@Bob. Hi bob, I didn’t give much advice, but I did recommend a look into Dr. Bates’ research regarding the eyes and unnatural habits that reinforce -muscular- problems (related to stress and habit) that develop into myopia and hypermetropia (as well as astigmatism and other muscle-related issues). I really wish you hadn’t assumed that I know nothing about how the eyes work. The “tiny” muscles that you speak of, contort the way your eye is shaped (elongating them and foreshortening them) so that you can focus on different distances. Our eyes don’t naturally gravitate towards a dysfunction like myopia because they are the “wrong” shape or “don’t” function. They are functioning incorrectly through poor habits like staring at fixed distances repeatedly. The eye muscles are not designed to be in a rest state, they are designed to be in constant motion.
Glasses cause your eye to have an “adjusted” rest state, that is, constantly foreshortened or elongated to adjust to the new focal point of the “assisting” lens. Glasses force your eyes into a non-normal state permanently, while wearing glasses, causing the muscles to seize into a new “rest” position.
I experimented myself by removing my glasses for two weeks, using them only to drive. At the end of those two weeks, I found my eyes felt much better, and I could see further away than before. My eyes muscles were beginning to relax from their altered state, allowing them to function properly and begin the relaxation process.

Just like most of “medicine”, fixing the symptom of poor eyesight by placing an unnatural lens in front of your eyes is not a “physical” change. It is an abnormal, superficial adjustment to the way your eyes are supposed to work.

I studied for over 30hrs (actual study hours) on eyesight and not just how to “heal” (really, relax) them, but how they function.

You, Bob, should really learn how to begin a discussion with someone, rather than just assume they are wrong because of your current belief system. You don’t know me or what I’ve learned, so who are you to give advice to me as well? Kind of hypocritical to attack me for “giving advice”. This gal is on the right track because it appears she will actually go out and look into something, because how else would she have learned (or cared?) about monsanto, GMO’s, Microwaves, and synthetic products that shouldn’t be rubbed into the skin? You’re not protecting the world by accusing me of being un-researched, let people take the information that’s being offered them and process it themselves. Why don’t you go look into Dr. Bates’ research? Check out one of Dr. Quackenbush’s books or compilations of his works. Go look into the “See Clearly” method (I disagree with that particular methodology, but at least you’d be doing some research).

Good day.

I totally agree with you, I was actually diagnosed as ADHD as a twelve year old because I couldn’t focus in class, but my mom refused to put me on medication and instead cut out sweets and pop that had lots of caffeine. As it turns out as soon as I stopped drinking the pop that was loaded with sugar and high amounts of caffeine I was able to focus and everything was fine.

A really sound post, and a great theme for blogging in these times of believe and consume, instead of study and create.

@Jimmy. You should read a bit more about how the eyes function before giving advice. If any lens does not focus you have to move it or change the focal length. The eyes do the latter with tiny muscles – if they don’t function, or if the lens is slightly the wrong shape, the focus can be corrected – PHYSICAL changes for a physical situation.

Not only sports are important for kids. Not all are fans of physical activities. Of course, water sports or swimming pool games are loved by all, in every sunny country. Winter sports are popular in cold countries.

Some children will benefit from music, art or speech and drama classes. All of us have different talents and diverse likings.

A healthy diet is the base for everything. Fiber and simple foods should be the basis to help our young ones grow.

As far as diagnostics are concerned, never be content with one by a single doctor. Get 2 or 3. A happy future of your offspring is at stake.

Be a good example to your kids and show enthusiasm in all hobbies of value of theirs.

We live in a drug culture and we don’t realize how these drugs are damaging ourselves and our children.

Eating natural food is a good point. There are so much chemicals in our food these days.

And yes, control the time allowed for computer games and TV is important, and get them involved in sports and games.

You should also look into Dr. Bates’ research on the eyes. Do you really think it’s natural to have a pair of lenses “correcting” your vision? Poor eyesight isn’t caused by lack of glasses, and it’s not a physical deformity. It is a stress and habit issue (hmm, staring at a fixed position all day? School itself, maybe?). Wearing glasses reinforces those habits. Another fun industry you should look into, selling stronger prescriptions (of lenses) each year… sounds a lot like pharmaceuticals to me.

I don’t have problem with my child. Lucky me. Actually, I never had problems with my daughter EVER. Since she was a little girl (about year and half, two), I went for a search of pure chocolate (real black chocolate in 1kg bricks that goes to the factories to make sweets) and black caviar (500gm tin). Just to clarify I am Russian. She was given it three times a day for about two years (then we left the country). Outdoors activities was as maximum as possible between myself, my wife and grandparents. We time share. Even if it was minus 25 in the winter. And lots of games indoor, no tv for her, maybe one cartoon. Why I am telling you this? Not bragging. We come to South Africa when she was six. Primary school Gr-3 first golden medal and each year after that till Gr-7. She finish primary school with 11 ( ELEVEN) golden medals. High school, second best. It was a privet school. How many different praises she took it just countless. Now, first year of University of Cape Town – Top Student. I receive letter from professor last year. In South Africa year end in December. I mean in schools. OK, now you get my point. We are is what we eat. Can not remember who said that but its true! Thanks for reading.

PS. She is in a film industry, not acting though. Film director, screen writing and so on. The high school staff was shocked when she choose it, they thought it would be science, maths. Remember this name: Kristina Graour.
