At the beginning of the last century, the world heard a sensational statement made by an American optometrist William Bates. According to him, vision can be returned at any age. In this case, you do not need to resort to the use of optical means and medicines. According to Bates, for this it is enough to perform special exercises. The famous ophthalmologist has developed his own method to restore vision. This unique method subsequently gained popularity in countries around the world. Until now, this technique has not received official recognition. But, nevertheless, a large number of people use it, hoping to improve their eyesight.

So the man is arranged that he wants to achieve his cherished goal without making special efforts for this. That is why new, non-laborious, but at the same time effective technologies are being developed that relate to all areas of human activity. The same can be said about the Bates method. He has gone the way of improvement thanks to the adherents of non-drug healing of the body.
The most successful development is the Shichko method. Reviews on the direction of self-programming received the highest ratings from users. The psychophysiologist Gennady Aleksandrovich Shichko is the author of numerous works on getting rid of bad habits. In one of his works, he combined his methodology with the classical Bates methodology. At first glance, it seems that the scientist took up a new kind of work. However, Bates was also involved in replacing bad visual habits with good ones. For example, eye strain, according to the American ophthalmologist, needs to be replaced by relaxation, and rare blinking - frequent, etc. From this we can conclude (according to Bates) that a variety of pathological dependencies and bad visual habits are related.
The Shichko method quickly became popular among those who wanted to restore normal vision in a natural way. He was recognized as highly effective by some scientists, and his technique served as the basis for creating the latest advanced techniques.
The followers of this teaching were V.G. Zhdanov, as well as N.N. Afonin. In their works, they successfully combine the symbiosis of two techniques, which they call this: the Shichko-Bates method. Reviews regarding the sharing of these methods speak of accelerating the healing process by eight to ten times.
Basic principles of the Bates technique
A well-known American ophthalmologist hypothesized that accommodation is due to the action of visual muscles on the eyeball. This statement was contrary to the ideas of official medicine, which noted that this process is possible only with a change in the curvature of the lens.
According to Bates, vision loss does not occur at all due to the appearance of physical pathologies. It is associated with a stressed state of the psyche. Moreover, each type of visual disturbance, whether it is myopia or astigmatism, strabismus or farsightedness, has its own type of mental stress. In this regard, proper relaxation can have a therapeutic effect.
According to Bates, a healthy eye does not make any effort to examine any subject. This is possible due to the lack of tension in the muscles. What happens if a person makes an attempt to consider something with the application of certain efforts? Then the visual muscles tighten. If such a process occurs constantly, then the eyeball undergoes deformation. Tense muscles squeeze it. As a result, the eye loses its original shape and cannot restore it even if there is no need to examine it. In other words, Bates argues that a visually impaired person is constantly in a state of tension that he simply does not notice.
To restore normal vision, a well-known ophthalmologist urged his patients not to wear glasses. After all, they, in his opinion, despite the fact that they improve the visibility of the surrounding world, increase tension. This affects the blood supply to the eye and exacerbates visual pathology.
Research conducted in the field of ophthalmology completely refutes the method of Bates, who proposed to restore vision without glasses. But regular exercise, developed by a renowned ophthalmologist, gives a good result. The technique of their implementation is discussed in detail in a book written by Bates.
Yes, this method has not received the support of official medicine. It is common for a doctor to prescribe glasses to his patients and recommend the use of dietary supplements with blueberries. The highly profitable industry for the production of glasses, lenses and laser vision correction will never agree with the possibility of restoring normal vision in a natural non-drug way.
The essence of the Shitschko-Bates technique
The way to restore vision, proposed by the American ophthalmologist, has been constantly refined. So, recently the Shichko-Bates method has been very popular. He is actively promoted by the candidate of physical and mathematical sciences and public figure V.G. Zhdanov.
The Shitschko-Bates method arose when two separate directions merged. It included a completely effective theory of the American ophthalmologist and a cure proposed by a psychoanalyst. This made it possible to strengthen the psychological component of all the exercises performed.
The Shichko method involves maintaining certain records in the evening. These are verified phrases with the help of which the foundation of a new life program of the patient is created, which allows restoring health, in particular, vision.
