    Redhot Jumper Throw away your glasses............................

    Just got this in the e-mail and want to share.........................



    "Dr. Bates Discovered a Scientifically Proven Way To Have a Perfect Vision Naturally, And Finally Reveal The Unbelievably Easy, Step-By-Step Actions You Could Already Be Taking To Throw Away Your Glasses or Contact Lenses.”



    ---------------------------------------

    Wikipedia on Dr Bates:

    William Horatio Bates (December 23, 1860 – July 10, 1931) was an American physician who practiced ophthalmology and developed what became known as the Bates Method for better eyesight,[1] an educational method intended to improve vision by undoing a supposed habitual strain to see. The efficacy of the method is questionable, and his theory that the eye does not focus by changing the power of the lens, but rather by elongating the eyeball, through use of the extraocular oblique muscles, was contradicted by mainstream ophthalmology and optometry of his day and still is today.[2][3]

    Often these sleezoids are selling laziness (don't have to put on glasses, take care of glasses). This guy is selling fear (can't make the bathroom; "rush of panic"; "frighten you"; "dangerous"; "terrified of negative long-term effects"; "losing your eyesight"; "vision gets worse each time you slide your lens handle over your ear". The main target (besides the elderly, everybody's favorite prey) appears to be potential Lasik patients who FEAR SURGERY!!!! I also like page 5 where we learn that kids give each other myopia by talking about it.
