I Dont Need Glasses

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.

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.

I do believe in vision improvement but I am having very slow gains.

And when we want something, in this case, clear vision, and if not careful, we can easily purchase a product that might not be all that it claim.

Just as there were some fake Bates method teachers that really were just out for their own profits.

With that said. Greg Marsh claims to have cured his -12 and -14 diopters. Now, I’m just wondering has anyone here gone to his classes, tried his CD or any experience with this program?

RECENT SERIES OF EVENTS IN ITS ENTIRETY which started from Olavi Pärssinen´s review in the Finnish Medical Journal (6/2009)

(This text is translated into English from the original Finnish exchange)

Finnish Medical Journal’s discussion policy: “Public discussion refers to open discussion about material appearing in this magazine. Its purpose is to give fresh feedback to the editors and to provide our readers with an opportunity for
criticism. The letters will not be published elsewhere without the express consent of the writer. On behalf of the Finnish Medical Journal, the Editors-in chief and Managing Editor will reply to comments sent in as necessary.”

I honor Dr. Bates for the work that he did. But I try to separate two specific issues that Bates was concerned with.

1. The tendency of the eye to go DOWN when you place a minus lens on it. This was probably the spur that drove Dr. Bates to conduct his successful 1913 study. I call this the recognization of a problem. I think we all agree on this issue.

2. Once you recognize the problem, then you can propose a “method” of prevention. It is at this point that there are many problems.
