Losing your memory? Afraid of where this is leading to as you age? We propose that you have two choices: (1.) Wait for medicine to develop a drug or some other magic bullet. Could happen in the next 10 years. Or not. (2.) Start now to pursue with a vengeance all of the things that doctors are proposing as ways to improve brain health, improve memory and even reverse dementia. This podcast lays out the areas of research and the healthy practices that have been shown to improve brain health and memory. Note-search for "reversing cognitive decline" at OrganicMD dot com for a detailed description of the things you can do now, available as a downloadable PDF.

In the full Better Eye Health Program™, we have perfected a system of acupressure or needleless acupuncture that we call the Acu-Eye™ Program. You learn to stimulate the points in the program yourself, in your own home. The techniques of Oriental medicine have great value in helping people challenged by degenerative eye diseases like macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, Stargardt disease and glaucoma. Acupuncturists find that an aggressive micro-acupuncture treatment program can help when the treatments are done several times a day for one or two weeks, repeating this several times a year. Doing the Acu-Eye™ Program on a regular basis week after week in your home brings results that equal the more intense treatments that require weeks of travel every year. Combine the Acu-Eye™ Program acupressure treatments with the microcurrent stimulation, color therapy, eye health exercises in support from the Better Eye Health Program™ and you have a program that has been proven to improve vision and 90% of the people who do it. This is a three-part podcast, and this is part three. Link to? Acupuncture article.…… Link to full Better Eye Health Program™ description

You need minerals. You need a mineral supplement that is separate from and taken separately from your vitamins. We recommend products that contain humic and fulvic minerals, extracted from ancient plant sources, made in the United States. Vitality boost HA contains a mix of humic minerals (a colloid) and fulvic minerals (a solution) extracted from the same raw materials. It is the most concentrated product we offer, and the best value. They are dark, but virtually tasteless. Energy boost contains just the soluble materials. These also include amino acids that help regulate gut health, among other things. Pale yellow and clear, most people find these easy to take. If you need to mineralize the water you drink, this is the product we recommend. Immune boost is simply a 50-50 mix of the vitality boost HA and energy boost products. Link to minerals in the store.

Yes, more oxygen helps your eyes. There are so many ways to do this. We have seen people with macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa and Stargardt disease benefit from a regular practice of mindful breathing, breathing slower and more fully than you usually do. People also report benefits with more aggressive therapies such as hyperbaric oxygen or high tension oxygen therapy with 8 L per minute via a mask or nasal cannula. Finally, there is a treatment called Exercise With Oxygen Therapy (EWOT), if you have access to the equipment.

Taurine is in the basic protocol of eye supplements in the Better Eye Health Program™ because it is a raw material the body needs to repair and regenerate eye cells. Much of the regeneration and repair the body does occurs when we sleep, so we recommend you take taurine before bedtime, so it is in your blood and your body needs it. Also, taurine has been shown to support healthy sleep.

We recommend you do the eye health exercises in the Better Eye Health Program™ once a day, five days a week to start. If you want to do these exercises twice a day please do. No harm. Some people find these exercises relaxing, and will repeat them if stressed, or before bed to help sleep. If you have a lot of extra time in your day to devote to eye health, we recommend adding other healthy activities like walking, yoga, Pilates, Qi gong etc. Anything you do to benefit your overall health will benefit the health of your eyes.

Caffeine is a complex drug. It can both decrease and increase blood flow to the eyes and brain. For most, the stimulation caused by caffeine leads to an increase in sympathetic activity in our nervous system, which tends to decrease blood flow to the eyes and brain.

Taurine is an amino acid critical for rebuilding cells in the retina. It is often used to support healthy sleep. If you feel that taurine is affecting your sleep, please consult with your practitioner, as it is more likely that there is another explanation to be found.
