Dr. Bob was a M.D. internal medicine, orthomolecular doctor, M.D. psychiatrist, chiropractor, and healer 65 years. He was a diabetic who lived to 108 years with only 1 side effect.

Dr. Bob had a special interest in treating problems of hearing. When he was nineteen years old he lost both eardrums and this resulted in a 100% hearing loss. Dr. Bob owned a model T Ford. After his hearing loss he would drive his car and the model T would vibrate in the steering wheel. Dr. Bob found he could hear when this vibration was felt! This led him to discovering how he could learn to hear again. Eventually he discovered that the brain could hear separate from the use of the ears. Needless to say he learned to hear better than anyone I ever met. I called him on the telephone thousands of times. He made it through medical school. He gave lectures in large halls and he heard questions asked way in the back where lip reading was not possible. He heard everything!

Dr. Bob explained that his learning to hear again gave him the realization that a person could learn to improve their hearing by helping their processing center in the brain. He said he had an extra alertness to be on the lookout for natural substances that could make the processing center in the brain for hearing better and more acute. He said he discovered one substance like this in his sixty-five years of healing. He said it will not cure everything, but it will improve on average about 75% of almost all hearing problems. He said it even helps tinnitus.

Dr. Bob said the substance he found, "will work when nothing else works. It is basically not known." He also found that this substance would improve visual acuity by about 75% no matter what the problem, other than total blindness. In other words it would help anything defined as legally blind. A person would see better, his color vision would improve, and night vision would improve. Dr. Bob said the mechanism of how this substance improves the brain for eyesight and hearing is not known.

Dr. Bob used only substances that were orthomolecular. This means he would only use substances that were natural to the body, non- toxic, and safe in wide ranges of dose. The substances that are mainly used are herbs and vitamins/minerals. Sometimes a person can use too much of an orthomolecular substance. This can lead to some side effects. Any substance natural to the body, the body will usually get rid of it quickly and when you stop it or reduce the dose the side effects usually stop. The side effects to natural substances are generally things like headaches and nausea.

Dr. Bob said the substance that improved eye and hearing processing centers in the brain is called vinpocetine. Vinpocetine improves the brain and this results in improved eyesight and hearing. Vinpocetine is very potent, according to Dr. Bob. He said it works very efficiently in the body and so small doses are effective. Also vinpocetine is highly synergetic with other natural substances that are commonly used to improve other aspects of the brain. Dr. Bob advised to start out using vinpocetine in small doses and build it up. If you are using other supplements for the brain, then Dr. Bob said start out with 1/4 of a 5-mg tablet per day. For a healthy person, Dr. Bob advised 1 mg to 5 mg in the AM. He said build levels slowly and recommended using 5 mg AM and PM for people with hearing or sight problems. The usual side effects for excess dose are headaches and "feeling stupid." Dr. Bob said using 400 to 600 IU of dry vitamin E or 800-1200 IU of synthetic vitamin E, before you take vinpocetine would help the headaches. Also when you take vitamin E you should consult a physician if you are taking any blood thinner medication. One great aspect of orthomolecular medicine is the teamwork concept. This means different substances can greatly increase the beneficial aspects of other substances in the body, making them work better and sometimes longer. Dr. Bob said vinpocetine was one such substance, when in combination with synergistic substances, works much better. If you would like more information about this synergy contact this web site. So when using vinpocetine with other brain nutrients, be careful increasing the amounts of vinpocetine you take due to the synergetic effects brain nutrients may have on each other.

The methods Dr. Bob used is a system of medicine called orthomolecular, using natural substances that are non-toxic and safe in a wide range of dose. Consult your own physician before using any of these ideas. Ask your physician if vinpocetine is harmless at the recommended doses before using it.

Good luck to all. If you are happy with any cure or treatment you can make a donation. Dr. Bob often said, "go with the flow and contribute to the music of the motion." Thanks for coming to the web site. You can find vinpocetine on the product page of this web site.

Warning: Vinpocetine does not cure progressive pathologies of sight/hearing disorders. Vinpocetine will improve hearing and seeing. Vinpocetine works because it improves the efficiency of the areas of the brain involved in these senses. Get your hearing/sight checked by qualified professionals before commencing treatment with vinpocetine.


Note – In order for these anti-aging ideas to be successful, you must use supplements of the highest quality. Dr. Bob often said, "almost all supplement companies produce poor quality." You can consider the product page of this web site. Almost all the products met Dr. Bob’s approval. Since he passed away we have attempted to keep the same high standards.

WARNING:  DO NOT STOP ANY TREATMENT OR MEDICATION YOU CURRENTLY USE.  CONSULT WITH YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE STARTING THE USE OF SUPPLEMENTS.
