dog's dry eyes. Many thanks to you.
Vitamin A, C, E and Zinc are powerful also
First you say don’t eat spinach because of the oxalates. NOW you said eat spinach!? Berg, you got my head swimming. Can you PLEASE, PLEASE elaborate and clarify this? It’s very confusing! Do we or don’t we eat spinach which YOU SAID could cause stones!
You forgot berries which have Anthocyanins which are very beneficial for eyesight
What are some examples of berries that have anthocyanins?
I'd love to know some examples as well, please
Thankful dr Berg for your wonderful information. It's so useful always
Glad to know that you liked this post!

Would the chlorophyll in wheat grass juice powder help also?

Is kale powder/supplementts as effective as the actual kale plant?
Do you have any ideas how to fight muscular degenerative disease?

Does this work with raw kale , like in a smoothie?
Opthalmologist said I have this and need surgery for cataracts . Can you reverse macular degeneration

Dr. Berg could it be liver spots Dr. Joel wallack said it was.

He means a cooked egg and the yolk specifically is the best part of the egg
Energy from the sun going in plants which then are good for the eyes,.... You wonder if there is some kind of relation there? Going a little metaphysical there? 🙄
All energy we use on earth comes from the sun. So also the energy in kale and where ever it goes, it always comes from the sun. Seeing special relationships like the eyes work with light and energy coming from the sun,.... Is just what you want to make special.
But you knew that already. 😎
