Praise God for this Miracle.

When he is hurling, I know a little bit about the sports over there:

It must be Cricket or the Gaelic Games, as that acronym I read in there could be, I think it said GAA or something. Great story! Peeng

[Budge]

Interesting, to say the least!

Ireland ping! (Hurl alert ...)

From the American Diabetes Association website: “Diabetic retinopathy causes 12,000 to 24,000 new cases of blindness each year making diabetes the leading cause of new cases of blindness in adults 20-74 years of age.”

Someone’s lying.

Is this the same stuff that Paul Harvey has spoken about on his program?

Sounds like I should check out that supplement.

While I don’t have degeneration, my eyesight is slowly getting worse, as happens to the majority of people. I also do have double vision.

Maybe it’s something I should look into.

GAA is the Gaelic Athletic Association. Hurling is like field hockey on steroids. Very rough-and-tumble. Look it up on Wikipedia.

I don’t know, sorry.

[apocalypto]

It should be. Maybe at a health supplement store.

[GourmetDan]

We need to ban this supplement ASAP and file criminal charges against the manufacturer and promoters for ‘practicing medicine without a license’.

Are you sure? Is a hurler not the same as a barfer?

I take lutene every day and am going to check out the other stuff. The macular degeneration is oftern hereditary.

Why are Lutein and Zeaxanthin Important in our Diet? Lutein (pronounced LOO-teen) and zeaxanthin (zee-a-ZANTH-in) are found in dark green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, collard, mustard and turnip greens. Egg yolks, corn and various fruit are also sources of lutein.

So, people. To help your eyes- eat any of the following foods:

spinach
kale
collard
mustard and turnip greens
squash
apricots
pepper
mangoes
tomatoes
pumpkin
