Retinitis Pigmentosa
Retinitis Pigmentosa is second to AMD in the number of patients treated at the Micro Acupuncture Center ™, often coming from far away to receive treatments. With Micro Acupuncture ™ treatments, the RP patient can expect to regain about 15 degrees of the already lost vision field and will in most cases also note some improvements in the outer peripheral vision. In cases where the central vision (macular edema) is affected, Micro Acupuncture’s ™ effect on Macular Degeneration helps to regain the central vision.
The progress of the treatments: after 6-10 treatments, improvements can be noted in the vision field and the acuity test, this confirms that the treatments are working, within the next 15-20 treatments patients will note that things come back in to view. The more treatments, the more vision, until no further improvement is noted over a 10 treatment segment, with 12 to 14 treatments, once or twice yearly seems to stabilize the vision.
Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a group of eye diseases where about half the cases can be the inherited kind and the other half does not show any family history of RP. The latest studies suggest that RP is connected with gene defects, some of these defects cause insufficient amount of a number of proteins and amino acids to be created, which cause incomplete photoreceptors with very short lifespan and week light sensitivity (predominantly rod photoreceptors).
That causes the light sensitive rods to weaken and night blindness occurs, this is the foremost first symptom in RP, after that lose of peripheral vision leading to tunnel vision and final some lose the central vision (total loss of vision).
Due to the complexity of RP, it’s difficult to say when it starts, there are forms of RP starting in 8-18 month infants, then some in 2-4 year infants, then 4-8 year kids, (age 2-8 the appearance can be mistaken be mistaken for Stargardt’s Disease), and finally at 30 to 40 years of age.
So if you notice any change in vision whatever age you are, please see an Ophthalmologist. If you are diagnosed with RP please consider not using Birth Control and ED Medication.
Recommendations: take a good multi vitamin, with at least 20mg lutein and about 25.000 IU of VIT-A (max 7.500 IU Vit A palmitate) and Phosphorus. We recommend: Micro Acupuncture™- Vision Supplement and drink plenty of water.
After an evaluation of what information is available about RP and the other connected symptoms, comparing this with rules of acupuncture, there may be a relation to the kidneys, therefore drink plenty of water.
MICROACUPUNCTURE VISION SUPPORT
This product is formulated to promote proper functioning of the eyes. The nutrients are provided as a supplement for those that are beneficial or lost with aging or long time malnutrition. Vitamin A, besides being beneficial to mucous membranes, is essential to the formation of visual purple pigment which is necessary for proper night vision. Raw eye concentrate is added to assist in cellular repair. Lecithin provides lipotrophic factors (for controlling cholesterol), and the herb, eyebright, has been used for many years to benefit vision. Lutein is found naturally in the lens and retina. The amino acids are precursors of Glutathione, which is found abundantly in the lens, but its concentration diminishes with age. Antioxidant minerals are added to slow down the progression of cataracts and macular degeneration.
