Chuck Was Blind At 61, But That Doesn’t Have To Happen To You


 
A New Discovery Quickly Halts and Even Reverses Eyesight Degeneration

Chuck was an Army colonel, a corporate president, a man of action. And at age 61 he found himself blind. Can you imagine what it was like for him to be pitch-black blind…so blind that he could not see the sun on a summer day? Can you imagine the blow to his self-image? To his self-confidence? To his independence?

It’s a scary thought, but as we age there are many ways that our vision can diminish or be lost completely. Free radicals constitute one of the major causes of vision loss. Free radicals are natural by-products of day-to-day biochemical reactions in your body, including ordinary metabolic processes and immune system responses. And, they are also caused by pollution, preservatives, heavy metals, UV radiation, and stress. And, too, if you’ve smoked or consumed alcohol or maybe tried a little ecstasy with that young sweetie you were seeing for a while, you have hastened your trip down the slippery slope of damage or destruction of your eyes.

You’ve seen the commercials for television devices to help people with macular degeneration to read. You’ve seen the spectacles with thick lenses. You’ve seen the halting steps of those with impaired vision. Now imagine yourself in that position. But, we all get older and we all live in a risky world, so what can we do? How can we protect our vision?

Now, at last, there is one product that could stop your eyesight from getting worse and even reverse any damage that has already occurred. That’s because of a new miracle combination of nutrients that can keep your eyes strong and healthy. These nutrients can even make it possible for you to improve your eyesight immensely — perhaps even make it possible to read and see things without always reaching for your glasses! Now there is a way to protect the delicate cells of your eyes from oxidative damage – to support optimum eye health. Now, you see, deterioration of your eyes is not an inevitable part of aging! There are now nutrients that can protect your eyes and have you seeing clearly again.

I’m Al Sears, M.D. I specialize in health maintenance, men’s health, and anti-aging medicine. In the early years of my medical practice, I grieved as my patients complained about thicker glasses...poorer vision at night...and the loss of freedom to do the things they once loved. Then, I got angry. I had to do something! So, I began to look into the science behind eyesight degeneration. What I discovered intrigued me, and what I want to tell you today will give you hope genuine hope for improving your eyesight.

After pouring over countless pages of medical documentation, I discovered that there dozens of convincing studies that show that certain nutrients - at specific doses – not only protect eyes from further natural deterioration, but even help to restore vision to where it had been years earlier. This knowledge offered the exciting opportunity for me to develop my own “private formulation” for eyesight restoration…a formulation that would be faster, stronger, and more complete than anything else I found available on the market. So, working with a team of specialists, I developed a product that does everything that my studies said a product should do. It’s the safe, fast acting, natural formulation I call Vita-Vision.

And, the thing that makes the formulation so special is the carefully selected group of critical nutrients in just the right dosage contained in Vita-Vision.  Let me explain.

European Berry Sharpens Night Vision

Throughout history, there are countless anecdotes describing the many purported medicinal properties of the fruit of the wild European shrub, bilberry, including improvement of blood circulation, treatment of dysentery and diarrhea, and treatment of urinary problems. Among the best-documented effects, though, are the improvement of vision and nearsightedness, the reduction of eye fatigue, irritation, oxidative damage from free radicals, night blindness, and restraint of cataract development. My favorite story is that British Air Force pilots often ate bilberry jam before missions. These men were reportedly much more accurate at hitting German targets at night with their bombs. It was believed that improved blood flow in the eyes allowed for better vision and prevented eye problems. But, one thing’s for sure. Modern science is now beginning to verify that anecdotal evidence. Two controlled studies of bilberry have found that the herb improved night vision. [i] [ii] A later, double-blind, placebo controlled study found that bilberry also improved visual response. [iii] More recently, we’ve discovered that bilberry triggers the production of rhodospin, an eye protein that helps you see at night. And, human trials conducted in Europe show that bilberry may prevent cataracts, [iv] and may even help people with mild macular degeneration. [v] [vi] I guess it’s understandable that many ordinary vision formulas focus on bilberry, but my medical research tells me that you also need other ingredients to keep your eyes functioning. Does that make sense to you?

 Ginkgo Biloba Improves Long Distance Sight

Ginkgo biloba has been used for over five thousand years in Chinese medicine. In France and Germany, an extract of this herb is a nationally registered therapy to support circulatory health. Ginkgo biloba has also been used to encourage optimal circulation, healthy cranial blood flow, free-radical destruction and cellular protection. Ginkgo biloba, like bilberry, increases blood flow to the capillaries and tissues in and around the eyes. In fact, a study conducted at Indiana University Medical Center revealed that ginkgo biloba significantly increased ocular blood flow velocity by at least 25%. [vii] Both nutrients also strengthen the eyes’ capillaries so they can easily carry eye-protecting nutrients to the areas where they are most needed.  

“I have prescription glasses for distance, primarily driving. Now I rarely use my glasses during the day. Since taking Vita-Vision I have noticed a big improvement in my vision. I always freaked when I didn’t have my glasses in the grocery store, large department store, or the mall. Now I can read the aisle signs without my glasses and don’t worry when I’ve left them in the car. Vita-Vision makes me feel as though I have more energy and my eyes seem clearer. I’m recommending it to others.”

 The Four Horsemen of Eye Protection  
- Those Wonderful Carotenoids

There are four carotenoids in my formula. There is increasing evidence that these carotenoids protect the lens and retina from age-related loss.

