Hello, everyone, it’s Dr. Sam, I’d like to welcome you to my EyeClarity podcast. This is a show that offers cutting edge information on how to improve your vision and overall wellness through holistic methods. I so appreciate you spending part of your day with me. If you have questions, you can send them to hello@drsamberne.com.

00:46

Here it it’s actually 50 degrees.

00:53

Oh, nice.

00:54

And it’s gonna be it’s a little weird. We didn’t get any snow this year. In Manhattan? No. We just didn’t get any snow, which was a little bit bizarre. But it’s

01:13

cool. Hopefully you’ll have a wet spring, you’ll have a wet spring and good flowers and maybe everything will bloom. Yeah. So I read your history. And why don’t you give me your goals and objectives today. And I can I can speak a lot about your diagnosis. But I want to hear in your words what you want to get out of our time today.

01:39

Yeah. So I have retinal coloboma. And basically, what it like, in this, I have a blind spot. So okay, it’s like, the middle, there’s a spot, I can see what’s on the sides of me, but I can’t see what’s in the very center, like, there. Okay. And then I can see fully with both eyes open, because just like they’re working together like that. It’s possible that I have some blind spots in the left eye, but my brain blocks them out. So I see a full picture. And oh, I didn’t mention in my thing that when I was 15, I did have the muscle corrective surgery in the right eye. Because I was crossing.

And so yeah, so my prescription was quite high. I kept getting over prescribed, they were my doctor who did a really good job with me as a baby, but he kept making my prescription higher and higher and higher. So I’m 24 years old, I’m now 31 But I’m 24 years old with negative 7.5 and a negative seven and astigmatism lens. So that’s quite high. And then I got a prism installed in this lens because then I met a doctor that was like let’s put a prism in there. So now it was even stronger because I didn’t realize a prism men stronger. A couple years ago, I met an eye doctor that now retired but he works with Dr. He was a colleague of you know, that guy that does the light stuff. Jacob Lieberman. Yeah, with him, I started doing color therapy with sin tonics. And that helps me a lot. And he retired. And I’m not really doing I have this and tonics here at home, like I can use them when I want to, but I don’t. I’m not on a protocol with them at the moment. And I also have a red light therapy device, which I use a lot as well. I’ve gotten my prescription down.

Now I’m in a negative 4.5. In both lenses. I still have these magnetism and this lens and I want to get that gone. I also want to I’m not 100% clear in these glasses. I’m like 90% clear, when I’m dehydrated or hungry, my vision will get blurrier. And I’m curious about that about like, what do you think is possible for me as somebody with coloboma? I don’t really like to think of myself as that but like somebody just like with retina missing. I also want to know what you know about that. And if you’ve worked with anybody like that, and you know, I hear a lot of conflicting things from my doctors that make me feel really bad about myself. Like I hate when they look at my when they do the back of my eyes, and they’re like, Well, I can’t believe you see, as well as you see, that’s unbelievable. And it makes me feel really bad about myself because I’m like, Well, I do so am I supposed to feel like I’m somehow not as good you know, like, not capable or whatever. because I have this here and yeah. Okay, I want to hear what you have to say that’s kind of where I’m at. Yeah. Okay.

05:09

So when were you diagnosed with a coloboma? Was that something you were born with? Or?

05:15

Yeah, when I was born, the doctors, the interns that like, give birth to the hospital. They looked at me and my pupils didn’t dilate, right. So they told my mom that I was blind or legally blind. And my mom said, That’s impossible, also terrible time to tell a mother that something might be wrong with their child like that, like right when they gave birth. Then I was diagnosed when I was a baby, they had some people come to my house and take, they were giving me eye exams as a baby where they would have me touch different things to see what I could sense and grab. And I disqualified for the program because I could touch things that were too small. So they disqualified me. I must, I think I was diagnosed at like one or two. But the eye doctor said to my mom, don’t freak out and assume that she can’t see things wait until she’s old enough to tell you what she can see in what she can do. So that was helpful. I have a lot of pictures of myself and memories of myself when I was little, like four or five, riding bikes and doing everything without glasses. And so I intuitively knew that that was better for me. I have no idea what prescription I started up. Yeah, it was like one or two that they diagnosed me. Okay.

