Improve Your Eye Health with Natural Remedies
Eye diseases like cataract, glaucoma, detached retina or myopia all come from weakness and inflammation in the tissues that compose and surround the eye. Most doctors don't really know what to say to you on how to improve your eye health. They don't know how you can strengthen and protect your eyes from becoming disease or if you have an eye how to improve your condition.

In 1985, I develop detached retina in my right eye and my left eye had weakness.

The day I went to the eye specialist in Palo Alto to see why part of my vision was dark, I didn't go home for 3 day. The very moment the doctor examine my eyes, he said "You need to go to the hospital right now and have surgery tonight." Was I scared? Definitely!

Was the surgery a success? Yes it was. But not until I went through a 5 hour laser surgery procedure, had a needle pushed into my eye as I looked straight at it, and had an in house laser procedure of 50 pulses.

Months later I asked my eye doctor what I could do to improve my eye health and to keep them strong. There was silence and my question was never answered. He just didn't know.

Since that time, I become a nutritionist and have learn many things about keeping eyes healthy and I plan to write an e-report so that I can pass that information on to many of you that want to avoid losing your good eye sight as you become older.

Right now I want to give you only one thing you can do for your eye health. I want to give you a formula on how you can make your own eye drops made out of MSM. As you recall in the last newsletter, I mentioned MSM eye drops that you can use it in your ears to keep them flexible. Well, MSM eye drops are the best drops you can use in your eyes to:
" strengthen them
" prevent glaucoma
" prevent cataract
" keep them young
" dissolve mucus accumulation
" keep your eyes moist
" correct dryness
" relieve strain
" relieve red eye
" clear up pink eye
" clear up sties
" clears up eye infections
" tie up free damaging free radical
" tie up destructive proteins

The best part about MSM eye drops is that they are not addictive like many of the eye drops that you find at the drug store.

Look, can you ask any more of this eye drop solution? Yes you can. The second best part about MSM eye drops is that they are really cheap. You can buy it already make for around $5. Of course, you only get one ounce. The shipping cost more than the product.

Here's what I buy when I make it myself:
" a 2 or 4 ounce brown eye dropper bottle
" torpedo MSM tablets of 1000 mg per tablet
" saline solution that I use for my contact lens and that's it.
Here's how to make it:
" Boil the eye dropper bottle with stem and rubber top for 10 minute
" After boiling, rinse out the inside of the bottle, stem, and rubber cap with distilled water.
" fill the bottle with 80% saline solution.
" add two to four MSM torpedoes making it 2000 to 4000 mg.
" Let the MSM dissolve and it's ready for use.

Only one warning, just start with only two torpedoes. Then test it on your eye by dropping one drop into your eye. You will feel a little bit of a sting. Keep adding a torpedo until the sting is not too severe or to slight. I use 4 torpedoes since I am use to the sting. I also add a drop of 98% Aloe Vera gel, since aloe has an antibacterial property and it promotes cell regeneration. Of course, adding aloe makes it sting more but this will not damage your eye. Just go slow and add mall amount of aloe until you get the effect you can live with.

This is a real nice eye drop and excellent for your eye health. It is best to make it yourself, since it can be done when ever you need it. I use it all the time before I put my contacts lens, when I have my contacts on, and after I take them off. Have fun doing this and if you have children show them what you are doing.

Internazionale
Bersiap Tanpa Ibra

Zlatan Ibrahimovic tidak bisa tenang menjalani liburan. Apa lagi penyebabnya kalau bukankarena masa depannya bersama Internazionaleterus digoyang beberapa klub besar Eropa. Setelah Barcelona dan Real Madrid mundur teratur, kini Chelsea maju memberi penawaran.

Barcelona sempat mengajukan tawaran sensasional berupa uang 60 juta euro ditambah Samuel Eto’o untuk pria Swedia ini. Namun, perlahan tapi pasti, kabar itu mulai tenggelam. Hal serupa juga dialami Real Madrid.

Duit sebanyak 80 juta euro, plus Gonzalo Higuain atau Arjen Robben sempat terlontar. Tapi, belakangan Direktur Olah Raga El Real, Jorge Valdano, menyebut tidak tertarik dengan Ibra.

