Pinhole Glasses; Might Help a Few People Improve Their Vision, But Impairs Vision, Eye Function of MANY People. Best to AVOID![/align]




[align=left]This video describes the effects that Pinhole Glasses have on people that have unclear vision and people that have clear vision.
I prefer students to not wear eyeglasses or pinholes because they are unnatural, cause eye-vision problems. In some ways the pinholes act like eyeglasses and cause uncomfortable feelings, weird visual effects and lower the clarity of vision.
For some people that wear glasses, they find the pinhole glasses are less stressful than eyeglasses.
Glasses contain a prescription causing the eye, eye muscles, brain to become tense, strained and develop-maintain the vision impairment, abnormal refraction that the eyeglass prescription is created for. This is the only way the eyes can see through the glasses; the eyes must maintain the vision problem.
Pinhole glasses do not contain a prescription, so the eyes do not have to maintain an abnormal refraction. In this way pinholes are better than glasses. But; pinholes impair the vision, eyes function in similar ways as eyeglasses and in other ways. They do interfere with normal light refraction, focus and the eyes natural movement.
If you use the pinholes in order to break the addiction to eyeglasses; use them sparingly and temporary. Practice Natural Eyesight Improvement (without pinholes, without glasses) to become permanently free of pinhole glasses and eyeglasses.
See the video and entire description on the website and read Amazon reviews. Read about the difference between large and small hole pinhole glasses and side effects.

This is the first video in a series describing unnatural methods that can impair the eyes health and the vision. In this way I can get the truth out to the public. I cannot do this well on Internet Groups, Amazon discussion boards, Forums due to trolls, abusive people, eyeglass sales people, eye surgeons and competing high priced natural and unnatural eyesight teachers attacking my posts and posting untrue information, harmful practices. One very good teacher became greedy, corrupted by the eyeglass people; he used their advice (2 kinds of unnatural treatments) and started selling them. Now his vision is impaired. He still sells the harmful method-products but does not use them. He is regaining his vision by avoiding the products himself and going back to the true Bates Method. One teacher that sells pinhole glasses on Amazon continually deletes the product, changes the name and then reposts it. This wipes out all the 1 star customer reviews ‘complaints’. She does not like reviews that tell the truth about the product, its side effects.
So you can see how hard it is to keep the truth shining bright on the Internet. It’s a jungle out there, ruled by money, egos and power!
My next video will tell the truth about the harmful cataract, detached retina producing Plus Lens Anti-Corrective Method sold by eyeglass sales people and eye surgeons; They know it leads to advanced eye-vision problems, injury. Then the sales pitch for surgery on the cornea and/or implanted prescriptions in the cornea, eye or lens. (Very destructive practices, they can lead to blindness.) Many people posting unnatural methods on the internet obtain ‘kickbacks’ money for referring people to eyeglass sellers and eye surgeons. Avoid them! I constantly receive threatening emails for these guys when I post the truth on the internet forums, groups.

Go natural; practice the TRUE ORIGINAL and MODERN, SAFE, HEALTHY Bates Method of Natural Eyesight Improvement.


The Spiritual Life - How We See in the Spirit World

Mental and emotional effects on the health ‘condition’ of the SPRIT during life and after death. These pictures are from the book ‘Thirty Years Among the Dead’ by Carl A. Wickland. Partial pages from the book show contact of a psychic with ghost, a spirit that died at sea, the sinking of the Lusitania. Many were from high society. Habits of wrong ways of thinking, feeling. Other sprits are from the Titanic.
The emotions, way of thinking remains with the person after death. The spirit is trapped in the lower afterlife. Spirit learns to think differently, love attains happiness. Is then able to travel to the higher spiritual world. In the lower spiritual world the spirits see mainly darkness. As the spirit learns his/her condition and changes their way of thinking, they move into the light, they see light, clear vision ‘eyesight’ occurs in the spiritual world.
Most of the things I write about are about eyesight improvement. I will try to write about the other things that pertain to overall well being, good health and clear eyesight.

The mind can affect the sprit, body and the mind itself. It can surely affect the eyes, the clarity of sight.


[size=medium How Emotions, Thoughts Effect Eyesight[/size]

True story’s about people I have met. Writing a few different subjects not always pertaining to eyesight.

Here’s one from Dr. Bates, Emily Lierman, with some extra articles tossed in;

Doctors are needed all over the world to cure people without glasses

BETTER EYESIGHT

A MONTHLY MAGAZINE DEVOTED TO THE PREVENTION AND CURE OF IMPERFECT SIGHT WITHOUT GLASSES

May, 1922

RELAXATION FROM FINE PRINT

+ A BUSINESS card, 3" x 2" with fine print on one side is held in front of the eyes as near as possible, the upper part in contact with the eyebrows, the lower part resting lightly on the nose.
+ The patient looks directly at the fine print without trying to see. Being so close to the eyes most people realize that it is impossible to read the fine print and do not try, in this way they obtain a measure of relaxation which is sufficient to benefit the sight very much.
+ The patient moves the card from side to side a short distance slowly and sees the card moving provided the movement is not too short or too slow. The shorter the movement and the slower it is, the better.
+ Some patients, although the card is held very close, note that the white spaces between the lines become whiter and the black letters become blacker and clearer. In some cases one or more words of the fine print will be seen in flashes or even continuously as long as no effort is made to see or to read the fine print.
+ This movement of the card should be kept up to obtain the best results, for many hours every day. The hand which holds the card may soon become fatigued; one may then use the hands alternately. Some patients vary this by holding the card with both hands at the same time. (This does not need to be done for many hours a day. Just a few minutes is beneficial.)
The amount of light is not important.

