I was literally going blind! In April 2005 I had arrived at the point where I hadn't been reading books for many years.
I could read the computer screen relatively easily because it is back lit and I could enlarge the size of the type.
Over the years, startiung more than 30 years ago, I would get my eyes checked and gradually get stronger and stronger prescriptions.
I began to learn about cataracts -- my eye doctor said I was almost "ready" for cataract surgery. I found out that whether or not you are ready depends on the insurance coverage, not on a sound medical opinion. In any event, many years ago I got my first eye cataract surgery. I was amazed at how much better I could see just a couple hours after the surgery.
But, it was my distance vision that mostly improved and my ability to read books did not improve.
I then discovered that my other eye was "not bad enough" for the insurance to pay for a second cataract surgery. The eye doctor said that eye ball was not "ripe!" What a term to describe my poor eye sight.
I felt that I would possibly have to stop doing my beloved reading, research and publishing on the web sites. It was a sad and slow realization.
I finally got out of the very restrictive HMO where I had health care coverage and went to Medicare plus "gap" insurance -- I figured, now, I could get the cataract surgery that would help me. Unfortunately, even Medicare coverage was not available.
So, I finally decided to spend the $8,000 for a private surgeon to do my eyes. He claimed that he could return my eyesight to "20/20" with his cataract surgery and, perhaps, a touch up with his laser surgery.
I gave him a cash deposit and scheduled my surgery for late July 2005.
But, then I decided that I needed to do the Hubbard Detox with my wife. She had tremendous amounts of chemotherapy and radiation the year before, treating her cancer and all the residue from those toxic treatments was still locked up in the fatty tissues of her body. II could not do during the scheduled cataract surgery and not either for a few weeks after the surgery. This meant I could not be her partner until about September.
I decided, instead, to cancel my cataract surgery, start the Detox as soon as possible and, in addition, start a Kung Fu school I had heard about and wanted to do. A lot of changes for this 'ole guy. The Detox took time to arrange. Both of us had to get medical exams to be sure, at our ages, that we were fit for the Detox. So, we started the Kung Fu before we started the Detox. Soon we were doing both.
The Kung Fu instructor, in an early class, described simple eye exercises that would strengthen our eyes and improve our eye sight. I started doing those -- but they were so simple that I hardly believed they would make any signficant difference quickly.
I never really expected the Detox would produce a miracle, but about the fourth week of Kung Fu and the second week of the Detox I noticed that my eye sight was getting better.
At first, like any big miracle, I wasn't at all sure it was happening. Then it was incontestible -- I was soon reading without my glasses -- in some cases reading better without my glasses than I had been reading, before, WITH my glasses.
By the end of the Detox I had thrown away my glasses. My eyesight was not perfect, but it was so much better I found it hard to believe.
Now, some months after the Detox, continuing with the vigorous exercise and Kung Fu, I am convinced the Detox did most of the change, but that the exercise helped.
I've also had an amazing experience with "sleepers" during the Detox -- and have written a major discovery article on THAT.
All in all I am delighted to recover so much good eyesight that I brag to anyone and everyone that I don't need glasses anymore.
