Doctors Have Officially Frozen And Reanimated A Human Being For The First Time
One of the biggest problems with exploring the furthest reaches of space is the sheer time scale involved. Without a breakthrough in physics that would allow human beings to enter a state of suspended animation (or faster than light travel), it wouldn't be possible.
But now, it looks like doctors have made progress with actually freezing and reviving human beings. Samuel Tisherman, a professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, has led a team that has actually put a human being into suspended animation, according to the Daily Star.
Tisherman told New Scientist that he replaced a human's blood with ice-cold saline solution. He called the whole ordeal "a little surreal". The patient was then removed from the cooling system and taken to an operating theater for a two hour surgical procedure before having their blood restored and their body warmed back up to its normal temperature.
Tisherman says he's going to be producing a full account of the procedure in a new scientific paper that will be released in 2020. He aims to pause life long enough to perform emergency surgery, rather than use the technology for space travel.
He recalled the story of a young man who, after being stabbed, didn't have enough time to make it to surgery: "He was a healthy young man just minutes before, then suddenly he was dead. We could have saved him if we'd had enough time. I want to make clear that we're not trying to send people off to Saturn. We're trying to buy ourselves more time to save lives."
But, of course, it's only a matter of time until everybody's favorite "I can't keep my nose out of anyone's achievements and if you don't believe me, ask Vernon Unsworth" tech entrepreneur will weigh in on the issue and, undoubtedly, comment on how it can be used for space travel, and to further his own PR agenda.
Tisherman also did not release how many studies took place before this one successful one. The experiment had the blessing of the FDA, who waived the requirement for patient consent, as the patient could not be saved by any other means. The biggest obstacle remains limiting damage to people as the patient is re-warmed - reperfusion injuries.
"We haven't identified all the causes of reperfusion injuries yet," Tisherman said.
But one way or another, the "future" we could only imagine in movies is now at our doorstep...
Reality has always been stranger than fiction, it's in the telling of it....
The radiation from cell towers, smart meters, cell phones, tablets, wi-fi routers and even bluetooth is known as non-ionizing (not heating) radiation, though just because you can't feel heat does not mean it is not harmful. Actually, cumulative impacts of non-ionizing radiation have been researched and results showing causation of negative health impacts are conclusive.
Not sure what to think? I encourage you to do your own research to easily reveal a shocking amount of indisputable information showing the harms of cumulative non- ionizing radiation.
What is EMF and why should I care?
EMF is an acronym that stands for Electromagnetic Fields. The EMF is a name given to RF (Radio Frequency) waves that carry data, such as wi-fi, blue tooth and cell phones. The EMF actually confuses our bodies, making us think we are in bright daylight, throwing off our biological clock and important functions it has. Also EMF is a form of radiation called non-ionizing radiation.
Our bodies accumulate this radiation and slowly but surely symptoms arise.
Electric & Magnetic Fields (EMFs)
An electromagnetic field, or EMF for short, is an invisible area of energy or radiation that is associated with the use of electrical power. This radiation is grouped into two categories based on their frequency across the electromagnetic spectrum.
These categories are Non-Ionizing and Ionizing.
Non-Ionizing radiation occurs on the lower end of the spectrum where there is insufficient energy to cause ionization. This radiation does not have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms or molecules of materials such as air, water, or living tissue.
Ionizing radiation is a form of energy on the higher end of the spectrum and acts by removing electrons from atoms and molecules such as air, water or living tissue. This radiation can penetrate the human body and the radiation energy can be absorbed in our tissue.
The dividing line between non-ionizing and ionizing radiation occurs in the ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum as we move from lower energy into higher energy frequencies.
Frequencies are the rate in which a wave completes its cycle. Higher energy frequencies are moving very rapidly and completing their cycle quickly where as lower energy frequencies are spread out across longer waves.
What is Frequency?
Frequency is something we don't learn much about in our history books. Had we learned about names like Nikola Tesla and Royal Raymond Rife in grade school, I presume we would know much more about harmful and beneficial frequencies. Even the 432 Hertz versus 440 Hertz debate in tuning musical "A" opens up the discussion for Solfeggio frequencies and extensive research going back centuries. Especially fascinating are the discoveries of frequency exploration and the human body. Such as binaural beats or 532 Hertz meditation music and especially knowledge of the Circadian Rythm and Schumann's Resonance.
Hertz, named after Heinrich Hertz is a measurement of how many waves will pass a given point per second. For instance, the Hertz of the frequency wave of the earth, the heartbeat vibration emitted from the earth, is 7.83 Hertz, meaning in 1 second 7.83 waves go by per second.
Invisible radio waves , like light but invisible to the limited visual spectrum where our eyes absorb light. Just like how infrared light is invisible to the human eye, as are other light waves just in different wave length size. For instance, light waves that are red have certain properties to be visually perceived as red, if the light wave however was slightly larger in size (wave length) the color changes to infrared and then becomes invisible to the human eye but it is still present. If the wave length is shortened from red, it becomes orange and then yellow, still within our visual spectrum. Another example is Ultra Violet light from the sun, it is invisible but slightly larger than UV lightwaves are violet, indigo, blue, all colors of light we can see with our eyes.
What is non-ionizing radiation?
Radiation was once identified as only that radiation which heats, known as ionizing radiation. Ionizing, because it actually strips electrons from ions, making them volatile and thus causing a thermal reaction, for example a microwave oven.
Non-ionizing radiation was first identified as harmful after the nuclear meltdown in Chernobyl, Russia. Following the nuclear reactor leak subsequent impacts on surrounding life such as mutations of plants, animals and humans, the scientific community concluded that non thermal radiation is not only cumulative but harmful. At this time the EPA was relieved of their duty to monitor radiation levels from cellular and wireless technology. Instead, the FCC was given full authority to monitor health impacts and set safety standards in the United States regarding non-ionizing radiation.
Non-ionizing radiation includes radio frequency radiation and EMF radiation from cell phones.
Various studies, including : Released October 4, 1971 by the Naval Medical Research Institute, all culmination of 2,311 studies concluded Biological phenomena (effect) and clinical manifestation attributed to microwave and RF radiation.
Grounding and The Schumann's Resonance
The human body is an electrical system and when working with currents of electricity, grounding the energy becomes necessary to allow energy to flow naturally. As we surround ourselves with dirty electricity from wall outlets and power lines and even EMF, we build up electricity and positive ions in our bodies which naturally want to simply flow into the earth. Imagine our physical bodes are metal wires conducting electricity, and the energy wants to be continuous, but upon hitting our rubber soles on our shoes, the energy is forced to circled in our body, (our circuit). The electric energy can get built up and even cause physical harm the electricity builds and has nowhere to go. But upon removing our shoes and establishing a connection to the earth we ground our energy into the earth, releasing the built up energy and allowing for a free flow of electricity if there happens to be stray electricity flowing into us.
Our clocks are also reset. The heartbeat of the earth was first discovered by Schumann …
What is a Circadian Rhythm?