06:44

Well, is the coloboma more in the macula area, the optic nerve area, the retina area, where is the coloboma? Exactly? Do you know? What part of the retina Yes, but is it? So the macula is the part of the retina where you we see detail. And it’s kind of a very small part in the retina if you don’t know it’s okay. Because I do think it’s the macula, okay. Well, there’s a lot of upside, there’s a lot of upside here. I mean, there’s a lot of really great potential for you forget what the eye doctor say, because, and I was trained this way as well. I doctors are trained in the disease based model. So they’re always looking for what’s wrong. And they never study any ways to improve one’s vision. It’s just part of the medical training, because then it’s pharmaceutical drugs and surgery. So when you go to them, it’s kind of a downer, because their environment is such where they they’ve never seen people who have improved. But because of my background, I don’t know if you know my story, I became very nearsighted at about eight years old diagnosed with a learning disability. I went to an ophthalmologist, they put strong glasses on me, I couldn’t learn, you know, I was a memorizer. And when I was 30 years old, I met a holistic developmental optometrist who was semi retired. And I was from the East Coast. So he was up in Connecticut.

And I started to go to him as a patient. And within six months, I completely dissolved my myopia, 100%. And my learning problem went away because I had an eye turn that went out. And so I was in double vision a lot. And so I experienced this amazing shift where I didn’t need my lenses anymore. And fast forward. Many years later, I don’t need prescriptions for distance or near. And so I experienced this healing in my vision. And so I devoted my app devoted my career into helping people improve their vision, instead of just, you know, making it worse. And so I can give you a lot of things to help you continue your journey of improvement. That’s easy. There’s a lot here for you. And the great news is, you’ve already done some things, the fact that you even know about some tonics. I was very early, you know, very involved in some tonics in the mid 1980s, knew Jacob really well, and developed my own light and color therapy, protocols and so on. Also study Chinese medicine and acupuncture and saw the relationship between the liver and the gallbladder and our internal organs in our eyes. So when you talk about dehydration, there’s a relationship.

I also studied functional medicine. So when they go on with the functional medicine, doctors, they’re thrilled that somebody’s talking about improving their vision because The gut and the eyes are super related. Yeah, emotions, energy. I’m also a cranial sacral therapist. So get the muscular skeletal connection between the eyes and the body. And there was a study I wanted to just share with you research study University of Rochester, where researchers found that 50% of vision is in the brain, I think it’s higher. And so even if you have a something going on in the eye, wherever it is cornea, vitreous retina, you can start engaging your brain more, and that can kind of help your eyes kind of fill in the missing parts. And, you know, I’m actually really excited that you’ve gone from minus seven or minus 750. down into the 450. Can you get rid of a stigmatism? Absolutely, yes, I mean, I’ve got some great ideas for you on that. And you know, the sky’s the limit. There’s so many things here that are going to be at your fingertips.

And the thing is, is just the people you go to, they have a limited view, so you’re not going to get much for them from them, but it’s not really the whole picture or the truth. So we’re gonna dig into some really specific things that you can do to take your vision to the next level. Even though you’ve had this call a BOMA, and the strabismus and so on. There’s still so much you can, you can do see, the eyes are the outer part of the brain. They’re the only part of the brain that’s outside the cranial vault, you know this, and prenatally. The eyes are one of the oldest tissues, you know, they start growing outside the brain very early, prenatally. So every part of the eye is brain. And there is a neuroplasticity capability. You know, this huge red light study out of the University College London, Glen Jeffries lab, he’s an ophthalmologist show that using red light on the eyes, the retina increases the mitochondria function which improves vision. Without a doubt reduces drusen gets rid of dry eye. So you know, you’re really I can show you and tell you about some things I’ve developed in research around color and light as well. So that’s my, my opening statement.

12:22

Yeah. Things that I’ve done is the color therapy. And the red light was the last thing I got because I couldn’t tolerate red at first because it’s so stimulating. At first I was doing the blues and purples. And then I’m into red. Okay, amazing. Also, what do you know about like, what sometimes? Okay, it’s okay. Sometimes I feel like a my Do you know if if there’s retina missing? What’s in this space? That’s not there? Is it scar tissue?

13:05

Well, in a call a BOMA, what’s happening is part of the the tissue is not there. And so usually what’s in its place is some kind of scar tissue. And some kind of kind of tissue that’s not transparent. It’s a it’s a kind of a bleak type of thing. So there’s usually a darkness and it can be either tissue that’s hasn’t been stimulated, or it can be dead tissue. You know, it’s kind of hard to tell. But the fact that you’re able to see out of the right eye and there’s some visual field deficit, there are very interesting techniques that you can do to stimulate both that area and also amplify the area around it. So works better. So like for example, when I work with scar tissue in the eyes, there’s a digestive enzyme called serrapeptase. Syrup.

