Question
Dear Imran:

What can I do to maintain eye health. Thanks


Answer
Dear Michael,

Thank you for your letter.
I advise good nutrition as well as sun gazing.

There is a supplement called fruta vida.
Available here:   www.tryfrutavida.com/main      

This supplement improves eye sight via the absorption of high quality nutrients. These support almost all systems in the body, improve blood flow, boost immune functions, balance hormonal and nervous functions as well as brain/heart functions. There is no other supplement i would advise besides this one.

Sun gazing is to be practiced at sunrise and sunset only, as UV levels are very low at that time.

Gaze directly into the sun, keeping eyes calm and relaxed. Start with 2-3 minutes per day and increase onwards from there. Keep your attention in your eyes not the sun. This way one is combining the benefits of solar rays supported by inner energy/attention. Eyes regenerate faster this way.

This protocol combined with nutrients is very effective and over time should restore your eyes 100%.
Remember though; sunrise and sunset only. Never in-between.

General Dietary Recommendations:

Cut out all soy products, except fermented soy. Miso, tempeh and soy-sauce are healthy. [fermented]

Soy contains goitrogens which depress thyroid function. It also contains phytic acid which hinders the bodies' ability to absorb proteins, calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc. In general it is an enzyme inhibitor.

Also, please make sure you avoid all artificial sweeteners:
splenda, sucralose, aspartame, nutra-sweet, equal, acesulfame potassium.

Splenda/sucralose have become very popular these days and are just as bad if not worse than aspartame. These sweeteners are very toxic and are found in store bought vitamins, protein powders, anything sugar-free, gum, chocolate, soda... etc. Please read labels carefully and cut out all artificial sweeteners. This is very important.

Soy and artificial sweeteners both weaken the immune system. And the immune system is one of the keys to healing any illness.

Cut out all margarine and hydrogenated fats. Cut out canola, rapeseed and soybean oils. These are very unhealthy. Replace with butter, ghee, unrefined coconut oil, sesame oil, and virgin olive oil.  

7 glasses of water per day is a good idea to help flush out toxins from the body. Warm or room temperature water, never cold. Never drink tap water. It must be filtered.
Avoid drinking distilled water. It leads to mineral depletion and hair loss.

This concludes our protocol.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

I wish you much success with your health.

Imran
