Simply..I can see clearly....

I can see that The Macular Society, the RNIB and the NHS are doing wonderful work here in uk on macular degeneration, as are the many researchers and pharmaceutical compamies.

I can see that hospitals are humbling places and I have the greatest respect for the consultants and nurses who deal with distressing emergencies and frightened people with such kindness and respect. I was present when a woman arrived who had woken up that morning completely blind in one eye.

I see that am lucky to be able to do so much research online, listening to experts in stem cell therapy, statisticians who look at world statistics and diet and to conferences around the world - it's fantastic that all this is available to me in a quiet Scottish village. There are also charlatans who prey on desperate people of course, and I have had to learn how to find trustworthy sources of information. It is fascinating.

I can see very well most of the time.

I hope you can see what a support you are to me!

Thank you so much.

Have you come across the New York Times' best seller 'The Brain's Way of Healing' by Norman Doidge ? Doidge is a psychiatrist based at Columbia and Toronto universities.

It's about the neuroplasticity of the brain and how it can both repair itself and the body. There are truly some miracles recorded in this book including reversals from brain damage, stroke, M.S, Parkinson's, blindness, chronic pain.

I shall look it up thank you Rosemary. I think Regenerative Medicine is a most exciting field.

I'm one of your many readers who hope that, should something similar befall us, we will tackle it in the head-on way you have. I find you totally inspiring.

To follow your example (in more ways than this one here now) I can see how over the years livesimplysimplylive and its creator have become a haven, a mirror, a source, a smile, an inspiration and a meeting circle.
I can see how you are able to choose the positive and gently nudge me to do the same on a bleak day.

I am so happy you can see very well most of the time.