Yeah, are natto kinase. Both of those have been shown as a proteolytic enzyme to sometimes be able to reduce scar tissue in the eye. Just as an example, my MSM, eyedrops, MSM is a collagen creator. So when you use MSM, it’s rebuilding collagen. It works great for you know, floaters and dry and inflammation, even things like my castor oil. So castor oil is a very powerful substance that really rebuilds the skin and I was able to make it into an organic eyedrops. So it’s very moisturizing and lubricating. So the key thing is Developing even more circulation in the retina. And you can do that by supplementing with things like nitric oxide that dilates the blood vessels, or red light, specifically on the retina. There are also some other antioxidants that you want to make sure you’re taking, which I’m sure you are like lutein, Xanthine, and Astra Xanth and vitamin A, just as a few of them bilberries another one. And you can do that either in a supplementation or just through food. So I don’t know if you can see me right now. These are 670 nanometer read glasses. Okay, now, in some tonics,

15:46

I need that. Yeah, I think looking at them, but I need those, I can just tell when I’m looking at them.

15:54

You know, when I, when I discovered the research, and I went to a couple of places, what happened was is that I didn’t know where I could get these. And there was a company in the in the UK, but they never responded to me. And since I’ve developed light machines, color machines, and I’ve worked with color for 35 years, I went to one of my manufacturers, and we matched this frequency at 670. That’s what you need. And so after, you know, several tries and prototypes, I put these up on my website a couple of months ago. And so what you would do with this is this is a morning treatment, and about five minutes. And you do it, you know, five days a week. The thing is, is you don’t need a bright light source. You know, our eyes have a autonomic reflex that when things are too bright, that we you know, we move away from it. So in light therapy, what I’ve learned is that, you know, you could use an indirect light source, you could use a dimmer BrightSource. Right now I’m talking to you and I can look out my window. And it’s kind of a dim day, so this would be great for me. To do it this way. I don’t need to look at a bright like the sun or some real bright light. And because of your color, BOMA, you need to be very careful about your light exposure. I don’t know whether you do have light sensitivity or not. But you don’t need you don’t need a bright light. Sometimes I’ve worked with a lot of people with color, BOMA and the pupil in the iris.

And the UV, which is kind of the internal lining and the retinas. So I’ve seen it a lot. When I was in practice in Philadelphia, I was affiliated for a little bit with the Low Vision Center, find Blum Center, and PCO. And, you know, those people saw a lot worse than you, I mean, you, you’re actually at the very high end of the situation. But I think that, again, there’s some things that you can do actually reducing your myopia and astigmatism will give you more vision, and it could reduce the blind spots. So I want to start with the myopia and the astigmatism. So one of the things that I discovered as a kind of a physical physical therapy eye doctor because I worked with a lot of physical therapists. And what I wanted to do was challenge the visual system, so we get stronger, it’s kind of a technique I learned in fitness.

So as a as a nearsighted person, you were minus lens, you’re well versed the you know, you were minus, and what a minus lens does is it actually immediately compresses your vision into this kind of narrowing, tightening, compressing, it makes things smaller than they really are. If you compared an object with the lenses on and with them off when you put them on immediately. It makes things smaller, and with a stigmatism, it creates a warping. It’s a twist, it’s a warp. So when you wear a prescription, unfortunately you’re not wearing the 750 anymore. It reinforces that tightness and compression. So for nearsighted people what I developed as I say go wear plus lens, and I developed this exercise called plus lens, the blur you might have seen it on my website. So what you do is you go to one of the drugstores any drugstore, and you go to the area where they have the magnifying glasses. Now I’m on the right,

19:40

I have a bunch here actually I’ve

19:43

run to get the the highest plus lens that you can. So that would be like a plus three plus 350 Something like that. And while you’re there, if you don’t have it, get yourself and I catch up Hey, we’re gonna work with each eye separately. So you come home and you’re in your bedroom or somewhere where there’s you’re safe. And you do what I’m doing here, you cover your left eye, and you take your regular glasses off and you look out six 810 feet, and you get a baseline on some blur. You’re gonna have some blurriness without your glasses on. And then you get these plus lenses, and you immediately put them on. And you watch mentally, what your responses. Now it could be anything like oh my god, I could get hurt. This is scary amount of control. There’s a mental vigilance, hyper vigilance that our mind tells our eyes as a nearsighted person. That’s why we became that way. But the goal is for you to mentally relax into it and embrace the blur like you didn’t like the red light. Now your job is to kind of embrace the blur and you do it for a minute. And then you take the glasses off, and you get a second reading of the acuity right now, my eyesight has gotten much clearer, just by relaxing my mind and eyes into the blur. So then I do it again. Second time, same thing. Now I’m really tracking myself emotionally, psychologically and mentally.

