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.

Hey, everybody, it’s Dr. Sam and I’d like to welcome you to another EyeClarity podcast. So today I’m giving a session to somebody who’s been been diagnosed with glaucoma, floaters, dry eye, and myopia, the big four. So in this session, I map out a plan, a plan of action. And one of the key things that came out in the section in the session is the difference between the authority model and the empowerment model. And one of the things I learned many years ago was that when a patient comes to see me, we’re partners in their health journey. And even though I’ve got some knowledge and expertise and so on, it’s really we need to work together. And perhaps they’re things that I might recommend, but a person says, you know, that’s not going to work for me. And so I learned early on that this partnership model empowering patients to develop their, you know, their style of how they need to apply either the physical therapy, exercise recommendations, and the nutritional guidelines and other things that I suggest that they have a say in it. And that comes out very strongly in this session. So I hope you enjoy the show. Thanks for tuning in.
02:17
So, I’ve read over your detailed history. I’ve also looked at the things you’ve sent me.
02:27
What would be your ideal goals and objectives today? Like what do you want to get from me that you haven’t gotten from the other doctors? You know, based on your glaucoma, and some of the other things around your optic nerve and visual field, your astigmatism your myopia. Where would you like to start? And what do you How can I help you?
02:54
Yes, so I would like to see one ascertain the diagnosis.
03:00
Based on what you’ve seen, to to
03:07
heal it, I want I want to I want to say treat it by heal it naturally. I really had a call with the eyedrops they’re giving me and I did not like the energy of it, how it was very
03:24
frightening. And you know, the possibility of being blinded or blind
03:34
with a glaucoma. And yeah, so this is there’s a lot of heavy energy around my eyes, obviously. So I would like to clear that I would like to Yeah, improve my eyesight and certainly, I mean, is it possible to heal glaucoma? So when do I have it?
03:56
It was almost like the first guy was on the fence until I said my brother has the diagnosis and I don’t even want to say I have it. i There is a diagnosis. I don’t want to own it. So, yes.
04:14
So why don’t we start with glaucoma? This is a very
04:19
How can I say it’s a very difficult thing to actually diagnose.
04:28
And when I was in my internship, I went to school in Philadelphia and one of our rotations was with Hahnemann medical. And so I at that point, I was ghosting these, following these ophthalmologists who were specializing in it and every day I would hear them say, you know, we’re just not sure we’ve got this situation. We’ve got that situation. It’s very difficult to diagnose. That’s why they call it
05:00
Glaucoma suspect he sounds like a criminal, right? I’m a suspect. And so I fast forward and I took a pretty deep seminar on December in San Diego, and it was three days on glaucoma. And these are the world renowned international experts on glaucoma. And again, you know, with all the testing that they have, and all the different tools, what they said was that, you know, it’s very difficult to diagnose this. It is certainly a condition that affects the circulation in the eyes. Specifically, it’s either that we’re not producing enough fluid that’s able to be circulated or there are some obstacles and transport system, they call the one of the systems is called the trabecular meshwork.
06:05
And when I read your story about from 20 was a 2019. You had in parentheses, low pressure glaucoma diagnosis, and, but they’re not really sure. Well, the one thing I can say to you is that with your current prescription, at that level,
06:33
the tendency functionally and I’m speaking functionally about how you use your eyes, is you’re using your eyes
06:43
in a way that would mimic glaucoma. Meaning that when somebody is that nearsighted, what do they do? They tunnel their vision. And when they wear such a lens like you do, they begin to exclude their peripheral vision habitually. So it’s almost though subliminally, your myopia is like glaucoma. Now that isn’t really talked about in the medical circles, because all they’re doing is they’re just looking in a moment a snapshot of the structure of the eye.
