description: The author, Harry Benjamin was a distinguished naturopath who took up his profession after being cured of extreme myopia as a result of practicing the system of eye training for defective vision devised by Dr. William H. Bates, a New York opthalmologist. But in one way Benjamin improved on Bates, fro the latter's system took no account of correct diet as an aid to improved vision. Benjamin's eyes improved when he first started the Bates treatment but then they refused to respond any further, until a naturopath friend put him on a Nature Cure diet. This consists of eating natural, uncooked fruits and vegetables, but it is not necessary to become a complete vegetarian in order to benefit from the system. Meat or fish are not forbidden but the author cautions that they should be eaten sparingly and be as fresh as possible.
