I cured my nearsightedness with kale
Ok, slightly oversimplified but I have gone from 20/50 or worse to almost 20/20 in about a week.

For 15 years I have known about the special exercises needed to reverse nearsightedness, but I could never get better than 20/50 no matter how hard I tried. I mean HOURS of exercise per day for a month would net me no permanent gain. Argh.

So lately I have been on a zero tolerance diet where I juice 16oz of organic vegetable juice every day and eat NOTHING in a package (that is the zero tolerance part).

I avoid all dairy and wheat and all snack products, but most importantly, my juice includes 3 or 4 large kale leaves and 1.5 lbs of carrots. I have been doing this for about 6 weeks so far.

The difference in my health is dramatic, but I did not expect to wake up one morning and notice how dirty my shower floor is. That was the first step.

After that, I did a few minutes of eye exercises and for the first time in 15 years (!!!!!!!!!!!!) I was able to see better for the rest of the day after performing the exercises.

After 3 more day, I woke up and the shower filth was even clearer. Today 1 week later, I just had another small step up. I went to Big 5 to see if they had any ammo (nope) and was able to read the numbers and printing on the boxes behind the counter as well as printing on boxes up the high storage shelves. Not since I was 12 years old have I seen this sharp under fluorescent light with no glasses or contact.

F-ing miracle. No joke.

Don't ask me how to do the exercises, it's too involved and there are plenty of books out there you can buy.

Just get on that kale, yo!

Re: I cured my nearsightedness with kale
The important part of this is GUT HEALTH. Oddly enough, evidence is mounting that a decline in gut health is the precursor to nearsightedness.

When you stop eating crap and start eating healthy stuff, your gut heals and ...voila.... I can see. It's like I had laser surgery or something except things aren't quite perfect. At this rate, another few weeks and I am cured.

Re: I cured my nearsightedness with kale
I was on a kick for about a year and a half when every morning, I ate raw red cabbage and carrots. Not to improve eyesight, just liked it, and it was easy to take with me.

My eye doctor was almost floored, literally, at the improvement in my eyesight. He couldn't stop commenting on it.

Unfortunately, I've gotten out of the habit...life style changes. But I can definitely say something in those vegetables, whether just the Vitamin A or other vitamins and minerals, affects one's vision positively.

Re: I cured my nearsightedness with kale
KALE:

you'd be stupid NOT to eat it.

Detoxification and Weight loss

The fiber (5 grams in one cup) and sulfur in kale aid with digestion and liver health. The Vitamin C it contains hydrates your body and increases your metabolism, leading to weight loss and healthy blood sugar levels. The fiber in kale also lowers cholesterol.

Strengthen your Immune System

The vitamin A and C in kale improves your immune system and fights off viruses and bacteria. So if you feel like you’re getting a cold, add some kale to your diet. Kale has more iron than beef, making it a great source of this valuable mineral for vegans and vegetarians. It helps more oxygen get to your blood and greatly helps those who are anemic.

Healthier Hair, Skin & Nails

The healthy balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids keep your body strong, healthy and beautiful from the inside out. Kale gives your skin a beautiful hue as well as preventing wrinkles and loose skin. This green also protects your skin from UV rays.

See Clearly and Stand Strong

Vitamin A keeps your eyes from optical diseases that come with age. It also helps store vitamins in the retina. The calcium and vitamin K and D keep your bones strong. And if you have stiff joints, the Vitamin C keeps them flexible.

Anti-inflammatory

The omega-3 fatty acids in kale help fight and alleviate arthritis, autoimmune disorders and asthma. The vitamin C provided helps relieve stiff joints and makes them more flexible and less painful.

Fighting Disease

Kale aids in releasing toxins in the body that can cause and lead to life-threatening diseases. It helps fight off and alleviate various cancers, especially colon, prostate and ovarian. The vitamin K helps with Alzheimer’s disease as it may forestall the effects of mental aging. The folic acid and B6 provide cardiovascular support and prevent heart disease.

 Quoting: BRIEF


There is mounting evidence that diet does play a part - carbs, and particularly over consumption of wheat products. Studies are showing that in countries such as China, where the population has begun eating wheat (when it wasn't a dietary staple in the past), at a certain point in youth, the children are susceptible. They are also finding certain breeds of dogs who are eating wheat products are starting to go near-sighted also (labs specifically mentioned).

I stopped eating wheat last summer. I went to the eye doctor for my annual check-up 1 1/2 weeks ago and my eyes have improved significantly.

There may be problems that develop over time with a poor diet, but telling someone that genetic nearsightedness or astigmatism can be cured by eating Kale is absurd and a lie...if you are born with an arm growing out of your forehead, no amount of kale or carrots is going to fix that.

Listen carefully. Most if not all this stuff is not, I repreat, NOT genetic. That IS the lie. This stuff is not genetic. The causes for illness are diet. You eat certain food like sugar and bread and you get 5600 diseases. You take that sugar and carbs out of your diet and you get better. Nothing to do with Uncle Herman, Aunt Matilda or Grampa Joey!! That is a FACT! Really!! And this IS good news!!!!!!!!! The docs keep telling everyone THE LIE of hereditary illness and it is BS!!

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 15740069


Kale has more beta carotene than carrots. I have suffered from ulcerative colitis for 20 years (unknown to me :P) and people with that ailment have dangerously low vitamin A levels.

Taking vitamin A suppliments will kill you or make UC worse unless it is Beta Carotene, which somehow heals the gut and re-starts the process of Vitamin A absorption.

Oh, by UC is cured since I stopped eating wheat and dairy. It might have been caused by Accutane or a mystery shot I got from the Air Force... fuckers.
