BATES
METHOD NUGGETS IN PAPERBACK
At the end of July I will
receive the first box of books from the printer, so the Bates Method
Nuggets book is now available for pre-order!
If you order it by July 27th, it will be sent to you
free of shipping cost.
For only $15 you can be one of the very first to own this brand new book!
The book has 128 pages, and 22
chapters. Each chapter covers
a part of the Bates Method, and contains articles that Dr. Bates himself
wrote between 1919 and 1930. Dr.
Bates considered these specific articles to be the most important ones to
keep for reference. I believe
that reading this book will be a great help in understanding the Bates
method, and that it makes a great companion volume to Dr. Bates' 1920 book
'Perfect Sight Without Glasses'.
To order the Bates Method
Nuggets book, either make a donation for $15
(using debit/credit/paypal), or send a US check to the
address shown here. Please
specify that you are ordering the paperback version, unless you would
rather have the e-book, which will remain available also.

RAW HEALTH EXPO
The 2nd Raw Health Expo will take place at the end of this
month in Sebastopol, California, and both days I will be giving a talk
about natural vision improvement. There
will be many other speakers giving talks on various health topics,
including Michael Klaper, MD, the author of 'Vegan Nutrition, Pure and
Simple.'
This expo was a great event last year and I look forward to seeing
some of you there! You will
find more information at www.rawhealthexpo.com.

2nd
BRITISH NATURAL EYESIGHT CONFERENCE
Just a reminder to keep your calendar free for the very best conference on
the Bates Method! 29-31 October 2010 in Felden Lodge, Hemel
Hempstead, England. I will talk about Dr. Bates work with children
on Saturday morning, and give a workshop on astigmatism on Sunday evening.
You'll find more info here.

Dr. BATES ON
EYESTRAIN
All
eye trouble is caused by strain. If the normal eye strains to read at a
near point, it becomes far-sighted. If the eye strains to read at a
distance, it becomes near-sighted - always.
But this condition is only temporary. Remove the strain and the
eyes become normal.
- The Bridgeport Telegram, 9 March 1922
When one's mind is under a strain one
unconsciously tightens the muscles which encircle the eyeball, and
consequently squeeze it out of shape and out of focus.
But when the mind is at rest these muscles are relaxed and the
eyeball is allowed to assume its proper shape and focus.
-
Better Eyesight magazine, May 1923
The ways in which people strain to see are
infinite, and the methods used to relieve the strain must be almost
equally varied. Whatever the
method that brings most relief, however, the end is always the same,
namely relaxation.
-
Perfect Sight Without Glasses, page 10
It has been demonstrated in thousands of cases
that all abnormal action of the external muscles of the eyeball is
accompanied by a strain or effort to see, and that with the relief of this
strain the action of the muscles becomes normal and all errors of
refraction disappear.
