So for example, perhaps you add a drizzle of coconut oil or olive oil to the carrot juice? Other than that, I love your plan. Keep up posted!!! :) Cheers, Kristen PS I like what Sharon said about keeping the liver clean for good eyesight. I’ve read that beta-carotene is assimilated properly when consumed with fat.

I agree with you Sharon 100%. I am so very tired of the medical world continuously trying to usurp our individual power within to heal. I do not fault those individuals within the field of medicine all the way...it's a 2way street...and it is sites like this one and dherbs.com and countless others that are here to empower the people. Thank you for taking the words out of my mouth and putting it so very eloquently!!! Sisters we mus heal ourselves so that we can heal the world. We are the original EARTHMAMAS and GODDESSES.

I NEVER write anything unless I know it to be a fact. I happen to know people personally who have benefited from the Bates program if that's what you're suggesting has been proven wrong and it won't take too long to find random people on youtube or forums who have also had success with it. Like these from a Bates teacher: http://www.clearvisionnaturally.com/successstories.html. Spend some time on Google and look for results from real people. Science means nothing if it doesn't work on people. Our body is capable of much more than the current way of thinking (if you can call it that) that modern medicine and science try to teach us. If you are running in the circles of the medical world you will have to believe there is no hope but glasses. It's a bit of a dilemma for the medical model that there are countless people that prove that them wrong. EFT: 75% out of 120 people improved vision. Here's the Press Release:http://www.emofree.com/press-releases/vision-acupressure.htm I heard a biochemist speaking about how the liver affects cataracts. I also know people who have reversed cataracts. These are pretty common occurrences in my line of work which is detoxification and nutrition. Always remember there is more than one way of dealing with health issues and bad eyesight is no different than any other. Our eyes are a reflection of what's going on in our bodies. I suppose iridology is also laughed at in opthamology school. That certainly doesn't mean it isn't valid--unless you believe what you read on Quackwatch--the guy who calls himself a doctor and has lost every single court case he's ever been involved with. Wikopedia is also a poor resource. Countless people have reversed their vision with a raw food diet. Maybe not all will get rid of glasses but many will lessen their prescription. I realize it's your job to fit people for glasses but please don't tell people there's no hope when there is. Here's another site you may want to look at: http://www.visionsofjoy.org/inthenews.htm Yvonne,

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:55:29 +0000 http://www.naturemoms.com/blog/?p=3707#comment-13601 Hi there! I'm a technician for a pediatric ophthalmologist and have been in ophthalmology for about 3 years. Most vision problems (myopia/hyperopia) are due to the shape of the eye. While eating lots of healthy veggies and greens are good for your overall ocular health (warding off such things as macular degeneration), its not gonna help much if her poor vision is due to a refractive error (she needs glasses - is myopic or hyperopic). I looked into some of the ideas suggested above by Sharon, one is based on ideas since proven physiologically incorrect and the other two reminded me of the "see clearly" method that was proven false and the company was made to refund money by the FDA. BTW, I've worn glasses or contacts since I was 4 and have been having my daughter's vision regularly checked since she was old enough to read the chart, I'd HATE for her to have to go through what I've had to, luckily she's good! also 20/30 vision is good enough to drive without correction!

I'll have to try throwing some more of the right foods in her diet. I don't need glasses so far, but my husband does and is so desperate to be able to afford the surgery.

You can find it on my website. I wear glasses and don't mind them at all. I tried contacts for a while but I kept getting stuff in my eyes. Glasses are a good protection and now that I'm not a kid anymore they really don't get dirty like they used to. Plus they can hide bags under the eyes! One of my friends had Lasik and they screwed up one of his eyes. Be sure to research the possible after-effects. It won't work on everyone. Look for the best surgeon possible. I'm not risking that one. Sunlight deficiency is also a common problem. My eyesight improved several times in the last few years. First when I detoxified heavy metals and secondly when I did a 10 day watermelon-only diet. Keeping the liver clean is crucial for eyesight. I don't need my glasses for reading anymore, just distance. Here’s a few tips to Google for getting rid of glasses:

The lasik surgery changes the shape of your cornea to correct the focus, just as contacts and glasses do. Your statement "but to me it means there has likely been some vision deterioration" isn't necessarily true. Your child's retina is likely perfectly healthy, so you don't need to worry about macular degeneration at this point (it's not a common reason for glasses in children - but your doctor will tell you if he/she sees any actual deterioration). I think your diet is wonderful, but I am skeptical that it would help with myopia/hyperopia.

They can cause goiter and really mess up your thyroid. The thyroid regulates metabolism, so really important. Sauerkraut is really awesome, and so easy to make!

Bring your finger as close to your nose as you can while keeping focus, focus on your finger and then focus at a point far away, repeat and slowly try to move your finger closer. Do this with both eyes and one eye at a time. I'm far sighted, so no lasik for me. There are exercises to help keep your eyes strong.

Not the tablets but the oil itself. And just one teaspoon a day works great. The Carlson's fish oil with lemon flavor is very good. It has the great taste award. Besides omega3 fatty acids, fish oil has also DHA and EPA; which are good for brain and eye development as well as maintaining the health of heart and eye's retina. Hope this is helpful and best wishes to you and your family. I don’t know if you use animal products or not but as far as I know I can say that fish oil is the best.
