Article #1: The Eyes
The eyes are the principle organs of experience of the material world and should be cared for with great diligence. However, dietary abuses result in direct and indirect impairment of vision, and the eyes are often further abused by the placing in them of irritating substances which purportedly wash them and relieve them of being “bloodshot.”
The eyes are humankind’s main organ of life’s experiences. Vibrations are the source of vision as they are for all of the other senses. The light vibrations of a “perceived” object pass through the transparent cornea and an opening, the pupil. They are then transmitted through the crystalline lens and semi-fluid content of the inner eye chamber and onto the retina. The retina consists of a thin membrane constructed of optic nerve axons and optic neurons (cells), bipolar cells, and receptor cells (rods and cones) at the back of the retina. Light vibrations pass through the outer two cellular layers onto the rods and cones which convert the vibrations into electrical impulses. These impulses are then transmitted through the bipolar cells to the optic neurons and then to the brain where all of the impulses are consolidated, picked up by the astral brain and relayed to the mind for interpretation and “experience.”
Care of the eyes is most important to proper vision. The lacrimal (tear) glands “normally” secrete pure water to lubricate and cleanse the eyeball but in the modern human diet so many contaminants (particularly salt) are consumed and find their way into all body tissues, these glands and all other exocrine glands are forced to continually excrete salt and other contaminating wastes in their fluids. The salt in the tears produces a constant, never-ending irritation to the delicate eye membranes. This results in a perpetual state of some degree of inflammation of the eyeball (bloodshot) and the conjunctiva of the eyelids which grows chronic as people grow older. This weakens the membrane so that any additional irritant will produce severe inflammation.
A salt-free diet leads to clear (whites) bright eyes and improved vision.
In the event of dust or other external irritants entering the eyes, the only suitable eyewash solution is pure distilled water. All commercial eyedrops and eyewashes contain substances which are detrimental to tissue by forcing abnormal withdrawal and contraction of cells to “make the eyes clear” and “refresh” them by deadening nerve response to the irritation. These should always be carefully avoided in proper eye care.
Proper eye care also includes daily gentle massage of the eyeballs with the lids closed and exercises to stretch and relax the eye muscles (looking up, down, sideways, crosseyed, etc.).
Good vision is normal and natural. When body contamination and genetic defects combine to distort the vision, the only intelligent solution is to eliminate the cause and restore the vision to normal. The ridiculous practice of using glasses to “compensate” for poor vision is another of the unfortunate “advancements” of a primitive science. Good vision can be restored without glasses by simply observing the rules of proper eye care—proper diet, fasting, daily massage, and exercise.
Glasses for eyes provide the same disservice as perpetual use of crutches. In the case of the eyes, they atrophy and function (vision) becomes constantly progressively impaired. In the case of a weak leg, the muscles atrophy, and function becomes constantly progressively impaired until finally the limb is shriveled and useless.
