SEEIN FOREVER: AN INTEGRATIVE AND WHOLE HEALTH
Where Science Meets BODY+MIND+SPIRIT
Approach to Longevity of Vision
By Ruth Ferraz
Hi beloveds, this post is about my summarizing of the webinar I participated at September/24/2025 with the Holistic Optometrists Dr. Grossman and Dra. Banik, through Zoom App.
Since last year, May/2024, I am been interested in research about Holistic Optometry, because I received the diagnostic of early Macular Degeneration, it is just an early one but if it progressed can provoke blindness. According to Regular Medicine, it doesn't have treatment, then I am still researching about Holistic Treatments, now specifically with Dr. Marc Grossman, from Natural Eye Care, he has 45 years of experience in this area. I have studied and practice with a Visual Coach the of work of Dra. Tatiana Gebrael Capanema from Brazil since May/2024. She studied with Dr. Meir Schneider in San Francisco about Natural Vision Improvement, I have studied the book of Dr. Schneider: Vision for Life, even have a review in my channel in You Tube about the book.
Since June/2025 I am taking the Visual Supplements from Dr. Grossman to help my eyes to be healed.
Since last May/2024 I am not using glasses anymore. I was needing glasses to see far and sunglasses, because I had a very bad light sensitivity. Praise, I am free from use glasses, even my Driver`s License doesn't have saying I need to use Corrective Lens, no restrictions anymore, since June/2025. I can see the signs in the streets and roads, lights, very good, everything is clear. Amazing! I am still improving to get 100% perfect vision, but I am in the right way.
The Holistic Treatment really works and besides this, according to my researching about Dr. Paul Dennilson and Dra. Betty Edwards works and books, the practice with myself, working out the eyes through drawing or specific exercises, help to connect the Brain Hemispheres, which I know enhance skills like creativity and others. The eyes are the extension of the brain and even have the same kind of tissue, as Dr. Grossman quotes. I am a witness for this also, because I finally became an Professional Artist, after all. This work brought me more confidence as I am seeing every day better and better with my skills enhanced.
I disclaime that I am not a doctor physician, specially an optometrist to prescribe medicine, but I am a teacher and I can give tips to help the eyes or health in general, per example to say:
- I can teach people blink properly, closing the eyelids and stay closed for 2 seconds,
- according some doctors we should blink every 3 seconds, don't stay in screen more than 30 minutes without a break of 10 minutes to relax the eyes, do massage, etc.
I participated in a Webinar online, 09/24, through Zoom with Dr. Marc Grossman and Dra. Rudrani Banik, both Holistic Optometrists. The theme was: SEEING FOREVER: Where Science meets Body, Mind and Spirit, and approach of Longevity of Vision. I liked so much that I need to share with everybody.
In the first part Dra. Banik starting talking about how her researching of this holistic way of healing started. It was because sometime ago she was suffering with a lot of migraine, very intense, all day The conventional or Allopathic Medicine was not being able to help here to be healed. That time she was already an Ophthalmologist, but then she started found out a way to heal naturally using nutrition + lifestyle + exercises, and bringing all this together in order to get BODY +MIND in HARMONY.
Next part of the webinar Dr. Marc Grossman spoke about his career as a doctor. He first started as an Acupuncturist, because he was in love with the Chinese Medicine, which has 5000 years old and it looks to treat the all being. They treat first the person behind the disease. Then he started to do the same after he became an Optometrist. He is looking always to treat the person behind the eye.
In Chinese Medicine the Right is the father and the Left is the mother.
He emphases the importance of to relax the brain.
Dr. Grossman like the most famous quote of Shakespeare:
``The eyes are the window of the soul.``
Another quote he likes from Einstein is:
``I have no special talents. I am only passion-ately curious``
According Dr. Grossman the we eyes have the same tissue that the brain have. He also says that music and art help to be heal them, because it works with emotions, which when blocked can cause disease in the mind, like depression or in parts of the physical body. He continues his speech saying that the conventional medicine say that a health problem, per example glaucoma or cataract, just should be monitored if become worse they will do a surgery. But he right way is to work out with prevention to help to save the VISION, without the need sometimes, of a surgery. I would say not just vision but the all person, mind and body.
Dra. Banik return to the meeting saying:
- Yes, prevention save the vision. She emphases nutrition, as she have even a book with recipes for the eyes health. She said the eyes lens need LUTEIN, which is present in green leaves and organic eggs. Other nutrients are: Macula Favonoids, Zeaxanthin and Mesozantin.
She also said that our meals should be colorful like a rainbow with 21 diffent colors EACH DAY!
We quotes that we should avoid the SAD = Proscessed Food:
Standard
American
Diet
She said the eyes are formed with 40 different parts and 200 kinds of cells. They are very unique part of the body with so much special cells that other parts don`t have so many.
We should each 5 cups of vegies per day, specially with green leaves like spinach and kale. It good to eat not just the green Bell Pepper but the yellow and orange also, corn and spices like cayenne and paprika
Dr. Banik tauch some Simple Eyes Exercises:
1. Blinking
15 times , 3 times per week.
2. EYE YOGA
