Alternating Current Stimulation for Vision Restoration after Optic Nerve Damage: A Randomized Clinical Trial 

Neurobiology of Disease

>  Our patented microcurrent signal causes tissues to release SDF-1 the universal stem cell homing signal (investigational use only).
>  Working with our partner in Florida, Bioheart, Inc. (founded by Leonhardt Ventures 1999), we are able to harvest stem cells from fat tissue at the clinic with a kit OR back in their GLP certified lab –http://www.bioheartinc.com/assets/press/FDAregistration.pdf – in Sunrise, Florida with expansion of quantity by cell culturing (investigational use only – training courses are available) –  EyeCell is developing a series of clinical trials for utllizing of stem cells and endothelial progenitor cells combined with microcurrent stimulation for the treatment eye diseases such as wet and dry macular degeneration and seeks co-investigators and researchers to join us.

Fourth Annual Symposium on Biologically Closed Electrical Circuits

Presented by Grace Halloran, Ph.D. to the

Fourth Annual Symposium on Biologically Closed Electrical Circuits, October 27, 1997, Sponsored by Mankato University, Minnesota

Abstract

From December 1995 to September 1997, thirty individuals diagnosed with typically untreatable eye diseases including retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration, CMV-retinitis, Stargardt disease and others attended an integrated treatment protocol employing bioelectrical stimulation, nutritional and herbal supplementation (including Ginkgo Biloba, Lutein, DHA) and other health care modalities. The study was monitored by a neuro-opthalmologist, evaluating standard clinical visual function examinations, including objective field of vision tests obtained by the Humphrey FOV analyzer, visual acuity and color discrimination. Four controls were evaluated, with the monitors masked, and although the sample was small, the results were significant in their lack of change.
