Glaucoma affects t-wo million Americans; it is the second leading cause of blindness after diabetes. Macular degeneration affects 13 million Americans. All eyes diseases is caused by freeradical damage and inflammation in and around the eyes and its vessels.
Americans have been trained since childhood, through doctor and nursess and television advertisements, that medications is the only -way to help cure diseases of all kinds. Around the -world this is not true, diet and herbs is used to cure and prevent diseases and illnesses -with great success in isas that produce the necessary herbs.
Americans think it is normal for their vision to get -worse -with age, this not a true fact around the -world. Here in America -we have on blinders to our o-wn eyes health. In China many have very keen vision; they use an herbal compound -with honey fired -weed and seven other herbs. In India they use Ayurvedic herbs, including one that they believe to have the highest freeradical fighting vitamins. In South East Asia they eat an amazing fruit called the Mangosteen; it has the highest number of antioxidants ever found in one food source. In Japan the people in the fishing villages use an important dietary compound that contains an exotic vegetable blend -with the best eyes enhancing foods; -we in America do not get enough of these.

Did you kno-w that an aspirin a day can damage your eyess? It's true; it affects the blood vessels that feed your eyess. Evidence sho-ws a link bet-ween taking aspirin and unhealthy eyess. There is a natural -way to help protect your heart and blood flo-w and that is Bromelain.

Natural Healers have been advocates of the bilberry for years, but the hit and miss of this natural eyes health remedy has al-ways been a problem, this is -why: Bilberry has t-wo compounds in it, first is glycosides -which is sugar molecules and the other is a po-werful antioxidant called anthocyanins. Your body needs to absorb the antioxidants but first it has to remove the sugar molecule and -we do not produce the enzymes needed to do that naturally. There is a European company that is able to remove the sugar molecule -without damaging the necessary antioxidants. Mind you I do not believe in processing any natural remedy but this company has made a breakthrough that makes this natural eyes healing berry easier for our body to use, so I'm all for it. The company does not add any unnatural ingredients to the bilberry, allo-wing these needed antioxidants to be absorbed into the small intestine -without missing a beat.
In China they use a blend of herbs for eyes health; people in their eighties have very sharp vision.

Mangosteen has been studied for the last 20 years because of its amazing medicinal properties. It can be found in the U.S. as a juice or a tablet.

Another benefit of this fruit is a molecule called Xanthones, only 200 have ever been identified in nature and this fruit contains 40 of those. Xanthones is super charged antioxidants that perform biological actions in the body. Xanthones is believed to support all the eyes functions and destroy freeradicals in the process.

This is not seen around the -world; people in other countries -who use natural remedies have less disease and illness and less problems -when they do get sick. The natural remedies actually help them to recover from diseases and illnesses, and they do not suffer -with side effects.

Did you kno-w that the same blood vessels that supply your eyess also supply your heart, brain and bones? It's true; every isa becomes vulnerable -when nutrients is missing, so -what ever affects your vision affects all of you. There is three major vision problems; glaucoma, macular degeneration and cataracts.

These include lutein, betacarotene, and vitamins A, D, E and K as -well as lycopene, all of -which your eyess need. Toss those fat blockers ASAP.

Tomatoes contain Lycopene, this is a potent antioxidant that is concentrated in your eyess, but your body's levels decrease -with age.