07:27
And they’re not looking at holistically how the eyes Connect. Say, for example, I saw you did a gallbladder cleanse liver gallbladder. Well, in Chinese when I studied acupuncture many years ago, in our early classes, we learned how liver gallbladder affect our eyes. And then when I studied functional medicine, I found that people that didn’t produce enough bile in the liver produces the bile and the gallbladder stores it if they didn’t produce enough of that. There’s no way they could absorb the very important fat soluble vitamins like vitamin A, for your eyes, lutein and zeaxanthin, fat soluble, so that we when I started to prescribe things like bile salts, and or pancreatic enzymes, they’re dry went away, their night vision got better. So things kind of happened based on the relationship between the liver and the gallbladder just as a as an example. So they’re all these connections, like you do Reiki, okay? So energetically, the eyes are the organ of light. That’s how we, you know, it’s how we see based on the light coming in.
08:48
And you may have seen on my social media content, I’ve been following an ophthalmologist in the UK named Glen Jeffries, Jeffrey’s lab, and he did a study on red light on retina on the retina of people who had retinal degeneration, all kinds of retina issues. And he found that the red light actually improved. The subjects visual acuity by 22%. That’s unheard of. We’re talking about a red color. But what happened was is that the red actually stimulated the mitochondria, which live in a very high concentration in the retina. And you know, mitochondria are those energy producing cells that produce something called ATP.
09:41
And when a person normally ages, their mitochondria starts reducing its function after about the age of 40. And so less ATP, more oxidative stress and inflammation. And so
10:00
This red light flipped the switch. I don’t hear ophthalmologist talking about that.
10:08
Even at this meeting, I was, I was thankfully and we let me say this one more thing. And then because this is related to glaucoma, there’s actually a very good study that’s done that was done on meditation and bringing high pressure down.
10:23
Now, in your case, I don’t know that you have an eye pressure issue, but it definitely reduced the glaucoma pattern or again, the suspicion of it.
10:34
So I interrupted you there, what would you like to say, based on some of my early or opening remarks? Sure. It’s just when I was a child, we went to the eye doctor, and this was back in Taiwan. And I remember, they would have a sit in front of red lights afterwards, and I thought, oh, so yes, I that did connect for me when you posted about that. So I just wanted to say that. Okay, yeah, that’s, that’s interesting. Yes.
11:06
So, so So the question here, what we have to do is we have to come up with a strategy
11:13
to increase the vascular health and robustness in your retinal vessels. You know, the another thing that came out in this Jeffrey’s lab study, which you probably already know, is that the eyes have the highest metabolic and energetic need in the entire body.
11:35
And when I read that, and then I talked to some other neuroscientists there, they’re like, Yeah, that’s obvious, because there’s such a high concentration of blood vessels in the retina.
11:47
And these micro capillary blood vessels, they need a lot of nutrients.
11:54
So the strategy here is
11:58
how can you increase your vascular health in your eyes to your eyes, that’s lined up with you.
12:12
And that is natural and integrative instead of using synthetically made pharmaceutical drugs.
12:20
Because you’re not the only one that’s chemically sensitive. Those eyedrops I’ve tried them, and they make my eyes red. They make them dry. They burn headache.
12:34
Headache, I actually in one of the glaucoma meds, I felt nauseous. I felt like I was gonna throw up. I had heart palpitations, I never get those. So you know, those eyedrops are a court of last resort, and they don’t even really work that well, honestly. No, so they’re just not it’s not lined up with you. So so the thing is, is do you have glaucoma? I’m not sure. You’ve got some symptoms and signals, but you also have this myopia thing going on. And as I said, it is, in some ways, it’s another form of a type of glaucoma, because myopia definitely tightens up your eyes. It’s a tightening
13:28
experience. And when you wear a prescription from an eye doctor, guess what happens? It just gets reinforced. Yeah, it’s like this
13:38
exam. Do it’s like right now, on a practical level, you can’t just throw your glasses away.
13:51
I would love to because I see that your story? Yes. Yes. But then, but then if you just throw them away,
14:01
how would you drive? How would you know function in the world? And that’s an important part to this. Like, we want to do this in a grounded way.
14:11
And submit in spaced way,
14:15
you know, as well, yeah. So what I wanted to lay out, this is how I’d like to work with you. I would like to make some recommendations.
14:29
Your job is to say that doesn’t feel right to me. And I’m gonna go Okay. Here’s five other things. And you might say I like number one and number three. Okay. So there’s so many different ways to increase your vascular health in your eyes. And it’s kind of sad that in the medical I know that offices you go to because I trained in those. There isn’t a lot of room for
15:00
Our exploration of more holistic type therapies.
15:06
But I’ve been at this almost four decades, and I’ve gone back to massage school, I do cranial work, I’m an acupuncture, herbal, there’s some great herbs for vascular health, you know, and also, there’s some physical things that you can do, we can talk about maybe some type of vision improvement, physical therapy type exercises to help reduce your myopia. You know, by the way, the dry eyes and the floaters, they’re all part of the same family, which is, you’re not getting enough mitochondria action,
15:51
you need to get more hydration, and oxygenation.
15:56
And if you do those things, then all of this could shift. And one of the ways I think about glaucoma, whether you have it or not, is that a lot of my patients, what they’ve done is because their vascular health has gotten so much more robust. That particular, it’s kind of like a software program that’s kind of running in the background, but it’s not really having any effect on the system. So that because your vascular health gets so robust, and you make such a leap of improvement, that, you know, the ophthalmologist is probably going to say, Well, we’ll see you once a year, things are stable, you know, they never admit that things get better. But if they say the word, well, I’ll see in a year or two or you know,
16:54
it’s not changing, then you know, that from their perspective, you’ve, you’ve made some big changes. And I’ve had 1000s and 1000s of patients, over the years go back to their ophthalmologist, and they go well, you know, has it gotten worse. So we’ll let it go for now.
17:18
So what I wanted, what I want to do is I want to go through
17:24
your list of things that you have been taking, or what you’re doing.
17:35
So I would say that
17:40
number one, the first thing you did, which was very positive as you switched yourself out of progressive lenses. Yes, so these are 20 years old. Yeah.
17:51
Now, the thing is, is that just like you have more than one pair of shoes, Mm hmm. Really having more than one pair of glasses, based on the distance you’re focusing at is going to be another possible helpful remedy. So what I’m saying is, is that
18:19
this, this prescription is 20 years old, okay? How does that relate to your ability to drive if you’re still doing that looking in the distance, and if you are seeing well in the distance, that prescription needs to be checked, because it may be too strong for you for your 20 inch experience, or your 14 inch experience. And there’s a really cool vision improvement process in myopia, especially, where whatever prescription you’ve got for distance, you reduce it by 20, or 30%. And that becomes your indoor prescription, that eventually, because it’s less than the distance, it will relax your vision and open it up, because it’s a softer prescription. And it may eventually become your distance, which then you can reduce again.
19:22
So
19:25
you know, I’m happy if you want to stay with the prescription 20 years ago, it would be good to know what that baseline is. And is it too strong for you for your computer and reading or you know what it is and so I I don’t know what’s in those glasses. But that might be something for you to to explore if you want to or you might say I’m happy where I am. Let’s move on. So what are your What are your thoughts on that? Um,
20:00
So I can drive with these. And they seem to be okay on the computer. And I would say that, but if I’m reading fine print, like the TV Guide, that’s where I have to do this, pick them up, or actually knows what the map so I can see a little better.
20:22
So be what might be nice is to figure out what the numbers are in that prescription.
20:30
Okay, and then see if you could get something less as a second pair. And when you said less, how much less? Like one, maybe 20, maybe, maybe maybe 20%? Less? Again, our Do you think it’s still around minus 10? Do you think it’s less than that, the other thing I would consider is I would get the same inscription in each eye.
20:58
And I would get no astigmatism in the lenses to allow your vision to have more space, and flexibility and versatility. So I’ll make it deal.
21:11
If you can go to an optical place, and just have them figure out what’s in that prescription and you send it to me,
21:21
then what I can do is I can take the numbers, and I will reduce it by say 20%. And I’ll balance it. So both lenses are the same.
