Growing up, I remember kids sitting very close to (that tiny) TV screen and

being told that it " would make you near sighted " for you to sit so close. I

think they were right. When I was prescribed for glasses, years ago, an old man

advised me " Never use your glasses to read a book or newspaper and you will

never need them to " . Years later, I still take off my glasses to read, and

though

I am near-sighted, I can easily read books or computer or newspaper WITHOUT

glasses. All my contemporaries (who never needed glasses to see, at distance)

now need Reading Glasses to read.

My definition of Myopia: Having eyes trained to see 2D in a 3D world. Its

the equivalent of using an extremely low aperature on your 35MM camera.

Without depth of field, the world might as well be 2D.

I'd have to say though - being a computer geek... That Vitamin A seems to be

more nessicary for those who have to function in the modern 2D, but still

want to be able to view full 3D. I " lost " a lot of depth from my vision

when I got to my teens. Never got glasses since my eyes were exceptional,

and degraded to " normal " . I've got that exceptional vision back now after

fixing my Vitamin A status.

I got the Vitamin A that was extracted from CLO and I was taking about

10,000 IU/day. I'm up to about 30,000 IU now, but the eyes were better back

on the 10,000 IU/day.

How's your liver? What's your skin color? Are you turning slightly yellowish

or orange?

Lana,

how did you fix your vitamin A status?

I am confused by your questions here. She is taking vitamin A from CLO

not beta carotene.

Or am I missing something?

I think its time for the generic lesson of beta carotene does not equal

" Vitamin A " . It is a common misconception perpetuated by the food labeling

laws that allow beta carotene to be labeled as " Vitamin A " . The fact is,

beta-carotene takes a lot of effort to convert into A, and you do lose some

of it along the way, in addition to the possibility of becoming orange

tinted. That's why I take preformed, natural A from cod liver oil. It

doesn't have those side effects. As for my liver, it is doing far better

than it was before I started to take the A. That's where you keep your

vitamin A reserves, and I'm pretty sure mine were fairly depleted.

For my liver's sake I also take NAC and Milk Thistle, I take extra vit C each

time I take N acetyl cystine. Of the fat soluble, I take with a Fish Oil each

day: vit A, D, E, K, and also Bilberry and Lutein.