What am I thinking? What what are the memories? What comes up for me? What What is it showing me? It could be I want to get rid of this. I don’t like it. It’s scary. It’s you know, and the primary emotion around fear. Myopia is fear. I don’t trust what I see, I gotta tighten up and pull in, it’s a defense strategy, my sympathetic nervous system is overworking, everything’s going to dry out because I’m fight flight freeze. So the What the Plus lens is doing is it’s stimulating my parasympathetic nervous system. So I do it for a minute, I take it off, wow, even clearer, amazing, then I do it a third time. So I’m layering the experience, each time I layer it, layer it, I get to go deeper into my eyeball. Okay, because the programming behind the eye is what is causing the myopia. It’s an I’ve internalized something in my vision. And then I got a nearsighted lens, so there was no way I could ever release the energy I internalized. Alright, after the third time, now it’s really clear, damn, this is clear. And then this is a big part right here, I take the patch off, bang, my left eye is seeing so much more. Because that patch has disrupted, the two I patterning my peripherals better, I have more light coming in my two eyes now have to readjust. And I think with the blind spot in the right eye, this is really great for you, because what the plus lens does, it spreads the light out into areas of the retina that you’re not accessing. When you wear your minus lenses. When you wear your minus lenses, all the light is focusing in a very tiny part of the retina, it focuses the light like this, a plus lens does this, it also makes the muscles in the tissue more more fluid more relaxed, there’s more flow minus lens, there’s no movement, you’re just stuck. So then you do the same thing.

You cover the the other eye and you get a baseline of the left eye. And then you do the same thing you put now this is different on the side. Wow, it’s not as blurry for me. I don’t feel as tight. One minute on, get a second baseline. So I do it three times for a minute, boom, boom, boom. And then I take the patch off. And already my visual acuity my video, you’re gonna notice things are better for you, you’re gonna go Oh, my God, this is like really great. Now, because you’ve got the astigmatism in the left eye, it’s going to start to unwind that warping. And one of the things I’d like to offer you is I’d like to send you a prescription. And I want you to get something made up that has no astigmatism in the left eye. Yeah, and you’ll find if you start with, you have it already.

24:20

No, I feel that I’m ready to go there. So totally ready.

24:25

So I’m licensed to do this. You can go anywhere in New York, and you can take them to prescription, and they’ll make it up for you and what we can negotiate. I’m thinking Let’s reduce the prescription to make it a Vision Improvement type situation because one of the techniques that my doctor did with me and my myopia reduction, as he gave me something less than what I normally wear, and I used to wear it indoors. And after about a month I could actually see As well out of that prescription as I did my strong lenses, and you know, the eyes and the brain will adjust to whatever you put in front of it. Right? So I’m thinking maybe 250, something like that. If you have a number that you want to go to, we’re negotiating this, we’re partners in this. So I’m, I’m happy to take your input, if you don’t think 250 is right, what do you think?

25:28

Well, let me tell you what I did. So I was at a negative in both of my eyes. And then my firm who replaced my guy that I liked, she doesn’t understand me. And she wouldn’t give me a lower prescription. Because she said, Why would you do that, you know, whatever. So I went online, and I started to make my own glasses. Because you know, there’s web sites where you can do whatever you want. So that’s how I came to the negative five, I ordered, like three different pairs, and I found the pair, they gave him a middle line of blur. Left, like, I could see a little bit where my knee relaxed, where I was going to head next with my, that’s, yeah, that actually was like a very good move for me. And then I would wear them at home, just working and being at home. And then now I wear them out all the time. I don’t feel 100% Clear on them yet. But I kind of just go with the flow with it. Because I know that’s a part of it. I was gonna go next to negative three with no astigmatism, but do you think I could do negative 2.5? I’ll do negative 2.5. Because I because I’m gonna do this stuff that you’re saying. And so I think negative 2.5 could work.

26:53

So if you’re gonna do negative 2.5, I would start by just wearing it, where you live inside, I wouldn’t necessarily go out in the city. And yeah, my we do, that we’re doing a place where you feel safe. But there’s a couple things I want you to look for inside of yourself when you do the 250s. And you’re probably doing this already. But what you need to track when you put the 250 on is what you feel what you feel in your nervous system. What you feel emotionally, in other words, it’s going to be it’s going to create some volatility.