21:35
And I’ll take the astigmatism out. Wow. And this will be like a vision exercise for you. Because as I said, any lens that you wear reinforces what’s already in the eyeball. And probably no eye doctor is going to want to do that for you. Because they’re into correcting you for the smallest letter possible. So that would be an option for you. If you want to do that, again, we work we’re working together in a partnership. So if you want to do it, I would recommend it. It was very helpful to me to have my doctor prescribe something much less. And you know what, when I was when I started to wear it to work, you know, it was practicing. After about a week, my staff, I asked them if I was any different. And they said you know you’re softer, you’re more relaxed or a little more open. You’re not as stressed. So it changed the energy. Mm hmm. Yes.
22:40
transfers energy into the body through the eyes. Yes. So I like to try that. Yeah, how do you go about, so go to the optician, then I don’t need to go to optometrist. Right. So go to a go to like, maybe even, you know an optician or like a peripheral vision. Or you could go to one of the chains. And you could say, You know what, I know this prescriptions old. My optometrist just wants to know what’s in these glasses. I know the prescriptions expired. Can you at least write it out for me and I’ll, I’ll fax it to him. And they’ll do that for you just go to an optical place. You don’t need to go to an eye doctor. Right?
23:26
Yeah, no, no, then they’ll write it out for you, you know, in the language, I understand it, and then just email it to me scan it and email it to me. And then I will take it and I’ll come up with something that’s much less that’s balanced. So a technique that I learned was that by correcting both eyes for the same starts to encourage both eyes to work together, even if one eye is more blurry than the other.
23:58
Okay, okay. Yeah, there’s a little bit of blur on this. I don’t know if the floater thing um, Can I also add I have like varicose veins, so that’s a circular issue too. So I’m resonating with the whole circulation issue. And digesting fat is an issue for me too. So
24:21
there’s two things you can do on that. I’m going to be releasing in about a month, two products, one that’s going to support the gallbladder and include bile salts, and also pancreatic enzyme as well. And I think that those two things would be really great for you and you take them after a meal, get dry once a day and just see how that is. But we need to get more nutrients into your eyes. That’s that’s one thing that I when I reviewed your everything you sent me
25:00
Eat. That was the first thing that came to me is that we need to somehow get more nutrients to your eyes. So you’re absorbing them. Mm hmm.
25:10
So you’ll look for those one is a pancreatic enzyme and the other is a gallbladder support. It’s all herbal. And
25:21
I’ve been in research and development for a long time with it. So it’s going to work. So if you can wait, it’ll be up in a couple of weeks, we’re just getting our labels done and
25:34
final stages. But in the meantime, the prescription so you’ll get that to me. Okay, then there’s an eye exercise I’m going to recommend for you, and you may have seen it online. It’s become kind of famous now.
25:54
But it’s an exercise where in a
25:58
very safe environment like locked in your bedroom. That’s the only place you can do this exercise
26:05
you get, you go to the drugstore. And you get yourself a pair of what we call plus lenses. So you wear minus lenses near sighted people where minus farsighted people wear plus.
26:21
And you go to the drugstore, and you get the strongest pair of plus lenses, they’re called magnifiers. But you’re going to use it as an exercise lens
26:31
you buy.
26:33
And also while you’re there, get an eyepatch
26:37
come home. Okay, you come home, you sit in your bedroom, take off your regular glasses, and you patch your left eye. It’s going to be really blurry for you. And you just look through the right eye. And you get a baseline This is how I see for the right eye. No judgment, this is it, it’s blurred. And then you take that magnification lens and you put it on over the right I
27:06
put it on. And for the next minute, I want you to process and observe mentally, what comes up for you, when you look through that level of blur. Let me give you some examples. I put on the blurry glasses, I’m feeling afraid. I’m out of control.
27:29
I don’t like blur because I like detail that gives me comfort.
27:34
I don’t like this blur because I could get injured, I could get hurt. So whatever your story is, you’re gonna see it. And that’s what you keep telling your eyes 24/7.
27:49
And that hyper vigilance that you’ve put through your eyeball is part of the reason why your eyes are letting you down. That’s a lot of red alert.
28:03
I got to be on on guard all the time.
28:07
And say that for a minute. And here’s where I would like you to go with it during that minute. Can you begin to relax into the blur.
28:19
Here in the present moment, nobody’s asking you to do anything, except be in the present moment.
