Hi, Ted. Do you or your readers have ANY suggestions re: myopia. I have read countless books, have gone to vision teachers and nothing has helped !! Any advice ??? Thanks"

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "I have a friend of mind who constantly gets myopia and was relieved of the condition taking chromium supplements. The ones I used here were chromium picolinate 200 mcg x 3 times a day or the ones I used MOST often is the chromium polynicotinate (more like chromium attached to the vitamin B3!) at about 200 mcg approximately. I am sure vitamin D deficiency is indicated and vitamin Ds I used here was 20,000 I.U. taken for a couple of days.

There is a background story I like to tell as to HOW I BECAME MYOPIC when I was in 4th and 5th grade. Things got worse in the 5th grade, so I know the general cause of it based on my observations. At the time I was not aware that eating certain foods can initiate a deficiency causing the myopia. And as a result, if the conditions were not treated at an early stages, the eye muscles responsible for focus control becomes atrophied.

When I was in the 4th grade, I attended Catholic school in Chicago, because facilities were lacking, I was eating foods wrapped in aluminum (bad) and began using fluoride toothpaste (on a bad recommedations from dentist) and I also ate plenty of sweets, which causes the body to deplete rather quickly of chromium. Chromium is a required mineral for the muscles in the eyes necessary for focus. However, my eyesight were getting not so good and had problems of some focusing, I did passed the eye exam. The Catholic school were more attentive to student's health. Then my parents decided to move me to Morris Elementary School, which was predominantly Hispanics, the area of the school lacked the sun, and the housing there was also dark. The darkness initiated a vitamin D deficiency which I have found much later in life through my observations that vitamin D is necessary for muscle growth. My muscles and build is improved with vitamin D and it is a well known fact that children become myopic in classrooms for the lack of sun.

Therefore a simply remedy is to reduce sugar, aluminum use, fluoride toothpaste. I would consider taking vitamin D 20,000 I.U. for a month with some magnesium (to balance the calcium:magnesium ratio) and take plenty of chromium supplements, in particular is the chromium polynicotinate 200 mg x 3 at the very least for a couple of weeks.

A person with a relatively weak myopia, if he is observant, should notice improvement within a couple of weeks. Other supplements that may help are amino acid supplements which are synergistic with chromium as well as some vitamin B complex which are synergistic with magnesium.

There are others, such as vanadium but the ones I mentioned here are the most important one. In case fluoride in drinking water or excess use, I might take a pinch (1/16 teaspoon) of borax to reduce the fluoride buildup, which seems play havoc with the body's coordination activities as it accumulates negatively in the pineal gland - which I think is as close to the master gland as it is the body's biological clock for all the major processes.

Exercises for Myopia

Modern day Chinese people have overcome myopia through the usage of acupressure massage techniques. Some of them are listed in the eBook you have mentioned. Today I started doing them.

While it is too early to tell whether they will overcome myopia or not, I can tell you that my eyes already feel more relaxed, and my sinuses are draining better. Perhaps these exercises will help sinus trouble in addition to the myopia that plagues our nation.

Vision improvment

I have been taking 3 cayenne pepper caps a day and I cannot believe how i can see better. I am typing away without glasses this evening. My vision is +2.5 on the left and +2.00 on the right.

Also I suffer from a bad cocxyx (tail bone pain) since I started the caps my pain has halved. I read somewhere it heals nerves I think its true.

I am telling everyone about it.I take a capsule with everymeal.Its working. I had a brand new wart which became sore so I mixed cayenne pepper with a drop of water to make a little paste and put it on the wart. Put a bandaid on it and now its gone. Try it.

Myopia Remedies

Supplements didn't do much for me and I took them for about 4 months, so I know for a fact they didn't help. But I've been trying a combination of plus-lens therapy and eye massages and went from -3.00 (in both eyes) to -1.00 (in both eyes) in a little more than 2 months. It takes some time and discipline, but it's well worth it. I'm sure I will recover my full eyesight very soon.
