Six months follow-up of a Japanese Usher-syndrome patient
This Usher-syndrome patient from Japan gave us feedback after taking StemActiv for one week, two months, three months and six months. We pick up this patient’s follow-up, because he himself is also a medical staff, he has recorded his experience in detail. 1, After taking StemActiv for one week, he didn’t feel anything negative, night vision has got a little bit brighter. 2, After two months,his central vision blurriness was reduced, his visual field opened up, night vision improved. 3, Three months after taking ...

RP Vision and Exercise
It is widely held that following a healthy diet, exercising and reducing stress is beneficial to our health in general and also benefits our eyes, as regular and moderate physical exercise, activates micro-circulation and blood circulation, which brings more nutrients and oxygen to the optic cells. Aerobic and anaerobic exercise, which will benefit RP patients? Aerobic exercise has been found to be neuroprotective in animal models of retinal degeneration. It will lower intraocular pressure, which is pressure in your eyes, and that helps ... Read more
Make Your Vision Top Priority in 2022
There are a few things that the eyes need to function properly: Oxygen, Nutrients, Glucose and constant neurological stimulation through specific ocular neurotransmitters. Reduced blood flow to the retina will cause accumulation of toxic and waste products in the eye tissue, it can also cause insufficient blood and oxygen supply to the optic cells. Toxins can cause obstruction, contamination, inflammation, degeneration and ultimately result in vision loss. Dormant optic cells may be inactive, but are not dead or totally dysfunctional. Many neuro ... Read more
Is Vitamin A safe for RP?
Dietary supplementation with vitamin A is occasionally prescribed as a treatment for RP. However, there is one specific gene for which vitamin A is not recommended: ABCA4. This is because vitamin A accumulates toxic pigments in the retina and accelerates the progression of RP. It is not recommended that RP patients with the gene mutation ABCA4 take vitamin A. It is also recommended that people who take vitamin A supplements monitor liver function annually. Vitamin A is generally not recommended for ... Read more
High Fat Diet and RP
The retina is considered a window to the brain, and retinal degeneration is a complex process involving environmental stress, which can affect vulnerable neurons. High-fat diet induced metabolic alterations may influence retinal homeostasis and accelerate RP deterioration. The scientific study provides evidence that short-term high-fat feeding promotes glucose intolerance. It also triggers the expression of inflammatory and oxidative markers in the retina, because the high-fat diet increases the abundance of potentially pro-inflammatory bacteria. Thus, it speeds up photoreceptor degeneration by promoting oxidative stress ... Read more
How to differentiate autoimmune retinopathy and inherited RP
Recently we have received some patients’ inquiries, they are concerned they have been misdiagnosed and that unlike in the case of inherited sight loss, they want to know more about autoimmune retinopathy, AIR for short. What is AIR? Autoimmune retinopathy (AIR) is a term given for patients who have a rare autoimmune condition that results in loss of photoreceptor (rods and cones) function. The immune system protects us against infection, cancer and damaged cells. The orchestrators of the immune system are our white ... Read more
RP patient follow up after ten days, two weeks and 6 months
Feedback after taking herbal medicine for ten days: This RP patient from the UK gives us feedback after taking our herbal medicine. This voice message is after taking the herbal medicine for ten days. He felt a little bit clearer and the glare has reduced when going outside. Feedback after taking herbal medicine for two weeks: This feedback is after two weeks of using our medicine. His blurriness was reduced by 50%. His visual field opened up. Night vision improved. Feedback after taking herbal medicine ... Read more
Dormant cones are important for RP
Most RP mutations arise in rod photoreceptor genes, leading to diminished peripheral and night vision. To understand why cones die in RP and to be able to stop dying and revitalize dormant cones would be an enormous step forward. https://youtu.be/9xYkVagqSyY A group of researchers from the University of Louisville has made a step forward into reactivating dormant cones in the animal model of RP. First of all: why cones die in RP? Because rods allow the release of glucose from the Retinal Pigmented ... Read more
Exciting feedback from the RP patient: “It’s worth the value!”
We noticed a comment on our Youtube channel (Restorerpvision) from a RP patient, who has just started taking StemActiv around two weeks. Here is his comment: I AM RP PATIENT.I JUST BOUGHT 6 MONTHS TREATMENT OF STEMACTIV PACKAGE I AM 41 YEAR OLD AND I HAVE CENTRAL VISION ONLY I STARTED TO SEE THE CHANGE IN THE CORNERS OF BOTH EYES OPENING LIGHTS ITS WORTH THE VALUE COMPARED THE BENEFIT. I AM TELLING FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE I NOTICED THE CHANGE RIGHT ... Read more
StemActiv brings hope for Stargardt disease
This 19-year-old male patient suffers from Stargardt disease since childhood. His right eye vision declined dramatically in February 2021, due to fundus hemorrhage. Following are his OCT, FFA and ICGA images. Before StemActiv treatment, he could only see hand movement from the right eye. After the first VEGF treatment, his vision didn’t get change. His local doctor prescribed 6-months StemActiv and 3 times VEGF injections. In September 2021, his right eye vision improved from hand movement to 0.3, he can manage his ... Read more
