At our next VIVA-Raw Potluck, come and learn how to preserve and improve your eyesight … with Joy Thompson, Natural Vision Educator (http://www.joythompson.com)

This will be a lively, interactive talk … let go of the old paradigms … learn to see as you were meant to see; with your own eyes, for life!


It is possible at any age and any stage of life to improve the health of our eyes through knowledge of Natural Vision Improvement practices, combined with a healthy dietary program. Discover how a vegan raw food diet can be designed to support our delicate eyes nutritionally and learn simple techniques that help the eyes get back to the optimum way of seeing. Our eyes are the most nutritionally demanding parts of our bodies, and because of this, the need for fresh, raw organic food in a program of visual healing is critical, as also to protect and preserve our precious eyes and to guard against disease.
