Diagnosed with eye floaters and macular degeneration

Posted By Dennis (San Jose, CA) on 08/27/2014

Ted, my wife "Noy" and myself both started developing eye problems recently.

She has been diagnosed with Macular Degeneration and I have suddenly developed very noticeable floaters as well as flashes of light (streaks look like lightning).

We have for about 1 1/2 years fermented Nam-Mak in 55 gallon barrels in our back yard. We have most fruits, vegetables, cacti, melons and some more exotic Thai items like Magroot. We also have numerous other health problems. Is there any advise regarding use of Nam-Mak to correct the eye problems, joint pain, heart disease, prostate disease, etc.?

Can I impose on you to email your recommendations? Thank you.

Dennis,

Your symptoms could be concerning and a visit to your eye doctor may be in order. Here are the signs that you may have a detached retina:

This can be corrected if caught early. Best wishes.

I have had some good success using taurine for eye floaters. I use the powder as it's more economical. I do about 1/4 to 1/2 tsp/day and it has reduced the floaters by about 80% in the past two months. Worth a try.
