Get the book on "The Bates Method for Better Eyesight" at amazon(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0805 002413/qid=941204767/sr=1-3/002-1647191- 0407463) or the other GREAT book "Relearning to See" (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/15564320 54/qid%3D941204849/002-1647191-0407463). I got the Bates first; the other one for its newer info, and I find overall completeness. It's the book with much more.
My sight went from -3 in both eyes, to 20/22; bitch is the contacts are slowing down the improvement. I do need to drive at night, though... I've been at it for about 5 months now. Overall, I find the methods VERY effective, give 'em a go. Keeping an open mind usually brings a couple of effective options to the front.
Keep in mind that in Brazil the average person does not speak a 2nd language even fairly well. Ironically enough in South America, most countries are spanish speaking. Yet Brazil has a problem with even that. The main thing is that with countries who's citizens are either too lazy to learn a 2nd language, even if most of the continent or world is capable of reasonable communication in that language, then it's a circular discussion - ultimately. There will be many excuses why they need not learn another language; I've been thru quite a few of those "discussions", and they are VERY one-sided and boring.
A 2nd, and sometimes 3rd known language, even if not fluently spoken; but reasonable enough to be understood by most, is always a good thing.

Hey,

Ironically enough in South America, most countries are spanish speaking. Yet Brazil has a problem
with even that. The main thing is that with countries who's citizens are either too lazy to learn a 2nd

language, then it's a circular discussion - ultimately. There will be many excuses why they need not
learn another language; I've been thru quite a few of those "discussions", and they are VERY