28:28
And you’re gonna find after that one minute, you take those blurry glasses off and your right eye is gonna start to see more clearly.
28:36
You’re gonna say, Well, I think things might be a little clearer.
28:40
And you do it, you do it three times, on off on every minute, three minutes, each time you take a measurement. And by that third time, when you’re done, you put the plus lenses down. And then you take the patch off the left eye and you’re gonna notice immediately things are brighter, clearer and you’re better peripheral vision.
29:05
All the things that neutralize what they say glaucoma does to you. It makes it dark, it’s tunneled. You know, it’s duck dough, it’s dim, but whatever.
29:18
What you just did there as you created a new pathway in the brain, and also in the eyes because the eyes are really just the outer part of the brain. I mean part of the eyeball is brain.
29:32
So right there, you created new pathways, and you created more light coming in and more relaxation.
29:41
And you patch the right eye and you do the same thing on the left. Same thing three times. And you know your left eye might experience is completely different than the rain. I don’t know.
29:53
You do that exercise every day for a month
29:57
and you’re wearing my reduced
30:00
prescription full time, you will have reduced your myopia, your astigmatism, and created much more relaxation and better circulation in your eyes. Because mentally you’re more relaxed.
30:18
Okay, so I have
30:21
Yeah, that sounds.
30:23
So do that daily for a month. And yep. So in terms of those glasses, it doesn’t matter how
30:32
high the magnification is, it’s whatever that’s available, because I’ve seen 2.53 Maybe, and,
30:41
okay, it’s not gonna matter, it’s not gonna matter. Just get the highest number they sell. If it’s a 2.5. It’s not about the number. Anything in the range is going to do the job. We don’t we don’t need to be precise. Okay, not gonna make any sense at all. Okay, it’s more for you to experience, learn,
31:05
and get comfortable in the blur.
31:08
Because I would predict
31:13
that if we unpacked mentally, your relationship, the blur somewhere deep inside of you, you don’t like it?
31:26
I can tell you right now.
31:29
Go ahead, tell me. So it just so happens that intuitively I download images. And but when I get confused, that’s the first thing that goes away is the blur.
31:46
Or I don’t know how I’m rolling out my practice, for example. So when that vision idea of vision is blocked,
31:55
I get really confused. And I’m very clear person. So yes, that mentally is a thing for me, as well. So what this is going to do is it’s just gonna reset it so that your poor eyes don’t have to get that level of
32:15
communication because it’s not helping you. It’s hurting you. Yes. I, I would say that, you know, whatever these doctors are picking up glaucoma. Noga who knows, right? But from an empowered point of view, if you can really handle and shift that,
32:37
then whatever they’re saying is irrelevant, it doesn’t matter anymore. Because you are now in control around how you’re going to relate to your eyes.
32:55
In the present moment. And this isn’t so much about getting rid of glasses. I mean, you could. But that’s not the goal, the goal is for you to develop much more care and conscious relaxation into your eyes. Because, you know, I’ll say this, you could take the fanciest vitamin, you could use those red glasses, you could, you know, whatever you could do. But this is a lynchpin that could really open up your circulation.
33:34
Okay, I can’t tell you how important it is for you to mentally get a handle on this level of,
33:45
you know, angst that you have put into your eyes. And I’m here to say on the other side of it is
33:54
I want you to see clearly, no doubt, I want you to see, I don’t want you to be walking around in a blur. But what I want is for you to have more awareness, mentally on how you relate to your eyes, and the blur. So another thing that you can do in the in the spirit of this exercise is to
34:20
in non demanding situations, take your glasses off a little bit. Maybe you’re already doing that. Again, I want to emphasize non demanding non threatening situations. So if you take your glasses off, and you start feeling anxious, or you start getting frustrated, that’s your signal, put the glasses on and do what you need to do.
34:45
You know you practice Vision Improvement only in safe situations. Because again, if I dug deep enough with you, I know that there’s something around your nearsightedness
35:00
And you not feeling completely safe.
35:05
And we don’t need to name it and go into, you know, deep trauma therapy. I’m just saying,
35:14
you know, on a Sunday, if you don’t have anything going on right away, do a little vision retreat where you take your glasses off and experience your life through the blur, and use it as a as a spiritual teaching. Oh, so I noticed without my glasses on.
