00:00:00
soon as a person's eyes deteriorate when
00:00:02
they start wearing glasses the the eyes
00:00:04
now get lazy and get weaker and weaker
00:00:08
and rebounding strengthens the eyes the
00:00:11
reason rebounding strengthens the eyes
00:00:14
is when you rebound you increase blood
00:00:16
supply more efficiently and effectively
00:00:19
through the whole body and there is a
00:00:22
way that you can get rid of cataracts
00:00:25
and that is one drop of castor oil wiped
00:00:28
over the eyelid it'll go through the
00:00:30
lashes the castal will penetrate in
00:00:33
through the eyelid and also into the eye
00:00:37
through the
00:00:38
lashes castol penetrates deeper than any
00:00:41
other oil and wherever it penetrates it
00:00:44
breaks up unnatural formations which are
00:00:47
cataract are you struggling to read
00:00:49
small print do your eyes feel strained
00:00:51
after a long day at work what if I told

00:00:58
Barbara O'Neal a respected naturopath
00:01:00
with over 40 years of experience has
00:01:02
uncovered surprising connections between
00:01:04
diet and Eye Health these are secrets
00:01:07
that pharmaceutical companies would
00:01:09
rather keep hidden in the next few
00:01:11
minutes we'll explore how simple changes
00:01:13
to your diet could dramatically improve
00:01:15
your eyesight we'll dive into Cutting
00:01:17
Edge research and uncover natural
00:01:19
remedies that could save your vision so
00:01:22
put down those reading glasses and pay
00:01:24
close attention your eyes will thank you
00:01:27
the big problem with our eyes before we
00:01:29
jump into Solutions Dr Barbara
00:01:31
recommends let's talk about how big this
00:01:34
problem really is the World Health
00:01:35
Organization says that at least 2.2
00:01:38
billion people worldwide have trouble
00:01:40
seeeing in the United States the Centers
00:01:43
for Disease Control and prevention tells
00:01:45
us that about 12 million people over 40
00:01:47
have vision problems what's really
00:01:50
worrying is that younger people are
00:01:51
having more eye problems too now eye
00:01:54
doctors are very being very concerned
00:01:56
today about children's eyesight because
00:01:59
children are having overexposure to
00:02:02
short range that's in all the computers
00:02:04
game boys television things like that
00:02:07
they're having over exposure to short
00:02:09
range and underexposure to long range in
00:02:13
fact a study in 2019 found that more and
00:02:16
more kids are becoming nearsighted
00:02:18
compared to 50 years ago our modern way
00:02:20
of life is a big part of the problem
00:02:23
we're always looking at screens we eat a
00:02:25
lot of processed foods and we don't
00:02:27
spend enough time outside all of this
00:02:29
combined leads to quicker deterioration
00:02:31
of the eyes but it's not just
00:02:33
nearsightedness we need to worry about
00:02:35
dry eye syndrome eye strain and even
00:02:38
more serious conditions like macular
00:02:40
degeneration are on the rise the
00:02:42
American Academy of Opthalmology reports
00:02:44
that nearly 3 million Americans aged 40
00:02:46
and older have some form of glaucoma a
00:02:49
leading cause of blindness remember that
00:02:52
glasses do weaken your eyes so as much
00:02:54
as possible don't wear your glasses
00:02:57
obviously there might be times that
00:02:58
everyone's taking their glasses on
00:03:01
obviously there might be times when you
00:03:02
will need them but as much as possible
00:03:05
cuz I've spoken to some people and
00:03:07
they've said well I need them for
00:03:08
reading I said but you don't need them
00:03:10
for anything else I don't wear them for
00:03:11
anything else because what you will find
00:03:13
is that your eyes will adjust according
00:03:15
to Dr Barbara O'Neal one common behavior
00:03:18
that increases eye problems is excess
00:03:21
usage of eyeg glasses when screen time
00:03:23
and other factors cause strain to the
00:03:25
eyes and many turn to glasses for Relief
00:03:28
however constant wear May weaken eye
00:03:30
muscles Barbara O'Neal suggests limiting
00:03:33
glasses used to specific tasks like
00:03:35
reading or using phones this approach
00:03:38
keeps eye muscles active and potentially
00:03:40
improves Vision over time in fact a
00:03:42
study in the Journal of Opthalmology
00:03:44
supports this idea researchers found
00:03:47
that Progressive addition lenses
00:03:49
commonly prescribed for near vision
00:03:51
problems can lead to increased myopia
00:03:54
progression in children compared to
