Yes Magazine - “Water—whether we treat it as a public good or as a commodity that can be bought and sold—will in large part determine whether our future is peaceful or perilous,” wrote the scholar Maude Barlow.

In Italy last month, an overwhelming number of people (96 percent of the 57 percent of the population that voted) cast their ballots for a peaceful future based on shared ownership of water.

(NaturalNews) - "Oriental Medicine teaches us that the opening of the liver channel is in the corner of the eyes. The liver channel runs vertically from the bottom to the top of the body and opens in the eyes. Whatever effects the liver also directly effects the eyes.

The subtler functions of the liver root deeply into our emotional and psychic energies and thus the liver and our eyesight are impacted by excessive emotional stress. Any inflammation localized in the liver channel will cause inflammation of the eyes.

Therefore when we rejuvenate the liver, we directly promote the health of our eyes."