35:42
I’m more intuitive. Or
35:46
I’m thinking about things that are more creative, or I like the flow. I liked the song. softness, there’s a lot of positive things about being in blur. Mm hmm. It relaxes your vision? Yes. Well, what does that relaxing do to your blood vessels? It’s gonna open them up. That’s true. Right? Yes, you know. So relaxation is a very high priority for you around being able to, again, improve your vascular health. And we were gonna get to some other things like the MSM drops, I’m going to look at your, you know, your supplements and other things. But in this particular scenario, I wanted to start here, because this makes the world go round.
36:49
Okay, you do this one, then all the other things that I’m going to suggest are just going to work better. And you’re going to find very quickly, your eyesight is going to improve and your vision is going to get better. And that’s going to feel so empowering. Oh, yeah. No doubt your God.
37:09
Right? Because you go to these people, and they tell you something, and their whole world is fear that it’s a disease to death. And I just like
37:20
your and your thing is it’s not even your fear. It’s their fear that they’re projecting on you. That’s the the insanity of it. Because I’ve never seen people improve their vision.
37:33
Okay, I want to move on, because there’s many other things we can get to. So it doesn’t sound like I pressure is the issue for you. Is that? Is that true? I just want to confirm that because there were a couple of different threads that I saw you wrote that.
37:53
I
37:54
said, Oh,
37:56
yeah.
37:59
Yeah, it was like a 10 or nine or some something. I don’t know. Second guy said. And in fact, I just read the records yesterday, they sent me and the quote, severe. Like, I lost a lot of sleep over that. So I’m gonna let that go. This is super helpful.
38:18
Right? So So here’s the here’s the next thing. Yeah. One of the keys in improving your vascular health in the eye is protecting the optic nerve. Because the optic nerve has these nerve fibers that connect to the retina from the retina to the brain. And there’s like a communication link. Okay, so this is all evidence based science based what I’m gonna say, and you may be doing these things, so we’re just checking the box off. I’m not I’m not saying you need to do these, you’re already doing them. But I’m just gonna go through the list of what improves optic nerve health. Omega three clearly is helpful. gingko bilberry, and taurine, feed the optic nerve. Now the good news about that I saw you have some other vitamin you might consider when you use that up or to see if they have that in there is to switch to my whole health I vitamin because I’ve put taurine, gingko and bilberry in those that either you can use my omega three or which is designed specifically for the eyes or you know, make sure you’re getting enough good fats and oils. Okay, though, those things feed the optic nerve. In addition, there’s something that I’ve developed called optic nerve formula. And it has something that’s an ingredient called nitric oxide. And this is getting a lot of press in glaucoma right now, at least in the you know, some of the medical journals now
40:00
Trick oxide is a vasodilator. It does exactly what we want it to do for glaucoma and gives you better blood vessel circulation. So I would consider the optic nerve formula. I’ve also put alpha lipoic acid in it, which is going to clean up your vitreous, which is where those floaters are because it’s a very concentrated antioxidant. It’s good for the lens of the eye, and many other things. So optic nerve formula is something else. Okay, so I’m hearing Yeah, so I’m out of this and was prepared to take what you want to do my whole health I vitamin I would also add the Astra Xanten as the Xanthan is a marine karate Noid which, again is very helpful for read the circulation. So you would do the vitamin as to Xanten and the optic nerve formula.
41:00
In addition, in addition, I want to make sure you’re getting at least some Tumeric in your diet. Or you can get my supplement curcumin studies have shown that Tumeric curcumin curcumin in turmeric has been very helpful for reducing glaucoma.
41:24
If it’s inflammatory, so somewhere in there I want you to cook with it or just get my capsules and curcumin, then the MSM eyedrops, because of your dryness, I would use them during the day, maybe one drop each eye three to five times a day, that’s going to help the floaters and then in the evening, you can use my castor oil drop and the way I’d like you to use that as right before you go to sleep. Take a drop and put it on the outside part of the eye on the eyelids and then lightly massage it around the eyelids in the eyes.