27:36

Now, that’s good. That’s what’s nice about

27:39

Exactly, exactly, you need to get out of the fixation that the myopia gives you. Now, if you can track your nervous system, muscularly awareness, I mean, you’re gonna definitely feel more open and relaxed, as long as you don’t have a strong demand on you. You know, that’s why, you know, I wouldn’t walk in time script and Time Square with this, or odd on the street until that’s not that you want to do it in a very safe environment. Because, again, at some level, and this is what you know, I’ve helped over 10,000 people with nearsighted, this, the big thing for nearsighted people is feeling safe. At some point, I didn’t feel safe. So I had to defend my myself. So my bubble became much closer to me.

So Vision Improvement, really is going to get better when you start in a safe environment. So you can have the space to feel the vulnerability. And then once that releases, then sure 250 is probably going to feel great for you. And don’t worry that you’re not getting the same acuity. If you want that acuity for that particular circumstance, put something on a you need to have that that specific clarity. It’s like you have more than one pair of shoes, you need more than one pair of glasses. Yeah, especially in your in your process. I think that’s going to bring more circulation, it could reduce the blind spot a little, it could give you more peripheral, it’s going to relax your nervous system. It’s going to do so many positive things for you by doing the plus lens and then doing the 250. And you’ll find initially that okay, maybe the left eye is a little blurry. But if you wear it, the astigmatism now will have a direction to unwind itself. I mean, it’s a shame these eye doctors are so out of touch with the fact that she wouldn’t even write you a prescription. She has no concept. She’s a technician. That’s looking for disease and seeing a million people and could care less. That’s not a good person for you. Right because you know you end up getting But what’s the point? The other thing that

30:03

she had said to me, and this isn’t really where I’m at right now. But she was, like I said, I want to lower prescription like, I’m not, I’m not going to wear them in the city. I want them for at home, and I’m a beginner body worker myself. I’m in training. So I work on clients. So I’m up close, and I don’t need to be far away from anybody. And and I don’t really work on the computer. And oh, did it freeze? No, it’s okay. And she said, Francis, I don’t think that it’s realistic for you to think that you’re gonna be seeing 2020 with no glasses on. And I’m not really concerned with never wearing glasses. Again, that’s not where I’m at. But I want to like what do you think is possible? Because also, I’m curious about the blind spot because something about my blind spot doesn’t make sense to me. Where it’s not making sense in that I don’t understand if other things in my body can repair, regenerate make new cells, why can’t my blind spots, but you’re telling me something different, which I’m excited about.

31:12

So look, when I put these on, my retinas are getting a lot of mitochondria stimulation. So what’s happening is my ATP is increasing. My reactive oxygen species, which is another molecule that’s created when you have aging in the eye goes away. So the RLs goes away, the ATP goes up. And so my cells, my retina cells are working, like a 20 year old. You know, there’s no question that aged 40 or so we start developing some, you know, retinal reduction. Now, the tricky thing about this is that, as they call it, BOMA are the cells completely dead. You know, they’re they’re different layers of the retina. And we don’t know, unless we kind of did a biopsy or something. Are those cells getting some kind of stimulation? Or is it just trauma? That happened very early on, and those cells never got the stimulation? I can’t answer that. But what I can say. Yep. But what I can say is that, that blanket statement that’s like, oh, you can never regenerate your vision. Well, that person is completely uninformed. Have you ever heard of the term neuroplasticity? Have you ever heard that there is a way that you can regenerate and create new pathways, and since the eyes are brain tissue, the retina is brain to make that statement is ignorance there that is totally wrong. And you’ve got ophthalmologists in the UK, who are doing the damn research, it’s not some optometrist. In Iowa, that’s, you know, in a garage. Glen Jeffries, he’s a very well respected in the field of neuroscience. At Stanford, I mean, it just just getting two to 10 minutes of morning sunlight changes your dopamine levels, it makes you more alert it, it improves your vision. There’s studies that show this. So that person, what they’re saying, they have no idea what they’re talking about. They’re technicians. Yeah. And I hear this 10 times a day, every day on social media, from all my followers, and something needs to change in the AI profession, because they’re turning off all these people. If I ran my business that way, I’d be out of business. True.

