Contact lenses provide extended pain relief to laser eye surgery patients

Scientists are reporting development of contact lenses that could provide a continuous supply of anesthetic medication to the eyes of patients who undergo laser eye surgery — an advance that could relieve patients of the burden of repeatedly placing drops of medicine into their eyes every few hours for several days.

Homeopathic alternatives to antidepressant drugs

Depression lowers the spirits and drowns the eyes in sorrow, though tears aren’t the only reason why depressed people sometimes can’t see straight. Depression also caves in the chest, slumps the shoulders, and inhibits full breathing, usually forcing unhappy people to…

Vison Problems: Dry Eye

Dry eye is a condition in which you will find insufficient tears to lubricate and nourish the eye. Tears are essential for sustaining the health of the front surface of the eye and for supplying clear vision. People with dry eyes either do not create enough tears or have a poor high quality of tears. [...]

11 shocking things you now realize to be true (but you never would have believed them just three years ago)

(NaturalNews) We are living through a time of great awakening . The people of our world are beginning to open their eyes and realize the stunning depth of the scams and collusion taking place all around them. These scams that steal their wealth, poison them with chemicals, enslave them with financial trickery and control their minds with propaganda. These scams are the very fabric of modern government , the mainstream media, universities and so-called “science” institutions. Here are 11 of those scams that you probably never would have believed just 2-3 years ago; but now you probably realize these are true! Welcome to the real world, my friends. Now that we recognize the depth of the scams, let’s change things for the better. (Occupy America!) #1 – Most of the honey you buy in the grocery store contains no actual honey whatsoever It’s true, the so-called “honey” isn’t even technically honey. Most of it is made of cheap “mystery” sweeteners, illegally imported from China, right under the nose of the FDA. http://www.naturalnews.com/034123_honey_pollen.html http://www.naturalnews.com/034102_honey_consumer_alert.html #2 – The fluoride that’s dripped into municipal water supplies is actually a highly toxic industrial chemical byproduct This scam is exploding in the faces of all the ignorant dentists and doctors who have been pushing this poison for years. Once again, they were wrong; the “conspiracy theorists” were right. http://www.naturalnews.com/033753_water_fluoridation_hidden_camera.html http://www.naturalnews.com/031547_fluoride_industrial_waste.html http://www.naturalnews.com/031602_fluoride_tooth_enamel.html #3 – Flu vaccines often contain live flu viruses and actually cause the flu as a way to worsen the flu season and scare more people into buying vaccines It’s also true with MMR vaccines, which cause the measles. Flu vaccines are the greatest medical hoax that has ever been perpetrated on the world: http://www.naturalnews.com/033998_influenza_vaccines_effectiveness.html http://www.naturalnews.com/033816_swine_flu_vaccines_neurological_disorders.html http://www.naturalnews.com/029641_vaccines_junk_science.html http://www.naturalnews.com/031043_flu_vaccines_quackery.html #4 – Ron Paul is deliberately stripped out of mainstream news reports, online polls and debate coverage in order to “game the system” against him The power elite don’t really want “fair and open” elections in America, you see. It’s all about rigging the system to make sure a globalist puppet gets elected instead of a Man of the People. http://www.naturalnews.com/033528_Ron_Paul_smear_campaign.html http://www.prisonplanet.com/realclear-politics-skews-ron-pauls-poll-numbers.html http://www.prisonplanet.com/cnbc-cans-debate-poll-because-ron-paul-was-leading.html #5 – The United States government openly trafficks illegal guns into Mexico as a way to cause gun violence in the USA It all seemed so very clever until they got caught , and now it just seems flatly criminal . So why can the federal government run illegal guns and nothing happens to them, but if you or I do it, we go to prison for a long, long time? http://www.naturalnews.com/032934_ATF_illegal_firearms.html http://www.naturalnews.com/033802_Fast_and_Furious_scandal.html http://counterthink.com/Fast_and_Furious.asp #6 – Prestigious U.S. hospitals are widely engaged in black market organ trafficking and organ transplants And why not? It’s profitable, and they can claim they’re “saving lives!” Make no mistake: the organ transplant industry is steeped in dark, psychopathic criminal activity . http://www.naturalnews.com/028994_organ_transplants_black_market.html http://www.naturalnews.com/034060_organ_trafficking_transplants.html #7 – The child sex slave industry is huge, highly profitable, and found everywhere across America (and the world) You wouldn’t have believed this, probably, until the whole Penn State scandal recently made headline news around the world. As everybody now knows, Penn State sports officials routinely raped young children , even pimping them out to other criminal rapists who paid big money to rape young boys. This went on for 15 years right inside a prestigious university, right here in America. Are you shocked? You shouldn’t be. Alex Jones has been sounding the alarm about this for a decade . Nobody listened to him. They couldn’t believe it was real. People would rather bury their heads in the sand than face reality. And yet, this Penn State scandal just scratches the surface. The far deeper horrifying truth of all this is that Child Protective Services routinely kidnaps young American children and sells them into sex slavery — so-called “white slavery.” That story has not yet been covered by the mainstream media. http://www.naturalnews.com/032501_Maryanne_Godboldo_Child_Protective_Services.html http://abcnews.go.com/US/penn-state-sex-scandal-spreads-texas-alleged-alamo/story?id=14932340 http://www.prisonplanet.com/archive_elite_sex_ring.html http://www.cnn.com/2011/11/10/justice/pennsylvania-coach-abuse/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2011/11/who_knew_what_about_jerry_sand.html #8 – Commercial chickens are routinely fed arsenic, and commercial cows are routinely fed chicken poop Oh, you didn’t know that? When you eat conventional beef, you’re eating meat from cows who created that meat by consuming chicken poop. Yumm! Can I have some more poop on that burger, please? http://www.naturalnews.com/032659_arsenic_chicken.html http://www.naturalnews.com/000987.html http://www.naturalnews.com/028675_beef_chicken_poop.html #9 – “Natural” foods and cereals are routinely made with genetically modified ingredients Oh, you thought “natural” meant better than organic? Non-GMO? Stop getting suckered by the cereal companies and dishonest food conglomerates. Know what you’re really eating: http://www.naturalnews.com/033838_breakfast_cereals_GMOs.html http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=15C9C662CC545B8E96934878801B85DF #10 – The global banking industry is a criminal racket that steals wealth from working class People and redistributes it to the global wealthy elite You wouldn’t have believed this five years ago, but now, looking at your own bank account, the job you lost, the house you can’t sell and the health care you can’t afford, it’s all sinking in: The global financial system is an engineered con that suckers working-class people into giving up all their wealth, piece by piece, until they die bankrupt. Indentured servitude… http://www.naturalnews.com/News_000564_Federal_Reserve_financial_bailout_money_supply.html http://www.naturalnews.com/025672_money_WHO_government.html http://www.prisonplanet.com/goldman-sachs-rules-the-world-with-trader-alessio-rastani.html #11 – The U.S. government routinely conspires with pharmaceutical giants to conduct criminal, inhumane medical experiments on innocent people Recent revelations about the U.S. government’s secret medical experiments in Guatemala are just the tip of the iceberg here. Dr. Jona Salk, inventor of the polio vaccine, also ran unethical medical experiments on people. In fact, the entire history of modern medicine (pharmaceuticals, vaccines, chemotherapy and more) is something of a “house of horrors” of inhumane medical experiments on innocent victims. http://www.naturalnews.com/033483_Guatemalan_prisoners_medical_experiments.html http://www.naturalnews.com/031564_Jonas_Salk_medical_experiments.html http://www.naturalnews.com/033988_anthrax_vaccine_medical_experiments.html http://www.naturalnews.com/019189.html http://www.naturalnews.com/019187.html What else is true? Ever wonder what else might be true about our world that you never would have believed just a few years ago? Maybe it’s time you started reading books by Jim Marrs or even David Icke . Now is a good time to start listening to the Robert Scott Bell Show on www.NaturalNewsRadio.com where you’ll also hear news from Patrick Timpone . Perhaps it’s time we all started questioning history , medicine, corporate science, banking institutions and all governments. Discard your blinders. Maybe it’s time we opened our eyes to reality and stopped lying to ourselves about the depth of corruption and evil in our world. And why would we do that? Because that’s the first step to positive revolution where we work together to create a better world … a world where such criminality and suffering is ancient history. Accept reality, in other words… and then CHANGE it for the better.

