PureFit Nutrition Bar, 2-Ounce Bars (Pack of 15)

PureFit Nutrition Bar, 2-Ounce Bars (Pack of 15)
Customer Review: A little costly but worth it.
These bars seem to be the healthiest “health” bars out there. They have almonds which is unique in protein bars. They dont taste quite as good as the harvest bars from POWERBAR(only 10 g protein) but they are not bad, for sure. They are easy to eat, not like the BIG 100 bars and the like that are thick and chewy and seem to want to seal your mouth shut. If you want a sweet great-tasting bar, buy a quaker bar. If you’re serious about eating a healthy and decent tasting protein bar, this is it. No chocolate in this bar. They actually are white and the almonds are chopped or ground up because you dont see them. There are not huge almonds floating around inside the bar.

Customer Review: OK for medicinal purposes perhaps.
I trusted the ratings (and how can you go wrong with “almond crunch”?). Without the labeling I’d have no idea what I was eating, but it’s neither tasty nor satisfying. Thanks to these bars, I no longer have an aversion to the gluten-free licorice I thought I didn’t like. (Water tastes better than ever as well.) These are basically highly sweetened (not a recipe for anyone who’s fructose-intolerant) mashed soy (which is at least frowned upon by some gluten-free guides).

You may disagree vehemently, but best to try one or two before ordering the quantities that Amazon requires.

Yoga For Your Eyes
“This is yoga because this is union with the eyes,” explains Meir Schneider in the introduction to Yoga for Your Eyes. Born legally blind, Schneider underwent many operations as a child but was unable to see more than light and shadow; he had to do all of his schoolwork in Braille. Today he is able to drive a car without use of glasses or contacts, after improving his sight holistically. In this video, Schneider shares his techniques, using movements that originate in two main sources: the techniques of ophthalmologist William Bates and Tibetan yoga.

To begin, Schneider instructs you to remove your contacts or glasses (how he expects you to see the screen clearly enough to follow the exercises is not explained). Then he moves on to “palming,” a vision-improving exercise. The instruction is thorough, including directions on how to breathe, and the movements are simple and relaxing. The second segment is “Testing Your Vision,” in which you’re told to make your own eye chart to graph your improvement. “Stimulating Your Peripheral Vision” is next, and it requires three pieces of black construction paper and tape to help you balance the use of both eyes together. “Outdoor Exercises” explains why older people have more vision difficulties and shows how to improve this problem. The final exercises–”Sunning,” “Skying,” and “Long Swing”–help you to adapt to bright lights.

Schneider is an earnest instructor, who obviously believes strongly in his methods. If you’re looking for a natural way to improve your eyesight, Yoga for Your Eyes is the place to begin. Also included with the video is a 62-page study guide. –Jenny Brown

Customer Review: Yoga for Your Eyes
I have not had an opportunity to review the tape, but it arrived in a timely fashion and was a new product as promised.
Customer Review: Gentle and effective
This is a clear, well-produced video/book/eyechart set. I began using it five days ago and could see only a double image of the big E. Now after the exercises I can read the first three lines. I have worn bifocals for 40 years, and I’m now wearing my glasses only to drive. I don’t see every detail clearly — Mr. Schneider doesn’t either. I do see what I need to see, and my vision has improved in a very short time. This is a gentle method which can do no harm. I wish I had explored it years ago.

Customer Review: Great tasting and healthy!
OUr five kids love these and so do my husband and I. They taste great and are easy to take along for last minute breakfast or protein packed snack. It’s hard to get enough protein and these help a lot.
Customer Review: Very good
My entire family likes thes bars. My kids like the choclate chip ones the best. I like them because they don’t crumble in my vehicle. (They do have choclate on the outside though, so my 4 yr old needs her hands and face cleaned when she’s done.) I’m not sure how well they do in the summer heat, either.

Money Talks - Profits Before Patient Safety
The controversial independent film Side Effects raised so many questions about the ethical and societal implications of the marketing practices the pharmaceutical industry, that writer/director Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau felt compelled to turn to the experts. The result is a gripping documentary that features interviews with key opinion leaders from Harvard, Columbia, UCLA and more. These thought leaders frankly discuss pharmaceutical influence as it relates to consumers, physicians, research, the FDA and Capitol Hill.

Customer Review: Tells it like it is about Big Pharma
You cannot imagine what bravery it took for this DVD to be made. One guest is a former detail man and the producer is former detail woman, now called drug reps. In a PBS documentary style, but with rapid movement between 6 guests, this is the story of overselling drugs, mis-educating physicians, and control of even academic medical research. Even if you are a jaded cynic like me, you will find out some new disgusting angle to the prescription drug business. Here is the place for me to recommend Deadly Medicine by Thomas J. Moore (1995) and any of his other books. And Let Them Eat Prozac by David Healy (2004). And The Trouble with Medical Journals by Richard Smith. And Calculated Risks by Gerd Gigerenzer (2002).
Customer Review: Excellent expose
This is an excellent overview of how drug companies will stoop at nothing to show their products in a good light, even if their “cures” are worse than useless and exorbitantly expensive. Two former sales reps explain how the drug companies seduce doctors from the time they’re in med school with gifts, trips, etc. Yes, we all know this, but hearing it from people who engaged in these practices makes their methods seem even more odious and manipulative. I especially liked Dr. Hoffman from UCLA whose calm explanations of the business of medicine and modern drug company tactics were excellent and scathing. I wish this DVD was required by all medical schools.
