HETEROPHORIA, AGORAPHOBIA, AND PROOF

Yes the proof is in the prism glasses. I want to talk to you about a special proof that prism glasses really take agoraphobia symptoms away.
About a year and a half my son and daughter in law went to see Dr. Debbie in Michigan. Maybe you remember I told you about their trip. Any way Dana needed 1 prism put into her glasses. At the time she felt she had some improvements in her health. She felt better some pains she always had seemed to disappear but in time she forgot all about these improvements. About two months ago she decided she needed a new pair of glasses to see better. I advised her to bring her prescription with her that she had received from Dr. Debbie and have them put that prism into them. She really didn't think it would matter. After wearing her new prism less glasses for about 2 months she realized a lot of symptoms she thought were gone were back. Then she realized it was the glasses! She went back to her old glasses and lo and behold the symptoms left. She truly is  a believer now.
She doesn't have agoraphobia or for that matter hyperphoria. But she has some discrepancy between her two eyes. Just enough to feel not quite right. HETEROPHORIA is measured in diopters most people with hyperphoria are at least 15 diopters off. I have over 9 prisms in my glasses. Dana had 1, so you can see there is a big difference but just that little bit made her feel better. How much better could you feel if you have been diagnosed with agoraphobia. This condition is called HETEROPHORIA. Don't go running off to your nearest eye doctor they can't help you. Dr. Debbie of Vision Specialists of Michigan is a pioneer in this field and the only one as of this writing who is dealing with this problem.

AGORAPHOBIA THE ZIPPY ZIP AND YOU!

What's a ZIPPY ZIP? Glad you asked. Here's a picture of a zippy zip.

I have something very interesting to tell you about this. I like to watch Shark Tank and one night this item was shown. I thought Oh my Gosh this sound like an analogy of what I am trying to get across about your eyes. Here is how it works. When a baby is new born he is scared by a feeling of falling or unreality. Why? Because in the womb when he flings his hands he feels the sides of the sack he is in but after he's born he doesn't feel anything and wakes up because he is afraid. He has no borders to tell him he is alright. It's like driving you have to be able to see the white line in the middle or the edge of the road to be able to guide your self and know you are still on the road. What they do today is swaddle the baby, meaning they put a tight blanket around the baby including the baby's arms. After the baby gets older he manages to get loose of this wrapping and wakes himself because he can't feel the boundary any more. This brings on anxiety and fear. Does this sound like something you have?

That is the same way it is with our eyes! Because both eyes don't see the same thing at the same level it leaves us anxious and fearful. Not only that but the eye muscle keeps twitching and that leaves us with a feeling of being jerked back and forth. Like the baby we would just like to cry. We can't put a ZIPPY ZIP on our eyes but we can put prism's in glasses and bring our eyes into alignment and pretty much get rid of almost 85 to 95% of our symptoms. 

The condition is called HETEROPHORIA it effects all of those who have AGORAPHOBIA!

Now don't go running off to the eye doctor because he will probably tell you that you don't have this condition. Why? Because he was not told about it in eye school. He was told there is such a thing as one eye higher than the other but that the eye muscle would compensate for the difference. That may be true for a while but don't count on that information to hold for your whole lifetime.The only doctor who is a pioneer in this field is Vision Specialists of Michigan. www.vsofm.com.

I DID IT!

Yes I did it. After stressing out for over a year about taking a on road test for a new drivers license I did it. The last one I took was over 56 years ago. Yup you heard that right. My birthday is the 25th of May which is in 5 day but I took it two days ago.

I have to tell you without my prism glasses there would have been absolutely no way. The worst part was the pre- anxiety before I went. Took me two day to come back down off the ceiling after this win.

Please click on the test on the right and see if you can start living your life again. It's never too late I am living proof of that. The hardest thing about getting the glasses is finding someone knowledgeable enough to test you. The best place to start is at "Vision Specialists of Michigan". They are now training new doctors in different states, maybe your state has one of these doctors. Just call them and tell them Yolanda told you to call. I'm one of their success stories.

Love all you guys, Yolanda

THE SIMPLE ANSWER TO HETEROPHORIA AND AGORAPHOBIA

Sometimes there is a simple answer but we have concluded in our minds that complex things need complex and involved answers. I bring this up because this is how it is with agoraphobia and hyperphoria.

Some examples: When country's used ships to get produce and products and people to other ports to sell their goods and make money they encountered an illness called scurvy. This was a deadly disease that killed many people. One day while docked at a port that had an abundance of lime trees the people said just eat these limes and your scurvy will go away. We now know that there was Vitamin C in these limes that took it away. These sailors came to be known as LIMEYS.

Another example: One day a baby who had a swelling in his cheek was taken to a pediatrician. His parents waited anxiously for 3 hours to see the doctor. When he was finally looked at by the doctor they were told that they should just give the baby some salt or sugar and he would be fine. The parents threw one fit insisting that he have ex rays and antibiotics and pills. They would not believe that sugar and salt would cure this complex problem.

Does this sound like you? Are you believing that your agoraphobia is being caused by your dysfunctional childhood? The trauma you suffered when you were molested? Maybe it was because your parents divorced after you were born. You were fat or skinny and the kids picked on you at school. The observations are many and we can all fit into these somehow.
We try desensitization. We go with our therapy person and do the thing we fear. But it always comes back. So we say we have relapsed. We keep trying over and over to get different results. The stories are numerous on the internet.

What you need is Vitamin C! What! OK I don't really mean Vitamin C although it would be good for you I mean you need the simple answer. Of course that answer is your EYES. Yes your EYES are causing all your problems and symptoms. Maybe you did have a crummy childhood but it didn't cause your agoraphobia. Actually it came from a family member. This is inherited! I am sure most of you can find someone in your family that wasn't quite right. There is also the case of TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY AND SEIZURES. Agoraphobia and HETEROPHORIA can be caused by them.

When you are young your eye muscle will make up the difference of one eye higher than the other but as you get older and more trauma and problems come into your life the eye muscle gives up and BINGO you can't leave your house. Sometimes this can happen to the very young at birth the eye muscle just doesn't help. Some times you have episodes or times when this happens and then it goes back to helping. It is kind of like a remission. This condition has different levels. Some people can't leave their house and are home bound for years, others can function in society even though they are anxious and troubled most of the time.
This problem to the agoraphobic is totally complex. Doctors have no answers and no one else has either.

THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE, IT'S YOUR EYES!

Now don't go running off to the nearest eye doctor because they can't help you. WHY? Because they weren't trained in this. They were told in school the eye muscle will correct this condition. WRONG!

MEN AND AGORAPHOBIA

Having Agoraphobia is about as bad as it can get. But as my friend Luther from MD Junction pointed out being a man and having agoraphobia is worse. They are mostly the bread winners and the car drivers. Their looked at as the protectors and strong person in the family. It is especially hard to have this condition if your a man. A woman can pretty much hide behind her husband. My heart goes out to all of you who are putting up with this condition and trying to be the bread winner in the family. Please read my posts here and see if it would apply to you. Also take the test and grade yourself.

The best to all of you, Love, Yolanda
