Microcurrent stimulation treatment protocols are designed to help people with retinal disease. MCS works by supporting nourishment and healing to the back of the eyes as well as possibly some cell regeneration. Retinal tissue is easily the most complex tissue in the entire body, and we tell people that they need to commit to regular treatment for a year, because it may take up to a year before they first see results, though benefits may be seen much sooner.
For individuals researching microcurrent for eyes, microcurrent eye therapy, or a microcurrent eye treatment approach for retinal health, microcurrent stimulation therapy has been studied for its potential to support retinal and optic nerve function.
A number of research studies have suggested that daily use of specific microcurrent stimulation for eyes helps promote retinal (as well as optic nerve) health in 3 different ways:
We’ve all experienced tired eyes, but did you know they are also linked to brain fog?
One factor of tired eyes is decreased rate and velocity of blinking. The blink function is key to keeping the surface of our eyes moist, and helping prevent tired eyes. With fatigue, the blink rate slows and the eyes feel more tired.
Tired eyes is a common complaint to eye doctors. The possible causes include:

Researchers have noticed that patients with severe or fatal covid-19 are usually deficient in the amino acid and powerferful antioxidant, glutathione.
In fact, some researchers feel that glutathione deficiency may be the Trojan horse of covid-19-related death.1
Did you know that how well your gut works is directly related to your healthy vision and your healthy brain?
Healthy gut microbiota function is linked to normal central nervous system (CNS) function. The microbiota is defined as all microorganisms in a particular location, such as the GI tract, and their respective genetic material. The microbiome is initially developed transmission through the placenta, amniotic fluid, and meconium. The human gut microbiota comprises more than 100 trillion microorganisms associated with multiple functions, from nutrient metabolism to protection against pathogens.

People with cardiovascular disease may be at a higher risk of developing certain eye diseases including macular degeneration, retinopathy, retinal bleeding, a retinal vein occlusion, and blurred vision.
Good vision requires, among other factors, adequate blood circulation, and normal blood pressure. The eyes have a network of tiny blood vessels, each no wider than a strand of hair, which supply blood to the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eyeball.

The FDA’s approval of aducanumab as a treatment for Alzheimer Disease in June, 2021 was controversial. There were a number of known side effects and new information from clinical trials reveals possible serious consequences. Acucanumab was developed by Biogen and is being sold by Acumen as a $56,000-a-year treatment for Alzheimer’s.
According to an article in Nature1 the FDA’s advisory committee of outside experts and Alzheimer’s specialists recommended waiting on aducanmab approval, but it was fast-tracked and approved anyway. The committee reported that benefits were unclear and that there were serious side effects. Although Acumen claimed that aducanumab is likely to provide cognitive improvement, the statistics may not back that up. Unsurprisingly, the pharmaceutical company, Acumen, filed papers for a public stock offering immediately after approval.

Does Sunlight Danger Outweigh the Benefits?
Many studies demonstrate that exposure to sunlight provides protection to diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and a variety of cancers, and avoiding sunlight may influence their progression.1 It has been thought that these protections are due only to vitamin D, whose creation requires sunlight, but researchers are now reporting that circadian clock influencing, immune response modification, and nitric oxide, melatonin, and serotonin formation are involved as well.2 In fact, researchers are finding that the risk of skin cancer increases with irregular patterns of sun exposure, while regular patterns convey relatively lower risk. This is the difference between getting sunburned versus a brisk daily walk in the sunlight.

Why are mitochondria essential to your health and well-being?
Mitochondria are the energy batteries of our cells. They are tiny organelles within most cells of the body that provide respiration and energy. Low metabolism develops in the brain as we age and is noticeable in brain regions where mitochondrial structure has changed. 1 The mitochondria attempt to replace themselves whenever they are damaged and destroyed. However, mitochondrial biogenesis can be disrupted. Mitochondrial disease, oxidative stress and free radical damage, drinking alcohol, eating a poor diet, and heavy metals can harm the mitochondria. Research on links between mitochondrial dysfunction and Alzheimer’s Disease are underway. The good news is that lifestyle and natural supplements can support healthy mitochondria functioning.

The latest Townsend Letter features co-owner of naturaleyecare.com Michael Edson, L.Ac., MS and his article, Underlying Causes and Natural Treatments for Alzheimer’s and Dementia.
The publisher’s discussion of Michael’s article also mentions that studies report that the Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) vaccination reduces the risk of dementia by 42% with similar results for flu and pneumonia vaccines. Both results may be due to reduced overall inflammation in the body.
Food for the BrainEating a healthy diet is one of the critical factors in helping both maintain good brain, eye and overall health. Also, the way we eat affects our digestion and how well we are able to breakdown and absorb the essential nutrients in the food we take in. Here are some basic recommendations.
