Dr. Devinder Chauhan - 'Eating For Macular Health' 

Summary: spinach, nuts, olive oil and fish are good. High GI food and vegetable oils are bad. Carrots are useless. Very clear and useful presentation. Thank you.

Just wonderful presentation! Aside: who the hell thumbs down a doctor trying to save your sight?!

Excellent presentation! Engaging simplified point of view , without any fluff or attempts to humor the audience.

Thank you Doctor. Thank you very much

great explanation DR Divender thanks you .....Sir

Thank you 🙏🏻

I learned a lot. Thank you doctor! ❤

Thanks for posting this. The pathophysiology is explained very well. Though it appears the good doctor is not representing all of the literature, with his dietary recommendations.

Excellent.

Children are eating as their parents or worse - it is not genetic but result of eating processed food which include mostly sugar and processed "vegetable = seeds" oils. Watch other video about real reason of macula illness. It is not an aging illness; In the regions where people don't have access to such oils they live longer and having much less macula problems.

Dr Devinder, have studies been done using SERRAPEPTASE? Im very eager to see or hear about the results. And were the first studies done on animals?

My mom received monthly injections for diabetic md. After her double bypass heart surgery, no more injections have been needed.

I was disappointed that there was no mention of Epiretinal membrane or macular pucker disease!

Thank you for this wonderful explanation of age related macular degeneration. I have never really understood what happens. I do not eat fish, so I will try to do so. I was shocked to find out I have AMD because I eat large quantities of green, leafy vegetables and consume lots of eggs, which are a rich source of lutein. I also stopped eating vegetable oils years ago and went back to butter. I will now eat spinach more often to see if that helps. I don't eat a cup a day of spinach. I am sure future studies will confirm that sugar plays a role. I ate too much sugar most of my life and have blood sugar problems. (I have stopped my high sugar consumption.) I suspect that is what is playing a major role in me developing AMD. I also did not protect my eyes from sunlight as well as I should have. I don't think I owned a pair of sunglasses as a child. I think my family likely looked at them as an unnecessary luxury for a child. I only bought them in my teens and less for protection and more as a fashion statement.

No mention of saffron...

Are injections for dry macular degeneration as well as wet?

WOW AMD first diagnosis patient

Thank you Doctor. Could you elaborate on Olive Oil please? I use it all the time now and use Organic I don't use any vegetable oils. Can you or would you recommend a brand that is better and more pure form (i.e. imported directly from source like Italy)? thank you so much!

So no frying or even sauteing of fish in any kind of oil??

just Spinach ? what about other dark greens .. eg Chicory, Rapa, Chard ?

Ceftin an antibiotic is what gave me MD and cataracts. Before, I had 20/20 vision. After the Ceftin within maybe 2 weeks my eyesight worsened.

i got Macular Hole when i was 15 year old Is this For Me Aswell?

Seed oils quadruple your risk of MD, wow. My vision improved on keto, my optometrist had to decrease my prescription.

Incompetent ophthalmologists from Monash hospital eye clinic in Melbourne shall listen to this and learn. This is because they do not issue rating recommendations to clients, they do not recommend AREDS supplements and the only thing they are capable doing is watching how AMD goes from dry to wet

I've been diagnosed with Macular Degeneration, but it's in early stages I guess, left eye only see a little bit darker around the center, I think I'll try eat more Spinach now

so,it means sunglasses is bad and should not wear?

Would have liked to hear about eye floaters.

Terrific overview! Also check out Dr. Mercola's in depth interview with Dr. Chris Knobbe's remarkable findings on the history, cause, and prevention of AMD. Brilliant insight complementary to Dr. Chauhan's presentation. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lpxBDtDLz9c.html

Spinach makes my joints inflame. Can't walk inflame. Sucks.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👁👁👀

Is there a good alternative for fish for vegetarians and vegans ?

In today’s world blue light is essential.. computer jobs , phones for communications , tvs videos games 😰

The Japanese are close to a cure for this.

i am on 2nd stage 8:41

BUTTER!?

Some people get rich off of causing more scar tissue..

