Guest guest Posted April 9, 2002 Report Share Posted April 9, 2002 I read on the love letters files someone saying strabismus is caused by mercury. She has just started the chelation and was hoping it would help it. I didn't find a follow up, but was wondering if anyone else (or if she's reading this) has had strabismus improved or fixed by chelation. My son also has the dilated pupils that I've read others talking about. Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it has pretty much always been that way with me and docs.

The thing is, after so long seeing the way I see, I am not sure how ready I would be (am) to change it. Maybe one of these days.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2002 Report Share Posted April 10, 2002 My son has an inconsistent left divergent strambismus. While chelating out all of his mercury did help his ability to converge his eyes and eliminated the strange, inconsistent blind spots he was having, it didn't seem to affect the strambismus, except for making it worse on days he was releasing alot of toxins. The thing that helps the most with making it rare now is Dr. Megson's Cod Liver Oil protocol. That helps his overall vision ability as well.

I am giving ONLY my own experience, as an adult who did VT (aprox 9 months worth) in mid-30s, and subsequently am chelating in 40's. The VT was to correct eye teaming issues, and apparently did get my eyes to work " together " , corrected convergence insuffiency, and corrected abnormal place-of-rest. Also learned how to do things to relax my eyes. Got VERY VERY good at " 3 D pictures) (which means: I had excellent concious control of convergence and divergence, and could do either at will to the degree needed for 3-D pictures LOL.) During VT to SOME degree at SOME times (limited) I also had " better 3D vision " or more perception of the relationships between moving objects. I have described the effect to vision therapist in some detail and he did NOT offer any words/labels/etc for this. As far as I am aware there is no form of measurement for it. For aprox 8 years after VT I could get this " effect " to " happen " TO A LIMITED DEGREE by doing " bilateral walking " (read: by walking and swinging arms). I did this a lot because I liked the effect. When I started chelating with ALA I had very radical changes to how I perceive the " 3D " movement of objects/scenery. This change started in the first round and became quite noticeable within 3 to 4 rounds. This was 15 months ago. I believe that this aspect of my vision has changed permanently. I still experience some times when I notice more integration in movement that at other times-- and I believe I am STILL adjusting to the change, but I *never* see the way I used to (as far as I can tell!) As a result of this I do NOT believe that VT was able to train me to see 3D as well as possible. I don't know how " everyone else " sees (LOL) but I do know with great certainty that chelation was effective FOR ME in ways that VT was not. I will add that I did VT for *longer* than my therapist thought necessary, and he and the doc he works with felt I was " done " with the process when I stopped. (I admit to not doing the maintance home program well at all after that.) >That is close to what the one doc told me about the therapy, but he didn't >mention kids. The thing is, after so long seeing the way I see, I am not >sure how ready I would be (am) to change it. Maybe one of these days. > >Tana I agree that positive changes in vision can be quite difficult. I also discussed this with my VT/eye doc-- one of whom commented that that oculd be why some people don't complete the program. Although, I would not trade the positive changes for anything. As much as it is odd or disquieting IT IS ALSO FABULOUS. I still OFTEN watch objects/scenery move and appreciate the beauty of how it " moves " . It can be phenomenally beautiful. For the first couple months of chelation I literally (inwardly) thanked Andy for my vision every day. (I think he was critical to my decision to give ALA a try.) My personal thoughts are to chelate first (if toxic) and THEN do VT if indicated. best wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I definitely am NOT an expert in any of this; however, I had a client with diverticulitis and when I clicked on the disease dictionary, "strabismus" came up. I was shocked but clicked on to do therapy. She began rubbing her eye and when I questioned her, she said she was "alright". That night I called to see how she was feeling and she told me that her diverticulitis was gone.....guess it lasted a few days. So..................is strabismus and digestive tract issues related? I think so.
