Book Description
Glasses and contacts are a pain. I tried to wear contact lenses while playing college and professional football and it just doesn't work. I was always getting sweat, dirt or even fingers in my eyes that just became annoying. After my football days, I decided to go on a quest. My mission was to find out if there were any ways to recover vision naturally, without corrective lenses. This book is a summary of what I found. In it I share how I was able to eliminate my glasses completely after ONE DAY! Granted, eventually I had to revisit some of these techniques but that was 2 years later! The majority of what I personally used was from the Bates Method. I am only a satisfied Bates student not a certified Bates practitioner. I wrote this book just to share the information so that it may help those in need. Here is some of what you will discover: Relaxation of body and eyes Breathing Exercise One: Deep Breathing Exercise Two: Lens Flexor Stretching Body Movement Exercise One: Sway Exercise Two: Long Swing Exercise Three: Cross-Crawl Energetic Yawning Blinking Palming Sunning Pinhole glasses Alternate Eye Movements Lazy Eights Central fixation Exercise 1: Tibetan Wheel Exercise 2: Snellen Chart Exercise 3: Domino Chart Exercise 4: Edging Exercise 5: Mandala Eye Oblique Stretch Near & Far Visualization Analytic seeing Chiropractic & Vision Nutrition This is a comprehensive collection from books, articles and research that I discovered on this journey to natural clear vision. Who is this book for? Anyone, from 5 to 100 who wishes to make their vision better as it's never too late to do so. Anyone who has problems with seeing correctly and wants to be able to do so. Anyone who uses weak, moderate or even strong reading glasses, or even bifocals or trifocals. Anyone who experiences eye strain, fatigue, or headaches when reading or trying to focus on the computer screen. Anyone with excellent near-point vision who wishes to keep it that way and save themselves from having to wear glasses. I hope you enjoy the information shared here. I've also included a list of 20 foods that optimize visual health. To Better Vision!"

Great stories are often built on the construction of the following five elements: 1) Have a character. 2) A character who wants or dreams of achieving something. 3) One or more obstacles stand in the character's way of what they want. 4) How did the character maneuver around the obstacles? 5) Did the character succeed or fail in their endeavor? But what if obstacles appeared before the dreams developed? Oakland, Ca. Three brothers. Nine Felonies. Mangy dogs. Crashed cars. Paranoid delusions. A weaponized packet of mayonnaise. Maniacal acid freak-outs. Polyester Players. Squeaky steered his brothers Gene and Joe away from any chance at a normal life. By the time vapid materialism came to define the 80's, the three of them were living out a virtual Metallica mosh-pit. Then one brother turned up missing, and was presumed murdered.

The Bates Method for Better Eyesight Without Glasses
Author: William H. Bates
Publisher: Holt Paperbacks
ISBN: 1429997915
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
Better Eyesight Without Glasses is not only the definitive source for the classic Bates Method, it is in itself a remarkable phenomenon. Dr. William H. Bates’s revolutionary and entirely commonsensical theory of self-taught improved eyesight has helped hundreds of thousands of people to triumph over normal defects of vision without the mechanical aid of eyeglasses. If you think that your eyesight could be made better by natural methods, you are right. After years of experimentation, Dr. Bates came to the conclusion that many people who wore glasses did not need them. He gradually and carefully developed a simple group of exercises for improving the ability of the eyes themselves to see, eliminating the tension caused by poor visual habits that are the major cause of bad eyesight. These exercises are based on the firm belief that it is the natural function of the eyes to see clearly and that anyone, child or adult, can learn to see better without glasses.
