Personally, i hold a strong conviction that it's not age that leads to degenerating health, but the unhealthy choices we make over time. I also think that virtually all dis-ease is reversible by changing those choices and detoxing the body, and most importantly reprogramming the mind.
For example, yoga for the eyes and/or wearing pinhole glasses, urine therapy for the eyes, drinking wolfberry juice can all go toward restoring eyesight to 20/20 vision. It takes practice and patience, and being prepared to sit with the emotional discomfort which arises however, and most of us are not prepared to do what it takes, me included to some extent.
I'm happy to share more about this (not just eye stuff) on request.
Also, these words are only relative truth, ultimately no-thing is true.

This could be true for some I'd say, not all though.
My father died last year, at 84, after suffering from renal failure, cancer and dementia...He was the healthiest-living person I have ever met and was all his life. My mother died after a battle with cancer also and the same for her. Both never did drugs, drank alcohol or smoked cigarettes and ate well having grown most of their own food; Both were also quite spiritual and cared for their emotional well-being.
So...I think your statement certainly works for some but not others. Oh, my mother also went down the route of natural medicine and mind-over-matter practices for her cancer and died in intense agony, barely more than skin draped over her skeleton...So, it's not a method I'd personally use myself.
I appreciate there's some valid alternatives to traditional medicine out there and if they work for some that's great. Clearly not everyone benefits though.
Thanks for your point of view, and sorry for your loss.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