SOME COLORED PATIENTS AT THE CLINIC

By Emily C. Lierman
(Colored = Modern = Black, African American)
One of slavery's obscure brutalities sent a pitiable patient more than half a century later to the great metropolitan clinic where the new science of the eye is relieving scores each week. Read this little document of human pain, and human helpfulness, and realize the wealth of fine accomplishment that the ministrations of those devoted to the cause of better eyesight have before them.
FREQUENTLY colored people have difficulty in remembering their ages, especially when they are middle aged or older. But just now we have a colored woman who does not know where she was born. The nurse was making a record of her age, name and address and then asked her where she was born.
"Ah dun know where ah was horn. How should ah know? It am so long ago—anyway it was a very hot place, dats what ah knows."
Her eyes do not trouble her for reading for she does not know how to read. But she complains that her eyes burn like fire and that she cannot see at a distance. Palming helps her. and the sun treatment relieves the burning of her eyes instantly.
An old fashioned mammy negro, age 72. who has been coming to us for about one year is being treated for cataract in both her eyes. When she first came she was fully convinced that we could help her so that she would not need an operation. She was employed by a former patient who was cured by Dr. Bates. At first she could just make out the seventy-line at ten feet with each eye. The first treatment improved her vision to 10/40. She was told to do a great deal of palming and swinging every day and now she reads 12/20.
Incidentally I can prove that eye strain caused her cataracts, for one day she was sufficiently relaxed to read some of the letters on the bottom line of the card, 12/10, temporarily.

Sadness Brings Its Strain


And another day she came and I knew she was in trouble of some kind. I love to talk to her because she is so clean and neatly dressed, although very poor. Her manner is so apologetic and she is extremely grateful for the benefit she receives. This day, however, I noticed her eyes were swollen from weeping. She was eager to please me and started to read the card without success. She turned toward me and said. "Mam, I cannot read. The card is all blurred, I cannot see one letter clearly." Then she began to cry softly and told me her trouble.
"Many nights I have not slept," she said, "because my son was sent to prison. He is not bad but he did get into mischief."
She loves her boy very much but she did not tell me the nature of his trouble. But, oh, how she strained and suffered for him! I wish I could have told her boy all about it. I think he would have been sorry. I comforted her while she palmed and reminded her that everything might be so much worse. I observed that she was under a terrible tension all the while she palmed, but after awhile as she became more calm, I saw her relax. As she again removed her hands from her eyes to read the card, she exclaimed with relief:
"My, how the letters clear up! What did you do to me? I feel so much better now."
I told her that she did it all herself. The poor woman had strained so much that it made her cataracts worse.
My mind was greatly relieved because her vision had cleared up. She comes with a smile now almost every clinic day and she is eager to read 10/10 with each eye permanently and I am striving to help her do it.
Another old mammy who remembers the Civil War very well but does not know when she was born, also suffered from cataract in both eyes. Her condition was so bad in the beginning that she could not see anything on the test card at three feet. When she was instructed to palm she looked around the room observing several patients who were also palming and then remarked:
"Good lor, mam, dis here room looks like a prayer meetin' and beleeb me ahs ready to join in too."
She had the saddest looking pair of eyes I ever saw in a negro and even as she smiled she looked sad. I found out after we got acquainted with each other, the real reason for her look of sadness. The story she told me was almost unbelievable but I will tell the readers just what she told me.
First I would like to say that her vision improved at the first visit so that she read 12/200 and in flashes read 12/100. This amused as well as pleased her, and she would have it that palming alone did not improve her vision but that I must have done something mysterious to her while she had her eyes closed which caused this wonderful miracle. No amount of explaining to her that day would make her understand that the eyestrain which caused the cataract was lessened by palming. Every clinic day she was there and her vision at the present time is 12/30. She has been coming to us about one year. Now for her story.

