Re: Vision Recovery Program

Funny how I've asked two different eye doctors if there was some sort of

exercising I could do for the old eyes, and one said " no " and the other said it

would be a waste of time. I guess they put job security above their commitment

to true eye health, eh?

5) DON'T wear sunglasses (same reason, I assume)

I have heard that sunglasses only block out a few of the " harmful " types of

rays. Like most only block UV rays. I do not know what the other rays are called

but they are allowed though the sunglasses. So the eye is more dilated (because

of the dark lenses) and absorbing more of the harmful rays! Yikes, not good!

To allow the iris to work as it was created to work blocks out the major part

of the harmful rays (better than any sunglasses) and strengthens the eye while

better protecting it.

Interesting fact. When I was in PT for neck pain. They would have me move my

eyes to the right and then to the left. This would exercise the neck muscles

similar to turning the neck from side to side but not hurt the neck. Try it.

Hold your head straight ahead, then look over to your left. Hold it for 20

seconds, then do the other side the same way. You may not really feel it then

but you will some later!

Developmental or behavioral optometrists take extra studies in how vision

develops in children. Google the Optometric Extension Program in California.

My school is the only one I know of that has an optometric clinic right in

the school. That¹s because how well you see relates to how well you read.

I don¹t know of anyone working with adults. Dr. Zwicky used to, but he

retired. The optometrist here said she would be willing to write a reduced

prescription if people wanted to try it. She¹s not trained in adults, so

exercises are up to each person. Dr. Zwicky thought VT was helpful for

adults. He said that it is far easier to get results for children because

the brain is growing so rapidly.

We do the exercises in groups and the kids think they are playing games. We

run a summer program called Boost Up. Kids come in and do a half day

session for a few weeks. We test reading skills before and after. Most

kids make a several month reading gain and we are not teaching reading. We

are playing games to help them improve sensory pathways.

That being said, I¹m 52 and just had my prescription reduced. Eyes are run

by six muscles and if you don¹t use them, they atrophy. Just like having a

cast on your arm. Good visual hygiene means not staring at the computer for

8 hours. Take a few minutes and focus right, left, up, down, in and out

every half hour or so. I¹m near sided because I read all the time. Part of

the change in my vision is because we just got this hundred acre property

and I¹m climbing up and down hills and focusing farther out. I¹m also eating

better.

>> The Bates eye exercise technique is so good it's ILLEGAL in some

states!

What is the Bates technique? My friend Amy has a chart with a design

that is allegedly Tibetan. It looks like a cart wheel with many

notches and " cogs. " You are supposed to follow the edges of the design

with your eyesight, as if you were tracing it, and it supposedly helps

strengthen the eyes. Wonder if this Bates technique is similar.

What is the Bates technique?

Redwing Books, which primarily serves the Traditional Chinese

Medicine folks also has a few books by him or on this topic.

Fun idea for a swap. At the next swap have everyone bring babies. Human

babies are born monocular. They use one eye and then the other. Kind of

like a goldfish. All babies in every culture roll over, belly crawl, then

get up on hands and knees and rock, then begin to creep on hands and knees.

After they have several weeks of creeping, they develop binocular vision.

Take the babies and shine a pen light directly in their eyes, move it slowly

to the nose and then out again. The reflection of the pen light is in the

center of each pupil if they have binocular vision. The adults doing or

watching this should have their head level with the babies. It takes a bit

of practice to see this and if you are standing above them what you see gets

distorted.

In newborns, the reflection of the light will be in the center of one pupil

and the side of the other pupil. In babies who are creeping well, the

reflection will be in the center of both eyes.

Another fun fact, human babies are born with very little hip socket. By

crawling and creeping they literally grind in the socket. ny jump ups,

walkers, playpens should be used sparingly. Make a safe room for babies to

move.

I showed Will pictures of a group of doctors who went all over the world

doing the pen light test. In some remote areas where they didn¹t put babies

on the ground because of snakes, they had no near point vision. These

tribes were wonderful at far point vision and hunted with bow and arrow.

Their bodies were incredibly strong and healthy. They had no near point

vision and no written language.

DON P, this is your lucky day! I've got a special price on that vision recovery

kit and if you

respond within 20 minutes, I will sell it to you for the low, low, low price of

$999.99!

Everyone else at Trad-Foods, because you are SPECIAL, can buy my new special

sooper-

dooper holistic kit for the new special low price of $899.99 but... YOU MUST ACT

NOW. Pick

up the phone and call me now for this once in a lifetime offer!

SERIOUSLY THOUGH, the Mercola course is still a mystery to me, I've only heard

it described

and have yet to begin it. I tried the Bates course 2-3 times in the past and the

exercises are

super boring and very time consuming. I'm thinking this one will be hard but

much improved.

You DO get every print journal that BATES ever wrote (about 10# of paper) the

entire

QUACKENBUSH program (another 10#) plus one other one that I can't remember.

Mercola

capitalizes on these techniques, modernizes them and combines it with the SUPER

NUTRITION, PHYSICAL EXERCISE, and EMOTIONAL HEALING. Without the latter, you are

quite

unlikely to have success. This is a guaranteed plan by the way.

BONUS Vision quality is directly related to MENTAL ACTIVITY. The more acute

your sensory

perception, the more acute the thinking. I meant to ask him how this applies to

blind people.

Last thing on this topic. I never wore contacts because it felt like

putting plastic directly on my eye. A personal opinion. Many of the

contact lens solutions used to have thimerosal in them. Thimerosal is

mercury and one of the things people are worried about with children who

seemed normal and regressed into autism.

I¹m not sure the mercury is out of contact lens products. I went to a big

chain store and looked. I saw bottles that said thimerosol free on the

outside of the package. Others where people had to buy the bottle and read

the insert after purchasing.

I also talked to one of our optometrists. She told me that the thimerosal

used to be put in the contact solution (putting mercury right on your eye)

and many people had reactions, most was removed.

We need to read labels.

MN is the first state to have a mercury sniffing dog available for schools.

The dogs name is Clancy and he is from the humane society. He is a middle

aged Lab and available to your children¹s school through the Pollution

Control Agency. I saw him on TV a couple weeks ago. Great dog! We have not

yet had him out to our school. I think the children would have a blast with

watching Clancy do his work.

Any follow-up comments on this topic? My, my myopia magnifies moment

It seems I have to do something, I've resisted bifocals so far.