A well-known psychoanalyst discovered the phenomenon of the destruction of harmful programs in a dream after a person wrote self-suggesting phrases. The Shichko method is based on the effect on the patient’s consciousness of the word written by him. After all, it is much more effective than heard, said or read. The necessary settings should be complete phrases without abbreviations. After filling out the diary, the patient is invited to do one of Bates' exercises - palming. Then, relaxing your eyes, you must go to bed.
The Shichko-Bates method of “Vision restoration” V.G. Zhdanov designed in the form of lectures. He began touring around the country, offering treatment for myopia and stuttering, hair loss and many other diseases, as well as bad habits.
Eye exercises
Most of us spend a lot of time behind a computer monitor, knowing firsthand about eye fatigue. To restore vision, you need to remove mental stress. Good vision without relaxation cannot be maintained. And here the Bates technique will come to the rescue. A renowned ophthalmologist has developed gymnastics for each type of visual impairment. Using the Shitschko-Bates method, basic exercises can be done. They help with all types of pathology.
Palming
This is one of the basic exercises developed by Bates. It is recommended to do it as often as possible. This is especially true for those moments when you feel tired eyes. Need palming before bedtime. The exercise is done for a short time (from three to five minutes). When performing it, the palms of the house should lie in front of the eyes, not pressing on them. The fingers are tightly pressed so that the light does not penetrate even through the smallest crack. During the exercise there should be no physical stress.
Pre palms are recommended to rub against each other until then, until they go warm. During palming, there should be a black field in front of closed eyes. It will appear only when the mind and body are relaxed. To achieve this state, you need to remember objects that are black. You can also concentrate on your breath, mentally counting up to a hundred.
At the beginning of palming, inevitably light images will appear in front of the eyes. They indicate overexcitation. It is necessary to imagine a black color that will creep into light spots. This will relax strong muscles.
Memories
This is another basic exercise developed by Bates. Pleasant memories perfectly relax the muscles of the face and psyche of a person. You can think about your favorite colors and an exciting journey.
Green will help relax your eyes and psyche. You can also recall numbers or letters in black.
Mental representation
This is the third basic exercise of the Bates technique. When performing it, you will need not only to remember a thing, but also to present it. Such manipulations can be done with words. To do this, it is recommended to present a completely clean white sheet of paper, and then mentally write any phrase on it, putting a dot at the end. Next, you will need to focus on this punctuation mark, moving it along an imaginary sheet.
Turns
This is the last of the basic exercises of the Bates technique. It is a way out of palming. Under the palms, closed eyes should be slightly squeezed a few times, and then loosened. Only after this hands are removed. Eyes must remain closed. Next you need to shake your head up and down and left and right. This will help restore blood circulation. This is followed by a deep breath and a quick, quick blink.
These movements will allow you to saturate the visual cones in the retina that are responsible for light perception with nutrients and oxygen. That is why after leaving palming, the colors of the world become much juicier.
Association of techniques
According to V.G. Zhdanova, effective vision restoration is possible with regular maintenance of a diary of auto-suggestions and Bates exercises. Already on the seventh day, patients begin to do without glasses.
Shichko’s “Vision Restoration” method, when applied, Bates exercises are performed, causes various responses. Some believe that it does not contribute to the restoration of vision. The Shichko method receives completely opposite reviews. For some people, it has become the only way to good vision.
The Shichko method, combined with
the Bates method, can bring a positive result, but its effectiveness depends on some factors. Among them are the following:
1. The diagnosis . In the event that vision is reduced due to stress, and the structure of the eye is not changed, the chance of restoring vision using this technique is very high.
2. Suggestibility . A person will have a great chance of restoring vision according to the Shichko-Bates method if he is well prone to suggestion.
3. Desire and systematic. Nothing will happen if you do nothing. Only the efforts made will allow you to get the desired result. So for the restoration of vision you will need to deal with systematically.
Bates exercises and the Shichko method, if not completely restore vision, will at least significantly improve it.
Tobacco Addiction Elimination
Every smoker will at least sometimes think about how to give up cigarettes. And here the Shichko method can come to the rescue. Smoking, according to a well-known psychologist, is a dependence on which no one can force a person to get rid of, except himself. Shichko developed his method for more than thirteen years. Quitting smoking using this method is not difficult. A person should direct all his forces to self-liberation. In other words, the patient must carry out painstaking work on himself.
