  1. ANYONE KNOW IF THE FOLLOWING IF FOR REAL OR SNAKE OIL?

    IVE LEFT LINK FOR PURCHASE OUT SO THIS WONT BE CONFUSED AS ADVERTIZING. IM
    LOOSING MY EYESIGHT, SO IM WARY OF FALLING INTO NET SCAMS...

    =============================================================

    -- William Campbell Douglass, M.D.

    Dear Daily Dose Reader,

    As you know from reading my newsletter, I devote a lot of ink to pulling the
    rug out from under conventional medicine's profit-driven, "band-aid"
    approach to all kinds of ailments and their respective "remedies"...

    And nowhere is this more apparent than when it comes to your eye health.

    The plain truth is that when it comes to your vision, the medical mainstream
    focuses on compensating for problems instead of truly healing your
    eyes...and instead of preventing or reversing most forms of visual
    deterioration. And why shouldn't they? That's where all the money is.

    Think about it. When a patient with Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD),
    glaucoma, retinitis pigmentosa, or any number of other eye ailments walks
    through the door, it's much more profitable for doctors to simply throw up
    their arms in defeat. They reach for the prescription pad, surgery schedule,
    or catalog of designer glasses frames instead of researching and
    recommending the little-known, inexpensive natural options the mainstream
    typically shuns...

    But I'm writing today to tell you that just because you're not seeing these
    safe, effective, and affordable solutions for preventing many kinds of
    visual degeneration (or even reversing it once it has begun); and just
    because they're not pervasive themes in the mainstream channels, that
    doesn't mean they don't exist. In fact, such side-effect-free eye therapies
    do exist-safe, natural, and time-proven miracles that can help you:
    a.. Halt or even reverse ARMD, the leading cause of blindness in those
    over 60
    b.. Reduce eye pressure-a major factor in glaucoma and other ocular
    disease
    c.. Lessen eye fatigue for longer reading sessions (and fewer headaches)
    d.. Stop the progression of vision-blurring cataracts
    e.. Strengthen night vision for safer driving
    f.. Protect your eyes from the harmful effects of both ultra violet rays
    and environmental toxins
    I'm going to introduce you to some of these safe, natural secrets to better
    vision in just a minute. But right now, I want to explain to you why...

    When it comes to your vision,
    what they don't know can hurt you

    In my opinion, what conventional eye doctors should do before prescribing
    drugs, glasses or surgery is ask them a few basic questions about their diet
    and daily nutrition. Of course, this presumes that today's eye doctors
    actually know something about how deficiencies in certain nutrients can
    cause deterioration of your vision or contribute to optical disease...

    Quite frankly, most of them don't. But let's focus on the positive, shall
    we? The good news is that I've been aware of this vision/nutrition link for
    decades-why do you think I've been able to maintain such excellent,
    glasses-free eyesight even though I've been kicking around since before the
    Great Depression? And now I want to tell you all about it...

    The hidden cause of many vision maladies
    that most eye doctors turn a blind eye to...

    You see, regardless of whether most mainstream eye doctors know it or
    not, like so many other aspects of your health, diet and nutrition can have
    a profound effect on your vision. That's right: What you eat now-and what
    you've been eating your whole life-could be the reason for your vision
    struggles (or why you may still have relatively good eyesight).

    However, today's sugar-rich, ultra-refined foods are nearly devoid of
    the nutrients the human eye needs for optimum visual acuity and resistance
    to disease. That's right-unless you've got a time machine and are doing your
    grocery shopping at the markets of a century or more ago, you're likely not
    getting the vitamins, minerals and other compounds your eyes need to see
    clearly and ward off disease. Even if you've been doing your best to "eat
    healthy"...

    This is why I'm writing to you today: To recommend a simple,
    inexpensive way to give your eyes everything they need in the way of
    vision-boosting nutrition, every single day. It's called Ultimate Vision
    Support-a brand-new, once-a-day dietary supplement from Real Advantage
    Nutritionals. It's specifically formulated to give those who are suffering a
    steady infusion of the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals they need to resist
    (or reverse) the effects of ophthalmic problems...

    Or to make sure you keep your good eyesight for as long as possible!

    You may recognize some of the specially chosen ingredients in new
    Ultimate Vision Support-but others are cutting-edge substances you
    definitely won't find in run-of-the-mill "grocery store" vision supplements.
    More than the typical bilberry- or lutein-based formula, Ultimate Vision
    Support contains 27 proven vision-boosting substances from around the
    world-in the optimum and completely safe dosages for a real difference you
    can clearly see. This complete spectrum of time-tested nutrients are what
    set this revolutionary formula apart from the others, and what makes it
    worthy of both the Real Advantage name and my endorsement.

    But in real-world terms, new Ultimate Vision Support is designed to
    help minimize (or even reverse) the effects of the deteriorating vision so
    common in 50-, 60-, and 70-something adults-everyday things like helping you
    to...

    Standard quackery line, 'us vs them', this should set the alarm bells
    ringing.

    More suspicious.
    There are some corrections, and some cures, depending on the ailment.
    Nothing much can be done about the age related hardening of the lense except
    glasses.
    For other problems?
    This is a huge field, with problems ranging from physical damage, genetic
    problems and disease caused by bacteria and viruses.
    Some of these have good cures, some have only treatments, and some you just
    have to live with.

    Treatments are often shunned because they don't work. Use of conspiracy
    theory is also a sign of quackery.
    I don't even know what it is yet, but already I would bet you 10:1 odds in
    your favour that this is quackery.

    Damn, I though he would have mentioned what he had by now.
    Cure alls are another sign of quackery. All these problems mentioned above
    are have very different causes, so will have different treatments. Also,
    the Army would pay alot for anything to improve night vision among the
    troops, but I remember still being trained in the 'look 30 degrees off
    target' method.

  3. Sounds like this originated from HSI (correct me if I'm wrong)
    Just a suggestion :-
    Why not email HSI and ask for some hard data to back up their claims before
    you buy?

    This one fails the "duck test" UTTERLY! The denigration of
    conventional medicine is a strong clue -- THEN, when one asks for
    further information they offer nothing and a screen pops up asking for
    your telephone number so that they can call you at home and peddle
    their snake-oil.