Simply put it is our biological frequency, tuned to the heartbeat of the earth. Extremely important as our Circadian Rhythm directly impacts when and if we release certain internal chemicals and hormones throughout the day. If disrupted depression, fatigue, insomnia and many other issues can result.
The hat can help protect our frequencies.
Our Mind
Our brains are easily effected by frequencies. For example, listening to a type of music called "binaural beats" with headphones can induce any desired brainwave state. The ideal brainwave state is Theta therefore binaural beats usually aim to induce a Theta brain wave state. An example of the susceptibility to frequencies of our brains.
What is 5G?
The next generation cell phone technology will be on a new bandwidth spectrum of radio waves and because it is the 5th generation it is referred to as 5G. The problem facing the 5G however is the size of the radio waves being used for the transfer of information. Radio frequency carrier waves for instance carry AM radio at nearly 1,000 feet in height and FM radio and about 10 feet in height. This unique and new radio frequency carrier wave is a millimeter in size, which is much smaller than our current technology and the smallest radio wave size ever utilized (less than the width of a penny which is 1.5 millimeters). In order to propagate this small wave, cell towers must be erected with an infrastructure which requires a small cell tower in every neighborhood. The technology has been noted as potentially harmful especially if you are the unlucky person or family who has a "Small Cell" (small cell phone tower) erected on your front yard sidewalk or lamppost. Proximity to these new cell towers is a growing concern and many independent and unbiased studies have raised much alarm concerning the technology. Nationwide deployment is expected in the year 2020 and human health impacts are anticipated by those informed on the research surrounding the issue.
What is a Smart Meter?
Older utility meters are called analog meters. The newer meters, which are digital, are known as Smart Meters. Different utility companies have different models of Smart Meters but all emit radiation in order to report your power usage. The Smart Meter uses microwaves to send your power data to a cell tower. Radiation level emission can be very high and protective measures such as opting out by calling your power company.
Is EMF / RF radiation dangerous?
Thousands of independent peer reviewed studies have shown EMF radiation to be hazardous to human health. It has been shown to cause depression by disruption of circadian rhythm. Cause cell bifurcation leading to tumors. Cause endocrine system disruption. The studies are plentiful if you look.
Wireless Concealments
When it comes to identifying the major sources of radiation in our communities, there is more than meets the eye.
The world is being restructured with wireless technology whether we are ready or not.
From smart devices and smart homes, to smart roads and smart cities, Internet of Things (IoT) is here, and it's expanding rapidly. New applications are becoming more and more popular across many different industries, and with it comes risks.
Generally, when a wireless communication company wants to expand their network and coverage area they will construct a new tower, or lease a spot on an existing tower. But with the crowded nature of today's urban environments, this is not always the easiest solution.
The available real estate for cell sites has shifted from standalone towers with at least 300 square feet of unoccupied land around it, to a booming industry where rooftop cell sites are leased and wireless concealment installations are a part of a building's blueprints.
If coverage is the only concern, rooftops are naturally an ideal location for a cell site as they are at the desirable height, they are typically flat or stable, and they are generally free from interference that would cause attenuation or signal deterioration.
But even with rooftop cell sites being the hot commodity that they are, with them still comes the eyesore to the community. The tactics used to blend and disguise these antenna systems into our communities has grown and evolved right along side this technology, and many companies now are moving into the world of wireless concealment for their needs. After all, even if the biological risks are not well understood, people generally dislike looking at large antenna systems littered across their city, and what's out of sight is often out of mind.
With wireless concealment, companies can discreetly hide or camouflage their antennas in new ways that not only provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance, but do not sacrifice signal deterioration.
Without an awareness to how this technology can be hidden, many people don't even know it's there.
So in what types of locations can we find wireless technology being hidden?
Restaurants, hotels, airports, casinos, hospitals, churches, schools, libraries, theme parks, cruise ships, retail stores, stadiums… really anywhere that has a steady flow of people commuting or seeking entertainment, goods, and services.
Some examples of popular wireless concealments include:
Poles; utility poles, traffic light poles, street light poles, stadium light poles, and flagpoles.
Fake trees, bushes, rocks or boulders.
Business signs, street signs, archways, chimneys, church steeples, scoreboards, and even directly into the walls or ceilings of commercial and residential buildings.
Freeways, bridges, streets and sidewalks are being transformed and lined with this technology from the interstates right down to the communities and neighborhoods we live in. Understanding how to identify and avoid high radiation zones will be an asset in our lives as we navigate the cities of the future. Pairing this knowledge along with an EMF meter may be one of the wisest investments any of us can make.
To learn more, take a look at the following companies portfolios and read up on how concealment technology functions. There is some valuable and detailed information that can be found on many of these websites and this list only scratches the surface.
The primary objective of SPERO Protection Clothing is to protect children and pregnant women from EMF Radiation. Children are much more susceptible to harm from microwave radiation, especially infants. In modern EMF levels, the developing brain of a child is very much in harms-way, if not protected.

Radiologists Conceal Heavy Metal Accumulation From MRIs
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging study that allows your physician to see detailed pictures of your organs and tissues. The MRI machine uses a large magnet, radio waves and a computer to take detailed cross-sectional pictures of your internal organs and tissues.1
The scanner looks like a tube with a table that enables you to slide into the tunnel of the machine to gather data. Unlike CT scans or X-rays that use ionizing radiation known to damage DNA, the MRI uses magnetic fields.
Images from an MRI give physicians better information about abnormalities, tumors, cysts and specific organ problems with your heart, liver, uterus, kidneys and other organs.
In some instances, your physician may want an enhanced MRI, one using a contrast agent or dye to improve the clarity of the images produced. According to a recent international poll,2 a majority of radiologists avoid informing patients when deposits of toxic contrast agents are discovered.
FDA Guidance on Gadolinium
Gadolinium is the contrast agent of choice in about one-third of cases.3 It's injected into your body, allowing for greater detail to show up in the MRI images. There's a price for this, however, as gadolinium is a highly toxic heavy metal.
To reduce its toxicity, the gadolinium is administered with a chelating agent.4 However, research suggests as much as 25% of the gadolinium injected in certain patients is not excreted,5,6 and deposits are still found in some patients long afterward.
In 2015, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began investigating the potential health effects from brain deposits of gadolinium, and released guidelines7 on the use of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) to lower any potential risk.
Two years later, the agency issued an update8 saying "Gadolinium retention has not been directly linked to adverse health effects in patients with normal kidney function," and that the benefits of GBCAs outweigh potential risks. Still, the agency required a new class warning and certain safety measures to be implemented. In its December 19, 2017, safety announcement, the FDA stated:9
"… after additional review and consultation with the Medical Imaging Drugs Advisory Committee, we are requiring several actions to alert health care professionals and patients about gadolinium retention after an MRI using a GBCA, and actions that can help minimize problems.