A Tragedy of the Past

"You know mam, a long time ago ah had a master an he was good and kind. Den came a new master an he was bad to de help. Dey was twenty of us in help and we did work on de plantation. After awhile ah was sick an was becomin' weary 'cause a li'l stranger was on de way. De sun was hot in de fields, mam, an' mah back was ackin' powerful bad. De old master would sure hab sent me to bed but de new one he jes tells me to get a move on. One day when all felt so bad an hungry dat ah falls down on mah knees. Ah jes couldn't get up. De master beat me wid a lash right before de oder niggers to teach dem a lesson an said ah was only lazy. When mah little boy was born he did hab de stripes oh de lash on his hack de same as was on mah own back. One night ah ran away with mah baby and dis was jes before de niggers were freed by Lincoln."
She looks very old and I should judge, as does Dr. Bates, that she is about eighty years of age. It is remarkable what a good memory she has. I have asked her several questions on different days to confuse her or to test her but she has always been correct in her answers.
The strain of squint, especially in children, has a great deal to do with their disobedience. I feel quite sure of that because I know of several clinic patients who, after they were cured, became manageable and less nervous. The change was so great in their conduct both in school and in their homes, that mothers and teachers would come and tell me about it.
Some time ago in one of our back numbers of Better Eyesight I wrote about a little colored boy named Frisco who suffered from squint in one eye. His poor mother could not live with him, he was so bad. His brothers and sisters continually punished him for the terrible tricks he played on them all. He was finally taken care of by his grandmother who did the very best she knew for his welfare.
She heard of Dr. Bates and our clinic so she came with him, for treatment. Before I had a chance to speak to him, his grandmother told me that she was afraid he was hopeless and that I might not be able to do anything with him for he was never still a minute.
She was anxious to have his eye straightened even though he was a naughty boy. I spoke to him and the only answer he gave me was "I don't want to! I won't!" I ignored his remarks and just said, "All right, you don't need to."
Strain and Behavior
His grandmother frowned and said she was so sorry he was a bad boy. I paid no attention to him for some time and fortunately there was a little girl in the room being treated for squint so I let him watch the little girl and me. For his benefit I said to the little girl. "You don't want a bad eye, do you? You want two good eyes, don't you? Your good eye is doing all the work; just make your bad eye do some of the work and you will soon have two good eyes instead of one."
When I was ready to treat Frisco he asked with his head and shoulders straight. "Have I got a bad eye? Won't you show me how to make the bad eye do some work?"
"Why of course I will show you," I told him. As I explained in the article I wrote about him, he became a very willing patient then and with his dear grandmother's help at home, Frisco was absolutely cured in six months.
Several months after he was cured I noticed one clinic day a colored woman standing in line smiling pleasantly and when I asked what her trouble was she answered, "Nothing at all, nurse, I just came to tell you that Frisco has returned home to his mother. He is the best behaved of all his family and he receives the highest marks from his school teacher for his studies. He shows no more symptoms of nervousness and plays no more tricks."
This squint case was so bad that one could see only the white of the left eye. Palming, swinging and alternately opening and closing his eyes many times every day, cured this boy.

THE OPTICAL SWING
By W. H. Bates, M. D.

For thousands of years mankind, both lay and professional, has overlooked a seemingly minute but vitally important phenomenon of the human system—the eye's normal inability to see a stationary object. Of the result in the science of the eye of the final observation of this vital matter, Dr. Bates tells in part in this article.
IN this magazine, and in other publications, I have quite frequently written about the swing. The matter is so important that I feel that it should be described and recommended more frequently. The benefits which come from the optical swing are far-reaching and of greater importance, I find at the present time, than I realized even six months or a year ago.
When a person of normal sight regards one letter of the Snellen test card with normal vision, the letter appears to move about a quarter of an inch or less from side to side, continuously and slowly, a little more rapidly than a movement each second. This is what I call the optical swing.
For many thousands of years people of normal sight have regarded small and large objects which were stationary and imagined that they saw them stationary. It can be demonstrated that when the normal eye imagines a letter, or a part of a letter, stationary, that the letter becomes very soon imperfect. Furthermore, the letter has a jerky movement, irregular, and variable, demonstrating that it is impossible by any kind of an effort to keep or imagine a letter stationary for any length of time.

Literal Concentration Impossible

With the eyes closed most persons can remember or imagine a letter O with a white center, as white as they like—as white as snow. They can imagine a little black period on one edge of the O and keep their attention fixed on the black period for a few seconds, or part of a minute. Sooner or later, however, they note that the period moves and defies all efforts to keep it stationary; and that every once in a while the period is lost altogether. The imagination of the period fails from the strain. Most patients also note that they lose the O and have to bring it back again. To concentrate on one point of the letter O is impossible for any length of time.
The dictionary defines "Concentration" as an effort to see one thing only, or to do one thing only. I have never met any person who was able to concentrate on a point for any length of time. Concentration is impossible. Trying to do the impossible is a strain; which is the main cause of imperfect sight. For we find that all persons with imperfect sight try to concentrate—try to imagine things stationary. It is much easier and better to let the eyes shift from one point to another than to remember or imagine imperfect sight. To stare, strain or try to concentrate is an effort which is followed by not only imperfect sight, but symptoms of discomfort, pain and fatigue.
When one can imagine the letter O of fine print moving from side to side, it is possible to imagine that the card on which the O is printed is also moving from side to side, with the same speed and in the same direction; the hand which holds the card moves; the card and everything on it, including the letter O. When the card moves and the letter O moves, one can imagine the hand moves, the wrist, the arm, the whole body, in short, moving with the O. If we imagine the O printed on the arm of the chair, when the O moves the chair moves. When the chair moves the floor moves; when the floor moves one can imagine the whole room and the objects in the room in turn to be swinging. All objects seen, remembered or imagined move with the letter.