00:03:55
single Vision lenses this suggests that
00:03:58
overreliance on Vision AIDS may not
00:04:01
always be as beneficial as we were told
00:04:04
Dr O'Neal believes that many of the
00:04:05
common eye problems can be prevented or
00:04:08
improved through natural means now let's
00:04:11
explore some of her eye healing secrets
00:04:13
that big Pharma doesn't want you to know
00:04:15
the surprising benefits of caster oil
00:04:17
for Eye Health let's start with a secret
00:04:20
weapon for Eye Health that might
00:04:22
surprise you caster oil this natural oil
00:04:25
derived from the seeds of the Caster
00:04:27
plant has been used for centuries in
00:04:29
traditional Medicine Dr O'Neal believes
00:04:31
it could be a GameChanger for many
00:04:33
common eye problems and there is a way
00:04:36
that you can get rid of cataracts and
00:04:38
that is one drop of castor oil wiped
00:04:41
over the eyelid it'll go through the
00:04:44
lashes the castor oil will penetrate in
00:04:47
through the eyelid and also into the eye
00:04:50
through the
00:04:51
lashes castol penetrates deeper than any
00:04:55
other oil and wherever it penetrates it
00:04:57
breaks up unnatural formations which a
00:05:01
cataract is castor oil is rich in rolic
00:05:05
acid a fatty acid with powerful
00:05:08
anti-inflammatory properties here's how
00:05:10
Dr O'Neal recommends using castor oil
00:05:13
for Eye Health for dry eyes apply a
00:05:16
single drop of organic hexane freec
00:05:18
caster oil to each eye before bed the
00:05:21
oil helps to lubricate the eyes and
00:05:23
prevent tear evaporation a study in the
00:05:25
journal corna found that castor oil ey
00:05:27
drops were effective in reducing
00:05:29
symptoms of dry eye syndrome for
00:05:32
cataracts gently massage a drop of
00:05:34
castor oil onto your eyelids twice daily
00:05:37
while more research is needed some
00:05:39
studies suggest that the antioxidants in
00:05:42
Castor oil may help slow the progression
00:05:44
of cataracts a preliminary study in the
00:05:47
Indian Journal of Opthalmology found
00:05:49
that caster oil eye drops showed promise
00:05:51
in reducing cataract formation in rats
00:05:55
I've had several people get back to me
00:05:57
and testify that their cataracts are
00:05:59
going by doing the
00:06:03
Castoro usually you would do it twice a
00:06:06
day gloma can also be benefited by the
00:06:10
castol on the eye for
00:06:13
glaucoma Dr O'Neal suggests that the
00:06:16
anti-inflammatory properties of castor
00:06:18
oil may help reduce intraocular pressure
00:06:21
a key factor in glaucoma later in the
00:06:24
video Dr O'Neal also talks about her
00:06:26
secret herbal eyewash recipe and how you
00:06:29
can make it yourself now you've probably
00:06:31
heard that carrots are good for your
00:06:33
eyes but did you know that a wide
00:06:35
variety of foods can support Eye Health
00:06:38
Dr O'Neal emphasizes the importance of a
00:06:40
nutrient-rich diet for maintaining and
00:06:42
improving Vision so there your three
00:06:45
essential food groups your fiber there's
00:06:47
your vegetables all your plant your your
00:06:50
uh your fruits
00:06:53
proteins and your healthy fats they will
00:06:57
give your eyes all the nutrients that
00:06:59
they need but what are some specific
00:07:02
examples of these food groups that you
00:07:04
can consume according to Dr
00:07:06
O'Neal leafy greens a study published by
00:07:10
the Harvard Medical School found that
00:07:12
people who ate the most leafy greens had
00:07:14
a 20 to 30% lower risk of developing
00:07:17
glaucoma spinach kale and collared
00:07:19
greens are rich in luten and zanthin
00:07:22
Powerful antioxidants that protect the
00:07:24
eyes from harmful light waves fatty fish
00:07:28
salmon sardine jeans and mackerel are
00:07:31
excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids
00:07:34
research published in The Archives of
00:07:36
Opthalmology showed that people who
00:07:38
consumed high levels of Omega-3s had a
00:07:41
30% lower risk of developing macular
00:07:43
degeneration over a 12year period
00:07:46
berries blueberries blackberries and
00:07:49
Goji berries are packed with
00:07:50
antioxidants that can help prevent
00:07:52
cataracts and macular degeneration
00:07:55
people who ate the most fruit had a 36%
00:07:58
lower risk of developing ing age related
00:08:00
macular degeneration packed with
00:08:03
antioxidants these small fruits protect
00:08:05
your eyes from harmful free radicals
00:08:07