These include requiring a new patient Medication Guide, providing educational information that every patient will be asked to read before receiving a GBCA. We are also requiring manufacturers of GBCAs to conduct human and animal studies to further assess the safety of these contrast agents …
Health care professionals should consider the retention characteristics of each agent when choosing a GBCA for patients who may be at higher risk for gadolinium retention …
These patients include those requiring multiple lifetime doses, pregnant women, children, and patients with inflammatory conditions. Minimize repeated GBCA imaging studies when possible, particularly closely spaced MRI studies."

Patients Responsible for Requesting Medication Guide
However, while MRI centers are required to provide the gadolinium medication guide to all first-time patients scheduled for an enhanced MRI, hospital inpatients are not required to receive the guide unless the patient specifically requests it. A rather disconcerting detail mentioned in the FDA's May 16, 2018, update is that:10
"A health care professional who determines that it is not in a patient's best interest to receive a Medication Guide because of significant concerns about its effects may direct that it not be provided to that patient."
In other words, if they think you might say no to the procedure because you're worried about heavy metal toxicity, the health professional is allowed to simply withhold the safety information. Only if you specifically ask for it must that guide be provided to you.
While the FDA decided not to restrict the use of any GBCAs, the European Medicines Agency's Pharmacovigilance and Risk Assessment Committee has recommended suspending the use of four linear gadolinium contrast agents shown to be less stable (and therefore more likely to accumulate in the brain and cause issues in those with kidney problems) than macrocyclic GBCAs.11
Most Radiologists Hide Findings of Gadolinium Deposits
An equally disturbing finding12 is that 58% of radiologists hide findings of gadolinium deposits from patients when they're found on scans. As reported by Health Imaging,13 the most commonly cited justification for omitting any mention of gadolinium deposits in their radiology report was to avoid provoking "unnecessary patient anxiety."
However, this also prevents patients from taking action to protect their health, which could be really important if they're experiencing effects of gadolinium toxicity and haven't put 2 and 2 together yet.
To date, the greatest danger of GBCA has been thought to be relegated to those with severe kidney disease, in whom GBCA exposure has been linked to nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF),14 a debilitating disease involving progressive tissue fibrosis involving skin and subcutaneous tissues.15 To avoid this, those with kidney disease need to receive more stable forms of chelate with the gadolinium.16
However, the fact that gadolinium can accumulate in the brain (and throughout your body) even if you do not have kidney problems could have significant, hitherto unrecognized, dangers. For example, use of GBCAs has been linked to hypersensitivity in two brain regions (the dentate nucleus and globus pallidus),17 the consequences of which are still unknown.
Hyperintensity in the dentate nucleus has previously been linked to multiple sclerosis, and according to more recent research, this hyperintensity may actually be the result of the large number of enhanced MRI scans MS patients tend to receive.18 Hyperintensity of the globus pallidus, meanwhile, has been linked to liver dysfunction.
Researchers Propose New Gadolinium Disease Category
In the 2016 paper,19 "Gadolinium in Humans: A Family of Disorders," the researchers actually propose that GBCA deposits in the body should be viewed as a new disease category. They write:
"In early 2014, an investigation by Kanda et.al. described the development of high signal intensity in brain tissue on T-2 weighted images of patients with normal renal function after repeated administrations of GBCA …
This caught many radiologists by surprise, as many had thought that deposition of gadolinium could not occur in patients with normal renal function. This deposition results in signal-intensity increase on unenhanced T1-weighted images in different regions of the brain, primarily in the dentate nucleus and globus pallidus …
To our knowledge, neither the bone deposition first reported by Gibby et. al. nor the brain deposition first reported by Kanda et. al. have been associated with recognized disease. We propose to name these storage entities 'gadolinium storage condition.'
Along a separate avenue of inquiry, patient advocacy groups have formed, with an online presence in which individual members report that they have experienced severe disease following the administration of GBCAs.
Some of these patients have reported persistent presence of gadolinium in their systems, as shown by continued elevated gadolinium in their urine. All experience a variety of symptoms including pain in both the torso and the extremities; the latter location is associated with skin thickening and discoloration.
These physical features are similar, but lesser in severity, to those reported for NSF. Our preliminary investigation has convinced us that this phenomenon is a true disease process, which we propose naming 'gadolinium deposition disease.'"
The researchers go on to note other common signs and symptoms of "gadolinium deposition disease," such as persistent headache, bone, joint, tendon and ligament pain (often described as sharp pins and needles, cutting or burning), tightness in the hands and feet, brain fog and soft-tissue thickening that "clinically appears somewhat spongy or rubbery without the hardness and redness observed in NSF."
Lawsuit Highlights Gadolinium Dangers
"Gadolinium deposition disease" is what Chuck Norris' wife Gena claims to have developed after undergoing three contrast-enhanced MRIs in a single week to evaluate her rheumatoid arthritis.
The study cited above is part of the evidence included in the Norris' lawsuit20,21 (filed in November 2017) against several manufacturers and distributors of GBCAs. According to the lawsuit, the risks of gadolinium were known, yet patients are not warned.
Gena's symptoms began with a burning sensation in her skin. In a 2017 Full Measure interview, she described it as if there was acid burning her skin, slowly covering her body.22 Mental confusion, muscle spasms, kidney damage and muscle wasting followed.
She visited the emergency room several nights in a row, where doctors ran tests for ALS, MS, cancer and Parkinson's disease. The couple's attorney, Todd Walburg, told CBS News,23 "We have clients who have been misdiagnosed with Lyme disease, ALS, and then they've eventually ruled all those things out and the culprit remaining is the gadolinium."
In fact, it was Gena who made the connection between her symptoms and the MRIs she had undergone. She told Full Measure:24
"When we got to the hospital in Houston this last time, and I'm so bad and I said, listen, I am sober enough in my thinking right now, because I had such brain issues going on, I said I'm only going to be able to tell you this one time and I need you to listen to me very closely. I have been poisoned with gadolinium or by gadolinium and we don't have much time to figure out how to get this out of my body or I am going to die."
The Norrises claim they've spent nearly $2 million on efforts to restore Gena's health, with little progress. Even chelation therapy has had limited success.25
Heavy Metal Toxicity Is a Common Modern Hazard
Heavy metals are widely distributed throughout the environment from industrial, agricultural, medical and technical pollution. Heavy metal toxicity has documented potential for serious health consequences, including kidney, neurological, cardiovascular, skeletal and endocrine damage.
Heavy metals most commonly associated with poisoning are arsenic, lead, mercury and cadmium, which are also the heavy metals most commonly found in environmental pollution. Symptoms of heavy metal poisoning vary based on the organ systems affected.
Scientists have found that heavy metals also increase oxidative stress secondary to free radical formation.26 Testing for heavy metal toxicity includes blood, urine and hair and nail analysis for cumulative exposure.
The key take-home message here is to avoid using MRI scans with contrast unless absolutely necessary. Many times, physicians will order these tests just to be complete and cover themselves from a legal perspective.
