Working closely with Dr Edward Kondrot for over 10 years, Dr Courtney has founded the Pittsburgh Eye Protocol, an affiliate of the Healing Eye and Wellness Center located in Dade City Florida. Dr Kondrot is the world's leading homeopathic ophthalmologist, and is renowned for his 3-day Healing the Eye Treatment, which will be the topic of discussion for this Psychiatric Grand Rounds.

GLAUCOMA

• A group of eye diseases that affect 2.2 million Americans.

Dear Dr. Kondrot, on the 5th April  it will be exactly two years ago that I received treatment for “wet” ARMD diagnosed in my right eye in your clinic. I am so grateful to report that my eye has healed completely and I suffer no discomfort from it.I can read normal newspaper scrip and smaller print without effort. Prior to your treatment I could hardly read newspaper sub-titles.I took up your advise seriously and changed my lifestyle completely upon return to South Africa. Food intake, including fresh fruit and vegetables are part of my daily diet. I also started walking for exercise, but got a liking in speed walk and are now a member of our provincial team. I will be taking part in the South African Masters Athletics Championships which will take place on May 18th and 19th of May in Pretoria.“Thank you” are small words but it comes from my hart to express  my feeling of thanks to you.A friend heard my testimony recently and asked for your details. He is Mr. J Guldenhuys from Bloemfontein. I belief that he has already forwarded his medical reports to your office. I told him that there is one person in the USA that can help him in the same manner as that I was helped.Best regards,Arie Benade.Rustenburg, North West ProvinceRepublic of South [email protected]
