Post: Re: the person who says it takes 35 years

Thread: Question about Palming
Post: Question about Palming

Swinging has helped me as well, but not to the extent as central fixation or palming has.

Post: Re: Sun Treatment and Pain

Carefull though with the rising and setting suns. The light is not as intense, so you can end up staring at it with strain, which is how I developed the scotoma I currently have. Temporary, but anno...
