Dr. Rosenfarb Treatment: Week 1 Test Results
I wish all of you were here to share a bottle of champagne with me, because I’m in serious celebration mode. After five days of treatment with Dr. Rosenfarb, my first round of test results are in. And they are AMAZING. I knew I was in bad shape. But didn’t fully appreciate how bad off […]

This is me undergoing my daily acu-laser treatment. (I had no idea I look so sci-fi.) I asked Dr. Rosenfarb if he could provide an overview of how his laser acupuncture treatment works.

I’ve been so focused on halting the progression of this disease and proving all those retinal specialists wrong that lately I’ve forgotten my most important life rule: to embrace the present and live fully in the Now. I’ve gotten a few reminders along the way from people like Dr. Andy Rosenfarb, who sent me a […]

A lot of people have asked me which supplements I take for my eyes. While I’m no expert, I’ve pieced together a regime based on recommendations from both Dr. Andy Rosenfarb and Dr. Damon Miller that seems to be a good mix. Here’s the list: TUDCA – A liver detoxifier believed to prevent death of […]

I’ve had so many people contact me asking about my experience with acupuncture that I’ve decided to share all of my thoughts about this in one place.