42:08
Castor oil is a great anti inflammatory agent and heals the skin. It reduces dryness and it’s great to use before bed on the eyelids because it will slowly penetrate in while you sleep. So when you wake up, your eyes are going to feel moist. Okay, I’ve been studies that show that castor oil reduces inflammation in the eyelids something called meibomian gland dysfunction. A group of ophthalmologists did a study and found that
42:43
Castro eyedrops, reduce this meibomian gland dysfunction instead of having to use pharmaceuticals. So it’s it’s really good. I’ve been using it a long time. Okay, so those would be the remedies. Yes, please. So I got the 5% MSM drops and I was using them but they made my eyelids feel warm inside. So I stopped.
43:11
So
43:14
there’s a couple things about that the MSM contains a molecule called sulfur.
43:19
Sulfur is the third leading trace mineral found in the body and it’s kind of like sticky flypaper. Yeah. So that whatever toxins are in the eye, the sulfur molecule is going to flush it out. Oh, okay. So detail now. Exactly. Now, the thing is, is that another way you could do the MSM is get a cloth, a soft cloth, wash cloth or something wet in wet it, put a couple of drops on the MSM on the cloth and just use it over the eyes. And try that and see if that’s better. Or maybe you just need to space it out or use less MSM.
44:09
I think you’ll just have to figure out, you know, what is going to be the best dosage for you around, you know, because you don’t you don’t want to have any symptoms. Although I will say that the whatever you’re experiencing in the eyelids is not a bad thing. But your eyes are very sensitive. And at the very beginning, it might be better for you to use less and space it out and get an experience where there’s no problems.
44:48
Okay, where you’re not a nice thing to do people get used to it. That was Yeah, I was wondering if I use it over time. Would it like come down or is it more
44:59
like
45:00
What is your experience?
45:02
Well, calm down. I don’t think that’s the goal here. I think you might not be warm anymore. Like not feel warm reclamation, warm is not a negative, you’re perceiving it as. But I think that
45:20
you know, because of your sensitivity.
45:24
I mean, I don’t know what all that you’ve put in your eyes and all the things I can tell you with the amount of myopia I have. It’s a high risk,
45:35
high trauma situation. So whatever you use, you may need to use less and spread it out. And we’ll just have to see, this is not a cookbook, each person is different based on what they’re bringing to the table. So what you have to become adept at is how much can you take?
46:01
Okay, probably for you, because of your sensitivities. I would err on the side of less is better than more, we don’t want any symptoms at all. Right? So maybe the MSM once a day or, or every other day, or every third thing, you’re gonna have to figure it out. I can’t tell because I, you know, you I don’t know, you know what your tolerance level is. So
46:32
I think for you right now, you don’t want any reactions.
46:38
Because any reaction is going to be Oh, my God, this is overwhelming me. And just,
46:45
just worrying that blurry vision prescription, that’s going to be very provocative, I’m sure, huh, okay. Okay. So, bear with you. You’ve got to be your own therapist here. Okay. And I may go back to my therapist will help
47:04
to lessen the hypervigilance actually, with a chemical sensitivity. So the but when my eyes feel dry, so right now I’m giving the uptake the bio, Ron, you know, uptake a homeopathic drops?
47:20
Doesn’t doesn’t give you some relief. I mean, some but right now, as I’m talking it’s, you know, feeling kind of Sandy. So, so should you’ve got a chronic dryness going on here. Yes. Yes. It may be many things, you may have to increase your fats and oils, you might have to try the castor oil at night. I mean, I don’t have that answer. You’re gonna have to experiment and see what the what the formulation is. I mean, certainly that is a nice, I dropped maybe use more of it.
47:55
You know, use that with
47:59
me. Is that what the MSM? Well, you have to try? I don’t know. Okay. I don’t know what.
48:07
That’s, that’s what I’m wondering. It won’t contradict each other. No, they won’t contradict each other, but just don’t do one right after the other, maybe do one and then next time you do? I mean, you’re gonna have to be your own doctor here. Okay, that’s fine. No, you’re gonna have to listen, though, I can tell you this. This is a key point. You know, when I teach workshops, the people that make the most improvements. Yeah.
