One thing you might consider trying is Yoga Breathing.  I took a yoga class a couple of years ago and I really liked that part of it.  It was very relaxing.

I now use that at the dentist to keep me from flipping out in the chair.  I used to take sedation medication just to get my teeth cleaned.  I had a bike accident when I was 5 and had emergency dental surgery as a result and I've not been a fan of the dentist until about 2 years ago.

There are probably a ton of videos online and Wai Lana is a commercial line you'll find at Target and Walmart.

Tabby, this is fabulous!!! By now you should probably be preparing to leave the surgical site, with your new SIGHT!

Just a tiny warning- I thought my skin was pretty good for a 65 yo Belle, until I looked in the mirror with my restored eyes.

Best BEST wishes!!!!!

All of you may already be aware of this, but in case you aren't, The Food Babe is another one offering good advice.

I just discovered The Food Babe during my online research last week.  She has great information!

She's interesting but controversial.

She gets called out on a lot of stuff apparently.

Her message is good, her facts are a little suspect to many.

Thank you for your comments, VaBelle.  Can you be more specific?

When she was doing her book tour, a few of the interviewers brought up the fact that she is light on facts and research and long on scaring people.

I want to say she was on an NPR show that talked about this.  And also maybe a Mark's Daily Apply podcast.

I will see if I can find them.

But you can also do a google of Food Babe and Controversy and you'll get a whole host of articles on her troubled journey.  She has apparently deleted a ton of stuff off of her blog after being questioned about it.

I found it.  It was Experience Life Magazine. She was on the cover and people went NUTS.

Link to Facebook - Experience Life Magazine -- Food Babe Cover comments

Experience Life is one of my favorite magazines, followed closely by Eating Well.  I like the level of detail they put into their stories and give you information to read more or make  your own judgments about things.

I had never heard of her before they put her on the cover and the outrage.  I actually had to unfollow/unfriend Experience Life from FB because it was just non-stop.

Thank you for the information!  I just discovered her so I had no idea about the controversy.  I'll have to google her.  Again, thank you!

Thank you for finding this information... I'll take a look.
