Is it possible to improve your eyesight?

Question 1
Is it possible to improve your eyesight?...  Are there any ways that you can improve your eyesight without and surgery? Any help would be appreciated. No food advice either!

Answers
1)   Read in dim lighting. Contrary to the old wives tale if you can read in the dark it actually means you have strong eyesight. - Kate[케이트]

2)   you can wear spects.if not then you can do physical exercises ie yoga.yoga does work try it. - Namrata

3)   well yes you can do some eye exercises from yoga class.it does help . - Resha Shrestha

4)   there is no scientifically proven way to improve your eyesight, but i believe there are some exercizes that you can do that "supposedly" help strengthen it. again, this hasn't been proven.

One of the most critical component to helping improve your vision is to do eye strengthening and relaxation exercising. One of the most popular exercises in Palming. Palming requires you to sit comfortably and cover your eyes with your hands, make sure you rub your hands together to create some warmth before covering your eyes.

Ensure there is no light coming through, if you see any traces simply imagine that it is completely dark. Focus on your breathing by taking slow deep breathes. Do this for 3 minutes at a time while and visualise something interesting.

also, stop wearing glasses. this sounds weird, but its true. vision correcting lenses actually make you're eye sight worse. - Lydia

5)   definitly. the easiest ways are
1.) use an optical flipper
- this is really easy to use, buy one and read the directions :)
- like seriously, this can make your eyesight 20-20 again, and all you have to do is use it while your reading
- i suggest looking up this product if you dont know what this is

2.) wear night contacts
- this type of technology has been out for a while, it isnt spacificly made to make your eyesight better, but it does if you wear them every night (one thing these contacts can gaurantee is that your eyesigh will NOT get worse

3.) never read of do anything in the dark

4.) dont squint

5.) dont read slantwise (as in dont read upsidedown, ect, always read upright)

6.) do eye exercises, look far, and than look close

7.) do NOT read before sleep

8.) and at last resort, GET LASIK :D (yea, i just put this in for the heck of it) - Christina Liang

6)   Yes, actually my uncle don't wear glasses cause he made every day eye exercises and looked to the horizon for a couple of years. The eye lenses helps to stop the lack of eyesight too but don't fix it. - kathe c

7)   There's a program called Vision Without Glasses that's based on the Bate's method. It uses a series of exercises to strengthen the muscles around the eyes. It claims to work for all kinds of vision problems. I haven't used it but I'm thinking about it. You may want to check it out. http://bit.ly/ijn1DZ - Kirazz

8)   No it's not. There is no exercise that will help your eyes. Also, virtually all the advice you've received so far about keeping your eyesight is wrong. Things like reading in the dark or before bed can cause eye fatigue, but not damage. Wearing glasses absolutely does NOT make your eyesight worse. This insane myth is based on perceptions. After you become accustomed to your glasses when you remove them your natural eyesight seems much worse by comparison to the time before you had glasses. People mistakenly believe that this means your eyes are worse, but actually you just are no longer able to settle for how bad your eyes really are. My great-grandfather wore glasses every day of his life from the time he was 3 until he died at 99. If wearing glasses made your eyes worse, why didn't he go blind after 96 years of wearing them? - William T

Question 2
Where can I find a certified Quantum Elbowologist?...  Hi,

I suffer from low self-esteem and depression.
Recently I have started chakra meditation, but with little results.

Some people here talk about the Elbow Chakra. This is something I have never heard of.
I am also unable to find any books, but somebody told me I can find a certified Quantum Elbowologist.

Can somebody help me with addresses, phonenumbers, websites or other resources?
Sometimes the feeling is unbearable, it would be nice if this could offer me some relief.

Thanks a lot.
@ Shohag Khan
I know some hospitals allow or offer reiki treatments, but after googling, I cannot find any hospital offering info about Quantum Elbowology. This seems to be really a new technique.
@Gary

Thanks for your information, but still on the Facebook group, there is no information about how to learn it, only an unanswered question in their forum. Strange...

Answers
1)   in hospital - Shohag Khan

2)   Well wouldn't you know, there's a facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=125998830756149

You may also be interested in Elbology which is an ancient elbow reading practice: http://www.elbology.com/

And I would recommend a chat with your family doctor, just to be on the safe side. - Gary Y

3)   Johanna,

it's indeed hard to find any specific information about Quantum Elbowology.

Anyway, if you suffer from those mental discomforts since a long time, it's better to find some professional help.
Anti-depressants can help you in the process, even placebos of anti-depressants do a great job. - Pietro

4)   Dear Johanna,

QE was an invention of a group of skeptics here in Yahoo Answers as a way to poke fun at the abuse of the word "quantum" and other technical jargon by cranks and quacks. Quantum Elbowology can be anything you want it to be because it does not exist except as a joke.

If you are suffering from low-self esteem and depression I would suggest you get professional help and counseling or even just talk to someone like your parents or friends (or even your clergy if you're religious).

Good luck. Hope everything turns out well. - angrydoc

5)   Sure , there is a leprechaun who practices quantum elbowology. His number is 666-bullshit - Mistress

6)   Dear Aristo/Avicenna/whatever you want to call yourself today (I notice Pietro is also one of your accounts, why would you answer your own question? Nevermind......)

