Unleash The Secret Power In Your Eyes To See Again Without Reading Glasses. Try This Eye Doctor’s Discovery For Free – And See For Yourself.
Eye doctor Dr. Ray Gottlieb could be a genius. That’s certainly what people think once they learn his secret for sharpening reading vision without glasses.
Most doctors will tell you that reading glasses are an inevitable part of getting older, but thanks to Dr. Gottlieb’s discovery that doesn’t have to be the case for you and the millions of other people who suffer from presbyopia (“old eyes”).
Years ago, a frustrated patient begged Dr. Gottlieb for a way to get rid of his annoying reading glasses without having to resort to risky eye surgery.
The result?
Dr. Gottlieb researched everything he could find about aging eyes and re-discovered a vision secret that had been lost for nearly 150 years.
When he applied this vision secret to the problem of aging eyesight, his results were nothing short of magic. His patient’s eyesight sharpened dramatically!
The first time I saw him demonstrate this vision secret on a baby boomer, I was stunned!
Within minutes she was reading the finest print - without her reading glasses!
Lots of people are skeptical when they first hear about the promise of Dr. Gottlieb’s secret.
That’s why I want you to try it on your own eyes – for free.

Weight loss - health gain
Weight loss - health gain
Written by Michael Lord
Weight loss – health gain
BEING OVERWEIGHT or obese can cause serious health problems and is associated with several diseases, including cardiovascular disease; type 2 diabetes; high blood pressure; raised cholesterol levels; osteoarthritis; gallstones; breathing problems and some cancers.
To determine whether your weight is healthy, calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI) by dividing your weight in kilos by your height squared in metres:
BMI WEIGHT (KG)
Height (m) x Height (m)
Below 18.5 Underweight
18.5 - 24.9 NORMAL WEIGHT
25 - 29.9 Overweight
30 -34.9 Obese (Class I)
35 -39.9 Severely obese (Class II)
Above 40 Morbidly obese (Class III)
BMI can give an indication of whether your weight is healthy, but it is not foolproof. Some people with a normal BMI can still have an unhealthy weight if their body fat is distributed predominantly around their middle. Weight loss is desirable if waist measurements in men are 102cm (40in) or more and 88cm (35in) in women or more (a dress size of 18 is equivalent to a waist measurement of 89cm). Conversely, some athletes and sportsmen can have BMI's well in excess of 30, but are completely healthy; the high figure is a result of low body fat and more muscle.
If your BMI or waist measurement is above healthy levels you should seriously consider losing weight. Not only will this reduce your risks of developing disease, you will also have more energy and feel great!
Once you are motivated to lose excess weight, aim to shed ½ to 1 kilo per week, over a 2 - 3 month period. Crash diets do not generally work; they often put the body into ‘starvation’ mode, making weight loss difficult and uncomfortable. A reduced calorie diet is imperative, making changes to your diet to:
• Cut down on fat and sugar, replacing them with fruit, vegetables and starchy carbohydrates
• Reduce portion sizes and DON'T snack
• Reduce alcohol (alcohol = 7 calories per gram, compared to 9 calories per gram for fat)
• Beware of hidden sugars and fats in soft drinks and processed foods
Try to find new, ‘healthy’ recipes that you can use during your diet AND afterwards. Aim to change your lifestyle and diet permanently. That way you'll remain at your chosen weight when the diet ends. To maintain your new weight, you must reduce calorie intake by 30cal PER kilo lost PER day, or maintain an exercise regime to burn off this amount of calories.
General health advice recommends exercise is taken for at least 30 minutes, five times each week and during weight loss this should be doubled at least. Try using the stairs instead of lifts, walk or cycle to the shops, take up swimming or another sport you enjoy.
Remember, most health benefits come from losing the first 5-10% of body weight, generally between 5 & 10kgs.
Need help to lose weight? There are a number of products available to help with weight loss, the common ones are:
Orlistat (Xenical®): Reduces the absorption of dietary fat from the gut, is effective, but can produce side effects such as bloating, fatty stools, faecal urgency especially with high fat meals. It can interact with other drugs. Now available from pharmacies as Alli®
Zotrim Herbal: Contains extracts of three South American plants and has a dual mode of action: Satiety booster helps to increase the feeling of fullness and an energy booster helps users to be more active and to burn off more calories than usual. Zotrim Herbal was recently ranked as the best weight loss product available over the counter, achieving 5% body weight loss in 6 weeks.
Adios Herbal: Contains a natural product called fucus which is claimed to speed up the metabolism: in essence it burns fat. It is available in standard and MAX strength.
Valupak weight loss programme: Contains L-Carnitine which is involved in the metabolism (break down) of fat.
