The Bates eye method is an alternative therapy that purports to "cure" defective #eyesight and diseases of the #eye by means of specific exercises. It is based on the work and theories of William Horatio Bates, a medical doctor and eye specialist practicing in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Although rejected and later soundly debunked by his peers, Bates's method was readily adopted into the alternative medicine and health freedom scenes, where it became interwoven with nutritional and other pseudoscience in the hands of early "health fad" figureheads such as Bernarr Macfadden and Gayelord Hauser.

Fascinating article! I had no idea that there is a global epidemic of #myopia, and that it is PREVENTABLE! https://www.wired.com/story/taiwan-epicenter-of-world-myopia-epidemic/

72% of Canadians are worried about climate change.
And “…many say they're only likely to change their behaviour if that doesn't come with a cost.”

(Results are from an online survey, so not statistically rigorous)

So, they’d rather spend $1000 later than $10 now. I think I see part of the problem.
(The other part is that we let large, moneyed, interests to control the levers of power that could enact far more effective measures than the average citizen, but that’s not how you become a large, moneyed, interest!) #Climate #ClimateEmergency #Myopia

Energy specialist Pierre-Olivier Pineau has resigned from the Legault government’s Advisory Committee on Climate Change, denouncing “a kind of censorship,” a lack of vision and transparency, ineffective programs and the absence of questioning on the way Quebecers consume energy.

Myopia can increase the risk of eye diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts later in life. Early management is key.
