REVERSE vision defects with this ‘dinosaur tree’
If you’re a little on the older side, you’ll want to protect your aging eyes…
So you DON’T become one of the MILLIONS of Americans with the degenerative eye condition known as glaucoma.
Because once glaucoma takes hold… it puts you in the crosshairs for vision loss.
For instance, what begins as a loss of peripheral vision could turn into literal TUNNEL VISION.
Or, some folks with glaucoma experience defects right in the CENTER of their visual field!
Even though glaucoma can run in families… and your genetics do have some influence over whether or not it develops…
You’re NOT helpless in the fight to keep your eyesight.
SAVING your vision is 100% possible…
Thanks to an ancient treatment that’s been around since before dinosaurs roamed the earth.
Take off the blinders
The ginkgo biloba tree (Salisburia adiantifolia) has been around for as long as the Early Jurassic Period — 270 million years ago, maybe more.
Scientists call it a “living fossil” because of how it OUTLIVED the dinosaurs!
A single tree can grow to be more than 2,700 years old…
And as a testament to the species’ longevity, ginkgo plants were one of the only living things to survive the bombing of Hiroshima in 1945.
Traditional Chinese Medicine has used ginkgo for over 5,000 years – though you may have only recently heard of it as the superstar ingredient behind many brain-boosting supplements.
But it turns out that ginkgo is also a vision-saving hero!
You’ve read right here in eAlert how ginkgo biloba can SLAM THE BRAKES on irreversible vision loss due to age-related macular degeneration.
Well, it can ALSO beat back the course of glaucoma… thanks to that same mechanism of improving blood flow to the eye.
In one study out of Italy, better blood flow after taking ginkgo biloba was linked to better vision in folks with glaucoma who’d reported a progressive loss of vision over time.
Specifically, the researchers observed improvements in the subjects’ visual field measurements.
And that improvement was significant within just 4 weeks… with ZERO negative side effects.
But when they STOPPED taking ginkgo… their vision defects REVERTED back to the way they were before the study started.
Subsequent studies have also revealed how ginkgo biloba might SHIELD the optic nerve from damage, too…
Thanks to its antioxidant action.
And that might be the SAME mechanism behind its cognitive-boosting capabilities!
Ginkgo biloba is available in capsule form, tablets, liquid extracts, and dried leaf for teas… and can easily be found at your local health food store or online.
In the study I just mentioned, participants took 40 mg ginkgo extract three times daily.
Talk to your eye doctor first before incorporating a ginkgo supplement into your daily routine.
This is especially true if you currently suffer from glaucoma and are already taking prescription eye drops.

P.S. You can also keep glaucoma from STEALING your vision by trying other nutrient therapies, like citicoline… blackcurrant… and THIS special approach to eating.
