AMD Insight

A Metabolic Lens on Macular Degeneration

by Elliott English

What if the deposits destroying your vision share the same root cause as heart disease? A groundbreaking framework for understanding—and potentially reversing—age-related macular degeneration.

A Different Perspective

Drusen—the yellow deposits that accumulate beneath the retina in age-related macular degeneration—share a remarkable molecular fingerprint with arterial plaques. Both contain the same lipids, cholesterol, and inflammatory proteins. Both form in tissues experiencing chronic stress and compromised blood flow.

Yet mainstream treatment focuses almost exclusively on the final stage: injecting drugs to stop abnormal blood vessel growth. The underlying metabolic dysfunction goes unaddressed.

This book presents a different framework—one grounded in peer-reviewed research but largely ignored by conventional ophthalmology: AMD is fundamentally a metabolic and vascular condition.

What You'll Discover

The Metabolic Cascade

Why the retina—the most metabolically demanding tissue in your body—becomes starved of oxygen, and how this drives disease progression.

The Light Mismatch

How modern diets and indoor lighting create the perfect storm for retinal degeneration—and what you can do about it.

The CO₂ Connection

The surprising role of carbon dioxide in retinal blood flow, and why breathing patterns matter for your eyes.

Evidence-Based Protocols

Practical interventions organized by evidence level—from robust clinical trials to emerging research—to discuss with your doctor.