If that is your case, then simply refuse to have the test done with contrast. If necessary, consult with other physicians that can provide you with a different perspective.
This is particularly important if you have a condition such as MS in which multiple MRIs are done. Also remember that multiple MRIs with contrast will be particularly dangerous the closer they're done together.
If You Need an MRI, It Pays to Shop Around
While I always recommend being judicious in your use of medical diagnostic procedures, there are times when it is appropriate and useful for you to have a certain test.
What many don't realize is that the fees for these procedures can vary tremendously, depending on where they are performed. Hospitals tend to be the most expensive option for diagnostics and outpatient procedures, sometimes by an enormous margin.
Freestanding diagnostic centers are alternative places to obtain services such as lab studies, X-rays and MRIs, often at a fraction of the cost charged by hospitals. Private imaging centers are not affiliated with any particular hospital and are typically open for Monday through Friday business hours, as opposed to hospital radiology centers that require round-the-clock staffing.
Hospitals often charge higher fees for their services to offset the costs of their 24/7 operations. Hospitals also may charge exorbitant fees for high-tech diagnostics, like MRIs, to subsidize other poorly reimbursed services. And, hospitals are allowed to charge Medicare and other third-party insurers a "facility fee," leading to even more price inflation.
So, if you do find that you need an MRI, don't be afraid to shop around. With a few phone calls to diagnostic centers in your area, you could save up to 85% over what a hospital would charge for the same service.
This exercise allows to practice the change of accommodation and thus improve our acuity.
The exercise requires a special calendar chart with digits of three different sizes.
Fix the calendar chart on the wall and set yourself at a distance from which you see clearly the largest digits, recognize the middle-sized digits with difficulty and cannot read the smallest of them.
Begin the exercise from a look at the next bigger digit (for example, 1), close the eyes, turn your head right and open the eyes. Make a return movement with your eyes closed, this time stopping at the next digit (in this case, 2), close your eyes again and move your head left. Open your eyes again and go back to the chart to the next digit (in this case, 3) etc. until we reach the end of the first row (1-10). Do a short palming.
Now, move to the first digit in the second row (that is, 11) and keeping your eyes open, go down-left to the medium-sized number of 11. Close the eyes for a second (imaging the digit of 11 and that we move the sight from a large to a medium-sized digit). Open your eyes again and move your eyes down right from the large to the medium-sized number of 11. Close your eyes again. Repeat the step 4 for next numbers of the second row (11-20). Do a short palming.
Now, practice with the numbers from the third row (21-30) so that with your eyes open you can make the movement: large-sized number of 21, medium-sized 21 on the left, medium-sized 21 on the right and finally the small-sized 21. It is not important that you are not able to see the small-sized 21 clearly or at all. Close the eyes and imagine this motion in your mind. Visualize that you are seeing each number very clearly. Now, repeat the step 5 for the next numbers from the third row (21-30).
Should you feel any eye ache during the exercise, stop doing it. In the end, do a longer palming as this exercise puts much stress to the eyes.
Over three out of four people believe that their sight is the most important sense they have. This is probably related to the fact that about 80% of what we perceive through our senses comes in through our sight.
Good eyesight plays a crucial role in your mobility and your enjoyment of life so it would certainly make sense to optimize your eyesight as much as possible without the use of artificial and unnatural aids that will only worsen your vision with continued use.
Why Eyeglasses Actually WORSEN Your Vision
Glasses Only Treat the Symptoms
In today's "spinning door" world of managed healthcare, it's no surprise that most doctors will simply prescribe glasses or even surgery right off the bat. And let's face it - they've been trained to treat vision that way and they're not about to change overnight.
So if they tell you there's "nothing else you can do" and "no other way" to improve your eyesight, keep this in mind before you decide:
Stronger eyeglasses do nothing to address the underlying root of vision health, nor do they protect your eyes from the ever-continuing onslaught of free radical damage.
That's why you almost never hear of anyone needing weaker glasses. A prescription for stronger glasses today is a prescription for yet even stronger ones down the road as more and more free radical damage to your eyes goes unchecked.
While it is true that eyeglasses bring some people improved vision and relief from pain and discomfort, they always do more or less harm, and at their best they never improve your vision to normal.
Most people don't realize that their visual abnormalities are a dynamic process that varies regularly throughout the day due to a variety of conditions. They simply are not set in stone.
Pioneering physicians have examined 20,000 school children and found that more than half had normal eyes, with sight that was perfect at times, but not one of them had perfect sight in each eye at all times of the day. Their sight might be good in the morning and imperfect in the afternoon, or imperfect in the morning and perfect in the afternoon.
Many children could read one Snellen test card with perfect sight, while unable to see a different one perfectly. Many could also read some letters of the alphabet perfectly, while unable to distinguish other letters of the same size under similar conditions.
What was true for the children is also true for adults.
The degree of imperfect sight varied within wide limits. Its duration was also variable. Under some conditions, it might continue for only a few minutes or less, while under others it might prevent the subject from seeing the blackboard for days, weeks, or even longer.
The bottom line is you and/or your children do not have a static, unchanging visual impairment. It changes widely throughout the day.
Eyeglasses Don't Compensate for Variable Vision
One of the most foundational flaws with glasses is that they provide an unchanging consistent correction for a refractive error in your eye that is CONSTANTLY changing.
After you begin to wear glasses, in most cases, the correction has to be steadily increased in order to maintain the degree of visual acuity secured by the aid of the first pair. Your vision while wearing glasses progressively decreases with time.
A person with myopia of 20/70 who puts on glasses giving him a vision of 20/20 may find that in a week's time his unaided vision has declined to 20/200.
When people break their glasses and go without them for a week or two, they frequently observe their sight has improved. As a matter of fact the sight always improves, to a greater or lesser degree, when glasses are discarded, although many might not pay attention and appreciate this change.
The difficulty of keeping glasses clear is one of the minor discomforts of, and complaints about, glasses. On damp and rainy days, the atmosphere clouds them. On hot days, the perspiration from your body may have a similar effect. On cold days, they are often clouded by the moisture of your breath.
Every day, they are subject to contamination by dust and moisture and unintentional touch of the fingers to unavoidable handling, that it is seldom they afford an absolutely unobstructed view. Additionally, they are easy to misplace or break.
Other pitfalls include:
The cost of glasses and eye doctor appointments
They are considered unnatural and a non-holistic remedy for your vision health -- they send the wrong message to your mind and body
When used as reading glasses, they can be construed as socially embarrassing and send a social sign you are aging
They may cause you eye injury. A university study concluded an estimated 27,000 people end up in the emergency room for injuries related to wearing eyeglasses.
And if you have children, there's a growing consensus that…
Your Kids Don't Need Glasses
Now, think of all the issues I mentioned above with your eyeglasses, and apply them to your kids.
