The Natural Healing Eye Care Site

Our mission is to help protect and save vision by guiding people along the alternative medicine path with strategies and recommendations based on peer review studies and Dr. Grossman's over 25 years of patient experiences. As part of holistic medicine, we have expanded the website to include natural approaches for helping many other conditions since we consider vision problems to be related to the health of the whole body.

Any suggestions we make are not meant to replace conventional medicine, but instead to offer healing approaches supporting and using the body's own natural ability to heal itself. In this website we offer suggestions for many eye conditions, and are available to discuss your personal experiences and concerns.

• Combining the best in traditional and complementary eye care creates the greatest opportunity for individuals to protect and improve vision.
• Health of the eye depends on the well-being of the one's entire body. Therefore in healing and preservation of vision we provide lifestyle, diet, prevention and nutritional recommendations.
• How nutrients are absorbed by the body is essential in considering any healing approach. We recommend nutrients when available that can be delivered in liquid form to help ensure the best absorption.
• We carefully select the products we recommend from many different sources based on the bioavailability of the nutrients, quality of production, reasonableness of cost, and effectiveness in helping protect vision for the specific problem being focused on.
• Your feedback, personal experiences and needs are integral to making this site a shared and effective resource for everyone. We welcome you to click on our e-mail address below and send us your comments and questions. Please include your telephone number if you would like a personal call back.
