Myths

Poor vision is caused by weak eye muscles.

Dr. Richard Kavner (Total Vision) says, we know

that each eye muscle has at least 50 to 100 times

the strength it needs.

Tensionin these muscles causes rigid eye

movements.

The eyes can be retrained.

Diet & Cataracts

Blue Mountain Eye Study in Sydney, Australia

Higher intake of protein, Vitamin A, niacin,

thiamin & riboflavin were associated with

reduced prevalence of nuclear cataract.

Glaucoma a proven natural cure

A combined nutritional therapy may be very

useful.

In 1977 study of 100 glaucoma patients inWest Africa utlized a regiment of Vitamin C, A

& E.

Pressures were reduced to normal within aweek.

Opthalmologist Dr. Edward Kondrot, a designer &

research of MCS said

with free-radical processes of aging, UV energy,

& additional assaults from improper nutrition, oureyes need protection. What is more, with aging,

the ability of cells of the macula to manufacture

ATP wanes. Cells conserve energy by maintainingonly the most critical functions, like maintaining

membrane integrity.


46/55


MCS increases ATP concentrations of cells &

thus increases the ability of cells to rid

themselves of waste products.

These observations led to very recent

research into the effects of MCS on macular

degeneration

When glucose level is high with angiotensin2

hormone, this mixed with IL6 produce

inflammation.
