Dehydration:
Add information about overactive
bladder, incontinence
|
|
Detoxification:
Bates’ ‘swinging’
exercise, which improves mobility, also improves the ability of the eyes to
eliminate toxins?
Blue Light and Detoxification:
“In many primate studies, blue light has been
shown to cause a photochemical reaction that produces free radicals in the
RPE and the rods and cones. Researchers believe that these free
radicals [theoretical] interact with the high oxygen and lipid content
in human rod and cone tips to produce abnormal chunks of metabolized
waste that cannot be properly processed by the RPE, clogging up the
macula's maintenance system and producing dry macular degeneration.”

Glare
*anti-glare (lets more
light through) vs. tinted glasses; anti-glare and tinted glasses
*eyestrain

Breathing:
Methods of improving
respiration
*breathing exercises
*aerobic exercise
*reducing stress, increasing
alpha waves (e.g. Bates’ palming, swinging exercises)
*treating chronic
dehydration; histamine and the water rationing system

Meditation
*advantages of sitting in
the cross legged (Burmese) position
*add link to section
Posture: Weak Glutes

Bates Method:
Eystrain from ‘trying to
see’
*corrective lenses
*glare, dark sunglasses
*meditation, visualization
mistakes
*fatigue, light
sensitivity
*laterality, amblyopia
*eye contact, convergence
insufficiency
*vision and proprioception

Winged Scapula
If stretching the lat muscle of arm with winged scapula condition,
want to also stretch other side to avoid laterality issues
|
|
Adrenaline Addiction
*adrenaline test
*clutter
|
|
Meditation
Meditation sitting posture improves foot posture and
proprioception?
·
Posture: Footwear
Modification

|
Powerstrip
*If the contrast (brightness also) control of your monitor
is limited, you may be able to use PowerStrip to lower the contrast even
further (color profiles menu)

Water Bottles:
“…reusing personal water bottles is acceptable provided you
rinse them with some chlorinated tap water after they are empty and check
the under the cap for black mold. See our water bottle
section for more cleaning instructions.”
|
|
Core Temperature:
Higher core temperature
because of immune system dysfunction? (CFS)
|
|
My Theories:
Combine theories
·
Internet Addiction is Caused by Hypovolemia (Low
Blood Volume)
· Internet Addiction is Caused by a Desire to Increase
Arousal
Problems with
differentiation leads to
*obsessive compulsive
actions
*leg tension,
fibromyalgia?
*laterality problems
*CFIDS? Hypovolemia?
*Insomnia
Add link to study on how computer use affects color temperature, melatonin
excretion, heart rate, etc.
Add
suggestions (e.g. meditation for reducing core temperature and leg tension,
tinted glasses or Bates method for reducing light sensitivity)

Posture
‘Hitchhiker’ exercise can
also be done while sitting, rotating the feet instead of the hands?
|
|
Breathing
Slow breathing exercises
can be helpful for checking and correcting posture?
|
|
Dehydration
Problems with digestion
exacerbate problems with dehydration?
·
Digestion,
Dyspeptic Pain (e.g. heartburn)
·
Digestion and autism

Bates Method: Sunning
Exercise
Stretches the neck
slightly at the end of each repetition…
*increases proprioception?
*reduces pressure on the
subclavian artery?
|
|
Sleep:
Sleeping on one side causes
muscle tension in the…
*arms
*legs
*lats?
*what else?
|
|
Powerstrip
The color profile used by
Powerstrip when computer is turned on is the first color profile that was
saved? Force Powerstrip to use a new color profile by deleting all other color
profiles?

Accommodation:
Points seem to be better
accommodative targets than textures/patterns

Body Core Temperature
*Water regulates body
temperature (Batmanghelidj)
*Measuring core
temperature by measuring ear temperature
*High core temperature and
dehydration
*Insomnia
*Tactile hypersensitivity
*Drinking coffee increase
core temperature?
*Drinking alcohol gives a
false sense of a higher core temperature?
*Color temperature,
moderately cold environment (study)
*Exercise
**An aversion to exercise
because of a high body temperature?
*Causes of low body
temperature
*Seasons, SAD, body
temperature increases in the Spring
*Meditation lowers body
core temperature
*Body core temperature and
longevity
*Color temperature
**Nocturnal fall in core
temperature is suppressed by bright blue or green light, not by bright red
or dim lights (and probably by other colors, like red, that reflect blue
light)
**”The light with a high
color temperature of 6500 K more strongly suppressed the nocturnal fall of
the core temperature and the nocturnal increase of melatonin secretion than
the light with a low color temperature of 3000 K.”

Sunning exercise makes
afterimages more apparent?

Computer lenses
*determining magnifying
power of lens (in diopters)
**lens clock
