The duality of East and West, art and science, and mind and body must be enlisted for healing to take place. Philosopher Rene Descartes separated the function of the mind from that of the body. This Cartesian model eventually led to specialization in medicine, where parts are examined, diagnosed, dissected and even transplanted without consideration of the whole. The Eye Advisory will look at the whole, and share scientific and historical information while providing you with information for the health and care of your eyes. You will learn drinking water, eating the right foods, simple eye exercises, relaxation methods, and specific vitamins can be just as powerful, in many cases, as medicines, lasers and surgery.
Prevention is the key.
One of the secret weapons employed by the Royal Air Force to gain supremacy in the night skies above war-torn Britain came from a jam jar. Although the German Luftwaffe had more planes and pilots than the British, they didn't have jars of bilberry jam on the tables in every flight mess. The purple bioflavinoids in bilberry feed the rod cells in the eye. It is these cells that we depend upon for night vision. Likewise, we need the yellow, orange and red fruits and vegetables for day vision.