But you know, it’s a, it’s a cartel, you know, they’ve got this thing going on there. And it’s a monopoly. And the thing is, is they don’t even want to hear there’s any improvement. So the bottom line for you is, there’s a couple of things you might want to consider. For example, this nitric oxide situation, I sell something called an optic nerve formula, which has alpha lipoic acid and nitric oxide in it you might consider or your own situation. Number two, I definitely want you to get to get a pair of these read classes, I think they’re going to be really helpful. Number three, I want you to do to the plus lens to blur and the eye patch. And now I want to get to the next subject which is a hard subject for me to bring up for you. And that has to do with the strabismus surgery. Oh yeah. However you get strabismus. You know, that that creates more confusion in the brain eye Communication. So you can still heal that. But it’s another interference that was put on you that let’s just say it’s not serving you. So what I want you to do is with that eyepatch, I want you to do a month of eye dialogue. Now this is a psychological emotional exercise, where you’re going to ask each eye some questions. So you’re going to have to go internal here. And one of the big questions I want you to ask yourself with each eye, is how’s the marriage between your two eyes? How does the left eye feel about the right eye? How does the right I feel about the left eye? Because on a psycho emotional, spiritual level, now we’re talking more energetic? If your two eyes have some disharmony between them inside themselves, there is no way you’re gonna get the depth perception and the visual coordination. I mean, it could be that part of that blind spot is an emotional shutdown that has nothing to do with the coloboma.

36:11

Sometimes I feel like I go on, sorry. You may

36:18

not. And the reason why I say this is because your vision is to evolved. And it’s actually so good. I’ve worked with a lot of people with coloboma, they’re like disabled, you know, they can’t function.

36:37

And they don’t act like

36:42

you’re, you’re working at such a high level, that I’m even what I wondered about that as soon as I met you, I was like, Really, retina? Really? I’m suspect of that. So whatever, whatever’s going on there. It could have been some kind of birth imprint. So another thing that I learned in vision development is one of the three most important

37:14

okay, go on. Just had to get it out. I know you understand?

37:20

Yeah, absolutely. So

37:23

it’s so difficult to feel like you’re handicapped, even though I don’t feel like I am. And it’s that thing that you understand if your whole life, you’re being told that something is wrong with you. And for that reason, you’re not going to live like a normal person. Like I have a driver’s license, I stopped, I stopped driving, because I became so afraid, behind the wheel. And my mother, trying to encourage me to drive again, like I drove when I was in Florida with her, but I was scared out of my mind, and I used to drive. It’s just things have gotten out of hand. Okay, go on. See,

38:03

as you you empower yourself around your vision, that that would probably be a great thing for you to do, even if you do it in a parking lot. Yeah, and God, I don’t even like driving in midtown Manhattan, honestly.

38:18

No, I drove in Florida. No, I wouldn’t drive.

38:21

Nice, you know, yeah, as long as you stay off at 95. But in any case, I actually think you have much better vision. And part of this so called Disability is what these doctors put on you, because they didn’t really know how to, you know, handle you. And I think this person you went to around the Sun tonics was probably one of the first person doctors who at least got it to some degree. So in any case, in any case, I want you to do this dialoguing. It could get emotional, you can do some, you know, dialoguing with it. And so whenever there’s a blind spot, we call that suppression. And I can say almost every person I’ve worked with who’s got some kind of visual suppression, there’s a thread of some psycho emotional block that they they had. So what I was about to say was in your development, gestation in utero, your birth and bonding, you made some decisions visually, and you can make these decisions gestation only believe me, and that those imprints formed a certain pattern in your visual system. I mean, I can tell you, I work with a lot of infants and there is no way in hell that I ever put any You prescriptions on them. Even if they come out, super far sighted, I mean, most kids come out farsighted.

And I’ve I’ve counseled so many parents, where the ophthalmologist doesn’t get to where like A plus seven plus eight plus 10 Are you out of your mind that completely stunts the visual growth of visual development. So in your myopia at minus one or minus two, at that young age, all that says to me is that your visual system is still trying to form that it’s lagging behind possibly your overall development. So the last thing you want to give somebody is a minus lens at that point, that’s just gonna lock down visual development. And then when they do the strabismus surgery, they’re trying to force the eye that’s turning in into looking straight cosmetic, but there isn’t a functional improvement. So the two exercises I want you to do in physical therapy for your eyes. Number one is the eye dialogue. This is for this for business. And number two, I want you to get yourself something called the Magic Eye. There’s a lot of books out there. Okay. Now, when you get the magic iBook you can try this, it’ll work really well with your 250s. Okay. Okay, so I have the Jelly Bean fiction, there’s a million of these, oh, this is

