Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;<u><span style="font-size:9.0pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Background:</span></u><span style="font-size: 9pt;"> Junfeng BFS Water (JBW) is normal drinking water modified by means of a certain electromagnetic field. Animal studies have shown that drinking of JBW has a positive impact on microcirculation in different organ systems.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="font-size:9.0pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Patients and Methods</span></u><span style="font-size:9.0pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">: A randomized placebo-controlled double blind study was performed to examine the influence of JBW on microcirculation of the eye, functional outcome and subjective well-being. 60 patients / participants (age between 45 and 85 years) with normal eyes, chronic open angle glaucoma or dry age related macular degeneration had to drink 2 liters of JBW (JBW+) respectively normal drinking water (placebo group = JBW-) per day over a period of 2 months.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Eye examinations have been performed in both eyes at day 0, day 30 and day 60: best corrected distance visual acuity (logmar); OCT measurements of central and average retina thickness, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness; optical nerve head rim surface and volume, optical nerve head cup/disc ratio; tonometry and ocular pulse amplitude with Ziemer Pascal contour tonometer.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Statistical analysis was performed using the IBM SPSS program. Bivariate statistics were performed using the ANOVA-test. The level of significance was a=0.05.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="font-size:9.0pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Results:</span></u><span style="font-size:9.0pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US"> Ocular Pulse Amplitude (OPA) which is a direct parameter for ocular blood flow was highly significantly increased (t-test) in all 3 populations (normal eyes, glaucoma, macular degeneration) as well in the overall population of JBW+ compared to JBW- after 1 month and after 2 months.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Visual acuity, Tonometry and all OCT parameters did not show any statistically significant difference (a &gt; 0.05 in ANOVA-test).<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="font-size:9.0pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Conclusion:</span></u><span style="font-size:9.0pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US"> Our results seem to confirm former findings that drinking of JBW has a positive influence on microcirculation since we found a significantly increased Ocular Pulse Amplitude in a population drinking JBW compared to a placebo drinking control group. If these results can be confirmed by further studies and in larger populations this could mean in ophthalmology that diseases with a reduced microcirculation as for example Normal Tension Glaucoma can be positively influenced by the drinking of JBW.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
