Dr. Courtney started his career as a high school teacher and his passion for learning motivated him to earn a medical degree in anesthesiology. After studying at West Penn Hospital, he founded his own practice and began incorporating alternative and complementary medicine in 1994, finding many of his patients with serious health problems were not interested in traditional medical approaches. Dr. Courtney and his patients eagerly pursue alternatives to traditional procedures not usually seen in orthodox western medicine. He is actively involved in physician organizations that promote integrated medicine such as the Executive Boards of both ACAM (American College for the Advancement of Medicine) and ICIM (The International College of Integrated Medicine). He is a respected authority on natural and integrative disciplines and is mentor to physicians and patients alike. Working closely with Dr Edward Kondrot for over 10 years, Dr Courtney has founded the Pittsburgh Eye Protocol, an affiliate of the Healing Eye and Wellness Center located in Dade City Florida. Dr Kondrot is the world's leading homeopathic ophthalmologist, and is renowned for his 3-day Healing the Eye Treatment, which will be the topic of discussion for this Psychiatric Grand Rounds. Dr. Courtney produces the radio show "AM-Impact On Your Health" 3 days a week on an all health talk radio station KHB 620. It is also available LIVE on the Internet Mon, Wed and Fri at 8:00am Eastern, on Dr. Courtney's YouTube Channel, where archives of over 10 years of past shows are available

Pittsburgh native, who became very frustrated
by the ineffectiveness of conventional eye

Americans.
• It is caused by an increase in the fluid pressure
inside the eye which damages the optic nerve.

eventually their central vision.
• Conventional Rx: Eye drops for the pressure but
“Nothing can be done” for the vision.

17. Dear Dr. Kondrot, on the 5th April it will be exactly two years ago that I received
treatment for “wet” ARMD diagnosed in my right eye in your clinic. I am so grateful to
report that my eye has healed completely and I suffer no discomfort from it.
I can read normal newspaper scrip and smaller print without effort. Prior to your treatment
I could hardly read newspaper sub-titles.
I took up your advise seriously and changed my lifestyle completely upon return to South
Africa. Food intake, including fresh fruit and vegetables are part of my daily diet. I also
started walking for exercise, but got a liking in speed walk and are now a member of our
provincial team. I will be taking part in the South African Masters Athletics Championships
which will take place on May 18th and 19th of May in Pretoria.
“Thank you” are small words but it comes from my hart to express my feeling of thanks to
you.
A friend heard my testimony recently and asked for your details. He is Mr. J Guldenhuys
from Bloemfontein. I belief that he has already forwarded his medical reports to your
office. I told him that there is one person in the USA that can help him in the same
manner as that I was helped.
Best regards,
Arie Benade.
