Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is the most common cause of irreversible blindness in people over the age of 65. As 
many as 1/3 of people over 65 will develop this condition. It is a slow progressive disease that affects the central area of the retina called the macula. This is the location of the retina responsible for central vision, which gives us the greatest detail in our sight.
Laser treatment has been successful in some cases of wet macular degeneration when the hemorrhage is distant to the fovea (central part of the macular) In many cases, laser treatment will cause a further loss of vision and will destroy healthy retinal tissue. Several alternative therapies which preserve the retina are showing great promise in slowing the progression and in many cases reversing degeneration. These therapies address the underlying problem strengthening and balancing the retinal tissue.
Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM)
A new technique called Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) has produced a dramatic improvement in treatment outcomes of macular degeneration using microcurrent stimulation. Instead of using basic generic frequencies which have a low level affect on the diseased eye tissue we now can use frequencies specific to the retinal tissue and the pathology. The energy is driven into the area needed for tissue repair.
The roots of Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) date back to the early 1900’s from Dr. Albert Abrams, who was the first physician to use calibrated instruments capable of detecting the radiations of living tissue. Dr. Abrams concluded that all matter radiates electromagnetic energy and the characteristics of the radiation depends upon the unique molecular structure.
Modern FSM utilizes hundreds of frequencies within the range of .01 to 999 Hz with varying intensities of 20 to 600 micro amps. Each tissue in the body has an individualized frequencies for example the retina has a frequency of 95 Hz and macula 137 Hz. Each type of pathology also has a frequency. Hemorrhage has a frequency of 18 and edema is 14.
FSM is “frequency specific” because the frequencies of the tissue and that of the pathology are “matched” with two frequencies. For example hemorrhage in the macula the FSM treatment would use 18 Hz and 137 Hz. This coupled frequencies then matches the exact abnormalities that are present in the damaged tissue. The desired effect is to neutralize those frequencies that are in disharmony.
Color Therapy
Color light of a specific wavelength is directed into the eye which then affects the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system. Evidence shows that disease is caused by an imbalance in these systems. Restoring this balance can be an important step towards healing. When the parasympathetic system is suppressed the body has a difficult time to heal disease. Healing will not take place unless there is a balance in the autonomic system. Color therapy can help. The red spectrum has been documented to stimulate the sympathetic system. No we do not want this since most of our life takes care of this very nicely! The color red has been associated with anger and increase heart rate and an increase in blood pressure. Blue on the other hand will relax the sympathetic system and stimulate the parasympathetic. Think about how relaxing the blue ocean water and blue sky can be! A vacation to the beach can be very healing.
The 73 year old College of Syntonics has investigated specific color wave lengths and has studied the affects on eye disease. This research is on-going but data indicates that certain frequencies of blue green light can improve the vision in patients with macular degeneration and certain frequencies of green light can lower the pressures in patients with glaucoma. The key is “certain frequencies” each color can have a myriad of frequencies and the task is to identify the best frequency that resonates with the eye Just like in the use of microcurrent the success of color therapy depends on selecting the proper frequency for the patient.