48:37
Use their intuition. Okay, I could do that.
48:44
I think you must do that. I think that’s a requirement of you to get the room that you’re looking for. Because I don’t know, you know, each person is different.
48:55
I’ve got fully use the MSM and they go within an hour there, floaters have gone away. Now, I’ve got other people that use the MSM, and it burns like hell. This is the 5% and they can only do it like once a week.
49:12
Also,
49:13
okay, no, I don’t know, you know, this, you know,
49:20
okay, you’ve got this, listen and follow. And if you get some response, and you know, okay, I can go that way. Or maybe I need to try something else, because I’m not gonna be there with you. And I know these things work, but they work differently for different people. So you’re gonna have to see for that.
49:43
Okay. Okay, great. Thank you. I appreciate it.
49:48
Appreciate the Empower empowerment perspective, rather than the authoritative.
49:57
Yeah, energy. So this feels much
50:00
better and more, I’m relieved.
50:03
Yes, there’s help and that this is not like, you know, already,
50:09
like a train wreck
50:11
and can’t be reversed. Not only is it not a train wreck, but you can turn this whole thing around pretty quickly and empower yourself to,
50:25
to just know how to take care of your eyes. And then you know, every now and then you go visit a doctor and you just get the data, and then you know what to do with it. You don’t have to take commendations. Yes, they they love the, you know, the toolbox that you and I are talking about. I mean, this isn’t fallen from the sky. I mean, Chinese medicine has been working with eyes for 1000s of years. This is not new meditation. You know.
51:00
Another thing that can help you is finding a good cranial sacral therapist, that helps the cerebral spinal fluid come into the optic nerve, and a much softer, more balanced way that actually came out in the glaucoma seminar. They didn’t say cranial sacral. But they said cerebral spinal fluid in the brain. If you can change that, you can change glaucoma. So amazingly, they didn’t know. I don’t think they knew exactly what they were saying. But
51:30
it’s true. Yeah, I had one. Yeah, my the cranial sacral. Guy this back in Massachusetts. I’m out in Colorado now. He said this think noise? Bone.
51:44
Yeah, so. Okay, so there’s that question for you how? So I’ve avoided doctors for the last three years.
51:56
Because of
51:58
so do you have someone a contact or someone you like in Boulder that has this kind of approach?
52:06
No. Okay. So just go to them for the diagnostics. Right.
52:13
I don’t I don’t, you know, there’s so few and far between. I’ve talked to a lot of the younger graduates, but there’s so medical, they want the technology they want the you know, they want what what you’ve experienced, so, I don’t know anybody.
52:30
Okay.
52:32
less of them are doing it now. Because of
52:38
I don’t know, you know, because of the medical model. I see. Okay, so optometrist, I probably don’t need to go to ophthalmologist because though,
52:47
tests,
52:49
just go to an optometrist and but I think right now just focus on the healing part, and see where you are in three months. And maybe, you know, we can do another session in three months or so. And see where you will see where you go. Okay. Meanwhile,
53:09
prescription to get the prescription to me and I’ll, I’ll send you a valid prescription, then you can go anywhere to get it filled. Yeah, that will be great. That would be great. Yeah. Okay. Thank you very much. It was very nice to meet you. Very welcome. Nice to meet you. Yes, we are into empowerment, the authority model is trashed. And you can do it. Okay, that sounds so I’ll go to your website by the different vitamins.
53:42
And then
53:44
we’ll see we’ll take the next steps. And again, just listen to your body, be intuitive. And you’ll be able to break through a lot of great things and learn a lot about your patterns. Just by being intuitive and and just listening. And remember less is more you may not need the entire dosage. Maybe you need less so just you know you can do that. Okay. Take them for thority
54:16
Okay, the last question the Astra the Zen
54:23
do I get that from your website also?
54:28
Great. Absolutely. All their one shot one drops. Okay. So nice to meet you. Good luck. Keep in touch. I will give you a testimonial someday. Yes, absolutely. Okay. Take care.
