The civilian population will probably feel the effects of these remedies which are causing some concern in optical circles. The present authors are attempting to attack the problem experimentally and this paper is presented as a survey of the field as it has been expressed by various writers.

    Conference report mproving sight without resorting to accessories or surgery may seem an unlikely concept to the majority of Natural vision optical professionals but that was the theme of the first British INatural Eyesight Conference. This was held from October 24-26 in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, with the Felden Lodge Hotel providing suitably picturesque views of natural scenery for delegates and speakers alike.

  • PLANET MEDICINE Modalities by RICHARD GROSSINGER North Atlantic Books Berkeley, California
    PLANET MEDICINE Modalities By RICHARD GROSSINGER North Atlantic Books Berkeley, California Bates Method31 EYEGLASSES HAVE BECOME such a staple of modern civilization that we barely notice the ubiquity of these odd facial Props. Goggles to enhance seeing are considered as commonplace as clothes to keep warm. We take it as axiomatic that visual clarity (and lack of clarity) are hereditary and fixed and that artificial lenses are the only recourse for blurs and other nonpathological deficiencies of sight. The entire optometric profession exists to counteract poor eyesight by fitting mechanical aids onto the face. In the late twentieth century this partial prosthesis has been made so unobtrusive and socially acceptable it is no longer a major encumbrance or a stigma. In some circumstances, eyeglasses are even a source of pride and an opportunity to style attitudes and personali-ties. Many healers and holistic practitioners wear glasses without considering that poor vision might be a significant aspect of their general mind/body state. They presume that the capacity of the eyes to focus is somehow separate from well-being as a whole. Thus, clarity of vision has become the most conservative bastion of allopathy, the last to yield to somatic holism. Yet what if visual clarity and blurs are no more hereditary or immutable than the habits of tension and stress explored by Alexan-der? What if relearning the natural patterns of movement underlying sight could dramatically improve just about everyone's ability to see clearly? This hardly seems likely given the universal acceptance of optom-etry and the large number of educated and medically trained men and women who themselves wear glasses or contact lenses.

The most violent letters came from Reichians, furious because the book considered orgonomy alongside such (to them) outlandish cults as dianetics. Dianeticians, of course, felt the same about orgonomy. I heard from homeopaths who were insulted to find themselves in company with such frauds as osteopathy and chiropractic, and one chiropractor in Kentucky "pitied" me because I had turned my spine on God's greatest gift to suffering humanity. Several admirers of Dr. Bates favored me with letters so badly typed that I suspect the writers were in urgent need of strong spectacles. Oddly enough, most of these correspondents objected to one chapter only, thinking all the others excellent.

    A Better Vision With Accupressure BY Dr. H.BHOJRAJ B E (Hons) M D(Acu) Rtd ISRO SCIENTIST AND ACUPUNCTURE SPECIALIST DEDICATED TO ALL MY MASTERS AND ACUPUNCTURE PRACTITIONERS FOREWORD BY Dr.Bhaskarnarayana, Ex Scientific Secretary, DOS,ISRO Ex. Pro Chancellor, KL University, Vijayawada FOREWORD It is my privilege to write this foreword for the book Towards a better vision with Acupressure by Dr.H.Bhojraj. Everyone is aware of the importance of vision in our daily life. Many advances have taken place in the last thirty years in the field of Ophthalmology. But even with all these advances we still see a lot of people using spectacles to correct the vision, starting at very early age. Dr.Bhojraj, in this book gives preventive as well as curative exercises which will benefit the people having no eye issues as well as those who are using vision correction devices. Dr.Bhojraj is an engineer by profession who worked and retired from a very senior position in Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). I also worked in ISRO and he has been a close friend of mine. About thirty years back he picked up interest in Acupressure and Acupuncture and his passion led him to study the subject extensively and as a result obtained Doctor in Acupuncture degree from Open International University, Sri Lanka. After retiring from ISRO, he took up acupuncture as full time profession and treated several people for various illnesses. He has conducted several short term and long term courses on the subject and trained many men and women on this subject.

  • The Alexander Technique and the Bates Method of Vision Training
    THE USE OF THE EYES AND THE USE OF THE SELF. Comparing the Bates Method and the Alexander Technique Aino Klippel, July 11th, 2010 1 THE USE OF THE EYES AND THE USE OF THE SELF Comparing the Bates Method and the Alexander Technique In this essay I am going to compare the work of F.M. Alexander and William Bates, to see how they overlap and reinforce each others'. At first glance, their approaches seem to be quite different: a typical Alexander lesson includes some chair and table work- a Bates lesson some sunning and palming, visualization and other exercises. What I'm interested in, is the thinking behind these activities, which in both systems should be learned from a qualified teacher, who is able to give the student the right experience. Bates and Alexander both started to develop their methods to cure their personal problems. Alexander's discoveries stemmed from him loosing his voice whilst working as an actor. (Alexander, 2001.) He started his career as a breathing and voice coach, and went on to make a connection between Alexander work and improved posture. (Barlow, 1978.) The Alexander Technique deals with co-ordination, bringing awareness to the ways humans interfere with the best possible functioning of the organism as a whole, both physically and mentally. The Technique can also be used to improve specific conditions such as back pain or stuttering. (BMJ 2008;337:a884, Alexander, 2001.) In fact, Alexander paid close attention to the way his pupils were using their eyes, and he reported the eyesight of some of his pupils having been cured in the process of learning his Technique.
