FWIW

The mechanism of action of ECHO in this patient with Stargardt’s disease is not yet known. Our hypothesis is that dilute ECHO makes ACh more available to diseased neuroreceptor populations across the retina. Increased ACh levels may amplify the synaptic potential of the surviving photoreceptors and ganglion cells, making it possible for these reduced populations to achieve threshold and resume the propagation of visual information to the brain. This effect would parallel previously described mechanisms of drug action in other neurological diseases, such as Parkinsonism, Alzheimer’s Disease and Clinical Depression.

Thanks.

If they could really cure or at least halt the progression of MD, it would be a major advancement.

Wow, are you like, a scientist?

Great insight,(no pun intended) thanks.

I'd bet it helps micro-circulation in general, my experience has shown many problems in general can be traced to this root cause.

I'm going to pass this on to my friend who suffers with MD. It's too late for him since he's had 2 retinal detachments and 2 corneal transplants, but he teaches at Braille Institute and constantly "reads" this kind of news to share with his students.
