Since starting my eyesight-healing quest four months ago, I’ve discovered numerous resources and alternative treatment options for people determined to conquer Retinitis Pigmentosa..
Below, in no particular order, is a list of the resources that have empowered me and are helping me in this journey. (I’ll continue to add to this guide over the course of this year).
Diet
A former junk food addict (and big-time lover of coffee and wine), I’m now convinced that what we eat has a HUGE impact on our overall eye health. And as a result, I am now a big green juicing advocate.
Here are some great websites & documentaries focused on diet and disease:
- Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare: A powerful documentary about how changes in diet and lifestyle can reverse disease
- Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead : A great documentary about two guys who reversed their autoimmune disease through green juicing
- Kris Carr: Her story of successfully battling stage 4 cancer with diet is powerful and she now offers great recipes, books and information.
- Scientists Officially Link Processed Foods to Autoimmune Disease
- ALCAT – This company does extensive food allergy and environmental allergy screening. If you suspect that your RP is autoimmune based, it’s well worth getting tested for allergies.
Lifestyle
I’ve also learned that whole body health is key to eye health – which means staying physically fit and reducing stress. Meditation and exercise are bothl key.
- Jillian Michael’s Ripped In 30 – I LOVE THIS WORKOUT. It’s definitely helping me with core body strengthening and stress reduction
- Natural Eye Care: I love this website because it offers a comprehensive diet and lifestyle resource guide for RP, including free acupressure/eye exercises.
