Subject: Scientific truth-telling - and why it is never done in "medicine".
There are those who will object to Dr. Alex. I do not. I support the goal of true-prevention.
In fact, I asked critical questions in a doctor's office - and was lied to by his SILENCE. Here are the questions I asked.
http://myopiafree.wordpress.com/about-me/It was my efforts to find the right answer to these questions that led me to Dr. Raphaelson (who is similar to Dr. Alex - if the helps you understand).
The deep truth is this. Johann Kepler (in 1590) did 14 years of intense close work. His natural eyes changed their refractive STATE from about +1/2 diopter to -2 diopters - due to this type of close work. He found that a -2 diopter cleared his vision - so he wore it. (Even he guessed that the 14 years of close work created negative status for his totally natural eyes.) He was right in that judgment.
Today, the same, minus is used massively on the general public. There has been no one to challenge 1) The problem of long-term close work on the refractive STATE of all natural eyes, and 2) The minus lens that is now proven to make matters far worse.
I maintain that what Dr. Alex is presenting (for FREE) can benefit you if you take his site seriously - as I do.
The only "line" that I draw is this - you must start this preventive process BEFORE your Snellen goes much below 20/40. You can also expect the "silent treatment" if you ask questions in an OD's office.
So - who is telling scientific truth?
The fact that Todd had to figure this out (from Brian Severson's suggestions) speaks volumes about the effect of the extreme pressure on Dr. Alex - to SHUT HIS SITE DOWN.
He has EVERY RIGHT TO PROTECT HIS IDENITY - you would do the same thing in his position.
This is why I trust Todd when he states he got his vision back to normal - by wearing the plus - and by objective checking his own Snellen. Now I know for certain that no OD or MD would ever help him.
Now - tell me I am wrong about this assessment.