Smiling helps prevent aging, wrinkles

(NaturalNews) The old adage that it takes more muscle power to frown than to smile may finally be put to rest, at least in terms of how using those muscles affects the aging process. According to Heike Hoefler, a German fitness trainer, actively working facial muscles by smiling helps to reduce wrinkles, lines, and other appearances of aging. “Active facial gymnastics is super effective,” Hoefler is quoted as saying in China Daily . “It can reduce expression lines.” And that is exactly what she helps her class participants achieve. By teaching them how to smile more through the use of various smiling exercises, Hoefler is helping her students to avoid things like “anger lines” between the eyebrows, wrinkles around the mouth, and horizontal forehead lines. Facial skin is composed of a tapestry of elastic and collagen fibers that bind with water to give it a firm, toned appearance. But as a person ages, these fibers become increasingly less able to bind with water, resulting in sagging skin, wrinkles, and other undesirable appearances. While there are numerous skin creams available that help to slow this process, Hoefler says it is helpful to practice smiling exercises as well. In the same way that working arms and legs in the weight room tightens and builds muscles, smiling helps to improve firmness in the cheeks, chin, and skin around the eyes. One exercise Hoefler recommends is holding a strong smile for six seconds, followed by a ten-second break. When performing this exercise, she says it is best to press your thumb and a finger from each hand on the corners of both your eyes and mouth to hold the skin in place. Doing this will prevent wrinkles from forming in those spots as a result of the exercise. Another useful exercise is pushing air in your mouth from one cheek to the other using your mouth muscles, holding it on each side for a few seconds before switching. And sticking out your tongue, she says, will work your chin muscles and help prevent saggy skin from forming.

