@mazeppabob. Is there a specific discussion thread for macular degeneration? It would help me prepare for what is likely coming if there were. I was wondering if anyone has experience with FSM (Frequency Specific Microcurrent) for macular degeneration and anything else. This link explains what it is and has a tab to locate practitioners who use it. https://frequencyspecific.com/about/ From checking the locator tab I read that Cleveland Clinic (relatively near where I now live) has around 30 medical professionals trained and using FSM for a variety of things, including macular degeneration. I couldn't tell from the doctors listed which one were eye specialists. The first time I read about FSM, I was pretty dubious; but I I don't the Cleveland Clinic would be embracing it if it were quackery. My trusted integrative health doctor in Winona, MN has an article about it on her web site, which is how I first heard about it. Happy New Year! Nancy

Hi @nla4625, here are a few discussion related to macular degeneration
- Is there an eye drop for macular degeneration? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/e-degeneration/
- Wet Macular Degeneration https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/wet-macular-degeneration-1/
- Macular Degeneration and Osteoporsis Medication: possible link? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/macular-degeneration-and-osteoporis-medication-possible-link-in-studie/
And a discussion about FSM (Frequency Specific Microcurrent) in the Neuropathy group:
- Anyone Tried Frequency Specific Microcurrent Therapy? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/anyone-tried-frequency-specific-microcurrent-therapy/
I have seen a few articles calling FSM quackery however. For example https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/frequency-specific-microcurrent/ And then this clinical study citing potential promise https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26719667/. I would investigate closely and ask many questions.