Kabar terakhir kini menyebut Chelsea sebagai peminat terbaru. Menurut The Dailly Express, pemilik Chelsea, Roman Abramovich, telah memberi dana besar kepada Carlo Ancelotti untuk berburu pemain besar demi menyaingi Madrid.

Kabar di Inggris menyebut kankubu Stamford Bridge telah menyiapkan tawaran sebesar 30 juta pound, sekitar 35 juta euro. Tapi, jika menyimak banderol minimal Ibra, yang mencapai 100 juta euro (Rp1,4 triliun), tampaknya tawaran itu bakal langsung mentah.

Sedikit berbeda jika nama Ricardo Carvalho, Deco Souza, dan John Obi Mikel termasuk dalam proposal itu. Kebetulan ketiganya sangat diminati Jose Mourinho.

“Saya pikir Ibrahimovic tidak akan pergi ke mana-mana saat ini. Tapi, jika memang transfer itu terjadi, saya pastikan hanya kepada klub yang mampu memberikan kami pemain selevel dengannya,” tutur Presiden Massimo Moratti

“Inter tidak akan menerima pertukaran sederhana. Untuk pemain sehebat Ibrahimovic, kami juga menginginkan sejumlah uang selain pertukaran pemain,” imbuh pengusaha minyak itu lagi.

Tanpa Ibra

Well, meski sejauh ini Ibra masih di Inter, Mourinho tentu harus memikirkan rencana cadangan jika Ibra memutuskan untuk hengkang. Bukan hanya pemain pengganti, tapi juga bagaimana formasi La Beneamata tanpa pemegang gelarcapocannonieri musim 2008/09 ini.

Jika melihat daftar pemain incaran Inter, cuma ada nama Karim Benzema, yang bisa dianggap mendekati kemampuan Ibra. Sisanya merupakan gelandang atau pun bek. Mourinho sendiri tidak ambil pusing dengan masalah ini.

“Ide saya adalah bermain dengan pemain juara, skuad yang tampil bagus, dan mampu menghibur penggemar. Filosofi permainan itu lebih penting ketimbang formasi,” ujarnya di Telebombardia. (Anggun Pratama)

Transfer Aly Cissokho
Gigi Jadi Alasan

Pekan lalu, Adriano Galliani dengan mantap menyebut Aly Cissokho sebagai salah satu full back terbaik dunia. Duit 15 juta euro yang telah disepakati dengan Porto sebagai kompensasi memboyongnya ke Milanello tampak setimpal dengan predikat tersebut.

Kontrak pribadi pun tidak ada masalah karena pemain Prancis keturunan Senegal ini sudah setuju berkostum Milan hingga empat musim ke depan. Tapi, begitu menginjak ke urusan teken kontrak, mendadak proses ini mampet.

Padahal, jika tidak ada masalah, I Rossoneri seharusnya sudah mengumumkan secara resmi ke - pindahan itu pada Selasa (16/6). Bahkan kini terbuka kemungkinan perpindahan tersebut batal.

Menurut sejumlah laporan media Italia, Cissokho gagal melewati tes kesehatan. Alasannya pun sepele. Dokter klub, Jean-Pierre Meersseman, menyebut pemain berusia 21 tahun itu memiliki masalah dengan giginya. Benarkah?

Well, tidak semua percaya alasan ini menjadi pengganjal utama. Dokter Renzo Mandozzi, yang telah berpengalaman lebih dari 27 tahun di bidang kedokteran olah raga, mengeluarkan pendapatnya.

“Ada dua kemungkinan. Pertama adanya granulomas (sel darah putih yang menggumpal) yang memengaruhi kinerja otot, termasuk jantung. Kedua, masalah orthodontic yang bisa disembuhkan dengan memasang kawat gigi,” ujar Mandozzi di goal.com.

“Pada dasarnya masalah ini tak berbahaya dan bisa disembuhkan dengan pengobatan. Jika memang klub percaya dengan kemampuan sang pemain, tentu hal ini bukan penghalang,”sebutnya.

Pihak Cissokho sendiri tidak bisa berkomentar banyak karena kelanjutan transfer ini sepenuhnya berada di tangan Milan.

Kendati demikian, situs Sky Sport24 punya teori yang bisa menyimpulkan manuver ini. Galliani disebut menunda penandatanganan kontrak karena berharap bisa mendapat potongan harga dari Porto akibat urusan gigi ini. Sungguh sebuah ide yang cerdas. (gun)
