Macular Therapy by Hancke: Working mechanism

On the brochure of his practice you find the headline: "Macular Degeneration starts in the brain, our therapy does, too".

Mr. Hancke says that the brain was the regulating head for the functions in the eye. The brain regulated as a superior the functions of the entire visual system and thus is responsible for the health of this system including the eyes. Therefore the main reason for macular degeneration is not to be found in the eye itself but has to be searched for and found in the brain.

His therapy was aimed to procure the relevant brain areas to restore more power and thus to help them to implement the regeneration in the eye again as they have done before the disease in order to ensure the health of the eyes, or to counteract a macular degeneration. According to Jürgen Hancke the brain regulates the metabolism, blood circulation and nerve functions of the eyes and thus directly controls the healing mechanisms of the macular.

If the performance of the brain decreases during aging or for example through outer or inner stress it leads to the brain not being able to guarantee the regulation of the macular functions and thus the always needed self healing of the macular due to overload. This could only be counteracted with a performance increase in the brain, says Mr. Hancke.

Summarizing the above the macular therapy by Hancke ought to further basically those self healing mechanisms which were always responsible for the health of the eyes but have suffered in performance during the disease. The therapy by Hancke is used at both the dry and wet form of macular degeneration.

Macular Therapy by Hancke: Course of the Macular Therapy

The brochure of the practice Hancke says that in advance of the therapy a by Mr. Hancke especially developed examination takes place. This would help to gain examination results which are done under realistic and natural conditions. It would allow making an assessment of the chances for success directly following the examination due to made experiences in similar cases from the past.

Patients told us that basically first the forehead acupuncture by Hancke is done with several acupuncture sessions per day where from several 100 points in the forehead area for each patient an individual combination is chosen.

The therapeutic pair of glasses follows and is manufactured according to the philosophy by Hancke as well as to the previous activation through the acupuncture.

The third and last therapy part of the Macular therapy by Hancke contains recommendations for the daily life giving the patient individual advice in order to deal better with his macular degeneration on a daily base respectively further even more the already by acupuncture and pair of therapeutic glasses made improvements.

Macular-Therapy by Hancke: Risks

Acupuncture involves, to our knowledge, no risk to actively bring damage to the eye, unless the needles are stabbed into the eye directly. According to our knowledge the needles are set in the forehead area at the Macular-Therapy by Hancke, not into the eye itself

At the acupuncture of the Macular-Therapy by Hancke bruising may occur where the needles are injected when a small vessel is accidentally hit. This causes basically no further complications and the bruise usually disappears again after a week or two.

Sterile and disposable needles are used. Experience shows that the risk of infection is extremely small here. There is not one single case of such an infection known to us.

What can happen to our knowledge in acupuncture (even with the Macular Therapy by Hancke), is that someone does not react towards it at all. In this case there is no health disadvantage, but the disease is further progressing without being influenced by the therapy. It is said that about 90% of all people respond to acupuncture.

Jürgen Hancke says that even if a part of the retina seems to be dead this part often was only inactive. Only really dead areas of the retina would stay functionless but areas which have at least a small rest of life had a chance for improvement.

Jürgen Hancke says he could not guarantee a success, just like and other medics, but according to his practice brochure most of the patients with wet as well as dry macular degeneration could be helped.
