If you have questions, you can send them to [email protected]. Now to the latest EyeClarity episode. I'm going to tell you a brief story. I got interested in color therapy back in, actually the mid 1980s. And I was just starting a practice in Philadelphia. And I received a flyer in the mail about going to a class, healing people's eyes with color. Now, after that weekend class, Monday morning, I came back into the office into the waiting room, and there was my friend, and her mom. And she had just failed the driver's license. And she was diagnosed with macular degeneration. She had some retina issues. And she, she was devastated. So I said to my friend, I've got this new technique I learned, which is you stare at this color. And there was a cookbook at that point, if you stare at this particular blue green color, 20 minutes a day. What the teachers said for the class is that it could help improve macular health. So we started a program where the my friend brought her mom in every day. And every day I'd gotten meet her in the waiting room and take her back to my room where there was a color machine. And she would stare at this color. So the color was coming into our eyes. I didn't really know what I was doing. And after about two weeks, I came out into the waiting room. And I said, Oh my worse, where's your daughter? And she said, Well, you know, I'm seeing so well, I was able to drive to the office, myself. And I went what. So I took her into my exam room, and I did an eye exam on her. And she was telling the truth, her eyesight had gone from 2400, which is seeing the biggie on the eye chart. And now she was seeing about 2080 which means that she was seeing a fairly small letter at 20 feet. So we can continued with the color therapy. And when she was done, her visual acuity was 2040, she went back to motor vehicles, and she was able to get her daylights driver's license. And this was just doing color therapy, there were no supplements, there was no you know, fancy eye exercises or anything like that. So the point of the story was is that, you know, if people look at different colors, it must have some positive effect on the retina because the retina is the part of the eye that captures the the light, you know, the technical term is called photoreceptors. And what I realized was there's that over a lifetime stress traumas, body toxicities, visual habits, wearing prescriptions that are too strong, begin to shut off the photoreceptors in the retina. And that's why people have the all these different eye problems, partly because the photoreceptors are not processing the light properly. And if you stimulate the photoreceptors with different light in different colors, then you can regain your eyesight and vision. So if we fast forward many, many years, here we are today. One of the techniques that I developed was having people look through or look at different colors. And it became an experience where not only was there a physical change in the retina,
