Question 1 from Bruno: “How does caffeine affect the eyes?” Question 2 from Gayle: “Please describe the difference between probiotics and prebiotic fiber?” Question 3 from Bob: “I am currently receiving Avastin injections for my wet macular degeneration. Are there any holistic alternatives.?” Program Note: For Question 3 What is VEGF? This is referred to as: Vascular endothelial growth factor. It is a protein that causes a growth of abnormal blood vessels found in conditions like wet macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy. Aside from pharmaceutical drugs, natural methods such as increasing lutein, zeaxanthin, astaxanthin, bilberry, the tocotrienol form of Vitamin E, Omega 3 fatty acids, and glutathione may be helpful in neutralizing some of the abnormal blood vessel growth. If you are a smoker or former smoker, do not use beta-carotene as this may lead to a higher risk of lung cancer.
