Q. My wife had macular degeneration, and our ophthalmologist said it would just get worse. We immediately started taking bilberry fruit capsules because I wanted to be pro-active.A year later, we returned for her annual eye exam. The doctor's assistant administered the exams. After checking her three times, she took her folder to the doctor and told him in front of us that the assistant last year sure messed up the exam. The doctor replied, "I administered that exam myself and I know it is proper." The assistant exclaimed that the macular degeneration was only blocking 25 percent of vision instead of 45 percent like last year and that was impossible.
The doctor asked what we had done and I told him about the bilberry. He was pleased with her progress. When she passed away three years later at age 82 she had no more macular degeneration.
A. Bilberry has a reputation as being good for eyesight. There has been very little research on its power to treat macular degeneration in human beings, though there are some intriguing animal data.

What wonderful news, thank you for sharing it with us all. How much bilberry did your wife take daily?
Thank you
was this wet macular degeneration or dry?
That picture sure looks exactly like the wild blueberry found here in Alaska. Is "billberry" a synonym for "blueberry?"
PEOPLE'S PHARMACY RESPONSE: BILBERRIES AND BLUEBERRIES ARE CLOSELY RELATED AND IN THE SAME FAMILY. BILBERRIES ARE NATIVE TO EUROPE; BLUEBERRIES ARE NATIVE TO NORTH AMERICA.
I would like to know where can I buy bilberry fruit capsules ? ? ?
please tell me how many bilberry capsules I should take and where I can purchase the bilberry fruit capsules. I am currently taking a multi-vitamin for the eyes put out by Dr. Julian Whitaker called Vision Essentials, the bilberry dose in the capsules is 320 mg, should I take a larger dose?
I'd like to second that request for further information on the lady whose macular degeneration was significantly helped by bilberry. My mother-in-law was diagnosed with wet MD several months ago and has been taking bilberry since. Her sister has had dry MD for years and bilberry doesn't seem to have helped much. Does bilberry tend to help wet MD more than dry MD, or vice-versa?
Thx
Sorry, but this seems too good to be true. I know bilberry, or blueberry or huckleberry (wild blueberry) is good for your eyes. What is the name of the person or her husband so this can be verified ?? Are you just trying to sell Bilberry??
PEOPLE'S PHARMACY RESPONSE: WE DON'T SELL BILBERRY. WE FOUND THE STORY COMPELLING.