An additional force will be public opinion and the external environment. If you use the Shichko method to quit smoking, then you will need to go through several stages:
- awareness of the presence of pathology in the form of dependence on tobacco and the adoption of a firm decision to get rid of it;
- analysis of sensations during smoking;
- a record of your emotional state in a special diary;
- conducting special tests based on the study of individual characteristics and installation on the rejection of cigarettes;
- recording the results in a diary in the form of notes reflecting the change in life after getting rid of nicotine addiction.
Alcohol addiction
Gennady Shichko and his method of sobering up drunkards on the job and without drugs is popular in certain circles. The scientist was a psychologist, in addition, he is a candidate of biological sciences. Shichko worked as a senior researcher at the Research Institute of Experimental Medicine. The psychologist gave this institution more than 30 years of his life. During this period, he wrote a number of scientific works, including a monograph on conditioned reflexes, as well as a work on the second signal system and its mechanisms.
In order to sober up drunkards and alcoholics, Shichko developed an effective method. The book in which he is described gives an idea of the technique of getting rid of this dependence.
According to Shichko, alcoholism is not a disease. A person with a habit of drinking alcohol is a programmed individual. The Shichko method eliminates alcoholism not by medical, but by pedagogical work. And it is not surprising that the psychologist called his patients listeners.
The process of getting rid of bad habits began with a questionnaire. This made it possible to develop an individual approach tactic for each person. In addition, in the process of reflection and remembrance, the drinker more distinctly began to realize his position.
Of particular importance was the diary, the filling of which at bedtime also made it possible to quit drinking. The Shichko method is based on the physiological ability of the brain to concentrate. The psychologist developed an aversion to the drinker for alcohol. At the same time, he sought that refusal of alcohol was absolutely painful for the patient.
Removing the need for alcohol is the first step in the work. The next task is to change the attitude to alcohol. A person may no longer need strong drinks, and alcoholism does not disappear. For the final improvement, it is required to quench the habit of consuming alcohol-containing drinks. In this case, the patient is presented with the whole cycle of lessons the truth about alcohol, as well as its effects on the human body and society. The information received should be recorded by keeping a diary. Only in this case, a person will think over the facts presented to him, weigh them and be convinced of the senselessness of a destructive habit. At the same time, the idea of the need to lead a sober lifestyle will finally get stronger .
It is worth saying that the results of this method were simply amazing. Even the most inveterate drunkards, who were not helped by other methods of treatment, quit drinking after ten days.
Getting rid of extra pounds
In the late 70s of the last century, American psychotherapists for the first time applied auto-training for weight loss as an independent technique. His goal was to influence the human subconscious for a more efficient and quick perception of new healthy habits.
Shichko's method for losing weight is similar to the above. It is used by many people in order to reduce their weight. What is the essence of this technique? According to psychologists, overeating, lack of rest and lack of exercise are not just bad habits. Unfortunately, these actions have become stereotyped. For many generations of people, a program has taken root in the subconscious, the essence of which was overeating, relaxing on the couch and eliminating physical exertion. The body’s natural response to these habits is being overweight. You can get rid of extra pounds only by reprogramming the subconscious.
In the usual way, it’s very difficult for many people to lose weight. This requires willpower. The Shichko method for losing weight includes a number of exercises. All of them are aimed at developing strong-willed qualities in an individual. The essence of the technique is as follows. The patient gives himself a specific command. He requires himself to do as a slender healthy person does. The command is “written” into the subconscious, and if it is repeated many times, it will “erase” the stereotype “eat more and move less”. As a result, human behavior will change, and extra pounds will go away on their own.
Shichko notes that the effect on the subconscious will be much more effective if it is carried out before bedtime and during the hours of morning awakening. During this period, consciousness is silent, and there is a chance to reach the very depths of the psyche. The programmed rules will need to be followed in real life. If you decide to run in the mornings, be sure to do it, if you have accepted for yourself the rule on reducing the diet, then by all means reduce the amount of foods consumed.
With good visual perception, a presentation can be prepared with pictures reflecting all the planned actions that will lead to a slim figure. The resulting text will need to “play” after waking up and before bedtime.