Nearly a million Britons may have had their organ donation wishes improperly recorded

(NaturalNews) According to a recent report, as many as 800,000 Britons may have had their organ donation wishes improperly recorded in the U.K. donor register. Some who expressed that they didn’t want to be donors may have been registered as donors, while others may have been registered as being donors of the wrong organs. When applying for a driver’s license, there is typically a space on the application form to specify whether or not one wishes to be an organ donor. Sometimes, there is a space to specify which organs a person wishes to donate, and which ones he does not. In the U.K., there is a checklist of organs for a person to mark, indicating which organs can be donated and which cannot. But Stephen Banks from Redditch, Worcestershire, recently found out that his donor requests had been improperly recorded in the register. When filling out his form, Banks specified that he was willing to donate every one of his organs except for his eyes. He marked the appropriate boxes for the other and left the “eyes” box blank. But upon receiving confirmation of his submission, he was shocked to discover that, according to the register, he was willing to donate all of his organs, including his eyes. “I have to say I am a little angry. How could such a major error occur?” he asked in response to the blunder. Though somewhat ashamed to admit it, Banks came to the conclusion that the phrase, “the eyes are the key to the soul,” rang true with him, and that he didn’t want his eyes to be given to another person. However, after receiving confirmation from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) thanking Banks for his willingness to donate all his organs, he is not sure what to do. “I haven’t tried contacting them. I feel a bit embarrassed to call up and say: ‘I don’t want to donate my eyes’. I feel a bit awkward about it,” he explained. Yet he is concerned about the error, and the fact that there was no space on the letter to make any sort of correction to it. While it may seem like a simple mistake, the fact that hundreds of thousands of other people in the U.K. may have been improperly recorded as well is unacceptable. An independent review is currently underway to figure out what is going on. Sources for this story include: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8614058.stm

Green tea nutrients may prevent glaucoma

(NaturalNews) Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the U.S., according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It comes like a silent thief, gradually stealing sight and usually providing no warning symptoms in the early stages. But as the disease progresses, damage to the optic nerve grows worse and side vision can gradually fail until there’s only tunnel vision left, and then no vision at all. Treatment with drugs and surgery may slow down the eyesight deterioration but there’s no cure. However, new research provides evidence there’s a natural way to prevent glaucoma from developing in the first place — drink green tea regularly. A study just published in the American Chemical Society’s Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry concludes that phytochemicals found in green tea actually penetrate deeply into tissues of the eyes. This is the first report to document how the lens, retina and other parts of the eye absorb the powerful antioxidants and disease-fighting substances found in green tea and it strongly raises the possibility that green tea can prevent glaucoma as well as other eye diseases and conditions. Scientist Chi Pui Pang, Ph.D., of the department of ophthalmology and visual sciences at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and his colleagues pointed out in a statement to the press that green tea contains flavonoids known as catechins that are thought to protect the eyes. But until now, there was doubt that catechins could pass through the stomach and gastrointestinal tract and end up in eye tissues. However, in experiments with laboratory rats, the scientists showed conclusively that after green tea is consumed, structures in the eye absorb sight-protecting green tea catechins. When the scientists analyzed the eye tissues of the animals used in their study, they discovered that various eye structures had absorbed significant amounts of individual catechins. For instance, the retina took in the highest levels of a catechin known as gallocatechin and the aqueous humor (a thick watery substance that fills the space between the lens and the cornea) soaked up another green tea phytochemical dubbed epigallocatechin . Bottom line: green tea catechins reduced harmful oxidative stress in the eyes that is linked to glaucoma and other eye diseases. What’s more, the protective effect lasted up to 20 hours. As regular readers of NaturalNews are aware, this good news about green tea is one more example of a host of scientific evidence that has accumulated over the last few years showing that drinking green tea is a powerful natural way to protect health. For example, researchers have found that green tea has the potential to prevent and treat osteoporosis and other bone diseases that affect millions throughout the world (http://www.naturalnews.com/027194_green_tea_osteoporosis_disease.html). Phytochemicals in green tea also show promise in preventing and treating serious brain disorders like Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, and Parkinson’s diseases (http://www.naturalnews.com/027757_green_tea_brain_function.html). Editor’s note: NaturalNews is opposed to the use of animals in medical experiments that expose them to harm. We present these findings in protest of the way in which they were acquired.
