Raw Figure:

I read that this is a possibilty in the Hallelujah acres book....the author wore glasses for 40+ years then the transition in his diet and eventually does not need glasses at all :)

CONGRATULATIONS- I am trying this myself too! I will keep you updated :)

FF :cool:

[Rawkinlocs]

That's wonderful!! Congrats! That's what I think's gonna happen to me next time I go because my glasses seem to kinda "bother" me now...like I may need a weaker prescription. Sure hope so...hope to one day be OUT of these glasses once and for all!

[rawpriestess]

yep, I am now wearing glasses that I wore 10 years ago, my old prescription was wayyyyy too high, LOL


the Doctor thought he made a mistake, I told him I only raw fruits and veggies nuts seeds and sprouted grains, and he said, well if that works, keep doing it.

LOL

Congratulations!

This is such a testimony to the raw life. Woo hooo!

This is good news, too as I am going to get my eyes checked next month.

What do you think you are eating/not eating to get such an improvement in your vision?

I'm really wanting to improve my vision. I'm supposed to wear glasses/contacts, but I never do except when driving at night or in adverse weather. I also wear them at church so I can see the screen to sing the songs. I have something called Yoga for Your Eyes, but the exercises take so long that I've never been faithful at doing them.

[robertandenith]

oh wow!!! that's some great news!!!

[rawpriestess]

I think it is more what I'm NOT eating than what I AM eating,

I wasn't eating any dairy or meat, so that isn't it,

I don't eat processed foods or sugar or wheat, I think THAT is it, no processed foods or sugar or wheat.

As RP says I do think it is things we no longer eat but also what I did change in the diet w/in last 9 months is :

Added fruit 2-3 whole fruits a day. I ate litttle to none before.
More Veggies. I do 1-2 green drinks everyday full of greens, in the drink I get a full head of Kale or other dark green, Romaine, a few cucumbers and a whole big bunch of celery daily, large bunch of parsley too.

Are you juicing these ingredients, or whipping it up in a blender?

That is AWESOME news, thanks for sharing it! Woo-hoo! How exciting for you. :)

Rawfigure,
that is so awesome! Congratulations on such a big improvement in your vision!! :D yay I love raw

[learningrawways]

Wow, that is so great!!! It gives hope to those of us who wear glasses and sit in front of computers and watch our eyes get worse as the years pass.

[rawfigure]

I juice the greens I listed. I tried the blender and that works to but I find I have to strain some of the fiber out to make it drinkable !

I also eat ALOT of red cabbage, I slice it and it eat alone as a snack.

[chilove]

That is awesome!!!

I think it would be funny if my eyesight got better than it already is... I've had at least 20/15 vision since I was young (may actually be 20/10, but the doc didn't check to that point). It's been awesome because my parents are both nearsighted and were younger than I am now when they first needed glasses. If my sight improved to 20/5 or 20/1, I'd just have to giggle.

My fiance has so-so vision though and has to wear glasses. In fact, he recently got a stronger prescription, but it had been 2-3 years since he'd had an eye exam. It would be super-awesome if raw food could improve his vision, because he doesn't like glasses much and we've seriously talked about getting him Lasik eventually.

Wow! That is so incredible....and so wonderful! :)

[LeanAndHungry]

For those who have improved, can you give specifics, such as the strength of the prescriptions before and after in either diopters(ie, +1.50 or -3.00, etc.), or in acuity(ie 20/60, 20/200, etc)?

I was just reading "Food as Medicine" by Dharma Sing Khalsa M.D.

The Bilberry fruit has been researched and proven to stimulate blood floww to the retina- thus improving ones vision....QUESTION: What is a Bilberry and where do you get them? Has anyone ever heard this? or tried a Bilberry?

Take Care,
FF ;)

This is such good news! Congratulations.

FF, I looked up bilberry and it's the blueberry - or closely related to them. Here's a page at wikipedia... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilberry
