Over the last several years, original research conducted by FitEyes.com has supported the observation that our internal state (which largely consists of our thoughts and emotions) is fundamentally related to the health of our eyes.

In a prior article about the best foods for fit eyes , I strongly recommended blueberries, grapes and raisins. I said, "According to Dr. Abel, [blueberries, grapes and raisins] contain anthocyanins, which improve night vision. A cup full of blueberries, huckleberry jam, or a 100 mg bilberry supplement...

While at an out of town seminar, I learned a little about MicroAcupuncture. I have not tried it myself -- and I do not know if I will. I believe I can probably harness more power by directly using Qi (also spelled "chi") to heal myself. (Acupuncture works on the basis of Qi.) However, for those...

Ocufors is a natural, plant-derived product that has been found to be 30% more effective...