The Universal Swing

This I call the universal swing, for one letter, or one object, cannot move without the imagination of all other objects moving at the same time. When the universal swing is imagined and one object is consciously imagined to be stationary, the universal swing stops, because it is impossible to imagine one object moving and other objects stationary when they are all connected.
A great many people have told me that they could imagine the letters on the Snellen test card to be moving and the card stationary. To do this requires a strain and, when we analyze the facts, to imagine letters moving and the card stationary, it is necessary to separate the letters from the card. There are an infinite number of ways of doing it wrong, or of imagining the swing under a strain. To imagine a letter suspended and swinging, one part more than another, requires an effort or strain. Some patients have a great facility for doing things wrong, and sometimes my ingenuity is taxed to the utmost to get them back to the right way. Some cases have required many days, weeks, of conversation, before they became able to practice the optical swing in the normal or proper way. It is well to repeatedly call the attention of such people to the fact that the optical swing is an evidence of relaxation, a phenomenon which is always present in normal sight, and that in all eases of imperfect sight the normal optical swing is modified or lost.
All parts of an object, all objects: the entire visual field moves in the opposite direction the eyes, head move to.

The Swing and Memory

Over and over again I have taught people to demonstrate that, when they had a perfect memory of some letter or other object, they could not retain the perfect memory if they tried to imagine things stationary. Patients who were near-sighted, myopic, who were able to read fine print at a near point with good vision, were able to demonstrate that trying to imagine letters stationary made their vision at a near point very poor. By suggesting to them the possibility of imagining the swing at a distance or, when regarding the Snellen test card as well as they could imagine the optical swing of letters at the near point, much benefit usually followed.
About a year ago a patient was brought to me, a young girl aged ten years, with considerable compound myopic—or short-sighted—astigmatism. She was unable to see the large letter on the Snellen test card more than three or four feet away with either eye. This child read fine print with normal vision. She demonstrated that she could not imagine small letters stationary and see them perfectly. When she imagined a letter was moving from side to side, not any wider than the width of the letter, her vision was continuously good, or improved. With her eyes closed the memory of the letter with its swing was not quite as good as when she regarded the letter. When she looked at the Snellen test card at fifteen feet, her memory of the letter with its optical swing was gone.
I had her practice for a while looking at the small letters with fine print at a near point, imagining one at a time with a slow, short, easy swing, and then looking at the Snellen test card for a moment only—less than a fraction of a second. This practice was followed at once by improvement and she was directed to continue the practice at her home; first to regard the same letter of fine print at the near point and imagine it moving, and to do this for a minute or longer and then look at the Snellen test card for not longer than one second.
After three days the child came in and read the whole card with normal sight with each eye. I was very much surprised and I said to the mother. How did this happen?"

[bPractice Brings Cure[/b]

"Oh," she said, "the child is practicing it all the time; she is practicing it at her meals, is practicing it all day long, even when she is in bed; the first thing in the morning, as soon as she opens her eyes, she gets busy."
The optical swing was a cure; not only were her eyes cured, but the mother told me that a great many functional derangements were also relieved. The mother became interested in the cure of her child and asked for treatment of her own eyes for hypermetropia, astigmatism and presbyopia. She was as enthusiastic as the child and was cured in two visits. She became my friend.

NOTES OF THE LEAGUE

THE first regular monthly meeting of the Better Eyesight League was held the afternoon of April 12th at 300 Madison Avenue, New York City. Mr. Ross Varney presided in the unavoidable absence of the presiding officer.
The Secretary's report showed that the names of 500 prospective members had been sent into the League by charter members since the organization meeting held March 8th. Dues received, according to the Treasurer's report amounted to $147.
The meeting was thrown open to suggestions regarding lines of immediate activity for the League. Many phases of activity were discussed, among them work to preserve the sight of factory and shop workers, educational work for school children, educational work among college students and among teachers, and the preparation of educational and expository publicity matter.
The members present agreed to use such educational literature in their own correspondence; and measures for acquainting prospective members of the League with its purposes and with the whole subject of the new ophthalmology were discussed in detail.
The enthusiasm and interest in the work of the League that has become manifest was strikingly shown in the volunteering of a number of those present to address noon hour meetings at factories, explaining to factory workers the menace to the eyes of too close industrial application unless the new scientific measures of prevention are understood and practiced.
A number of other suggestions, all apropos and practical, were made and discussed. It was eventually moved and seconded that Mrs. Mable Potter Daggett, a Director of the League, be authorized to draw up an outline of a publicity leaflet to be printed by the League and furnished to all its members for use in correspondence.
All the suggestions offered and discussed were referred by the meeting to the Board of Directors, and it was further voted that the Directors should work out and present to the second monthly meeting of the League a complete plan of operation to cover activities throughout the remainder of 1922.
THE second monthly meeting of the League will be held in Room 504, 300 Madison Avenue, New York City, at 4 P. M., May 10th. Every member, it is desired, will be there and will bring a prospective member also.
The directors will present there their plan of operation for the balance of 1922. The Secretary will report the progress made in obtaining new members.
Every effort will be made to have this second meeting mark a new record of enthusiasm and practical application to the great cause of better eyesight.

