  • What is unfortunate is that we have the cure in a "petri dish" and needs to be put on the operating table. We were able to restore the vision of an individual who had your symptoms. She did not get all of her sight back, but got enough of it to read print, see faces and even thread a needle. We are working hard to push the Adult Stem Cell procedure, hoepfully it will be available soon.

  • I got Cone Dystrophy which is the opposite to RP. Instead of night time blindness i can't see well in bright light, I'm colourblind, shortsighted and I also have nystagmus. It is stable and isn't getting worse. Its not supposed to get better either, but I've been looking into natural aids and one thing keeps on coming up is The Raw Food diet. I've been on it now for 4 weeks and wow what a difference.

  • @jamesmanortiz I hear it only helps night vision while your high. RP isn't an DOH approved condition yet tho.

  • @angie1michelle havent tried it but i have heard that is just a waste of money and doesnt helo :(

  • does medical marijuana help RP

  • Has ANYONE heard or had the Cuba Therapy done????

  • hi

    i have retinitis pigmentosa

    i tried 1 bottle of goji and i think it improves my vision a little

    i want to try it more but sad to say i cant afford to buy that

    so to all rich people who have retinitis pigmentosa will you please try this goji juice for yourself and please tell me how much this improves your eyesight!!!

  • I've been diagnosed with a form of retinal destrophy where my retina cells slowly get destroyed.

    I've already lost a lot of my side vision.

    The doctor told me there was no cure or treatment and that it was genetic.

    And that i had to learn to live with my disabilites and the prospect of even more loss of vision in the future.

    I have seen your video's and while they do provide hope you need to be honest with people.

    That ithere is promising research that could one day lead to a cure.
