Hey everybody, it’s Dr. Sam. And I want to welcome you to another EyeClarity Podcast. Today, I want to share three inspiring case histories. And in doing this, it may give you some inspiration and hope. And so here we go. This is patient number one. And this is a gal who I met when I was teaching a month long program at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California. I was on the faculty at SLN, for about seven years, and I started off teaching the staff and the the interest in what I was teaching really grew to the point where I was then offered to be able to teach something called the legacy program, this is a month long program where people would come and pay.
And they would be residents of SLN. So they would work on the grounds during the day. And then they would take healing classes and there would be two teachers per month, who would offer you know, their healing modality, whether it be nonviolent communication, or you know how to become better at acting or creativity. Of course, mine was how to improve your eyesight and vision. And this was the first year that I taught the legacy program. And the first night when we got together, we got a big circle, there must have been about 25 people in my class, and you get them for the month. So you you have to design different, you know, different processes when you meet every night. And then there’s a halfway point where you actually do a one day intensive during the day so that every other everybody gets, you know, the day off from their daily activities and routines and work commitments.
So we were sharing in the circle, and there was a woman who had a patch on. And I said well, that’s very interesting. So we got to her and she said, Well, I was in a car accident about 12 years ago. And I really hurt my I went to a number of AI specialists. And nobody seemed to be able to help me. And the last doctor I went to said the best thing that you could do would just be to wear the patch full time. And that was about 12 years ago. So I went over to her and I sat down crossed to her and I said, Would you like to take that eyepatch off, she said, You know, I’m kind of afraid to do it. very self conscious. I haven’t taken it off in front of people in a very long time. So I said, Okay, you don’t have to take it off right now. But I’m going to give you the invitation that I want you to think about taking it off. And we’re going to do some different group processes to create some safety in this group so that you’re, you’re feeling safe. And about two nights later, we were doing a process. And I called on her and she said Alright, I’m ready to take the patch off. So she took the patch off. And that I was pretty much swollen shut. I mean, she could barely see out of it.
And she said, Here I am. Wow, this is very scary. It’s very revealing. And a few days later, I gave her a private session and actually what was happening is part of the eyesight, the clarity started to come back. And you know, I gave her some color therapy and some other eye exercises to begin to introduce that, that I that had been bought behind the patch to come back to life. And at day 29 You know, we were down at the end of our our time together. We all got to share, you know what we learned? And so she said, you know, by having the permission to be able to take the patch off And to be told that actually I could improve this I was life changing for me. And, you know, we all just kind of gotten a circle, we hugged her. And, you know, anyways, we ended the program, I went back home. And I got a email from her about three months later, saying that her eyes were now balanced, that this eye that had been behind the iPads for 12 years, she had brought it back to life with my help, and with the group’s help. And to this day, we communicate on Instagram. And it’s always really uplifting to hear from her because she’s doing great. She got a job that she really likes, she found a relationship. And so the moral of the story on this one is that,
05:58
you know, when we’re told by the eye doctor, well, you’ve got this condition, and there’s really no help, you know, it’s only going to go one way, which is backwards. Again, we have to remember that the brain does have a certain plasticity, and part of vision is in the brain. And if we do certain, stimulating things to our vision, and we start to say, well, I’m going to do another course, I’m not going to listen to these doctors. Guess what, you have a chance to regain your vision. Alright, let’s go to case number two. This is a woman who lives in Santa Fe. And about four years ago, she made an appointment to come to see me and she’s in a wheelchair to 80 years old. And we really are not set up for, you know, handicap people. Because I’m in a home office now. And it’s a it’s a rural office. So it’s, you know, a lot of dirt. And you know, you have to kind of find your way to my geodesic dome, those of you that have seen me in my videos.
