Despite receiving regular injection at the VA in San Francisco I fear losing my central vision and only have wet in one eye at this point. This lecture was very informative. I'm baffled, however, that the VA in San Francisco uses injections that cost $2,000 each whereas I read in an article from the Chicago Times that a doctor there questions why everyone wouldn't be using one of the three which only costs $50 per treatment. Perhaps I will attempt to reach this doctor to answer that question, but this was very informative. Thank you!

The year 1900. MD almost unheard of. Then huge increase in manufactured so called vegetable oils and sugar in the food supply. By 2000, approaching 20%. Hmmmmm.
