Steve Liu, L.Ac.
Steve Liu, L.Ac. has had a booming acupuncture clinic for over 25 years thanks to deep expertise in PBM/laser therapies in treating chronic health conditions, and his treatment for low vision problems has been highly effective.
sMacular degeneration is not rare — it’s a growing epidemic.
Right now, nearly 20 million U.S. adults over age 40 have AMD, and 1.5 million are living with late-stage disease. Globally, we’re at 200 million and climbing toward 288 million by 2040.
And yet… the standard treatment landscape is bleak.
- Dry AMD: AREDS-2 supplements, and newer injections like Izervay and Syfovre — which slow the disease, but don’t bring vision back.
- Wet AMD: Anti-VEGF injections — often effective at halting further loss, but with limited restoration and ongoing treatment burden.
- In both cases, patients are told: “We can slow it down, but we can’t undo it.”
That’s where this protocol is different.
It combines a unique Danish acupuncture method with low-intensity LED light therapy — a safe, FDA-recognized “non-significant risk” treatment — producing results in as little as two weeks that go far beyond “slowing decline.”
Steve’s seen patients go from 20/200 to 20/40 vision… start driving again… read without magnifiers… and regain independence they thought was gone forever.
In this masterclass, he’ll show you exactly how I do it:
- How he integrates this Danish acupuncture method, targeted photobiomodulation, and Lifestyle Medicine for retinal healing that doesn’t just slow, but can return vision back to the patient.
- The treatment schedule and protocols that have worked consistently in his clinic for decades.
- Why this combination is uniquely positioned to set you apart in a crowded acupuncture market.
This is a rare chance to add a treatment to your toolbox that very few practitioners in the U.S. can offer — and that your patients desperately need.
This course shows acupuncturists how to combine acupuncture, PBM, and lifestyle medicine to treat the vision disorder effectively.