I would strongly advise you to exercise extreme caution before you impose glasses on your children. It really is tragic when children are condemned to a lifetime of having to wear glasses because, of all age groups, they are the ones who best respond to natural eye improvement strategies.
A study conducted by Anglia Polytechnic University in Cambridge, England, found the very best intentions by optometrists to correct short-sightedness in a group of 94 children, in fact made the children's vision worse.
Another study published in Acta Ophthalmologica Scandinavia in March 2002 (page 125) showed in hunter-gatherer populations, less than 2% of the children required glasses, unlike European or Asian populations that have up to 50% of children needing glasses.
Do you know what they call this where I live in Chicago?
A clue.
This is an astounding observation that can have a profound effect on your child's eye health.
The study of 229 hunter-gatherer societies found that refined cereals and sugars were rarely if ever consumed in these groups living in their traditional manner. But the moment they had western contact these foods rapidly became dietary staples, and the loss of the children's vision followed after that.
Eating foods low in sugar and without an excess of grains, sugars, soda and fruit juices could help keep their insulin levels in check -- the reason many children require glasses for vision correction is due to increases in free insulin-like growth factor (IGF).
Have Your Children Checked by a Specialist!
It's also very important you have your child's vision examined by the appropriate professional -- in this case, a pediatric ophthalmologist.
Why do I recommend this?
A university study conducted by Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and published in the Journal of the American Association of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, provided striking information.
The study reported the following for children under the care of an eye professional:
Optometrists -- prescribed glasses 35% of the time
General ophthalmologists -- prescribed glasses 12% of the time
Pediatric ophthalmologists -- prescribed glasses only 2% of the time
This study clearly shows the importance of choosing the right professional eye doctor to examine your kids. Plus, the study concluded that optometrists and ophthalmologists who usually treat adults may not have as much expertise with children.
Remember, if you start your kids early with glasses you could be starting their slow vision deterioration at a very young age.
This is obviously an outcome no parent would want for their children.
Program Works Exceptionally Well for Children
Further in this report, I will discuss more specifics of a natural vision recovery program, but there is a major point you need to understand when making the decision to put glasses on your child.
Persons of all ages have been benefited by this relaxation treatment, but children usually, though not always, respond much more quickly than adults.
If they are under 12 years of age, or even under 16, and have never worn glasses, they usually improve in a few days, weeks, or months, and nearly always within a year, by reading something as simple as a Snellen test card every day.
Avoid Wasting Your Hard-earned Cash on Contacts
Next on my list of alternatives for vision improvement are contact lenses.
While contacts seem relatively benign, they certainly are not a natural solution. And there's no way you were ever designed to wear them.
Believe me -- I spent over 5 years researching all forms of vision improvement to not only help you, but to solve my own vision problem as well. I am convinced that contacts can be an even worse solution than glasses.
Here are the main issues I have with contact lenses and why I recommend you avoid them… They:
Are inconvenient to use -- can be uncomfortable to you with a poor fit
Create recurring expenses for replacements, solutions, and check-ups
Can be difficult for you to keep clean and disinfected
Can potentially lead to irritation and abrasion of your cornea
May deprive your covered cornea of necessary oxygen
Dry out your eyes and may cause eye and eyelid infections
Subject you to irritation from dust, pollutants, and allergens
May interfere with your normal blinking and tearing
Potentially distort the shape of your cornea, impacting your vision
But there is an even more concerning issue with contact lenses -- the lens solutions and cleansers necessary for their use.
Fungal eye infections causing potential blindness forced some companies to withdraw their cleansers from the marketplace. Well-established companies such as Bausch and Lomb and Advanced Medical Optics, to name two, faced recall issues on their lens solutions.
So, if you have any doubt about using contact lenses, this is certainly an additional serious concern. Due to injury and even death, law-suits have been filed against at least one of the cleanser producers.
Warning:LASIK May Cause You MORE Problems than Improvement
The latest laser technology can slice and dice your cornea, reshaping it through computer-driven instruments to correct refractive error.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if a simple surgery could provide a simple quick fix? I know many of you have considered LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) surgery. The challenge is that for many, LASIK produces amazing results in the short term.
But what people fail to consider is the long-term perspective. Recent studies raised further questions on the safety and efficacy of laser surgery for improving sight.
Most patients do not even recover 20/20 vision. The long-term view is not much better.
Even for those who initially attain "perfect" 20/20 eyesight, the improvement diminishes for many after six months, requiring the use of glasses for such tasks as night driving or reading.
And the costs?
Most insurance companies still do not cover the procedure. Here are a few examples of the pricing and option complexities you face:
$2,105 for all laser-based vision correction procedures in which a single price is quoted.
$1,662 for non-customized LASIK using a bladed instrument (microkeratome) and excimer lasers not guided by wavefront analysis.
$2,341 for wavefront-guided LASIK using IntraLase.
Even more troubling is your risk of complications and side effects from botched or problematic LASIK surgery -- many of which have been downplayed to the general public.
Even though the FDA is supportive of LASIK surgery, their own website on LASIK surgery raises the following risks you should be aware of:
Some patients lose vision -- Some patients lose lines of vision on the vision chart that cannot be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or surgery as a result of treatment
Some patients develop debilitating visual symptoms -- Some patients develop glare, halos, and/or double vision that can seriously affect nighttime vision
You may be under-treated or over-treated -- Onlya certain percent of patients achieve 20/20 vision without glasses or contacts. You may require additional treatment, but additional treatment may not be possible
Some patients may develop severe dry eye syndrome -- Asa result of surgery, your eye may not be able to produce enough tears to keep the eye moist and comfortable. This condition may be permanent
Results are generally not as good in patients with very large refractive errors of any type -- You should discuss your expectations with your doctor and realize that you may still require glasses or contacts after the surgery
For some farsighted patients, results may diminish with age -- The level of improved vision you experience after surgery for farsightedness may decrease with age
Long-term data are not available -- LASIK is a relatively new technology. Therefore, the long-term safety and effectiveness of LASIK surgery is not known
Are you ready to give it a try? I would not recommend it.
Remember, as I'm driven to find a natural, holistic approach for both of us, this certainly does not come close.
What About Eye Muscle Exercises?
A number of programs are available for improving vision that promote vision correction through eye exercises.
Even though this approach is closer to the natural solution, strengthening, toning, and conditioning your six eye muscles to keep them in perfect working order is quite simply not the right answer.
Why is that?
Most people don't understand that the primary reason you can't see clearly is your eye muscles have too much strain, tightness, and contraction. Exercises can't correct this, and, in fact they can actually worsen your vision.
Eye muscle exercises could lead you further down the path of strain -- the exact opposite of the direction you need to go to achieve true vision improvement.
What your eyes really need is to re-learn how to let go, to RELAX, and to somehow naturally reclaim the perfect unstrained vision that a young, healthy child has.
You may temporarily improve your sight with exercise, but you cannot improve it to normal, and if the effort is allowed to become continuous, your sight will steadily deteriorate and may eventually be destroyed.
