(NaturalNews) It's becoming common knowledge in alternative medical circles that the sun, far from being the enemy to health that western medicine has made it out to be is really our best friend when it comes to health, healing, immunity and even strengthening our eyesight. How can this be? Well in this article, I'm going to show you how and teach you a little known Taoist technique to not only improve the eyesight and eye strength, but to increase your overall immunity simply by using the sun with a simple eye exercise that only takes a few seconds to do each morning and evening.
This exercise, called "The Sun Blinking Exercise" aka "Administering Sunbeams" involves looking towards the sun using one of two different methods.
The first one is done by looking at the four points of the compass and blinking the eyes rapidly for 3-5 seconds. Look once to the north of the sun about 15 degrees above it while blinking the eyes for 3-5 seconds, then to the right (east), then below it (south), and finally to the left (West) of the sun itself. Again, don't look directly at it since the part of the retina that we want to irrigate with the UV rays and other rays from the sun exist on the side of the eyes, not in the center. This also helps prevent any damage to the eyes themselves which is why it's done before 9am and after 4pm in the evening when the sun is not too strong, but the amount of UV rays is quite sufficient to result is significant benefits.
The second exercise is a bit more advanced. Following the same rules as the previous exercise, we're going to roll our eyes around the sun for 3-5 seconds clockwise, then pause, look away for a few seconds, then repeat the roll in the opposite direction, counter-clockwise. This method provides a more complete irrigation of the retina with UV radiation. Just be careful not to let the eyes look directly At the sun as you move the eyes around it.
While these exercises and ideas may run counter to conventional western wisdom, the results of millions who have practiced these exercises over the millennia, including myself and many others, are strong evidence that they work. But don't just take my word for it, try it for yourself and see the results. At first these exercises might cause your eyes to water or throb. That is due to the epithelial cells being without sufficient UV rays for so long, as well as possible atrophy of the eye muscles, which is one reason that I like the eye rolling exercises the most, which have other benefits to vision even done by themselves.
The sun is vital to the health not only of the body through the production of vitamin D which occurs when the sun shines on our skin, but also through the "occular endocrine system" which is what is stimulated when the sun's rays enter our brain via the eyes.
The retina is the only outside nerve that has direct contact with the brain. It's therefore the best way to get the sun's vital rays directly into the brain itself. Why would we want to do that? When the sun's rays enter the brain via the optic nerve, it stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete HGH "human growth hormone". This stimulates and significantly boosts the entire immune system, as well as strengthening the eyes themselves. Of course, if we're going to be spending all day in the sun, at the beach or outdoors, then we do want to wear sunglasses to prevent sun glare from damaging the eyes and getting too much sun, especially between the hours of 10am-2pm.

I find this to be an easy exercise which provides much benefit to our health. I would love to be able to improve my eyesite and get rid of the irritating glasses!
Thanks HL, as usual, great pointers and nudges in the right direction.
(Great leads in the "deceptive food choices" thread)
Have you any insight on the "sneeze effect" we experience when greeting the sun?
I managed to cure my ever worsening near-sightedness at age 13 by simply focusing on things far without the glasses. The eye Doc marvelled at my results by age 16, (20/15, both eyes)

Eye exercises of this type work, in my experience. I've done the reverse, making myself focus on smaller and smaller print to counter my increasing farsightedness. I actually have better near vision now than I did years ago.
Also, Vit C seems to have a beneficial effect on the eyes (which contain a large amount of the stuff).
Good point about the sun's benefits, Healthy. The latest health news suggests that slathering up with sunscreen all the time isn't the healthiest option.

Thanks lovestrees... Always a pleasure to read your comments!
I have not heard of the "sneeze effect", I will have to look into it.
Amazing that you were able to heal your eyes through such a simple task! How did you know to do this? Did the doc encourage you to do so? If so, good doc!

Here we go folks... a quick and simple method to cure farsightedness and nearsightedness. I am both so would have to practice doing both.
Vitamin C is such a versitile vitamin. An anti-oxitant which cleanses the cells, destroys viruses, and builds a very healthy immune system. Keep em handy, eat one every time you think of it, throughout the day.
Yes, I have read that most sunscreens contain cancer causing ingredients.
Natural Health is an ongoing process. You learn to listen to your body and stay informed. We can not remain totally uneffected by the elements and toxins, so it is important that we detox our bodies on a regular basis, cleansing out debris, and eat raw fruits and veggies, which are the source for Live Enzymes. Everything works together and BALANCE is the Key. Nothing is Forbidden. You know what isn't so good for you... should you partake... counteract it with something that will remove the harmful effects. Eating lots of fiber will keep the intestines smooth and help the toxic waste to be eliminated quickly.

Before I began reading SO MANY books at home-(mostly sci-fi, Polk, Azimov, Ellison)... I saw the lenses other kids wore becoming thicker, and THICKER!
Since every time, their prescription glasses got thicker, I deduced that they were a crutch and not a cure. When MY vision started down the same path, I decided to TRY to see, without the crutches. Figured the real problem was with my lense muscles and optic center. Just lucky that it worked... I REALLY did not want to be stuck with ever-thicker lenses, for life.
Showed the eye Doc, at age 16, the results, and told her what I had done. I believe that she passed it on-(or someone else did it), because I heard an ad on NPR a few years back, describing my method.
About the sneezing. Just one quick sneeze when 1st receiving full sun after a long while without. (maybe it is a regional thing, we here in the rainforest must endure a long time under gray skys)