Eye Pupil Size, Light Effect on Brightness, Color Level of Vision

Try this experiment;

Sit in a room with normal lighting. Does not have to be bright light.
Cover one eye for about 20 seconds. Sit near the sun so it shines on the other eye.
Notice the brightness of the visual field and level, intensity of color with the uncovered eye.
Now cover that eye and uncover the eye that was covered for 20 seconds.
Notice the eye that was covered for 20 seconds shows brighter vision; more light and color.
After a few seconds it will show the same level as the other eye did.
This is the effect of the eyes pupil reacting to light, dark.
When the pupil is covered or in low light, darkness; it becomes larger. This lets in more light, thus more brightness, color when its uncovered.
When the eye is in bright light; the color, brightness of objects, light is lower due to the pupil being smaller, allowing in less light.
The eyes, brain allow the correct amount of light to enter the eyes for each level of light, the pupil size changing for each condition.

Alternating back and forth from palming to sunning, sunning to palming as described by Ophthalmologist Bates improves the eyes adjustment to light, dark.
The ciliary muscle changes the shape of the lens. The eye changes shape, working with the outer eye muscles, with the ciliary/lens when adjusting the refraction of the eyes light rays for close and far vision 'accommodation, un-accommodation. Convergence, divergence also occurs in sync with this process. The ciliary muscle, zonules are connected to the ciliary process-body which is related to, can affect the iris-pupil muscle. Improving function of the pupil, light-dark adjustment, light tolerance also improves other functions of the eye. With use of more Bates Method practices, all functions of the eyes, muscles, brain/visual system are perfected and eyesight is clear.

Sunglasses, eyeglasses, uv blocking glasses, even plain glass windows, tinted windows impair the eye, pupil’s natural function. They imbalance the suns light spectrum and make artificial indoor light even more imbalanced, unhealthy. Contact lenses completely seal over the cornea, pupil blocking all natural FULL SPECTRUM sunlight. The eye needs natural light. The light travels into the eyes, brain, spine, body, all organs, glands, systems maintaining perfect health.
Eye infections, red inflamed eyes is often due to lack of sunlight. Sunlight kills germs.

One day when I was sick, laying in bed with a blanket over one eye I noticed a difference in the level of light, color in each eye. I got scared, worrying something was wrong. Searched for this in a Ophthalmology book. It's normal; the pupil 'pinhole' effect. The blanket was blocking light, making one eyes pupil larger. (Experiment also works by sitting sideways by a open window with the one eye to the sunlight and the other eye inside, away from the sunlight.)

Avoid contact lenses. Become free of eyeglasses.

The Gerson Miracle - True Healthy, Natural Lifestyle and Cures Hidden From The Public;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbIixJI_o...079AEC2489

Lets start a discussion on Natural Health Practice for healthy eyes, maintaining clear eyesight into and past the senior years. Food, water, air, chemicals in the environment, in soaps.., lifestyle.
In this video the man says "in the old days before we cut down many tress, a tree squirrel could travel along the tops of the trees across the united states".
The scientist notices that plant chemistry... changes when grown in soil that is contaminated with pesticides and other unnatural substances. This changes our chemistry, DNA and other functions.
In the old days people lived longer. News, doctors tell us that in the past it was rare for people to live over 100, but if you do some research, in all countries, not just the U.S. you will find people in the U.S. and other countries living far past 100 years, in the past and today.
In my hometown of Brookfield, MA the Gadaire and Bernie family are just a few of the people that live over 100 years. Mrs. Christina Bernie of Kimball Street lived to 105. Named after the day of Christmas, she was born on Dec. 25th. She took a plane to Florida on vacation all by herself over 100 years old. She played the piano with her pet parrot 'Polly' daily, signing to high heaven. Her dog, a Dalmatian named Freckles was a true blue companion and protector. She had heart; when a dog (Arnie) in the neighborhood caught distemper and was dying a slow agonizing death; she brought the animal into her home, cared for it, helping to ease it's fear as the dog passed to the other world. I remember visiting her one day and seeing Arnie crying, shaking, the disease stiffening, torturing his body. I pet him, though was afraid of catching the disease. We put him to sleep.
The world need the good guys. I often think some people live long due to karma, their temperament. The earth needs them here. Other times the good are taken early. A new mission for the sprit?
A happy environment, a purpose in life, to enjoy life as adults and as we did as children. These things relax the mind and the relaxed mind brings clear eyesight.
The water, air and food were pure in past generations. Lifestyle was different. Why did these people live so long and healthy, HAPPILY?

Chemicals in household products, soaps... also affect the health; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K99CmLp1Qsg


Eyes, Eyesight Improvement, Anatomy.., Ophthalmology, Optics History


Here's the first one. It's old, out of date, has a few incorrect things but the majority is worth watching. Figure we can post videos and discuss what is the Bates Method, what are the old and new views of Dr. Bates Method and other Ophthalmologists.