regular consumption can help maintain
00:08:09
good vision and potentially reduce the
00:08:11
risk of age related eye conditions nuts
00:08:14
and seeds almonds walnuts and chia seeds
00:08:17
are excellent for Eye Health rich in
00:08:20
vitamin E zinc and omega-3 fatty acids
00:08:23
they provide essential nutrients for
00:08:25
maintaining strong Vision these crunchy
00:08:27
snacks can help protect against
00:08:29
cataracts and support overall eye
00:08:31
function Dr O'Neal recommends
00:08:33
incorporating these Foods into your diet
00:08:35
regularly for a powerful Eye Health
00:08:38
boost she suggests making a colorful
00:08:40
salad with leafy greens berries and nuts
00:08:43
Dr Barbara also talks about the eyes
00:08:45
healing power of sunlight how can you
00:08:48
strengthen your eyes strengthen your
00:08:49
eyes by giving them rest strengthen your
00:08:52
eyes by allowing them to experience the
00:08:55
sun remember your eyes are an extension
00:08:58
of your brain and your brain needs sun
00:09:01
and it gets the sun through the eyes and
00:09:03
different sun rays give different
00:09:06
messages to the eyes that's why if you
00:09:08
wear glasses make sure there's times in
00:09:10
the day where you don't have your
00:09:11
glasses so the ultraviolet rays can give
00:09:14
their messages through here's how Dr
00:09:16
O'Neal recommends harnessing the power
00:09:18
of sunlight for Eye Health safe
00:09:20
sungazing early morning or late
00:09:22
afternoon when the sun is low on the
00:09:24
horizon close your eyes and face the Sun
00:09:26
for a few minutes the light penetrating
00:09:28
your eyelids can stimulate the peal
00:09:30
gland and boost the production of
00:09:32
melatonin which is beneficial for Eye
00:09:35
Health vitamin D production sunlight
00:09:38
helps our bodies produce vitamin D which
00:09:40
is crucial for Eye Health a study
00:09:43
published in jamama Opthalmology found
00:09:45
that higher blood levels of vitamin D
00:09:47
were associated with a lower risk of age
00:09:49
related macular degeneration you see
00:09:52
when the sultra vet Rays from the Sun
00:09:54
hit the skin they convert a form of
00:09:57
cholesterol just under the skin to
00:09:59
vitamin
00:10:01
D now did you notice what this this is
00:10:05
converted to vitamin D
00:10:07
cholesterol you can have someone with
00:10:10
vitamin D deficiency because they're on
00:10:13
cholesterol lowering
00:10:15
medication so when the sun's Rays hit
00:10:18
the skin they convert a form of
00:10:20
cholesterol just under the skin to
00:10:22
Vitamin D it takes 2 hours for the
00:10:25
conversion to happen so if someone goes
00:10:28
into a shower and washes thems with soap
00:10:31
straight after their exposure to Sun
00:10:33
they will get no vitamin D you have to
00:10:35
wait 2 hours you can lay in the sun dive
00:10:38
in the creek and you won't lose it
00:10:40
because you're not scrubbing your oil
00:10:43
off out door time aim for at least 2 to
00:10:46
three hours of outdoor time daily this
00:10:49
not only exposes your eyes to natural
00:10:51
light but also allows them to focus on
00:10:53
distant objects which can help prevent
00:10:55
eye strain and myopia progression Dr
00:10:58
O'Neal EMP emphasizes that these
00:11:00
practices should be done safely avoiding
00:11:02
direct sun exposure during peak hours
00:11:05
and never looking directly at the sun
00:11:08
she suggests starting with short periods
00:11:10
and gradually increasing exposure time
00:11:12
in addition to sunlight during the day
00:11:14
Dr onil also stresses about the
00:11:16
importance of quality sleep for Eye
00:11:19
Health we all know sleep is important
00:11:21
for overall health but did you know it's
00:11:23
crucial for Eye Health too and if you

00:11:31
this one we have a book in the bookcase
00:11:34
called better eyesight without glasses
00:11:36
by Dr William Bates Dr William Bates
00:11:39
nearly lost his credentials over writing
00:11:41
this book and he shows how you can
00:11:44
strengthen your eyes he says in that
00:11:47
book that
00:11:49
strain strengthens your eyesight the
00:11:51
only time strain doesn't strengthen your
00:11:54
eyesight is if you're tired and how many
00:11:57
people are straining their eyes like
00:11:59
late at night when they should be
00:12:02
asleep you know how often parents say
00:12:04
you you'll hurt your eyes reading in
00:12:06
that light early in the morning no it
00:12:08
strengthens the
00:12:10
eyes it's only when the eyes are pushed
00:12:13
to their limit when the body needs to
