Do we need to suffer eyesight degeneration with aging? Age-related eyesight degeneration is usually associated with ‘Macular Degeneration. Is it reversible? . However, other symptoms, such as needing reading glasses are also signs that your eyesight is declining. Can any or all of these eyesight issues be reversed?
Health Research
When I was about 60, I bought glasses in order to read. About a decade later, I felt some health challenges and I was somewhat overweight. I had read Dr. Robert O. Young’s book, ‘Sick and Tired’, which is an excellent optimum health resource and very enlightening. He describes how using microscopy one can analyze a drop of your live blood and ascertain both your health challenges and what to do about them.
I located one of Dr. Young’s trained microscopist, Marie Dahlen, in Linden, Utah, and set an appointment. Our second daughter, Katie Clingo, was very interested in this approach, and asked if she could go along.
Marie found that I had Rouleau, (which is a clumping of the red-blood cells that inhibits good circulation through the capillaries). She recommended that I get off of sugar and yeast products and that I make salads my main diet for a while.
She also recommended that I take a scoop of Dr. Young’s supergreens each day, which is a combination of 49 different greens. At that time, Dr. Young had formed a company called INNERLIGHT with products in support of the concept that when the red-blood cells are properly charged, they glow as you look at them live under a microscope, and that state produces good health.
Lifestyle Changes
I found some wonderful varieties and tastes in salads, and in two weeks, I had lost 15 pounds, felt great, and when Karie came back from being trained by Dr. Young, she analyzed my blood, she said, “You blood looks like a teenagers.” But not today’s teenagers! Who are now often too fat! The Rouleau was totally gone in two weeks!
At that time, I also used a product called bio-light – an herbal product made by INNERLIGHT. Unfortunately, INNERLIGHT went out of business a few years ago, and these products are no longer available. However, applying the concepts I believe can bring about the desired healing and eye health benefits.
After about three months following this way of eating, I noticed I didn’t need my glasses anymore. I took them off and haven’t put them on since; HAPPY DAY. I was not expecting this benefit.
Following Dr. Young’s guidelines moves the body to a healthy alkaline state of being – toward life instead of toward death (acid). I later added some ENIVA products to my daily supergreen drink: Vibe and Eye Health. I highly recommend them as well.
Marie Dahlen was able to reverse Macular Degeneration for her mother using Dr. Young’s program – including bio-light. Dr. Lorraine Day has an excellent CD called ‘Eye See’ that tells how to reverse eye diseases and what causes them. She points out that table sugar is a real killer for the eyes. It is a slow poison to the body as well. It is so pervasive in processed foods. I try to avoid it and can tell if I have had too much. I pick my poisons carefully!
There is a pioneering work of Dr. William H. Bates, ‘The Bates Method for Better Eyesight without Glasses’ – a tested method for improving vision by the doctor who originated and perfected it. The book was published by his wife nine years after Dr. Bate’s passing in 1940. It is now available in paperback. Like the body, mind, and spirit need proper nourishment and exercise, so do the eyes, as Dr. Bate’s points out.
I find mountain biking is not only good for my knees, my cardiovascular system, but also for my eyes with the near-far vision that takes place as you ride. Plus, it couples me to nature in a wonderful way.
For me, eyesight degeneration is a thing of the past. I am on my 81st trip around the sun, and still don’t need glasses. I actually have been able to reverse several debilitating diseases, and I had a great bike ride again today.
