A few years ago I was told
that I was very young to have MACULAR DEGENERATION but not much could be
done about it. I was told to look at a grid every day to see if there
were any changes, and then to call the doctor. I was also told that some
doctors think vitamins and minerals might be helpful, and if in 5 years
"they" said "Yes, vitamins are helpful," I would have 5 years on
it.
Note: Many people do not know
what Macular Degeneration is. The Macula is the most sensitive part of
the retina. The Macula focuses on the center of our field of vision,
controls reading and fine detail work, and eventually people have only
peripheral vision. For example, you could see the outline of a clock,
but not be able to tell what time it is.
The beginning of June, I
could not read a page or two without getting so tired that I had to lie
down for 15- 20 minutes. So I had just about stopped reading when my
husband and I decided to take our first trip to Hawaii. Let me say it
was very depressing not to be able to read more than a few pages at a
time about a place I had wanted to go since childhood.
On June 11, 1997, I started
taking Noni Juice. After a week I noticed my back did not hurt any more
from the ARTHRITIS, and curves in my spine, and I felt
FANTASTIC!
About the 25h of June, I
realized that I had just read about 40 pages of Noni literature before I
tired. Still I didn't make a connection to Noni. After feeling so good
and telling others about Noni I became a distributor and ordered the
Satellite Video.
On the video Dr. Mona
Harrison was talking about Macular Degeneration and that it was
reversing the problem. That is when I realized what was happening to my
eyes; they were getting better. Thank you, Morinda, and Dr. Ralph
Heinicke for all your work in bringing Noni to the world It's been an
answer to my prayers.
On August 27, 1997, while
helping out a new distributor, I realized that I could make out the
"a's, e's, c's, o's in print. Before that the print was blurred, and I
would guess most of the time as to what the sentence said. In checking
the grid (that I hadn't looked at for a while), I also realized that
there were VERY FEW wavy lines, so I am extremely anxious to see my
doctor in October.
September 19, 1997: I can
thread a needle again. I can actually see the eye of the
needle!
Update: October 24, 1997. I
went in yesterday for my yearly check-up on the Macular Degeneration.
The doctor came in and said that the Macular Degeneration was not worse.
I asked, "Is it better?" He answered, "Well, it is easier to see if
something is worse than better, and you are the better judge of
that."
So I told him about the
reading, etc. He seemed very interested, and I think was ... because he
was the one who told me to go ahead and take vitamins in case five years
down the road the "experts" would say, "Yes, vitamins really do help
with Macular Degeneration.".
Since I first found out about
the Macular Degeneration on December 4, 1995, I have had three more
prescription changes for my lenses. Now my eyes are back to what they
were on December 4, 1995, and again I will say, Thank you
Lord.
Prayers are answered, and how
many other people are also praying for help or a miracle that we might
be able to help with God's wonderful gift to us of Noni
Juice.
We simply have to tell all
the world about Noni!
