I think it's called old age, Steve! hahaha! I've heard of a few others it happened to. I imagine over time, my vision will go back to needing glasses again. Not sure.

I was originally nearsighted, then had both problems for about 10 yrs or so.

Hey Lymetoo---You must be eating too many carrots!

Our vision doesn't get better with age, at less mine doesn't.

You need to tell us what you're taking, if it's ``illegal'' - then PM all of US, I'll try anything!

Doctor was asking if any of my meds had changed. No...

I take Xango and curcumin which are both anti-inflammatories. But I was taking both last yr at my last apptm.

Nothing illegal. Squeaky clean me. [Cool]

Do you know if this is an eye shape issue or not? I think nearsightedness can be, so if that's the case, then your improvement is a minor miracle.

But if it's related to inflammation, then I wonder if it's due to the Xango and curcumin.

So far for me, the anti-inflammatories have not affected my nearsightedness.

So, tis interesting, and congrats!

This is awesome Lymetoo!

Do you know if anyone else has been able to get rid of their glasses or contacts by taking xango? That would be a really interesting fact for the company to try to find out.

I've been taking tons of curcumin and still need my contacts, maybe I need to try the xango:)

Robin.. you said mangosteen DID help your eyes. (it's an anti-inflammatory) I know my vision was verified as improved (by the eye Dr) soon after taking Xango 8 yrs ago. But it was not a HUGE improvement. That's why I thought the added curcumin may have helped even more.

(Sammy..i know others have had major improvements in their eyes from Xango . but not sure about going without glasses)

Just remembered... I also have astigmatism. WEIRD! My vision is now 20/25 in each eye... 20/20 overall. I think she mentioned it as having been 20/80 last May. Used to be worse than that.

MIGHT be .. that as my eyes are aging, they will go back and forth. One Dr told me 2 yrs ago that I had the beginnings of cataracts and my vision might change a lot.

The Dr I usually see told me that she doesn't usually call it "cataracts" at the point I'm at.. not yet. She can see changes, but not bad enough to be called cataracts.

Anyway... I'll take it.. saves me money! [Big Grin]

Lymetoo, I'm taking both teasel root and curcumin, but I think you have something there - I think the curcumin is very powerful. Maybe that's the one that's making some big changes in us? I don't know.

If so, it's a very simple, cheap remedy.

You know what was funny just now? Your post was right next to Thought for the Day - let's hear it for Lightfoot's amazing persistence here - and I misread just WHO had 2378 comments - I thought at first YOU had 2378 comments on why you seemed younger!

Isn't curcumin aka. as tumeric?

Anyway, my husband tried everything for his jock itch.

He took some of my tumeric, not even realizing why, and it cleared it right up (sorry to hubby for revealing TMI), but it IS for the greater good.

JR High with zits!? Now, THAT is brutal.

However, if you must go back, tumeric also helped my son's acne.