Very seldom is the impairment or destruction of your vision due to any fault in the construction of your eye. Of two equally good pairs of eyes, one will retain perfect sight to the end of life, and the other will lose it in kindergarten, simply because one looks at things without effort and the other does not.
An eye with normal sight never struggles to see; it just happens effortlessly.
If for any reason, such as dim light, or the distance of the object, a normal eye cannot see a particular point, it shifts to another point. A normal eye never tries to bring out the point by staring at it, as the abnormal eye with imperfect sight is constantly doing.
Whenever your eye tries to see, it, at once, ceases to have normal vision. You may look at the stars with normal vision, but if you try to count the stars in any particular constellation you will probably become myopic, because the attempt to do these things usually results in an effort to see.
It obviously requires a strain to fail to see at the distance because the eye at rest is adjusted for distant vision. If one does anything when one wants to see at the distance, one must do the wrong thing.
The shape of your eyeball cannot be altered during distant vision without strain. It is equally a strain to fail to see at close up because when your muscles respond to your mind's desire they do it without strain.
Could it Really be this Simple? Amazingly, the Answer is "Yes"
Your mind is the source of all stress from outside sources brought to bear upon your eye. Every thought of effort in your mind, of whatever sort, transmits a motor impulse to your eye; and every such impulse causes a deviation from the normal in the shape of the eyeball and lessens the sensitiveness of the center of sight.
If you want to have perfect vision, therefore, you must minimize stress in your mind. Mental strain of any kind always produces conscious or unconscious eyestrain and if the strain takes the form of an effort to see, an error of refraction is always produced.
Mental strain may produce many different kinds of eyestrain. While there are many types of strains, there is only one cure for all of them -- namely -- relaxation.
The health of your eye depends upon your blood, and circulation is very largely influenced by your thoughts. When your thoughts are normal -- that is, not attended by any excitement or strain -- the circulation in your brain is normal, the supply of blood to your optic nerve and your visual centers are normal, and your vision is perfect.
When your thoughts are abnormal your circulation is disturbed, the supply of blood to your optic nerve and visual centers is altered, and your vision lowered.
You can consciously think thoughts that disturb your circulation and lower your visual power; you can also consciously think thoughts that will restore normal circulation, and thereby improve not only all errors of refraction, but many other abnormal conditions of your eyes.
You cannot by any amount of effort make yourself see, but by learning to control your thoughts you can accomplish that end indirectly.
When a disturbing thought is replaced by one that relaxes, your squint disappears, the double vision and the errors of refraction are corrected; and this is as true of abnormalities of long-standing, as of those produced voluntarily.
No matter how long your eyes have been impaired an improvement is accomplished just as soon as you are able to secure mental control. The cause of any error of refraction, of a squint, or of any other functional disturbance of your eye is simply a thought -- a wrong thought -- and the improvement is as quick as the thought that relaxes.
In a fraction of a second, the highest degrees of refractive error may be corrected, a squint may disappear, or the blindness of amblyopia may be relieved.
If the relaxation is only momentary, the correction is momentary. When it becomes permanent, the correction is permanent.
This relaxation cannot, however, be obtained by any sort of effort. It is fundamental that you understand this; for so long as you think, consciously or unconsciously, that relief from strain may be obtained by another strain your improvement will be delayed.
That is why RELAXING your eyes and addressing the stressors that contribute to the stress are keys to helping you recover your vision.
Why Making Sound Dietary and Emotional Choices are Key Vision Enhancers
Temporary conditions may contribute to the strain to see that results in poor eyesight, but its foundation lies in the wrong habits of your thought.
Very seldom is the impairment or destruction of vision due to any fault in the construction of your eye. Of two equally good pairs of eyes, one will retain perfect sight to the end of life, and the other will lose it in kindergarten simply because one looks at things without effort and the other does not.
In addition to optimizing blood flow by relaxing and controlling your thoughts, you can also directly improve the nutrients your central nervous system and eye receive by focusing on high quality nutrition.
Here are the dietary guidelines I follow to support eyesight:
Eat plenty of foods containing lutein -- spinach, broccoli, zucchini, and peas
Increase your intake of omega-3s -- krill oil is a great choice
Eat nutritious raw egg yolks -- they contain zeaxanthin and lutein
Consume plenty of raw vegetables and fruits -- particularly dark berries
Avoid processed foods, especially those containing trans fats
And now, for the rest of my cruise story…
The Two Words that Helped Improve my Vision
Despite my own dedication to a healthy diet and getting plenty of sunlight, I still needed to use glasses to read the small print on a menu.
That day back in 2005 on the Caribbean cruise, when I broke my glasses and met Dr. Larry Clapp, was a major turning point in my long search for natural vision improvement.
And the two words Dr. Clapp shared with me that day were: Bates Method.
The Bates Method is a 100-year-old approach that has helped tens of thousands of people recover their vision naturally -- including me!
Dr. Bates was in many ways a renegade just like me. He was a traditionally trained ophthalmologist at Cornell University. He practiced for over 30 years and his experience with tens of thousands of patients showed him there were serious flaws in the conventional views of eye science at the turn of the 20th century.
Rather than use the conventional cumbersome and relatively inaccurate Snellen eye charts (which are still used today) he used a far more accurate retinoscope to assess his patient's visual acuity.
The retinoscope is an instrument used to measure the refraction of the eye by throwing a beam of light into the pupil by reflection from a mirror, the light being either outside the instrument -- above and behind the subject -- or arranged within it by means of an electric battery.
Squinting at road signs? Now that's trouble waiting to happen!
At 65 mph, just three seconds spent trying to read a sign means you'll travel the length of a football field without watching what's happening in front of you!
Poor sight can affect your driving depth perception as well. Just imagine the potentially horrific consequences if you misjudge the distance of approaching cars when making a left turn... mishandle a sharp curve on the road... or even overshoot or undershoot a stop sign, intersection, or driveway.
That's why some states like Florida are considering making seniors take an annual vision test to review their driver's license. Fail the test and your driving privileges will be revoked on the spot! With the AARP backing this kind of testing, you can expect more and more states to jump on the bandwagon.
Will your eyesight be up to the challenge today, five years from now, and five years after that?
For 30 years, Dr. Bates used the retinoscope to examine under a wide variety of clinical settings the eyes of thousands of school children, infants, and animals, including cats, dogs, rabbits, horses, cows, birds, turtles, reptiles and fish.
His persistent research allowed him to uncover some basic strategies in helping tens of thousands of people recover their vision without the use of glasses or surgery.
So Dr. Bates boldly told the entire eye community in the early 1900s that based on his observations over 30 years it was his belief that what they had been teaching for the last century was simply wrong and they were actually causing more harm than good.
His alternative approach was so effective and such a threat to the traditional eye community, that leading eye specialists in the 1900s manipulated New York politicians into making it illegal. They simply could not tolerate the competition from his new approach.