I asked the YouTube channel creator to seek for and post videos they may find by Ophthalmologist William H. Bates and Emily A. Bates, C. Leirman. Let’s keep a watch for this and other videos. Someone must have recorded a movie of Dr. Bates, Emily, Optometrist Harold Peppard... at some time before 1919, to 1930 and after 1931. Post them free on YouTube before some arrogant power hungry teacher, doctor finds it and charges a high price or just hides it away.

Old Fashioned Eye Doctor's Eye-Vision Exam Vs. Modern Exams

Stress, incorrect posture, restricted movement of the body, neck, head and eyes lowers the vision.
In the old days an eye exam might cause some stress, (worrying about the outcome, pressure to hurry when reading the eyechart) but we were allowed free use, movement of the eyes, head and body... by looking at a paper chart hung on a distant wall to test far vision and a paper chart up close to test reading, close vision.
Now in modern times most all doctors force us to look into a machine to test the vision. The eyechart in the machine only simulates far and close distances. It is not the true, perfect distance, depth, true 3-D. This prevents perfect normal, natural use of the eyes-vision. The machines also disrupt our posture and limit movement of the eyes, head, neck, body. This also lowers vision.
The eyes can experience an occasional bit of astigmatism that goes away quickly and is never even noticed. The new machines detect the tiniest amount of imperfect refraction of light rays, even though this is temporary and is often caused, increased, maintained during/by the eye exam and machine. The doctor will use this as a legal excuse to prescribe an eyeglass prescription that is not necessary and is too strong. The prescription will maintain and increase the imperfect refraction, cause progressively impaired vision and an addiction to stronger and stronger eyeglasses. Astigmatism is maintained, increased. As time passes advanced eye-vision problems occur resulting in the 'sales pitch' for lasik on the cornea, cataract surgery, other eye surgeries, sale of eye drops, drugs...
What type of (human?) sprits are on this planet-in the business of causing blindness? Are optometrists (and some unnatural vision teachers)... getting $ kickbacks from eye surgeons when they send the surgeon a patient for surgery after years of selling them stronger and stronger glasses? Kickbacks also for life long monthly prescription refills for eye drops and other ‘kits’ needed due to side effects of lasik. Note the amount of lasik advertisements in your Optometrist's office.

Read 'Restoring Your Eyesight by Doug Marsh' for more information on how the eye exam results in eyeglasses that are 2-3 times over prescribed, too strong and often prescribed when no prescription is needed; http://www.amazon.com/Restoring-Your-Eye...r+eyesight Eye drops; toxic.

Lasik Surgery - The Hidden Side Effects, Doctor's Profit, Patient Loses


As the years have passed after cornea surgery (lasik and other forms of altering the cornea) was invented and mass marketed to the public;

Initial price was about two thousand dollars per eye. As time passed and people realized their eyesight and eyes health became impaired due to the surgery, the price went down to about $200.00 - $300.00 per eye. The surgery has become more and more unpopular as the public learns the truth. As the price goes down we wonder; why is this eye-life damaging surgery still being done pushed on people? Most Ophthalmologists, Ophthalmologist offices have advertisements for Lasik. My doctor has pamphlets, flyers in every room in the office, waiting room and even on the forms we are to read, sign.
Turns out that the cornea surgery not only ruins the vision, it also causes many other eye problems;
Pain = lifelong sales of drugs for the pain.
Dry eye, lasik impairs natural tear production. The nerves in the cornea are now impaired and cannot send correct signals to the brain so it can activate the tear glad to produce tears when needed. Other result soft h surgery also block natural tears = lifelong sales of eye drops and all the other 'stuff' that goes with the eye drops kit.
Nutrient flow impaired = circulation of nutrients, fluids... to/in the cornea and possibly part of the eye are impaired = sales of supplements, other drops.., treatments, drugs.
Eyeglasses = The person is stuck with the lasik prescription etched in the cornea, cannot remove it. It's like wearing glasses 24 hours, day and night. Causes addiction to a prescription. Stronger and stronger glasses are soon prescribed. On top of this; usually glasses are needed for the distance the lasik was not applied for. Soon glasses for all distances are prescribed.
Surgery sales = More surgery as the cornea develops waves, tears, astigmatism... as the glasses and the surgery itself impairs the eye, cornea's shape, health, vision.
Sunglasses = the surgery destroys the corneas natural tolerance to, absorption of sunlight and natural refraction of light. Eyeglasses, sunglasses cause the light to be imbalanced, unhealthy.
The eyes health and vision declines. Soon the natural tolerance to even indoor light is impaired.
Other eye conditions = People report cataract, glare, impaired night vision, other eye problems after the cornea surgery. All eyeglass prescriptions including surgically created lead to cataract, detached retina, glaucoma, other eye-vision problems.

See here for a list of cornea surgery side effects;

http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/P...332713.htm
http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Produc...efault.htm

Search the FDA for more articles. There are a few website support groups for patients that have been harmed by Lasik. Here's a Natural Vision teacher's information;
http://www.naturalvisioncenter.com/Other.html

Then why is Lasik still heavily advertised? Why are people still buying it?

