In 2016, ophthalmologist and Associate Clinical Professor Emeritus, Chris Knobbe, MD, proffered a revolutionary hypothesis for both the cause and the treatment of age-related macular degeneration; since then, his supportive research, writings, and presentations have received tremendous accolades from colleagues and fellow nutrition researchers, alike. Knobbe has presented his hypothesis and supportive research on numerous stages all across the United States and for a number of organizations, including the Christian Ophthalmology Society, the Ancestral Health Symposium, the Weston A. Price Foundation, and the Macular Degeneration Association. Knobbe is the world's only ophthalmologist to have proffered such a hypothesis, but which has also been buttressed by supprttive research, published in the highly esteemed journal, Medical Hypotheses, in November, 2017. Ophthalmologist and retina specialist of the United Kingdom, Andrew J. Luff, MA, FRCS, FRCS(Ophtha), FRCOphth, writes, "As the prevalence of AMD escalates, the devastating consequences of visual loss take their relentless toll on individuals, families, and health economies. This epidemic continues to grow, oblivious to a plethora of research. A massive financial investment (both University-based and pharmaceutical) has made no impact on the incidence of a disease that has resisted minor nutritional tinkering and seen no significant gain from our exponentially increased knowledge of genetics. In researching our frustrating lack of success in the quest for a unifying cause of AMD, Dr. Knobbe concludes that we have been looking in the wrong place. "From a meticulous examination of ophthalmic history, comparative epidemiology and dietary change across the globe, he constructs a cogent and compelling argument for defects in basic nutrition as the fundamental driver of AMD. The data are stark and the potential consequences of dietary deficiency sobering. Dr. Knobbe's rational conclusion that a shift from traditional foods can wreak havoc on macular function will come as no surprise to those who have postulated similar cause for the multitude of chronic diseases now endemic in so-called developed nations. "His hypothesis is unlikely to be welcomed by those committed to pharmacological intervention. Furthermore, a radical change to the diet of billions will not happen quickly. However, for newly diagnosed patients seeking hope and clinicians struggling for an answer, Dr. Knobbe's remarkable book offers the first tangible lifeline. To impact on the visual health of a nation we need a paradigm shift in the attitude of government and a radical rethink of the artificially constructed boundaries between nutrition and medicine. The visual health of many millions of people worldwide over the coming decades may depend on whether Knobbe's message is heard by those with both the political power and the financial commitment to take action." Andrew J. Luff, MA, FRCS, FRCS(Ophtha, FRCOphth Vitreo-Retinal Surgeon, United Kingdom, Fellow of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists Dr. Knobbe's revolutionary hypothesis, extraordinary research, and scientific rigor, is second to none. After having read the book or seen Knobbe's presenations, many have remarked, "How can his conclusions be refuted?" Come see how and why you can save your vision, by following a delicious, healthy, satisfying diet, with virtually any food you desire, as long as it is made with "ancestral" ingredients. Shocking, but true!

Fourth Printed Edition: Updated June, 2016. The continuing story of how one man reversed wet macular degeneration in eleven weeks. This update includes follow-up results of a Fluorescein Angiography scan (with dye) that showed no bleeding in either eye. The author's Ophthalmologist said that the wet macular degeneration was completely reversed and that both eyes were very healthy. This has been accomplished without any medical drugs. "John Crittenden is one of those rare clients who goes way above and beyond the support and encouragement he receives and clearly doesn't take no for an answer. His intuitive nature and persistence, along with a passion to learn and the ability to listen, have allowed him to defy all odds outlined by conventional medicine. BLIND FAITH is a true story of encouragement, empowerment and hope. I encourage everyone with a chronic disease, or anyone that cares for someone suffering from a chronic disease, to understand that John's case outlines something greater than macular degeneration; this approach can be applied to any chronic disease state." Dr. Brian Davies, BSc, ND Comparison with current Anti-VEGF Injections published results: Avastin - 9.7 letters gained (in 52 weeks) Lucentis - 11.2 letters gained (in 52 weeks) Eylea - 13.3 letters gained (in 52 weeks) Crittenden Protocol - 35 letters gained (in 11 weeks) Crittenden Protocol - 50 letters gained (on August 28, 2015) If the author can do this then perhaps you can too. He is not writing about something he read or was taught in medical school. He is passionately writing about what he actually did and explains the full details of the protocol he developed and used. Like many of you he was told by his Ophthalmologist that there was no cure. This has been proven to be wrong. Now his Ophthalmologist (who is a professor and current head of the Retina Division at the University of British Columbia), says he has never seen this kind of regeneration before and told him to "keep doing what you're doing, you may change a lot of our minds." What You Will Learn From This Book 1. How the author reversed macular degeneration with his own naturopathic protocol in eleven weeks with continual monitoring by his Ophthalmologist. 2. How the author connected the dots between several fields of science to develop his food-based protocol. 3. Full details of his protocol and how it may be personalized for others by a Naturopathic Doctor. 4. More than 200 printed pages and more than 90 links to the science for those who want to do their own research. 5. How our bodies are creating new cells all the time, why this does not cure disease for many people, and what we can do to change that. Much, much more... BLIND FAITH is the true story of how one man discovered the answer to reversing wet macular degeneration thru diet and nutrition alone. The results are proven and cannot be challenged.
