Responds from yesterday’s post on “Gregs Marsh – Vision Improvement Program?”
A number of products are sold, and “claims” are made for them. I personally don’t make “claims”.
I do think that what Bates did (not said) should be understood.
Toka> Just as there were some fake Bates method teachers that really were just out for their own profits.
Otis> I would recommend reading Bates 1913 study (continued from is work in N.D.). What he was attempting to do was to “reverse” a slight degree of nearsightedness (before that first minus) because he was convinced that ANY USE
OF A MINUS converted threshold-myopia into permanent myopia. (My opinion, but major scientific studies show stair-case myopia when a over-prescribed minus is applied.) Thus Dr. Bates made no “claim” is a person started wearing a minus.
His only “suggestion” was that if the kids read their Snellen (as a method) they could clear it and avoid any use of the minus. Tragically, there are too many people who ignore Bates fear of the minus, and tend to use his name and make “claims” — and that does discredit Bates and his 1913 study (whether intentional or not).
Otis> But since I have Snellens on my wall, and this is the Bates “method”, I totally support Bates efforts.
Otis> Further, if you read i-see, you can get all the help you need FOR FREE.
Otis> That is why I totally support Alex in his efforts.
