		<description>Thanks for telling us about this, Chip. It sounds like you've gotten some great results! 

My eyesight is steadily improving but it is definitely not measured on a matter of weeks, or even months - in the end I think it will have taken two years to get my natural vision back. 

It's so surprising to me that this has been such a popular subject on this blog - but I suppose it makes sense - it's hard to find someone without any eyes.</description>

		<description>I have Brian's little booklet from the 1990's along with the three (3) pairs or plus lenses that came with it.  As much as I tried, I was never able to get my eyes to auto clear the text.  I too questioned the owners of the site visionfreedom.com some time ago because I thought I was corresponding with Brian.   I asked about Brian because the phone number on the booklet was not working.  I got the same boiler plate reply indicating he was in prison.  

Anyway, so I ordered Mr. Carter's material for $25 and have followed his suggestions as outlined in his material.  I have progressed from 20/200 (L) and 20/140 (R) to 20/40 in each eye.  The program has been fantastic in so many ways.  I'm healthy, slim ... my blood pressure and cholesterol are both down.  

@ Lindsey:  I can tell you for sure that there is nothing here that is stolen from Brian.  Clearly Brian's domain expired and some new folks picked it up.  This happens every day.  Their response to your email seems unprofessional but from my reading of your email transcript, your email to them had a very obvious accusatory undertone which seems unwarranted.</description>

		<description>Lindsey,

First and foremost: that's pretty childish behavior coming from the current Vision Freedom folks. 

Secondly, as far as them have possibly stolen Brian's work, in my humble opinion (and for what it's worth), even though it seems you have to buy something from them in order to know exactly what they offer, but on the basis of the sales pitch on their website, it doesn't seem much like Brian's work. 

I still have his revision no. 24 Vision Freedom ("corrective vision through  exercise") book from 1996 (yes!), and it's full of very thorough material that's specific and technical, about the function of the eye, different eyesight impairments, and so on. The new owners of visionfreedom.com seem to have a different emphasis, more motivational, and to focus on issues that Brian didn't cover so much, such as diet. And I don't see one reference on their website to the coolest (in my humble opinion) element in Brian's book, the "autofocus" phenomenon.

So, perhaps they're just folks in the same field doing something similar? The grassroots-eyesight-therapy field. Haha. It seems unlikely, I know, but honestly I've seen a lot of books on eyesight therapy, and I feel I'd recognize Brian's work if I someone had stolen it. 

In any case Lindsey, I'm glad you're sticking up for your Uncle. I'm never getting rid of the cool little booklet he made, that's for sure!</description>

		<description>I inquired about the new Vision freedom website as it was a lot of my Uncle Brians information and everything looked off..  Here is what I got back in response..  Very upset that someone is stealing my Uncle's information..   Read the below thread of emails.. Definely something is not right with this website.

Mr. William Carter is the author of the Vision Freedom report that you saw referenced on the web-site. Mr. Carter has successfully restored his vision using the approach he illustrates in his report.  He lives and works in northern California. Although he strives to maintain 
privacy for his family, Mr. Carter will answer questions addressed directly to him at this e-mail address. I handle all other correspondence at this same address. 

Victor, Montana is apparently the location of the previous owner of this URL - a man by the name of Brian Severson.  I can not speak authoritatively regarding Mr. Severson. It does seem  that he was the "owner" of this URL www.visionfreedom.com many years ago and apparently there are still some internet references to him. We have had other inquiries about him. Although I can't be sure, a google search seems to indicate that he may be in prison. Read the following link but realize that I do not know for sure if this is the same man. However, this man does have the same name and live in the same town in Montana as the Brian Severson that previously had this web site. My guess is that prison is the reason he no longer has a web site.

There is NO CONNECTION between the two men.

Hmmmm.  
All i asked was if this was based out of Montana, but thank you for the information.. It's funny though how someone with the same website as my Uncle Brian has similar information..But there is NO connection between the two.?  It's like his company and all of his information was stolen from him under his nose..

		<description>Perpaymos,

It's just that I ran across his little booklet on Vision improvement, and it had a couple of core ideas that kept me trying to make it work. At the time, his method didn't work at all for me, but now looking back, finally having real improvements in my vision, I can see that he made me aware of a perceptual phenomenon that is really important. He named it an "autofocus".

Any time one's vision, even for a moment, clears up, even partially, that's an "autofocus". The goal is to make this happen as often as possible, whatever you have to do. I used to think I was imagining it when my vision cleared up for a split second. Now I know better, as my clearing-ups stretch to 30 seconds and beyond. 

Due credit and thanks to Brian.</description>
