Guest guest Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Dear Marilette, Atma Namaste! We have a seven year old patient with Drussen Disease. Please kindly send us a background of the disease and PH protocol. Thank you in advance. Warm Regards Diana =================================== Dear Diana, Namaste. Thank you for your email. Medical Background: Macular degeneration is a condition that damages the macula, the central part of the retina. The macula is responsible for central vision and the ability to see detail. What It's Like Street scene This is how a street scene looks with normal vision. Next Slide with Macular Degeneration This is how the same scene looks with macular degeneration. Previous Slide When the macula is damaged, the eye loses its ability to see detail, such as small print, facial features or small objects. The damaged parts of the macula often cause scotomas, or localized areas of vision loss. When you look at things with the damaged area, objects may seem to fade or disappear. Straight lines or edges may appear wavy. What Are the Different Types of Macular Degeneration? There are two types of the disease: dry macular degeneration and wet macular degeneration. Dry macular degeneration Ninety percent of people who have macular degeneration have the dry form of the condition. Yellow deposits called " drusen " form under the retina between the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) and Bruch's membrane, which supports the retina. Drusen deposits are " debris " associated with compromised cell metabolism in the RPE and are often the first sign of macular degeneration. Eventually, there is a deterioration of the macular regions associated with the drusen deposits resulting in a spotty loss of " straight ahead " vision. The continued presence of drusen interferes with the blood flow to the retina and, in particular, to the macula. Less blood flow reduces the nourishment to the macula causing its light sensitive cells to stop working efficiently, or atrophy. You will sometimes hear dry macular degeneration referred to as atrophic macular degeneration. Occasionally, a large area of cells will stop working. This is called geographic atrophy, which produces a distorted or blind spot, also known as a scotoma, in the central area of vision. People who have dry macular degeneration may experience a gradual loss of detail vision. Wet macular degeneration Though the wet form of macular degeneration affects only 10 percent of people diagnosed with the disease, it accounts for almost 90 percent of the severe vision loss associated with the condition. Dry form patients who have large drusen without clear borders or who have many drusen that run together are at greater risk for developing the wet form of the disease. With wet macular degeneration, new weak blood vessels may grow in or under the retina causing fluid and blood to leak into the space under the macula. As a result, wet macular degeneration is sometimes called exudative macular degeneration. (An " exudate " is material, such as fluid, which has escaped from blood vessels and has been deposited in tissues.) You may also hear wet macular degeneration described as choroidal neovascularization. The choroid is the area of blood vessels beneath the retina, and neovascularization refers to growth of new blood vessels in tissue. In choroidal neovascularization, blood vessels from the choroid grow into the macula. Symptoms Both the dry and wet form of AMD cause no pain. The most common early sign of dry macular degeneration is blurred vision. As fewer cells in the macula are able to function, people will see details less clearly in front of them, such as faces or words in a book. If the loss of these light-sensing cells becomes great, people may see a small – but growing – blind spot in the middle of their vision. The classic early symptom of wet macular degeneration is that straight lines appear crooked. This occurs when fluid from the leaking blood vessels gathers and lifts the macula, distorting vision. A small blind spot may also appear in wet macular degeneration, resulting in loss of one's central vision. Sources: Vision Connection, Light House International; National Eye Institute, " Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) " Pranic Healing: 1. Invoke and scan before, during and after treatment. 2. Instruct the patient how to do proper pranic breathing. Ask the patient to do 12 cycles before start of treatment then, to continue during treatment. 3. General sweeping. 4. Localized thorough sweeping on the eyes, the ajna chakra, forehead chakra and the back head minor chakra alternately with LWG and ordinary LWV. Rescan the eyes. Repeat step 4 until the energy of the eyes remain stabilized and clean. 5. Energize the eyes through the ajna chakra, forehead chakra and the back head minor with LWG, LWV then gold. Simultaneously visualize the energy going to the eyes. 6. Localized thorough sweeping on the crown chakra, jaw minor chakras, temple minor chakras and throat chakra. Energize them with LWG then with more of ordinary LWV. 7. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back heart chakra. Energize through the back heart with LWG then with more of ordinary LWV simulatneously visualize the heart becoming brighter. 8. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back solar plexus and the liver. Energize the solar plexus with LWG, LWB then ordinary LWV. 9. Localized thorough sweeping on the basic chakra alternately with LWG and LWO. Energize the basic with LWR. 10. Localized thorough sweeping on the navel and th elowe abdominal area. Energize the navel with LWR. 11. Stabilize and release the projected energy. 12. Repeat entire treatment 3 times per week for 3 months contineously or more. 13. For the patient: - Do not over use the eyes. Rest from intensely using the eyes every few minutes. - Practice proper pranic breathing for 12 cycles per session, several times per day especially when experiencing stress. - Avoid unecessary stress. - Eat a nutritionally balanced healthy diet and drink sufficient amounts of fresh water daily. - Regular physical exercise. Love, Marilette 1. Pranic Healing is not intended to replace orthodox medicine, but rather to complement it. If symptoms persist or if the ailment is severe, please consult immediately a medical doctor and a Certified Pranic Healer. 2. Pranic Healers who are are not medical doctors should not prescribe nor interfere with prescribed medications and/or medical treatments. ~ Master Choa Kok Sui Miracles do not happen in contradiction to nature, but only to that which is known to us in nature. ~ St. Augustine Reference material for Pranic Healing protocols are the following books written by Master Choa Kok Sui: Miracles Through Pranic Healing, Advanced Pranic Healing, Pranic Psychotherapy, Pranic Crystal Healing.
