From a question to Dr. Christopher: "I have been using the herbal eyebright for several months now. I have followed the instructions exactly. Is there anything else I can do to help speed this along?"

Answer: In order for any herbal combination to be effective, the body must be in good working condition. This would include using the lower bowel combination [Fen LB] and strictly following the mucusless diet. In addition it is also important to improve the circulation to the head area. This can be accomplished by laying your head down on a slant board each day. Gradually work up to 20 minutes twice a day. There is also a tendency for the eyesight to seem to worsen for a while. This is due to the toxins being released from the system and coming to the surface of the eye to be washed away. This also indicates that the lower bowel formula [Fen LB] should be used as a means for keeping the eliminative channels open. [NL 3-10]

The Eyebright Formula contains eyebright herb, goldenseal root, red Raspberry leaf, mullein flower, bayberry bark, fennel seed, rue flower and cayenne pepper. These herbs work together to nourish the eyes and help cleanse the blood while supporting healthy vision.

How a Liver Cleanse Can Help With Vision Problems

According to Dr. Christopher, when you clean the waste materials out of the eye, the eye muscles they will become stronger and better able to focus. When the lens in the eye is cleansed out, the light rays can travel through the entire lens and can better focus on the retina without being distorted.

Blood flows through the liver for cleansing and then to the eyes to help moisten and nourish them. When the blood from the liver is congested and deficient in nutrients it has a harder time feeding the eyes what they need for optimal health.

If you're interested in doing a natural liver cleanse there are multiple ways you can go about it from eating more liver cleansing foods to doing an herbal liver cleanse program.

Eye Exercises to Improve Vision

There is another natural means one can employ to improve vision - eye exercises. These do work in many cases. However, without a greatly improved diet program, internal cleansing of the organ systems and use of the Eyebright formulas; exercises are usually very difficult to keep up with long enough to see the benefits. The eye exercises can take an hour or a day or more and often need to be done for a number of months before any benefits are seen.