The doctors lie to their patients, corrupt politician-lawyer type 'fancy alter-evade the issues' speech. Many people won't believe the truth, they stay with the doctors opinion only. Aldous Huxley says the optical industry, eye doctors really don't worry about Natural Eyesight Improvement being taught to the public because most people will not put the work into learning, practicing it. They want instant results; thus eyeglasses, surgery and other unnatural treatment sales continue. Huxley stated the eye doctors will lose only about 10% of sales to the natural teachers. As the years passed and natural medicine became more popular the public has moved toward the natural teachers, a lot more people are improving their vision and health naturally.
I hope people searching the Internet, wondering if they should choose Lasik or Natural Eyesight Improvement will watch this video;

This video tells the entire truth; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXzqwzQo0Oc
(Ignore ads YouTube places on them. Some people selling eye surgery have downloaded this video, then re-uploaded with an ad for implanted lenses, surgery... attached. Sneaky eye surgeons! This video has been reposted with the original person's Channel.) I have also saved all the original lasik, contact lenses side effects warning videos to my computer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmtYivWUH7I Notice the FDA's video still says some good things about Lasik while also telling you about the many dangers. They seem to be trying to support the doctors, the drug companies even though they know that Lasik is destroying thousands of people’s vision.

Here’s videos listing side effects of contact lenses, more lasik. Move down the page; http://cleareyesight-batesmethod.info/id117.html

If no one else adds to this, I will place all in the future when I have the time. It’s interesting and dives deep into the mind of the great doctor.
Missing is his time of birth by the hour, minute. This results in the moon, rising sign and other aspects… being imperfect. People familiar with Dr. Bates work may want to go onto the astrology webpage and other sites to test different birth times; Start by each hour. Then if you want to do advanced work, go by the minutes… See if any traits for the eye profession, truth, research, discoveries, publishing, writing, kindness, humanity, memory… are present. Sort it down to 1-3 times, maybe even find the exact time of birth. Look for danger of being attacked by other surgeons, dishonest people, big business, powerful corrupt organizations.

This idea was suggested to me by an astrologer in Milan Italy (R. Giovanni). He may be creating a booklet with Dr. Bates entire Horoscope Chart.


Improve Your Accommodation, Convergence, Un-Accommodation, Un-Convergence (Divergence) For Faster, Easy Vision Improvement


This video shows a simple Natural Vision Improvement exercise that brings clear eyesight at all Distances. Looking at objects at different distances, switching the attention back and forth is an old time effective practice taught by many eyesight teachers, Behavioral Optometrists. Some teachers state it is a exercise so is not truly the Bates Method but; if you search in Dr. Bates Better Eyesight Magazines you will find him and his assistant Emily Lierman teaching people to look at close and far eye charts or look at a close object, then out a window to a far object beyond it, or from a close fine print card to a far object. This along with a few other beginner practices (shifting, central-fixation, palming...) speeds vision improvement making it easier to apply all parts of the method, achieve clear eyesight.
The practice shown in the video incorporates the Bates method by also teaching the person to ‘shift’, 'look from part to part' on the object they are looking at. Many teachers, doctors forget or do not know, were never trained to add this important practice. When you look at the close object; shift on it. When you look at the far object; shift on it. Spend as much time as you like; a couple seconds looking at an object, or shift on more parts, investigate, let your attention travel upon the object for a longer time.
Relax, blink, take a few deep relaxing breaths. Yawn and stretch, relax the neck, shoulders, head muscles. Relaxation travels into the eye muscles, eyes.

Bead (Brock) String. For perfect eye movement, clear eyesight at all distances; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VULxwponv0
Helpful for correcting crossed, wandering eyes 'strabismus'. Do it relaxed, avoid tension, immobility.
If you have strabismus, don't worry if it's uncomfortable at first. Ease though it. It can make you feel like riding over a bump ^ on a old street when the lazy eye tries to move correct. Your head, balance might feel weird while moving the visual attention close and far on the beads. This is due to eye muscle tension. It’s a tense muscle or muscles and eye-vision-balance system correcting itself. With practice the muscle, muscles will relax and move easy, the eye will move correct with no uncomfortable feelings. This same feeling, ‘realignment’ of the eye muscles occurs when clearing away astigmatism. Avoid fear. Fear holds you back. Stay positive, relax and glide ‘float’ through the practices nice and easy. No force. Take a break, go slower, little at a time if needed.


A Simple Natural Cure For Blindness, Bleeding in the Retina

DON’T WEAR GLASSES, CONTACTS! AVOID ELECTIVE CORNEA SURGERY!

