Myth: Glaucoma cannot be prevented

I was listening to a radio program this morning when the radio host was interviewing an "expert" ophthalmologist. Probably an expert on the medical side of "treating" and "diagnosing" eye problems. But certainly no expert beyond that. The treatment that she mentioned was mainly the dreaded "surgery" or to put eye drops for this and that eye problems, like for cataracts, glaucoma and other vision problems. There was NO mention at all about the body's internal health.

This "expert" ophthalmologist also mentioned that there was NO way to prevent vision deterioration except through regular eye checks. As though if you had eye problems it was because you were "unlucky" and that it "just happens" randomly to just anybody. What total ignorance by a so-called "expert"!

If you were to believe that there was NO way to prevent vision deterioration and not understanding your body's nutrition needs, then you would just continue to eat recklessly and in oblivion till you go blind! And you wonder why there are so many people who go for cataracts operation, lasik surgeries and the like.

Many people don't realize that the root cause of glaucoma and most vision problems, is because our liver and kidneys are so congested due to years of reckless and poor eating. "Contaminated" blood is loaded with toxins (from man-made processed foods, drugs and a polluted environment) and has become sluggish. The thickened blood causes bad circulation, thus reducing oxygen and nutrient supply to the eye cells, creating a host of eye problems.

Research may show that glaucoma runs in the family, but this is simply because the family has the same poor eating habits and lifestyle! It's not because you were born in the wrong family, nor because you have bad genes! Just please look at your poor eating habits and poor lifestyle.

If you think that your vision is deteriorating, it's time to take steps in order to slow-down the deterioration, or probably even reverse it. Do you know that wearing glasses doesn't help your vision to improve? It may correct it for a while so that you can see. But then why do you have to keep increasing the "power"? Do you realize that it is really these glasses that make your vision get from bad to worse? Are you going to continue to allow these glasses to damage your eye sight further? Who will benefit more when you wear glasses? Is it you or the optician?

My mom who at 67 has her eye sight slowly failing her. Heeding my advice, she's been taking carrot juice and some other anti-oxidant juice I make for her. She reported that after drinking these juices, her eye sight improved tremendously, sometimes almost instantly.

Many years ago, when an optician told me that I have to wear glasses, I cried. Being vain as I was (and still am), I refused to wear glasses. I had a slight long-sightedness and bad astigmatism which prevented me to drive at night. Knowing the benefits of carrot juice and foods high in anti-oxidant, I have corrected my vision by actively eating of these healing foods. Today, I still have perfect vision and whenever I go for an eye check, the optician would marvel at how far my eyes could see without aid.


Preserve your eyesight, preserve your beauty.

So, how do you prevent vision deterioration? If you feel your vision is slowly failing, you can play an active role to reverse the condition. Firstly, start "cleaning-up" your blood. Stop polluting your blood already with over-eating, eating of processed foods, taking over-the-counter drugs, excessive (commercial) sugar/salt consumption, eating deep-fried and barbecued foods, excessive consumption of animal proteins and no exercise.

THEN, increase and regularly consume foods that are rich in anti-oxidants that are naturally found in God-made fresh fruits and vegetables. You could experience an almost instant improvement to your sight. But continue with your healthy eating to see long-lasting results. Your vision is priceless, and is worth preserving and preventing at all costs. SD.