Anyways, her husband pushed her up the path. I helped her out of her wheelchair, brought her into the office, sat down and she said, you know, my doctor said that I have a cataract. And he tried to schedule me for surgery while I was sitting in the eye exam chair. And I think that I can heal this. And I think you’re the man that can do it. And I said, Well, let’s give it a try. So she was she had a cataract in both eyes actually was worse than the right eye than the left eye but I could see where the the eye doctor would say it’s time for surgery. You know, the rule of thumb for surgery, really is if it’s interfering with your daily seeing. She loves to knit she’s actually I found out later world class master knitter. She actually taught knitting and, but she was still able to do her knitting. Even with these cataracts forming, she had very thick glasses, very very farsighted, lots of astigmatism. She was in progressive lenses, you know, the invisible bifocals, and she said, I really want to work with you. So I said, Okay, so we started, she signed up for a series of six sessions and her husband would push, you know, the wheelchair every week and she would come rain and snow, sleet and ice, sun. Sunny weather. She She was dedicated. I saw that. And I gave her a nutritional protocol. We did eyedrops, we
09:09
did supplementation, we did physical vision therapy. And about a year later. She said to me while she was still coming as a patient,
09:22
I think my cataracts are going away. And I also think the cataract in my left eye might be completely gone. So I did my exam on her and she was correct. The Left Eye had completely healed itself. The cataract was completely gone. The right cataract had reduced by about 75%. And to boot the glasses that she was wearing. She said you know they’re not working anymore. I think they’re too strong for me. And she was right.
So we can’t work We kept working and you know, fast forward. Four years later, she just turned 84. And the cataracts are completely gone. And the other thing that’s really amazing is that she’s out of the progressive lenses. So she’s not using those anymore. And her computer prescription and her reading prescription, the magnification power keeps reducing, like every three months, she’ll say to me, no, these glasses are too strong for me. They’re too strong for me. And so I’ve had to change the prescription, about four times. And she’s at the point now where her prescription is reduced by about 60%. This is unheard of for people over the age of 40, who are in bifocals. Nobody reduces their magnification. I mean, unless they’re working with me, but it’s an anomaly. And so here we are at 84. She sees 2020 a distance and 2020 at near. She’s reducing her prescriptions. She’s out of her progressive lenses. And she’s just, she just keeps going. So I’m just really amazed by that. So that’s case number two. That case number three is my story.
And many of you have heard that I’ve, you know, in bits and pieces, I’ve talked about it. You know, when I was eight years old, I was diagnosed with a learning disability and I was not reading. And I grew up in a family where intellectual academics was stressed reading, writing, conversing, you know, going to professional school, you know, those were things that my parents really on a value system, instilled in myself and my brother. And when I couldn’t read, my mom tried everything, bless her heart, and we ended up going to an ophthalmologist. And I ended up getting some nearsighted glasses and my eyes kept getting progressively worse. And I became a memorizer. That’s how I got through school. You know, I became adept at looking at a lot of different cues and signals from my teachers what I needed to do to, to get the grade to get the answer. And, you know, I made National Honor Society, and I never was very, very good at it taking tests. But I got better at that as well.
You know, I could figure it out. But by the time I was 28 years old, I graduated optometry school, I was significantly nearsighted to the point where I needed my lenses all the time. And I met an eye doctor who was a holistic eye doctor and I started to go to him as a patient. I paid him and I went to him. And he said two things to me said number one, the reason why you have a learning problem is that your left eye wanders out, and you’re not able to use your two eyes together. This was news to me, when I’m not when I was in optometry school. All the optometrist who, you know, examined me would say your eyes are healthy, and you got myopia. So the second thing he said is that he thought that the nearsightedness, the myopia that I had in my eyes, was just all based on tension that I had an effort, I had a way of effort seeing that he felt if I went through physical therapy, I could reverse all of it. So I started on a program with them. Six months later, my two eyes are working together. And I really started to love to read. Second thing that happened is my nearsightedness went completely away. And it started me along a path of helping people do the same thing. And what’s great about this is that I definitely have experienced it. So by experiencing it, when people come to see me,
14:21
either in the workshops or in the, you know, in the private sessions or whatever, that I’m walking my talk that I, I’m in total belief that you can change your prescription, you can reverse your eye disease, you can reduce your learning problem. And so there’s a lot of really great attributes that come from being able to go through that process. So, that’s my story. I’m sticking to it. And that’s our show for today. I want to thank you for your participation, your contributions and most of all, spread the word. The more people that know about this, it’s going to help a lot and you know, you don’t have to live out your doctor’s diagnosis. All right, ladies and gentlemen, until next time, take care.
