Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can grow into any type of cell. In the future, stem cells may be used to make cells and tissues to treat many diseases. The adult body naturally contains some stem cells in the brain, blood vessels, bone marrow, skeletal muscle, teeth, skin, heart, gut, liver, and other organs and tissues. These cells are crucial for self-repair. Natural stem cells appear to lay dormant until they are needed to fight damage or diseases.
Natural Eye Care has prepared a special Stem Cell Support Package containing two supplements: Stem Xcell Pro and Royal Jelly.

Myopia, or nearsightedness, makes distant objects look blurry. Excessive up-close focusing is a risk factor for developing myopia.
Nearsightedness generally develops in childhood and stabilizes in teenagers. The eyeball becomes too long. Similar to a projector, light from the eye focuses on the retina. With nearsightedness, the light focuses in front of the retina, not on it. Sometimes the cornea is misshapen.