A young lady called me on the phone over a year ago. She had been contacting Natural Vision Teachers for help with an eye condition called CSR. (Central serous retinopathy) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_serous_retinopathy

The condition occurred on and off for some time. Then it progressed, she had lost almost 90% sight in one eye and the other eye was about 50% sight with the rest of the sight in the eyes 50% blurred. Areas of her field were patchy; some with vision, others with no vision.
She had worn reading glasses (plus lenses, magnifiers) for 20 years. Stronger and stronger lenses as time passed. She has a nervous temperament due to unfortunate experiences in life, many duties, and this may have caused the initial slight blur years ago that lead to the first pair of glasses. The Ophthalmologist had recently given her another stronger prescription and told her to keep wearing the glasses. He told her to wait for a certain level of further impairment of the CSR condition. Then he would do an operation to seal the leaking blood vessels in the retina. The lady had also developed the habit of reading with a magnifying glass.
None of the Natural Vision teachers she contacted (some famous) would help her unless she paid money. One teacher wanted $80.00 hour. Another charges about $150.00 hr.
The patient is a working mother. Lost her job due to the condition and could not afford to pay for Natural Vision lessons.
As true Bates Method practitioners know; eyeglasses, especially as they become stronger cause injury to the eyes health; often the retina, lens, cornea and the circulation, optic nerve.
The Natural Vision teachers and the eye doctor never told her the simple things to help reverse the eye condition; to stop wearing glasses. To learn to relax and to shift, use central-fixation and to avoid effort to see, avoid squinting, staring.
I taught her these basic practices in only about 30 minutes. She took the advice and stopped wearing the glasses. She does not like to practice any of the Bates Method but I was able to get her to palm and shift and understand central-fixation. We also discovered that a homeopathy doctor was giving her some very toxic herbs, a variety, many all mixed together. One causes high pressure in the eyes and impairs circulation. Many other side effects. This lady is in her early 30's and as I was myself when young, she believed in every natural doctor, listening to their every word wide-eyed and trusting. It took a while to completely convince her to stop all the herbal stuff but she eventually quit the main ones that were causing health problems.
Then I did not hear from her for about 3 months. She called one day and told me she had stayed away from the glasses completely and her vision had returned almost 100%!
She had a lot of blur but could get around, the main thing was fixed; step #1; the blindness was gone and her eye doctor said the CSR had healed so the operation was dropped. He warned that CSR can heal on its own and return.
As more time passed the blur cleared to about 20/40-20/50. She still had some trouble reading up close. I did not hear from her for a about 5 months. Then I had a 'feeling' to call her. I did and she said the CSR had returned but not much. I asked if she had gone back to glasses? She said no but stated she had been using a strong magnifying glass often to read with. I described to her how a magnifying glass is like eyeglasses (+ plus lenses) and can cause the same eye-vision problems that the glasses caused.
She stopped using the magnifying glass. Contacted me a couple months ago; CSR healed again.
Only problem is she hates having blurry close vision. It's hard to get her to practice the Bates Method. She is very busy. If she would practice it more I am sure the close vision would reach complete clarity and there will be no temptation to use the magnifier.

I have had some students that tell me they are not wearing eyeglasses but I then find out later they are sneaking use of glasses. This prevents improvement.
Weaker reduced 20/40 temporary eyeglass prescriptions can be used when there is no advanced blur, no eye health problems (if needed for safe driving, work…) but 20/20 and stronger glasses will prevent improvement and lead to increased eye health impairment, vision impairment.
In this lady's case ABSOLUTELY NO GLASSES had to be the rule. It saved her eyesight. She is a sweet person, her family loves and needs her and she deserves to be happy.
I have her e-mails stating this experience but she strongly dislikes speaking of the condition. I have met a lot of people like this; having to talk or write about their condition brings back the unhappy memories and often the intense fear, anxiety, depression. I understand and respect this.

I am asking students, (many now teachers) to tell their stories. New student; Story is amazing! From -4 to throwing away his glasses and getting more and more perfect clear flashes in less than a month. He learns fast, practices the training and I know he will be a great teacher.

A Jewish man was 80% blind in one eye, 100% the other. He cured himself with the Bates Method. Cured his lady friend who had a similar condition. Main treatment; sunlight and no glasses .

Another case of glaucoma, cataract, retina blindness, advanced myopia, turned into also farsight; cured by the Bates Method, avoiding glasses.
Then relapse after returning to stronger -10 glasses after eye doctor’s advice. Saw big flashing blue… lights, bouts of blindness couple times and doctor just increased the eyeglass prescription strength, told him to keep wearing the glasses. Blood vessel in retina burst, black cataract in both eyes, glaucoma returned. Had to have retina surgery. Now afraid of doctors, won’t get the cataracts removed. He is beginning to recover, was seeing some light but now nothing. Much problem with memory, imagination.
In this case I wish he would get the cataract operations and opt for a natural bendable human donor lens replacement if insurance covers it. He’s in senior years so…
He’s a Mormon from Utah. Taught me an organic sea salt and water cure from the bible that greatly helped my neck injury heal. Another simple cure that medical doctors don't want you to know about. What is the first thing they give you in the hospital; saline (salt) IV. Then they tell you to avoid salt.


[i](A eyesight forum owner talked natural vision teachers, including me into signing over blog articles we write on his blog to him. This takes away our right as authors, teachers. Then we find out he's altering them. I have removed my articles from his forum and posing all here from this date onward. This way I can be sure they are not altered.
Be aware that my posts on other person’s forums, groups might be altered by the owners without my permission.
I am trying to move all here but it's about 1500 posts since 2008 so I'm not sure if that will ever get done. All the posts are derived from my books, Dr. Bates books, magazines, my website so it’s really just a repost to people asking for eyesight help on those other forums.