Sibutramine (Reductil®): This drug has now been withdrawn in Europe due to increased risks of heart attack and stroke in users.
Zotrim, Adios & Valupak are now available at Health & Beauty Abroad, Playa Flamenca.

Exercise is NOT the Key to Weight Loss | Natural Health
by Jon Herring
In the last 20 years, the number of overweight children and adolescents has tripled. Adults have fared just as poorly. Currently more than two thirds – almost 70% – of Americans are considered overweight or obese.
But it has very little to do with how much or the types of food we put in our mouths. That is, if you listen to the candy and snack food manufacturers, beverage companies, processed food industry and the fast food restaurants. According to these groups, the reasons why we are so fat are because we are just lazy and sedentary. We don’t exercise enough.
I won’t argue that most of us should be more active. But that is NOT the reason we are so fat. In fact, studies show that exercise is quite ineffective when it comes to weight loss. But more on that in a moment…
This week, I watched the documentary Killer at Large: Why Obesity is America’s Greatest Threat. In one segment, the filmmakers highlight the government’s efforts in 2007 to address the obesity crisis. President Bush, various legislators and the Department of Health and Human Services were all involved in drafting the government’s statements and recommendations.
But rather than viewing this as an opportunity to improve the nation’s health, the food industry saw it as a threat to their business. They were concerned that the government might recommend eating less processed junk food (Gasp!). So they mobilized their full army of lobbyists to shape the government’s message to their benefit.
The documentary showed clips of their various statements and speeches. Invariably, they denied that the obesity crisis has anything to do with the foods and beverages they market. There is nothing wrong with their foods. The problem is that we are not as active as we should be. Not surprisingly, the government soon adopted the same platform.
Get up and play
And they chose the lovable green ogre, Shrek, to deliver the message. You might remember the public service ads paid for by the U.S. Department of Health where Shrek tells kids to, “Get up and play an hour a day.”
But that’s not the only promotional work Shrek was doing that year…
You could also see his lovable ugly mug on packages of Snickers, Skittles, Froot Loops, Pop-Tarts and M&Ms. McDonald’s put his image on their restaurant windows and food bags. Cheetos made a snack that would turn your mouth green. And the Shrek version of Twinkies had a bright green filling.
The obvious message is that all of these foods are fun and fine. Just be sure to get some exercise.
It is no surprise the food companies would broadcast this message. And frankly, it is no surprise that the government played right along. It is just more evidence that the institutions of government have been captured by the industries they are mandated to regulate.
But that is not the only thing wrong with this message…
First of all, studies have shown that physical activity has NOT declined significantly in the last thirty years. We may sit in front of the computer more today, but before that it was the television. And the numbers of people who have gym memberships and participate in workout programs are near all-time highs. Other studies have shown that increased food energy is more than sufficient to explain the U.S. epidemic of obesity. (For references, see the end of this article.)
Beyond that, the role of exercise in weight loss has been wildly overstated. In fact, studies clearly show that exercise is quite ineffective when it comes to weight loss. But it’s even worse than that. If you exercise the way most weight loss specialists, government agencies and medical organizations tell you to, you will probably GAIN weight!
The typical recommendation from these organizations is what I call chronic cardio. For example, in 2007 the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Heart Association issued a joint statement recommending “60 to 90 minutes of physical activity” for weight loss. And they did not mean per week… that was per day!
In this article, I will tell you why exercise is not the key to weight loss. And I will show you why the wrong kind of exercise (chronic cardio) will actually undermine your weight loss efforts. But before I do, I want to make something clear…
I am a strong advocate for exercise. The health and emotional benefits of regular exercise are undeniable. Countless studies show that exercise (even low-level exercise) will dramatically reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease and diabetes. It helps to alleviate chronic pain. It will improve your mental health and cognitive ability. It improves your energy, stamina and longevity. And the list goes on. So you SHOULD exercise.
Just don’t expect it to work wonders when it comes to fat loss…
The problem with long-duration cardio, in particular, is that while it burns calories, it can also make you ravenously hungry. And not only does cardio exercise make us hungrier. It also makes us feel as if we are entitled to make bad food choices. I can’t tell you how many times I have heard someone say, “Well, I deserve this [insert decadent dessert here]. I worked out today.”
Studies clearly show that people who exercise more tend to eat more.
One study of 538 students, published in the International Journal of Obesity found that when kids start to exercise, they eat more – an average of 100 calories more than they burned during exercise. Talk about getting “stuck on a treadmill.”
The problem is that it can take only minutes to consume far more calories than you burn during exercise. It takes about 5 minutes to eat a few slices of pizza and wash it down with a tall glass of coke, for example. That’s about 1,000 calories. Now consider what it would take to burn off those calories.