And, interestingly, to this day the Bates Method for naturally recovering your vision remains illegal in the state of New York.
I learned a powerful secret from Dr. Clapp that day on the cruise.
Remarkably, 20 years after Dr. Clapp discovered these simple but powerful techniques of natural vision correction, his vision still remained perfectly clear -- as were the others he'd shared the Bates Method with.
You see, Dr Bates was a radical pioneer far ahead of his time, even in today's medical views. He was a maverick physician who dedicated his life to learning why people develop problems with their eyesight -- problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, presbyopia, and astigmatism.
Sadly, Dr. Clapp passed away a few years ago, but until his death he still didn't need glasses, and he serves as a tremendous model that you can live a full natural life without ever requiring the use of reading glasses.
Now I'm ready to share this natural vision correction method with you.
Discover these 100-Year-Old Secrets
To discover the techniques and methods that helped me restore my own vision, I flew out to California to train with a leading instructor in this unique method.
It cost me thousands of dollars (and as you will soon see, something you won't have to worry about). But it was more than worth the investment of my time and money to regain my vision without the use of glasses or contacts.
It flat-out worked -- I virtually never use my reading glasses. About the only time I require them are under very low-light settings, or to read very tiny print (3 point font) in poor light. But given enough light I simply do not require the use of glasses anymore.
My own results impressed me so much and with all the in-depth research my team and I did on the history and success of the Bates Method -- I decided to simplify this powerful natural vision improvement training for you.
How to Restore Your Vision Naturally
When your mind is under a strain your eye usually goes more or less blind. Your center of sight goes blind first, partially or completely, according to the degree of the strain, and if the strain is great enough the whole or the greater part of your retina may be involved.
When your eye possesses central fixation it not only possesses perfect sight, but it is perfectly at rest and can be used indefinitely without fatigue. It is open and quiet; no nervous movements are seen. In other words, there are no muscular insufficiencies.
This fact is not generally known.
The muscles of your face and of your whole body are also at rest, and when the condition is habitual there are no wrinkles or dark circles around your eyes.
All the methods used in the improvement of poor vision are simply different ways of obtaining relaxation, and the fundamental principle is as follows:
Do you read imperfectly?
Can you observe then that when you look at the first word, or the first letter, of a sentence you do not see best where you are looking; that you see other words, or other letters, just as well as or better than the one you are looking at?
Do you observe also that the harder you try to see the worse you see?
Now close your eyes and rest them, remembering some color, like black or white that you can remember perfectly. Keep them closed until they feel rested, or until the feeling of strain has been completely relieved. Now open them and look at the first word or letter of a sentence for a fraction of a second.
If you have been able to relax, partially or completely, you will have a flash of improved or clear vision, and the area seen best will be smaller.
After opening your eyes for this fraction of a second, close them again quickly, still remembering the color, and keep them closed until they again feel rested. Then open them again for a fraction of a second.
Continue this alternate resting of the eyes and flashing of the letters for a time, and you may soon find that you can keep your eyes open longer than a fraction of a second without losing the improved vision.
If your trouble is with distant instead of near vision, use the same method with distant letters. In this way, you can demonstrate for yourself the fundamental principle of the cure of imperfect sight by treatment without glasses.
More Tips to Help You Recover Your Vision
Remember that relaxation, NOT exercising your eye muscles, is the answer to recovering your vision. The strain to see is a strain of your mind, and, as in all cases in which there is a strain of your mind, there is a loss of mental control. So strategies designed to eliminate the mental strain that underlies the imperfect functioning of your eyes are the key to recovering your vision.
It is also important to understand that sleep is not relaxation.
Most people, when told that rest or relaxation will improve their eye troubles ask why sleep does not do so. This is because your eyes are rarely, if ever, completely relaxed in sleep, and if they are under a strain while you are awake, that strain will certainly be continued while you sleep, to a greater or lesser degree, just as a strain of other parts of your body continues.
The fact is that when your mind is at rest, nothing can tire your eyes, and when your mind is under a strain nothing can rest them.
A very common habit that many people wind up doing is squinting when they want to see more clearly. This does work initially but it actually worsens your vision over time as it will cause chronic contraction of the muscles around your eyes, which is precisely why you start to lose your near vision when you age.
So one of the KEY strategies you can use to recover your vision is simply to notice when you are squinting, and stop. What you can do as an alternative to squinting to improve your sight is to blink a few times.
Simply blinking rapidly a few times will help you see more clearly and is a long term solution that will improve your vision, unlike squinting which will actually worsen your vision over time.
Another key strategy is viewing documents on your computer. While it is very easy to adjust the font of your documents to larger sizes, your best bet is to avoid doing this.
I myself noticed that I would change the size of Word documents from 100% to 150% which clearly made it easier to read but at the same time leads to a progressive worsening of your vision. So if you want to improve your vision, read in the smallest font possible on your screen.
Avoid Sunglasses Like the Plague
Another powerful, simple, and inexpensive strategy is to ditch your sunglasses. Most people don't understand that there are more than 1500 wavelengths of light that you need to nourish your eyes.
When you deprive your eyes of these wavelengths they will become progressively more malnourished and worsen your eyesight.
There are some conditions where sunglasses make sense, but they are under extreme and short-term circumstances, such as skiing down a mountain or boating on a bright sunny day, where the snow or water greatly magnifies the sunlight to unusual and potentially harmful circumstances.
But otherwise, wear a cap and keep the sun out of your eyes that way, as the hat will not block any of the sunshine from nourishing your eye.
How a Simple Technique Can be One of the Most Relaxing Things for Your Eyes
Here's an example of one of the Bates Method techniques to help you relax and sharpen your vision. It's called "palming."
Palming technique for YOUR vision enhancement:
It turns out that "palming" is one of the most relaxing things you can do for your eyes. And relaxation is a cornerstone of improving your vision naturally.
Try this simple version of palming:
Rest your elbows comfortably on a table or desk.
Cover your eyes with your cupped palms as shown.
Add a pillow under your elbows if more height is needed to keep your back relaxed and straight.
Breathe deeply while you palm for a few minutes.
The technique of palming to rest the eyes from all light stimulation was an integral part of Dr. Bates' approach.
He concluded from his study and treatment of thousands of eyes that tight muscles actually contort the eyes and restrict circulation. He found that palming helps those muscles relax and let go.
Palming just a few minutes in the morning, at night, or while at work can be very restful. Many people report clearer vision and a reduction of symptoms such as headaches and dry eyes with regular palming.
Relaxation is a key element in naturally enhancing your vision. I'm definitely a testament to this amazing technique.
You Don't Have to Fly across the Country and Spend Thousands of Dollars to Recover Your Vision
While I was absolutely delighted to recover my vision and have no regrets at all in investing thousands of dollars to learn this technique, it was obvious to me that most people would not do this, so I started my journey to find a less expensive and equally effective alternative.
That is why I compiled this extensive page with audio clips to aid you and your family's journey in helping you recover your vision. These techniques alone have helped many people recover their vision.
