| Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com | Basing his work on the journals of William H. Bates, Tom Quackenbush outlines a method for restoring eyesight by using the mind and body to improve vision. He debunks conventional theories that assert the need for corrective lenses, arguing that the key to eyesight improvement lies in relearning the correct habits of vision. | Average Customer Rating: One more testimonial I just wanted to add my own testimonial about this fantastic book. It was first recommended to me about a year ago. I am an engineer and consider myself very rational. I would normally ignore a claim that seem to good to be true. However, the common theory of vision degeneration has never made any sense to me. I always wondered, if eyes can get longer (nearsightedness), why can't they get shorter again. Well, I started using this book about a year ago. My vision was about 20/250. To make a long story short, I now see about 20/40, and continue to see slow, but steady improvement. Relearning to see: Improve your Eyesight
This is a pretty extensive book to read. There is a lot of information that might not be all that necessary ... such as the kelvin ratings and various light bulb outputs, etc. In other words, a book of half the volume or less could get similar results w/o having to read through all the numerous pages. However, I have seen some improvement in my eyesight!! Fighter Pilots, Commercial Pilots. READ THIS! This book is a must for anyone considering to become a pilot, whether in the military or civilian route. This book teaches you proper (Natural) vision habits that are meant to be part of the way you use your eyes all day long: And NO, its not some silly eye exercises.
As you read this book, you'll understand the dangers, and risk of corrective lenses, and surgery: that not many ophthalmologist don't want you to ever know about.
Take my advice, if you have visual problems, buy this book. Relearning to SEE An in depth book on how are vision has deteriorated and how to restore it. Some theories of causes seem plausible but the cure is impossible for most people as it requires living without corrective lenses and multiple eye exercises. So far so good I've only gotten 154 pages into the 500+ pages of material and I am already thoroughly impressed. The science thus far presented seems to readily support that blurred vision can be corrected and that the lack of my ability to clearly see anything closer than my arms length is not due the popular theory that the lens of my eye has become so chronically stiff that it disables a focussing capability of my visual system. I am now convinced the lens plays little if no part in that function.
I've barely read this book but from what little I've gleaned so far, and from what little corrective visual habits I've begun to practice thus far I've already noticed great improvement. When I started reading the book about 4 weeks ago I could not hold the same book under indoor light and read it without reading glasses (the final straw that moved me to search out a remedy). In outdoor sunlight my arm was Juuuust long enough to do so without glasses. Now indoor I am able to read the same book/print at 3/4 arms length and outdoors at half arms length. I've discarded using my glasses, except when absolutely necessary to accomplish the task, so as to quicken my recovery of perfect vision.
I've also noticed a relaxation that has cleared tension I would often feel around my eyes and temples. Maybe that's related, I suspect so but I am not sure. In so far as I've read this book it is stated that practicing the visual habits supported by this material has often "seemed" to accompany relief of muscle tension problems beyond the visual musculature system such as experienced with neck, back and migraine pain. I could readily believe that learning to relax any chronically tense muscle system could domino into positively affecting other health systems as well. Also, just curiously, as a vocalist, I've noted a Major third improvement in my upper vocal range and an improved resonate intonation throughout my whole range. That may or may not be at all related, but I've been singing for years, it's a BIG deal and never have I noticed such a ready relaxation of my soft palate before. I am getting some insight into how Chris Cornell (one of me fav vocalists) does what he does now . . . heheheh.
Also it might be noteworthy to say that mind/body health has been a strong practice of awareness for me for over 25 years so this corrective practice might work more readily for me than for others but not much. So far the material I've covered is pretty simple to understand and pretty simple to put into practice.
Thank you Tom for making this book available. I also would like to express a deep appreciation for the initial scientific research done by William H. Bates M.D. that supports the work that has lead to the development of an awareness that can lead anyone, who earnestly seeks to do so, to a natural alternative practice that most likely could correct, or at least improve, any blurred vision they are experiencing. | |