00:12:15
rest you know why because your eyes are
00:12:17
an extension of your brain and when your
00:12:19
brain's tied your eyes are tied it's
00:12:22
like whipping a tied horse further
00:12:25
further and the poor old horse gets to
00:12:27
the stage when you go to get for work
00:12:29
and it won't even get up and that's
00:12:31
what's happen during sleep our eyes
00:12:34
undergo important processes of repair
00:12:36
and regeneration a study published in
00:12:38
the journal sleep found that people who
00:12:40
slept 7 to n hours per night had
00:12:43
healthier eyes and were less likely to
00:12:45
develop glaucoma compared to those who
00:12:47
slept less Dr O'Neal recommends aiming
00:12:50
for 7 to n hours of sleep per night in a
00:12:53
dark quiet sleep environment you should
00:12:56
also avoid screens for at least an hour
00:12:58
before bedtime as blue light can disrupt
00:13:00
sleep patterns and potentially harm Eye
00:13:03
Health what can also increase the output
00:13:06
of these hormones at night is sunshine
00:13:08
through the day not only sunshine
00:13:11
through the day but sleeping in the dark
00:13:14
because remember my initial statement
00:13:17
was that light and dark signals are fed
00:13:19
through the optic nerve so when we give
00:13:21
it a very clear clear messages of Sunny
00:13:25
Day Dark Night the pineal gland gets
00:13:28
nice clear messages so sleeping in the
00:13:31
dark's very important if someone leaves
00:13:34
needs a bit of light in the night I
00:13:36
suggest getting one of those little
00:13:38
night lights that you can plug into the
00:13:40
PowerPoint that will not interfere with
00:13:43
the pineal gland it's like moonlight so
00:13:45
you want about the light of the
00:13:47
Moonlight but that's not all Dr O'Neal
00:13:50
also talks about the benefits of eye
00:13:52
exercises but the particular exercise
00:13:55
that strengthens the eyes is when you
00:13:58
rebound
00:14:00
you focus on
00:14:02
something where I'm staying at the
00:14:04
moment where the rebounder is there's
00:14:06
windows that have frames like this so
00:14:10
what I do is I focus on the frame and
00:14:14
the plant outside jumps in my peripheral
00:14:18
vision and then after 10 seconds I
00:14:21
change my focus and my focus on the
00:14:23
plant outside and then the window frame
00:14:27
jumps like this so so if every 10
00:14:30
seconds on the rebound rebounding you
00:14:33
you keep changing your focus can you see
00:14:36
how that is strengthening the muscles in
00:14:38
your eyes you exercise your body to stay
00:14:41
fit but what about your eyes Dr O'Neal
00:14:44
believes that regular eye exercises can
00:14:46
significantly improve vision and Eye
00:14:49
Health one exercise Dr O'Neal recommends
00:14:52
is called rebounding rebounding or
00:14:54
bouncing on a mini trampoline can
00:14:56
surprisingly benefit your eyes this loow
00:14:59
impact exercise boosts blood flow
00:15:01
throughout your body including to your
00:15:03
eyes it may help nourish eye tissues
00:15:06
reduce inflammation and improve overall
00:15:08
Eye Health she suggests gently bouncing
00:15:11
for a few minutes daily focusing on
00:15:13
distant objects while you jump she also
00:15:15
talks about the secret herbal eyew wash
00:15:18
Dr O'Neal has a special recipe for an
00:15:20
herbal eye wash that she believes can
00:15:22
soothe and heal tired irritated eyes the
00:15:26
main ingredients are golden seal and eye
00:15:28
bright two herbs with a long history of
00:15:31

health so there is an eye wash that is
00:15:36
very beneficial for Sore Eyes for
00:15:39
bloodshot eyes for dry eyes and this can
00:15:43
also be used for
00:15:44
glaucoma it's um a half a
00:15:50
teaspoon of golden
00:15:57
seal and a half teaspoon of
00:16:00
ibrite golden seal contains berberine a
00:16:03
compound with powerful antimicrobial
00:16:06
properties ibrite as its name suggests
00:16:09

00:16:10
treat eye conditions here's Dr O'Neal's
00:16:13
recipe for the herbal eye wash one mix
00:16:16
half teaspoon each of powdered golden
00:16:18

boiling water three let it cool and
00:16:23
strain thoroughly four use it as an
00:16:26
eyewash several times a day Dr O'Neal
00:16:30
also stresses the role of hydration in
00:16:32
Eye Health we often Overlook the
00:16:34
importance of proper hydration for Eye
00:16:36
Health Dr O'Neal stresses that drinking
00:16:38
enough water is crucial for maintaining
00:16:40
healthy eyes Dr William
00:16:43
Bates he shows hey can strengthen your
00:16:46