41:30

crazy, I can’t do those are like, wait a minute,

41:33

wait a minute, okay, you’re gonna learn to do them. And that’s going to help your driving. So this is how you do it. You put it up to your nose. Okay, the book is on my nose and mentally, I am now imagining myself looking through the book. Imagining, imagining, imagining, imagining, and I’m looking through it, I’m looking at the spaces. And all of a sudden, I’m starting to see the jelly beans floated. And when they start to float, now your right eye and left eye are communicating with each other. I think part of the reason why you haven’t been able to see 3d is because you have the strabismus surgery, it gave you some kind of cosmetic improvement. But functionally, you don’t connect with the right eye as well as the left eye. Like I’ll be really curious. When you get into the dialogue, how your right eye sees itself married or not married to the left eye.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the right eye says married I don’t know. Or the left eye or something. Some there’s some disharmony between your internal vision and that needs to be brought into the light. So you have several things today that I want you to bring into the light, the plus lens the blur, the eye dialogue, the NOAA astigmatism prescription the magic eye the red light therapy, possibly, you know making sure you’re adding you know boosting your nutrients and you know you might consider in my supplements, do my formula. Do the past Xanthan. Do the nitric oxide get the MSM eyedrops.

Maybe the castor oil eyedrops, if you’re going to do MSM during the day and you can do castor oil before bed. Right on the eyelids. It’s kind of like an ointment. So those would be some things that I’d like you to work with that for somewhere between a month and three months. And then we can do another session. Okay. And see, we’ll see just what’s come out what’s come up. So what this is like, is this is like your rebirthing. Okay, you’re in the birth canal, you’re now going to come out of the birth canal. And you’re going to do these things, and it’s going to be informative for you. And we’re going to let go of this 2020 Without glasses, this the blind. So in other words, the more you let go of the result. In my case, I was very focused on 2020 Without glasses, and my doctor said to me, Sam, give it up. Give it up. You have to let go of the results of seeing 2020 I said Dr. Shankman, I cannot do that. He says Well, that’s what it’s going to take.

And I went back to Philadelphia, and for three months, I stood in it I was doing my exercises. And one day I woke up and I forgot to put my contacts and I was late to go to the office. And I’m on the Schuylkill expressway. And I’m like, oh, there’s my ex, oh my God, I don’t know my context. And it was a complete surprise. So what whatever what’s going to happen? We don’t know, I can tell you some really good things are gonna happen. But you can have the intention. Okay, I want to see 2020 without my glasses, could you do that? Absolutely. There’s nothing in your way. So you have the intention, and then let it go. And say I gotta go inside, develop more self awareness, more somatic connection. Whole body seeing, I’m seeing with my whole body, not just through my eyeballs. When you’re nearsighted. We just become very eye centric, very macular centric, actually. And we cut everything else off. objectify got to see it, I got to see clearly I gotta identify it.

I got to think about it. I got to analyze it, I got to judge it. That’s what myopia is. And so the more that’s why the blurred vision is great for you, because it’s kind of like ah, space. But I only want you to do that locked in your bedroom. And then you can come out to your bedroom after that. And you go, man, I see things pretty clearly without my lenses. Yeah. So that that though, these are my suggestions and recommendations, I would burn everything that all those other eye doctor said to you, because they got it wrong. You know, and one of Jacobs books he says is book taking off your glasses. And C says, wearing nearsighted lenses is like living in a maximum security prison.

46:55

Mm hmm. Yeah, I feel that way. about it. Yeah, true.

46:59

Right, exactly. So when you go to the doctor, they are they’re reinforcing your prison stay. So you know, the Stockholm Syndrome, the door swings open, you can now come out No, no, I feel more familiar in the cell. Well, I’m saying, hey, come out, I did it. I’ve had 10,000 people do it, you can do it too. And I’ll step off be with you every step of the way. And actually, you’ll have a much easier time. You know, in optometry school, they told me in the first year, you will never improve a person’s prescription. And if you run across the Bates method, eye exercises, put it out of your head. I remember that professor. And I was in the back with one of my friends saying that’s what I want to go into dates. Because I knew it was bullshit, what they were saying, you know, it was so medical, that I knew there was other things out there. And I even went back after I reduced my myopia. And they said, Well, I anecdotal. You know, we can, what do you want me to do? Good luck, you know. And that’s why I’m not really into the professional situation, because it’s like, it’s a different tribe. And so, we’re coming, we’re coming down towards the end. Any questions about anything I’ve talked about? I think you got a lot of upside here.

48:35

I think I do too. I’m gonna do all of this stuff. It’s all totally doable, achievable for me. The other part of the coloboma that I do have is the pupils. I do have the full pupils. Do you know anything about that?

