Credi-Bull #5

Credi-Bull - a news item that might be fact, or might be fiction.

Doctors in Germany have reported a recent breakthrough on the treatment of some types of congenital blindness.

In a backwards-seeming concept, patients eyes are exposed to direct sunlight for short, precisely measured durations (3.221 seconds) across a series of treatment cycles.

The sunlight causes a specific type of damage to the retina (A-Wave Macular Degeneration) which activates latent regenerative proteins from the Choroid and Fovea ocular regions.

68% of patients showed a 15% increase in light sensitivity over a six month treatment program.

Real or Fake?

  2. Don't know if it's actually true, but I'd say it was plausible.

  4. I'd say false then...because no doctor would be caught dead coming up with something you can do for free.
