When I was in my early twenties, I became nearsighted. I
remember putting glasses on for the first time, and being able to see the
horizon crisply for the first time in quite a while. A few years later, I no
longer needed those glasses anymore: my vision is perfect, and I’ll tell you
how it happened.
In 1995 I was seeing Dr. Jenefer Huntoon at her clinic in
Wallingford (a neighborhood in Seattle, WA). I was complaining of chronic
allergies and needing to blow my nose all the time. So she performed what she
called “cranial release” therapy on me. It was a rather barbaric treatment that
involved sticking a small balloon on the end of a blood pressure bulb, sticking
that up each of my six sinus cavities in turn, and pumping them full of air to
expand them. Each treatment (I went four or five times to these sessions) I’d
finish up feeling like the roof of my mouth had been stretched. It was not
comfortable or fun, but during the time I was getting this done, I stopped
needing to wear my glasses.
Now the only time the horizon becomes blurry for me is when
I have a nasty, nose-clogging cold. I look out the window, see the blurry
trees, and remember how that used to be how things were for me.
Regretfully, Dr. Huntoon is now deceased and her clinic is
shut down. But I wanted to put this out there, in case anyone wants to do
studies on this treatment to see if it could cure others. Clearly, it is
possible to cure nearsightedness. It worked for me!
ReplyDeleteFascinating. I'd never heard of this before.