However, if you need additional coaching I put together a training program for you.
The program is called Reclaim Your Eyesight Naturally.
With this complete holistic program, you'll discover the safe and proven approach to help you eliminate your eyesight problems.
With Reclaim Your Eyesight Naturally, you can...
Discover how to throw away your glasses for good
Get rid of your messy and irritating contact lenses
Avoid the risks and costs of LASIK eye surgery
Improve your vision in just minutes a day
Free yourself from eyestrain and neck strain
And save thousands of dollars on your lifetime vision care costs!
Natural Vision Training and YOU
You may be wondering if this natural eyesight improvement program is right for you. Well, let's take a closer look.
First of all, you need to know this technique is not a quick fix. Although results in a few days or weeks are not uncommon, your natural vision improvement will take time, commitment, practice, and patience on your part.
According to Dr. Bates' teachings, common vision problems are reversible -- and are not necessarily the result of genetics.
For example, he believed blurred vision is functional rather than structural -- it results from chronic tension in some or all of your six extrinsic eye muscles.
The Reclaim Your Eyesight Naturally program focuses on retraining the external muscles of your eyes and could be helpful to you if...
You're nearsighted or farsighted and use glasses or contact lenses
You've been told you have astigmatism
You have presbyopia or "aging eyesight," and use reading glasses to see close-up
You're just starting to notice problems with your eyesight. Your vision isn't as clear as it used to be and you're concerned that it may be worsening
You're considering LASIK eye surgery, but have concerns or fears about the risks
You're tired of dealing with the hassles and expense of glasses or contact lenses
You suffer from eye strain, muscle tension headaches or tight muscles in the neck and upper back from reading, watching TV, or using your computer.
You've already had LASIK, but your vision is starting to worsen again.
Here's what's in store for you with this natural vision improvement program:
How Natural Vision Improvement Addresses the Root Causes of Your Vision Issues
I know from experience that Greg Marsh, your natural vision teacher on the audio program, won't waste your time with a bunch of fluff.
With a combination of mental and visual tools, he'll take you right into the subtle details of improving your eyesight. As you listen, you'll participate actively in exploring and discovering:
Where your strain is, what it feels like, and how to let it go
How the 3 principles of natural vision -- movement, centralization, and relaxation work in unison
Why your eyes must move to see
How your emotions and personality may be involved in your vision
What children instinctively know about vision that you don't
How to work with your eye doctor to achieve your goals
Why willpower and effort don't work when it comes to your vision improvement
How you can best handle computers and close-up work
Why it's critical for you to let go of tight muscles for total body-mind health
Your seven full hours of material mixes basic easy-to-understand theory with activities, examples, and real-life case studies.
Plus, within the Reclaim Your Eyesight Naturally audio set, Greg leads you through 15 guided hands-on visualization activities you can use over and over again to continue to enhance your vision. This program also includes a 62-page guidebook to help you tie everything together.
Depending upon your own personal schedule, you can listen to a few tracks a day, or quickly complete the entire program.
And of course, you will have all 6 CDs to refer to, or review as often as you like.
WARNING: This Course Is NOT For Everyone!
If you are looking for a quick fix, Dr. Bates' approach is clearly not for you.
The time required to effect a permanent improvement varies greatly with everyone. In some cases five, 10, or 15 minutes is sufficient. However, it is often necessary to continue the treatment for weeks and months.
While I personally experienced rapid improvement in my eyesight, vision improvement commonly occurs gradually over time. If you take the typical Western approach and believe in a quick fix, take a pill for every health solution, then go no further, as this program will require time on your part to help you recover your lost vision.
When improvement is complete, it is always permanent, but complete improvement, which does not mean the attainment of what is ordinarily called normal sight, but of a measure of near and far vision, are very rare. Even in these cases the treatment can be continued with benefit, for it is impossible to place limits to the visual powers of man, and no matter how good your sight, it is always possible to improve it.
However, if you are like me, and want your health for the LONG-TERM and are not interested in quick solutions that will harm you more later, then I don't know of a better approach.
The daily practice of training is necessary to prevent visual lapses to which every eye is prone, no matter how good your sight may be. No system will provide an absolute safeguard against such lapses in all circumstances. However, the daily reading of small, distant, familiar letters will do much to lessen the tendency to produce eye strain that changed your vision when disturbing life circumstances arise.
Generally, persons who have never worn glasses are more easily improved than those who have, and glasses should be discarded at the beginning of the treatment.
When this cannot be done without too great discomfort, or when you need to continue your work during the treatment and cannot do so without glasses, the use of glasses can be permitted for a time, but this always delays the improvement.
So, if you are unable to make this commitment at this time, then it would likely be best for you to delay this course until you can.
One of the Most Cost-Effective Ways to Improve Your Vision for a LIFETIME!
To me, the Reclaim Your Eyesight Naturally is the best natural, holistic approach to your vision recovery.
What You Get in the Reclaim Your Eyesight Naturally Program:
You'll listen to these CDs over and over. Greg Marsh presents all 64 tracks (over 7 hours total) in a relaxing and compelling way that will help you see better each day. You'll find your entire mind and body relaxing as you absorb the essence of the Bates Method and restore ease and clarity to your eyes.
CD #1 – See with Ease: Recognize strain you've never noticed in your eyes before, and easily let it go. Feel your eyes relaxing as you see more clearly.

62-Page Guidebook: This inspiring booklet is a simple compilation of techniques, with photos and guidelines for how and when to do them. It also includes a great summary of how and why the Bates Method works.
Now you can have the full audio training program for a tiny fraction of what I paid.
You might be wondering why the Bates Method is not more popular and well-known. After all, it helped thousands of people solve their vision problems.
Sadly, it always comes back to the money. That's the main reason why you may have never heard about natural vision improvement.
Because, let's face it -- the big money in the vision care industry is in eyeglasses, contact lenses, and laser eye surgery.
In fact, according to the Vision Council of America in 2005, the vision care industry racked up a whopping $25.7 billion in revenue during a 12-month period -- and I bet the next time they measure, it will be even higher.
But I recommend we stay focused on what works naturally, and not what the vision care industry wants you to believe or spend your hard-earned money on.
Here is a summary of my recommended checklist to help you improve the overall health of your eyesight:
Eat a healthy diet of unprocessed foods rich in omega-3s, lutein, and zeaxanthin
Avoid all trans fat and make sure you get a source of high-quality omega-3 fats
Get plenty of natural sunlight
Take advantage of a natural vision improvement training program
The advantage you have is you can try the Reclaim Your Eyesight Naturally at a lower cost than a new set of glasses or contacts, and certainly far less than LASIK surgery.
You really have nothing to lose. You can try this natural program that worked for me -- and look to shed your own glasses or contacts for good.
So, why not at least check this out for yourself? You have nothing to lose and dramatically improved eyesight to gain.
Think of my story. You can be next natural vision success story!
