Are Your Eyeglasses a Bad Habit? A case for Pinhole Glasses.
I used to sew... a lot. One day I couldn't thread my needle. That's when I succumbed to eye glasses; first readers, then prescription glasses that hurt my eyes, then back to drug store readers.
Late one night, while working long hours at my computer preparing the content for this website, my eyes were hurting so much I decided I couldn't go on....wearing my glasses, that is. I switched to my pinhole glasses and persevered through the initial resistance to looking through the lattice of small holes. Within a few days, I often didn't even need to wear the pinholes to see well enough to do my work.
Change your mind, change your vision
Evidently 80 percent of vision has to do with your brain, not your eyes. During the initial weeks of living and working without glasses, I would say to myself,
'Don't resist the blur. Relax into it.' I had first heard these wise words, spoken by ophthalmologist, Dr. Sam Berne, who uses a holistic approach to help people with eye-related problems.
Sam also recommends magnesium, exercise, lots of good water, D2, good diet, etc.
Of course, there are many types of eye problems and not all of them are as simple to overcome as mine. 'Relaxing into the blur' isn't appropriate while driving or operating machinery. However, I suspect that a lot of people are needlessly dependent on increasingly expensive eye wear (and surgeries) that might not be as necessary as presumed.

The City of Vancouver has spent $19 million on logging the trees of Stanley Park.
The City of Vancouver has spent $19 million on logging Stanley Park. There is no basis in science to justify what the City is doing. The City made a deal with one forestry contractor, involving $19 million dollars, without getting a second opinion and without input from the public. The logging contracts were awarded to the same outfit that "assessed" the park and made the recommendations to log the trees.
Moreover, money paid to the contractor was obtained secretly... transactions that were only discovered because of a lawsuit launched by the Stanley Park Preservation Society in an effort to stop the logging.
Methods to remove fluoride from Calgary’s tap water
Calgary is, once again, adding fluoride to its municipal water supply... a controversial practice which presents a challenge for residents who do not wish to drink or bathe in fluoridated water. Fluoride is very difficult to remove from tap water…much more challenging to remove than chlorine and other potential health hazards found in municipal water supplies. A simple water filter will not accomplish this task. Your best solutions for removing fluoride from drinking water are…
