M.Jeffrey White M.D. Ophthalmologist and Environmental Medicine Specialist

M. Jeffrey White, M.D. is certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and the American Board of Environmental Medicine.Along with his many years in the private practice of Ophthalmology in Tampa,Florida, he developed one of the first toxic chemical detoxification units in the country in 1985. During his research on Macula Degeneration he found some early reports from European sources that found that antioxidants had a profound effect on the progressive nature and vision loss of this terrible condition. Since he was already using antioxidants in the detox unit, he reformulated and fortified the formula and it was produced by Douglas Labs as Ocu-Min Forte.. He began using this supplement on his own patients with the dry form of Macular Degeneration. He verified his findings with retinal colleages and retinal photographs.The results were very gratifying as these patients did not lose any furthur sight and some even improved.His fellow professors at the medical school derided this treatment as ridiculous and questioned the use of "vitamins" to treat this condition.Most physicians at that time did not know about antioxidants. Today it is standard treatment for Macular Degeneration using far inferior formulations. Currently the drug companies are making tens of million dollars from selling these cheap formulations to unknowing consumers.

Dr. White became interested in toxic chemical exposures and the effects on the human body at the Malcolm Grow Medical Center at Andrews AFB in Washington,DC.As the U.S.Air force colonel and the Commanding Officer of the reserve medical unit, he was very active with the complete operation of this major Air Force installation. The main bioenvironmental unit of the Air Force was stationed there. They were tasked to go world-wide to evaluate toxic exposure and strange unexplained illness in this large industrial complex. He learned a great deal from them and multiple other sources to become knowledgable in the field of toxicology. He became an expert witness in many legal cases of industrial toxic exposure in Tampa.

Dr. White presented a number of papers on toxic chemical exposure at numerous medical meetings. He also treated many patients in his private practice with gratifying results. He aso continued his prctice of ophthalmic surgery until just recently.

He left his junior year at the University of Louisville at age 17 to join the U.S.Marine Corpsand after Parris Island was finally stationed in Tientsin,China.He then returned to the university to complete his undergraduate degree and then completed his Medical degree. At graduation he joined the U.S Air Force.He interned in Denver Colorado and later became a Flight Surgeon and chief of the EENTclinic at Carswell,AFB in Fort Worth,TX. After completing his graduate studies in Ophthalmology at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia,PA he was assigned to MacDill AFB Tampa,Fl. After four years he accepted a reserve commission and began private practice in Tampa. He retired from the Air Force after his final assignment as the MA to the Command Surgeon Air Force Reserve.