I am skeptical of studies claiming absolutes, many studies have been wrong or inaccurate. For every pro study, you will find a negative study. Questions need to be asked of studies and claims such as, who did the study and when. Who were the people studied and what were their health and age, and for how long was the study, Were there any conflicts of interest? I don't believe anyone should be wearing glasses of any kind, especially sunglasses. The eye is a muscle, that needs exercise and light on it. The optic nerve connects the eye to the pineal gland and the brain carrying vitamin D from the sunlight. Many people suffering from depression are deficient in vitamin D. All glass lenses have a film on them that blocks out the good rays of the sun UVB as does car windows. I do not trust or believe that carrots are not beneficial for protecting and improving eyesight. Because many other studies show that vitamin A is known to benefit your eye health by: Protecting your corneas Decreasing the risk of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration Delaying peripheral vision loss Creating a protective layer against bacteria and viruses Alleviating the symptoms of dry eye syndrome Slowing vision loss in people with retinitis pigmentosa Impeding the progression of Stargardt’s disease On the other hand, vitamin A deficiency can lead to: Dry eyes Night blindness Vision loss Interestingly a celery stick is shaped like a bone and snaps like a bone, and is full of sodium and good for the bones. A walnut is shaped like a brain and contains essential oils to protect the brain. A tomato is blood red and had four chambers, full of vitamin C and potassium protecting from high blood pressure and heart disease. Carrots have vitamins A and C good for the eyes, cut the carrot in half and what do you see? The shape of an eye. At the age of 40, I went for my first ever eye test and was told that I was one step away from needing glasses to drive, then I was immediately asked if I would like to view some frames? I thought to myself why does a business based on profit test my eyesight? Should it not be an independent body? How can I believe that the business is an honest one and that the test is accurate? I decided to research and experiment from then on, discovering that there are simple exercises to improve one's eyesight, there is a science behind it, and many books written about it by scientists and doctors. I did those and addressed my diet as well, I have never smoked. 25 years later (two months ago) I went for my second eye test and was told that I am nowhere near needing glasses, I have very strong eyesight for my age the optician told me, and at your age, we usually recommended getting tested yearly but you wouldn't have to come back for another two years. I still don't need glasses, I never wear sunglasses ever and expose my eyes to the sun a lot. I exercise my eyes daily (hardly any effort at all and it's interesting). We have been told many lies, one of the biggest is to hide from the sun and lower cholesterol. Cholesterol-causing heart disease is a myth and a sinister ploy to cause illness and make pharmaceutical companies more profitable. Our eyes and our bodies need the sun to manufacture vitamin D3 which is vital for every cell in the body including the eyes. One of the main functions of cholesterol is to manufacture vitamin D from the sun through the skin. It doesn't matter how much you sunbathe, for as long as you have low cholesterol your body will not manufacture enough vitamin D3 through your skin. 40% of the world's population is vitamin D deficient. Wearing sun cream with its toxins and petroleum penetrating into the bloodstream causes cancer while blocking out the good rays of the sun. The sun does not cause cancer if you do not burn and be silly about it, it's the lack of sun, processed foods, and vegetable oils along with the carcinogen chemicals you put on your skin that causes cancer. The sun is your greatest friend, it makes the grass and the flowers grow and it keeps our immune systems strong as vitamin D3 is a hormone. We are told to hide from the midday sun and put a hat and sun cream on! Where did that advice originate from? Sunscreen manufactures by any chance? Where is the science behind it? Stay out of the midday sun? We can only manufacture vitamin D3 between the hours of 10am and 3pm when the sun is the strongest and highest in the sky, we do not get any vitamin D from the sun in the winter if living in the northern hemisphere. It is no coincidence that people get ill in the winter with a lack of sufficient sun. They are telling you to hide from the sun during the only period your body can manufacture vitamin D 3!!!! They don't want you well, your illness, their profit. We have been lied to about high cholesterol because low cholesterol is a fallacy and leaves you open to illness and disease. One doctor called low-fat foods genocide! As they remove the good fats and replace them with vegetable oils, sugar, salt, preservatives, pesticides, MSG, and foot colorings, and they call that health foods??? Sugar is the real enemy and cause of heart disease, not fat. There is no science proving that cholesterol leads to heart disease, on the contrary, it is vital for protecting our cell membranes. If our cholesterol levels are low we leave our hearts and brains exposed to damage like dementia, Parkinson, MS, and heart disease including macular degeneration. Every cell in the human body consists of a third cholesterol, the brain contains 30% cholesterol, and the liver produces 75% of our cholesterol, it's that bad for us!!! And the rest comes from our food.

I notice that peanut butter featured in an image accompanying your caveat about vegetable oil, and yet you recommend eating nuts once a week. Could you please clarify this matter, Doctor?

This makes the 3rd doctor to tell me that FISH oil (although not harmful) isnt THAT beneficial.,, In fact one famous eye doctor I went to here in Phoenix, az said "dont waste your money on buying fish oil."...Okay I guess I'll throw mine out..Who wants to buy 2 bottles of unopened fish oil for pennies on the dollar??

Avacado oil

Great charts. Invaluable information. But, um isn't a word. Please take a speech class. Spend a day or two and get rid of you any irritating speaking habits for life. The smartest people in society should be the best speakers.

Low carb?

Dr Chauhan This presentation is on LoCarbDownunder. I therefore assume you are a proponent of low carb or keto diet. You loose credibility regarding lo carb diet, when you yourself have obvious abdominal fat. (Sugar, Fruit, Grains?) So your personal diet cannot be optimal for healing eyesight or preventing eye diseases. Sorry to be so blunt. Do you have a comment?

Well design supplements have a lot more to offer than this good doctor believes. There is more to carrots than he believes too. Science is just beginning to illuminate the impact of nutrition on the eyes. There is a lot to learn yet. A more humble approach to his presentation and knowledge would have been more appropriate and also more effective.
