A WONDERFUL STORY OF EYESIGHT REGAINED

Over thirty years ago, Robert Zuraw had a most trying experience with his eyes. Without his glasses, he was legally blind. Eye doctors gave him no hope of ever improving his vision or discarding his glasses. But he was not yet ready to throw in the towel. He was a fightera real street fighter in his youthand his determined willpower kicked in. The idea of wearing glasses was intolerable, absolutely annoying. He knew there had to be someone who could help him. Always willing to back up his theories by experimenting upon himself, he immediately sought and eventually found natural eye improvement specialists, and started upon a course of natural eye treatment that he fully believed would help him.
