[Milsurplus] DFing The LOs?

>Nice poster but this is perhaps the most successful Allied misdirection of all of those produced in WW2.  This plus the story about carrots and the eyesight of night fighter pilots helped hide the Allied advances in radar that turned the tide in the war.

I do not recall reading anything about carrots, that sounds more like something out of Looney-Tunes cartoons, but I somewhere saw a claim that Brit fighter pilots ate bilberry jam with breakfast; the story goes that this aided their night vision, so valuable for night fighter defense against German bombers. I am a skeptic but there is perhaps a basis in truth to such story. Night driving used to be a terror 
for me. The thing is, as we age, the eye's recovery time is not so fast any more, so you have a hard time dealing with oncoming headlight glare, the alternation of glare and no glare road lighting. If you wish to try a regime that may work for you, you want a supplement that provides in one, I mean one, softgel or one liquid dose at least 10 mg lutein and at the least 2 mg of zeaxanthin. Some supplements include astaxanthin 2 mg also. I have kept various brands around so I get all three. This is the absolute minimum daily dose and you  probably will want to 2x or 3x this amount. I didn't notice an improvement the next week but I'd say over months, I certainly did, and truthfully, this pleasantly surprised me. Bilberry, some supplements do include it or you can find it low priced in standalone supplements, gelcaps, like even at discount grocers. I also found that when driving my older vehicle at night, If I turned up the dash light to max, this constant light level helped with night vision, in that it reduced the max glare - to nonglare alternation presented to the eyes. 

Remember, the guarantee extended with free advice is that you get a full refund on what you paid. 

I also determined some decades back that unlike my father and my brother, I would fight becoming bald. I won that war, but it did take decades to figure it out. I'm not ready to publish anything on that
subject yet, and anyway, I know that most people simply lack the discipline or faith to follow the protocol in their daily lives.
