If you have not read Part 1 yet read it now. Basically Hi-Health made unsubstantiated claims that their formula was able to repair damage from age-related macular degeneration. Their marketing plan used a well know spokesman, known for telling the truth to pass along their advertising. This became known as “paul harvey ocular nutrition” or “Paul Harvey’s Premier formula for Ocular Nutrition”.
As I mentioned in the previous post I am very fond of Paul Harvey and his radio program. I believe these unscrupulous business people used him and the weight of Paul’s radio show. This did work very well for hi-health, Paul Harvey does his job very well and there are still people looking for this formula.

Now according to the FTC, there are no nutritional studies in responsible medical journals that confirm the respondents’ claims. According to the complaint, and a statement issued by the National Eye Institute, verified this as well.