48:53

Is it in both? Yeah. Is it in both eyes? Or is it just right? Okay. So what so you don’t have light sensor? You don’t have light sensitivity? Is that correct? Yeah. Okay, because that’s, that’s usually a symptom. When the color BOMA is in the pupil and the iris. So if you don’t have light sensitivity, let me ask this question. How is your focus up close? Like can you see print as clear as you want? Is there any inhibition or interference?

49:28

I’m a terrible reader. I

49:29

hate Well, that’s not that’s not that’s not that so much to call a BOMA. That’s the strabismus and the strabismus surgery. Okay. And so I don’t think you’re using their two eyes together on a functional level. That’s why I want you to play around with the 3d. The magic is stuff. I think right now. It’s kind of like a birthmark for you. It’s kind of like, okay, this is what I got kissed. By God, and these these places, but I don’t really see it being an inhibitor, and you going all the way? It’s more of like, you know, a badge of honor than it’s affecting you functionally? Yeah, so I don’t I don’t, I don’t think it’s a big deal. I just think, you know, like, I’ll look at somebody’s retina and I’ll say, Oh, I see Neva. So I’ll see mole, I’ll see this, I’ll see that. And, you know, we’ll rule out cancer and other things. And it’s just a mark that’s there, you know, like you can have in any part of your body. I really don’t think it’s a big deal. And I’m sorry to say, I think there was so much emphasis by these doctors on this call a BOMA conversation that I think it inhibited. What truly your essence is around your vision. And I wouldn’t be surprised if most if not all of your myopia was just created as a way for you to have some kind of a safe haven. I think so. And that most are just, you know, it’s old. You know, myopia is about being caught in the past, it’s a past way of seeing. And when you get the lens, it keeps that past still, you know, stored in your eyeballs. That’s why I think the plus lens and the i dialog is going to be extremely helpful for you. And bringing your eyes forward to a much more pleasant state of, of consciousness. So there’s so much more here, there’s so much more than I want to share with you. But that’ll be for our next time. Yeah, I want to bring more of your brain into stuff. We’ll do your movements. We can do things like essential oils and sound healing and color and light. But I think right now you’re your best friend

52:04

is the red. Great,

52:07

this is really going to get a really target the retina, which, you know, the research is pretty bulletproof. It’s really good at that it’s doing something positive. So, all right, any final words? I think you’re so open and so ready to crack this open that? Yeah. So do you need a written prescription for me? Or can you just go online and get the 250s

52:38

I’m just gonna make it myself. No problem. I’m going to make them right. Okay. The other amazing news,

52:43

any support? Go ahead.

52:47

Oh, no, it was just silly that the lower my prescription is the cheaper the glasses ours, that’s also less

52:54

likely. I mean, that’s why it’s such a great business model. I remember a CPA saying man, you’re in a good profession because every year you make the glasses stronger they gotta come back the thicker the lens the more you charge them. Yeah. When I when I said but use my prescription i i get people with he said you’re in the wrong profession. He was he was a CPA guy he was saying that’s why the eye doctors do you know Cohen’s optical and all those places in New York. I mean, you know, they keep you coming back. So I know you’re gonna you’re gonna defy the norm, which is fabulous.

53:31

Yeah, I’ve already been on this path. I’m, I’m so excited that we talked today. This is brilliant. You’re like, you have so much going on. This is brilliant. I’m so excited. I knew somehow that you were gonna have something for me that I hadn’t thought of or knew about yet, because I felt like I had learned everything I could on my own. And this is brilliant. Um, the the farsighted glasses is brilliant. I cannot wait to do that today. Much I feel so much hope. Oh, you’re welcome. Okay. Yeah.

54:08

Yeah, well, it’s not false hope. It’s like you’ve got so much here. You’re not accessing. And you’ve just been given the wrong information. So I mean, it’s going to be Yeah, of course, it’s going to be that. Okay, well, I’m gonna go so keep in touch with me. We’ll send you a copy of this. And let’s plan to talk somewhere in a month to three months I’ll leave that up to you. When you’re ready. And you feel like you want to number jolt. Please contact me you know, well, we’ll get some more rocket fuel, your, your healing,

54:43

amazing. If I for whatever reason, need the written prescription. I’ll just call your office.

54:49

No, you just call me I’m happy to get it to you. I’ve got you know, my licenses on here. And you know, that’s why I keep getting my license renewed. I have to Gotta do these medical courses that are not my thing, but I go so I can continue to be legal to help people like you. Because as you found out most of these people, they’re not going to do it for you. And that’s too bad. You know, it’d be Yeah, I

55:16

know. I know. There’s major issues in that world. So thank you so much. I’m very,

55:23
