Medical Forum / General / Vision / August 2005Statement on my site -- FYI
Dear Friends, Subject: Legal disclaimer -- posted my site. Similar statement in my book, "How to Avoid Nearsightedness" Re: For your information. Legal Notes on, "How to Avoid Nearsightedness" and your choice about using the preventive method. LEGAL DISCLAIMER 1 Let me recite my personal disclaimer. Because I am not medically trained and because I am averse to the prospect of being sued for giving advice (medical or otherwise), I am stating emphatically that everything written here ("How to Avoid Nearsightedness", including all related pages on this site) is nothing more than my personal opinion and experience. If you are interested in reading about that experience, I invite you to continue reading. If you want a medical opinion or advice, you should contact a medical professional. If something I write seems to be advice, you should re-read this paragraph and understand that I am only using literary license to convey my experiences and opinions. I offer you NO ADVICE and I do not recommend to anyone that they should subscribe to any treatment for any condition without proper medical advice, EVEN IF I TELL YOU THAT I AVOID SOME MEDICAL ADVICE OR TREATMENT FOR MYSELF. I take PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for my health. You should take personal responsibility for your health (not my advice - just my opinion). It is up to you to decide if medical professionals and the medical industry, the food industry and others act in your best interest or not. It is up to you to decide, if after reading my experiences, how and whether to address any health issues including those related to your vision. Legal disclaimer from: www.myopiafree.com LEGAL DISCLAIMER 2 "How to Avoid Nearsightedness", is an educational tool that can assist you in accurately understanding the eye's proven dynamic behavior. Our book is not intended to be a medical text, nor does it substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment of eye disease by an ophthalmologist. The techniques developed for prevention are derived from the concept presented in the book and is considered to be the second opinion. This second opinion is based on proven scientific facts as they concern the dynamic behavior of the natural and fundamental eye. It is the reader's sole responsibility to determine the suitability of this book's advocacy for his use. Once you make up your own mind to use the preventive method, you should then find an OD who will support you in your major effort -- based on your own best judgment. There are ODs who are now helping their own children in the use of the plus lens for prevention. That is the type of "open minded" OD you need. This site is dedicated to your own personal interest and your own goal in life -- where you assume complete technical and legal control over your own eyes. You must understand the intended purpose of this site and assume all risks and liabilities resulting from your actions. I can tell you personally that I wish I had been offered the preventive method advocated here. I acknowledged that the method is difficult and requires your own understanding. I wish I had been offered this alternative -- when I was at the threshold. I believe that the method would have been effective at that point. Because of the advocacy of Dr. Jacob Raphaelson, I realized that the person (you) must play a very strong role in prevention. If the effort is neglected or ignored at that point (by you) then nearsightedness can not be prevented. In the future you will find some ODs who will help you -- once you personally make the decision to use the plus for prevention. The very nature of these scientific arguments assumes that you have both the knowledge and motivation to take a large if not total responsibility to carry out the preventive work successfully. > If the effort is neglected or ignored at that point (by you) then > nearsightedness can not be prevented. In the future you will find [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > motivation to take a large if not total responsibility to carry > out the preventive work successfully. In other words, if kids get nearsighted, it isn't your fault, but theirs, and their parents'. Don't you wonder how many of those parents bought the "See Clearly" kit? -MT >Dear Friends, > >Subject: Legal disclaimer -- posted my site. > Similar statement in my book, "How > to Avoid Nearsightedness" Are you willing to add something to the effect of "All properly conducted clinical trials testing my plus lens hypothesis show that it is either ineffective or actually increases myopia?" Dear Neil, What I suggest is that the perons read Dr. Francis Young's study that showed that a properly-fitted plus (group) showed a "down" rate of approx zero diopters per year, and the single minus group showed a "down" rate of -1/2 diopter per years -- for the several years of the study. I would then say that this is the "second-opinion" and that other studies perhaps do not show this. But the individual must understand that the issues is no no sense settled, but virtually all agree that this sends a strong message about this issue of true-prevention. It either must be used on the threshold -- or not at all. In effect, once you "start" with the minus, you can expect to see your child go "down" by -1/2 diopter per year (average) with some going down at -1 diopter per year. It is something to consider before you start wearing a minus lens prescribed to achieve 20/10 vision for a young child. But I do agree that this is a difficult choice for a parent to make. Best, Otis >Dear Neil, > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] >But I do agree that this is a difficult choice for a parent >to make. I'm sorry, but I don't see where you answered my question. Please let me repeat: Are you willing to add something to the effect of "All properly conducted clinical trials testing my plus lens hypothesis show that it is either ineffective or actually increases myopia?" |