A number of studies intended to examine trends in a population suggest a link between lutein and zeaxanthin and decreased risk of eye disease:

·         In 1994, a National Eye Institute (NEI)-supported study indicated that consumption of foods rich in carotenoids -- particularly green, leafy vegetables such as collard greens, kale, and spinach -- was associated with a reduced risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD). [viii]

·         In 1999, data from the Nurses Health Study showed a reduced likelihood of cataract surgery with increasing intakes of lutein and zeaxanthin. [ix]

·         In 1999, a follow-up to an NEI-supported population-based study -- called the Beaver Dam Study -- concluded that people with diets higher in lutein and zeaxanthin had a lower risk of developing cataracts. [x]

·         In 2001, data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey reported that higher intakes of lutein and zeaxanthin among people ages 40-59 may be associated with a reduced risk of advanced AMD. [xi]

But that's not all...Far from it! Research performed at the Schlepens Eye Research Institute and Department of Ophthalmology, Harvard Medical School established that zeaxanthin plays an essential role in protecting the retina of the eye from the damaging effects of light. And, a 2004 study by the North Chicago VA Medical Center found, “Patients ingesting the lutein supplement experienced significant improvements in several objective measurements of visual function.” [xii] But, that’s just two of the members of the “four horsemen” of eye protection. 

The third member of the “four horsemen” is lycopene. Like the other carotenoids, lycopene is a powerful antioxidant that protects your cells and tissues from the oxidative stresses caused by free radicals. But, even more important, lycopene supercharges lutein and zeaxanthin. Carotenoids in a mixture are even more effective in preventing free radical damage than single carotenoid compounds are alone. So, lycopene reinforces the effects of lutein, zeaxanthin, and beta carotene. [xiii] 

Beta carotene, the last of the “four horsemen,” was studied with a group of antioxidants and zinc by the National Eye Institute. Their findings will really impress you. Read on….

“This product is amazing. I now can drive a car and read longer without my eyes getting tired!” 
Steve Wilson

“Antioxidants and Zinc Significantly Reduce Risk of Vision Loss”

That’s what the National Eye Institute of the U.S. National Institutes of Health had to say about it! In an October 2001 press release, they said, “ High levels of antioxidants and zinc significantly reduce the risk of AMD and its associated vision loss.” The scientists found that people at high risk of developing advanced stages of AMD lowered their risk by about 25% when treated with a high dose combination of vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and zinc. They said, “The nutrients will play a key role in helping people at high risk for developing advanced AMD keep their vision.” [xiv] And, if that’s not enough…

There Are Even More Vision Protecting Or Vision Enhancing Ingredients!

That’s right! There are fourteen high quality, vision enhancing and vision protecting ingredients in the Vita-Vision formulation. I can’t stress this enough. I included every proven nutrient you need to keep your eyes strong and healthy. Just take a look at the chart on the next page. Compare the nutrients and the doses in Vita-Vision to those in other vision products. Nothing else measures up!  

I’ve been using your  product Vita-Vision for over two years. Since taking your product I’ve noticed that I’m not reaching for my eyeglasses all the time. The other day I went to take my drivers license test and the girl said, “.. you don’t need glasses?” My son and our preacher are now also taking Vita-Vision. Thanks.”

Vita-Vision Is Guaranteed To Improve Your Vision Or Your Money Will Be Refunded

As a medical doctor, my word means everything to me. Here’s my pledge to you:

Try Vita-Vision for 60 days. Pay attention to your eye “habits.” Be aware of what you can and cannot see without your glasses. Notice how far away you hold a book or magazine. Experiment with your ability to read road signs from a distance.

And in a few weeks you will be seeing more clearly than you ever imagined. You’ll start to see objects – at any distance – with sharper focus. Once blurred street signs and small printed words in a book will be easy to read. Your vision will begin to get stronger day by day.

I know this is all hard to believe...but I have many patients who have had remark­able success with Vita-Vision. And that’s why I want to make it easy for you to give this incredible product a try. If it doesn’t have you seeing better…clearer…and sharper than ever before,  then just return the unused portion of your bottle and I will return every penny of the purchase price. That’s a 100% money-back guarantee if you aren’t satisfied for any reason whatsoever!

 “My eyes were blurring a lot. Thank you for sending me the infor­mation about Vita-Vision, my eyes are much better. It has a lot of the herbs I need for my eyes. I’m very happy with it and I have told others about it.”

Joan Penrod, Clearwater FL

 “This past August I went in for my annual eye check and was unfortunately told that my eyesight got drastically worse especially at night. So after reading about Vita-Vision, I thought it would be worth a try. After a few weeks my night vision improved ten-fold! Even my wife is happy, since I don’t have to turn on the lights during the middle of the night to walk the dog. I have already recommended it to my mother.”

Martin Rosenberg, Hicksville, NY

 “I’ve been interested in a product that would strengthen my eyes. I’m used to having “floaters” drifting across my field of vision. Since I’ve been taking Vita-Vision they’re almost completely gone. My vision has been greatly improved and at times I no longer need corrective lenses to see in the distance. I’m very satisfied with this product and am going to recommend it to family and friends.”

Robert Jenson, Elmira, NY

  “I might not throw away my glasses but Vita-Vision has certainly helped. I showed this formula to my ophthalmologist and he was very impressed. I have already recommended Vita-Vision to my friends and family.”