Quantum Elbowology is the science of elbowic chakra manipulation. The elbows are manipulated and focused quantumly by a process related to the uncertainty principle. Negative chakric energy is released via a quantum bridge betwixt the elbow and base chakras, tempered via a remote channeling effect from the crown chakra. (I could explain it further but I'm sure a non-scientist such as yourself would struggle to comprehend what is after all on the very cutting edge of mankind's understanding.)

The resulting beneficial effect has been scientifically shown to impact positively on a wide range of illnesses and a form of QE has been used for over 5,000 years so obviously it must work.

Scientists are developing this method at the moment and soon it will be available in all hospitals, all over the world of that I am very sure. Currently it is practised by a very small and elite group of researchers, that's why there is little public information available.

(The elbow chakra itself has been covered in depth and anyone with even a basic understanding of chakras are aware of them. Clearly you know very little about this subject so here's some recommended reading specifically covering elbow chakras: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=OegzuoG-afoC&pg=PA79&dq=elbow+chakras&hl=en&ei=PqwcTeWyGMqXhQfIs93zDQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCYQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=elbow%20chakras&f=false http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=fH70iXWhBmoC&pg=PA154&dq=elbow+chakras&hl=en&ei=PqwcTeWyGMqXhQfIs93zDQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CCsQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=elbow%20chakras&f=false )

It must be noted that low self-esteem cannot be treated by QE. You could try getting a proper education so you don't feel so inferior when surrounded by other more intelligent people? It has to be worth a go! - dave

7)   As much fun as I like to have with it (some of the fellows are 'hurt-you'-funny when they are on a roll) - - Angry Doc has your answer....It's made up....that's why you aren't going to find a practictioner, or a method for it...

I would see a physician, and or a therapist for the depression - and for the self esteem, be mindful that the best way to acquire esteem, is through esteemable acts.

Good luck - Be well

Question 3
Quamtum Elbowology - will it cure me?...  I have a vague sense of unease, some minor backpain and off and on abdominal pain. I also have more money than sense. I was wondering if quantum elbowology could be for me?

Answers
1)   More money than sense eh? Step into my office. I'm a certified QE practitioner. - angrydoc

2)   Yes, you would be an IDEAL candidate!

You would probably require maybe 10-20 sessions over a period of 5-10 weeks. Don't forget to make sure you see a doctor to assess your condition first and if the doctor cannot help your sense of unease then QE definitely can, as long as you are a receptive person who is open-minded and able to accept anything, however far-fetched it may initially appear. - dave

3)   The only way you can get a true answer,
is answering it yourself.
The reason why you didn't know that is, as you said :
you have more money than sense.

If you have more money than sense however,
I would chose for surgery.

The hospital will be very enthusiast
to accept you for such senseless operations with a big smile
and lots of professionality.

And to be honest (in case your sense has grown in the meanwhile),
especially in the case of backpain an abdominal pain,
9 days of QE will be sufficient,
to take away the pain
and to make you feel
like you've never felt before.

Just try it.

@Michelle
Arsology is not the only way forward.
But indeed it's the fastest way forward.
However, it's a dangerous way for some people.
Not mentioning this is a sign of ignorance.
Do you know what you are talking about?
Apparently you speak from own experience,
but it clearly doesn't make you an expert in understanding the unmanifested. - SmartAss

4)   No silly quantum elbowology is tosh, arsology is the only way forward. - Michelle

5)   Incestually, yes.

It didn't cure Dave though. Look at his face.

AngryDoc is still black, ect. - Nemisis of Weise Ente and Rhianna

Question 4
What is the natural drug selenium ?...  

Answers
1)   I know its found in brazil nuts and promotes healthy sperm!! - marianne

2)   Selenium is not a drug, it's a chemical element: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selenium - Chris Spectre

3)   It is a mineral.
And is a potent antioxidant.
Helps prevent virus, degenerative diseases, and cancer.

You can get it from health shops or eat a handful of Brazil nuts a day to boisterous your intake. - donbot

4)   Selenium is not really a drug but a mineral essential to human health. If you have a balanced diet you should be able to get enough selenium. People who live in areas with poor selenium soil content and eat vegetables grown in such soil often become deficient in selenium.
You should be careful if you consume selenium supplements. The potential for toxicity is high. - Patrick

Question 5
is there an otc seratonin enhancer?...  

Answers
1)   Sorta. Kanna powder does it quite effective (too effectively, some say), but I've never seen it in stores. You need to order it online. It's not a controlled or even iffy substance, it's just not popular or in much demand.

St.John's Wort can do similar, but it has some weird side effects, and you cannot take it if you are on certain medications. - Kaviani999

2)   It depends on how you want to enhance it. If you're looking for better sleep, the ones that impact the Serotonin the most would be Melatonin and Tryptophan, both of which are available OTC.
If you're looking for more of a better mood, then 5-HTP would be the best impact that could be taken during the day, but St. John's Wort can have some impact from that, too.
If I'm misunderstanding the question, please feel free to E-mail me and I'll do my best to answer. I hope I helped! - oldtimekid2

3)   I'm a big fan of a good home-made bread.
There is a reason why some folks love carbs.... - Tink

4)   Since you're female you might want to try dark Chocolate. Chocolate is more effective in enhancing serotonin in females than in males. - Indigo Runner
