[@M_SC]

My significant vision issue actually did improve quite a bit through lifestyle change. It tracks with what’s known. I was a very indoor reading/tv person and I became an outdoors person always looking at things not up close. My prescription went from -10 to -8. Not healed by any means but the numbers are the numbers

[@ChibiJaime]

@@M_SC Okay? One, that has nothing to do with what I said, two, what I'm referring to is that this woman selling this plan is trying to sell you that she can fix your vision through her magical eye drops, spiritual healing, and eye exercises, and three, that's not going to work for everyone. Changing whether I'm inside or outside isn't going to magically fix my astigmatism; that's just not how this works. Changing your diet to see improvements is not the same as curing your vision problems with essential oils and wishful thinking.

[@asianshell]

As you age, your eyes can improve slightly. It's a natural thing that can happen. It has nothing to do with your lifestyle.

[@liv97497]

​@@M_SChypermetropia (farsighted) usually does improve as you age; it's because basically your eyes are "too small", and as you age they get nearer the "correct size" for perfect vision. As for myopia (nearsighted) sometimes there's a perceived improvement because of presbyopia which happens as you age, and causes you to lose sight of nearby objects (the reason why older people usually put things far from their face to see/read it properly). In any case, it *is* recommended that if you work with screens for example to take your eyes off of it and look at something further away every quarter of an hour or so. So while your lifestyle change isn't likely the reason for your improved eyesight, it's still a good thing that might help your vision in the long run.

I love how she lists all these conditions as “not root causes, just diagnoses”like all vision problems are illnesses that you can take medicine for. Majority of the time, vision impairment is caused by something anatomical. Near- and farsightedness are caused by the physical shape of your eye distorting where light is focused on your retina. It’s like telling an amputee that if they take a medication (or rub doterra oils on their stump), their leg will start to grow back. That’s not how any of this works.

[@taramay000]

She could damage someone’s eyes and vision. This is not okay.

God forbid 🥲 I’m so tired of children being targeted!

[@IAmOneSickPuppy]

Omggggggg. I work in the opthalmology field and this enrages me. As someone who is a -10 diopter myope it is absolutely absurd that some oils can cure my eye so that light can focus on my retina instead of in front of it. I do see parents every week that are so eager to get their kid out of glasses and I just don't understand why. Some people need glasses and there are so many cool frames out there that people are even buying Plano ones for fashion. I just hope this doesn't lead to some eye infections or chemical burns from the oils.

[@LovinglfDesigns]

My daughter has astigmatism and as she grew as a toddler she started banging into the wall when walking. Her peripheral and distance vision was becoming really bad. I remember the wonder on her face when she put on her first pair of glasses. She started jumping excitedly and said she could see all the way over there. She'd fall asleep with her glasses on as she never wanted to remove them. The fact that people like this could potentially deceive parents and stop them from helping their kids is scary indeed.

[@erinasnow]

As someone with slightly worse vision (but luckily completely correctable with glasses) Same.

[@Spencer-wc6ew]

The way you phrased that is now making me wonder if it's possible to design a liquid that refracts light in exactly the right way to basically do what glasses do when used as eye drops.

[@SarahHill84]

Another reason this can be seen as praying on desperate people: glasses are EXPENSIVE and basically a monopoly with something like 80% of eyewear being sold by Luxxotica brands. Especially in the US with our insurance and healthcare system... glasses cost a fortune and it's no wonder people would be desperate for a solution that would "heal" their eyes without knowing it's a total scam and potentially dangerous. It makes me so sad and this bogus essential oil person should be ashamed.

@@YellowFreesias I use Zenni Optical since they're also cheaper than getting them at the optometrist, but I still see a jump of anywhere between $50-$100 to my cost during checkout when I input my prescription. It's a huge, unnecessary markup once you know that lenses are very cheap to manufacture. Online glasses are still way over-priced from what it truly costs to make and ship them, leading to massive profit margins.

[@M_SC]

Lasik most definitely can’t, it is not an option for people with actually bad vision. It’s only applicable to people with mild to moderate impaired vision

[@janabomersbach4466]

I do agree they are overpriced but I have 3 separate vision problems that I have to combine in one pair so mine are always a little more than average.

[@thgritic102]

​@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley I do mine on LenSmart, and it comes out to 39.95, BUT my pair frames came from the 9.99 collection, so I wouldn't be surprised if the 12.99 ones w/ prescription came around to 50 dollars. Again, a scam but better than $100 for sure.

The ableist garbage that these “wellness” influencers spew is so infuriating. You don’t think if people could just “heal themselves” that they wouldn’t just DO that?

Samantha’s speech pattern and tone is SO similar to the videos of Ruby Franke explaining why she “parents” (abuses) her children the way she did. It’s creeping me out.

This reminds me of the person who asked my cousin on a bus if she had tried not having cerebral palsy. Was she SURE she couldn't walk? Had she tried thinking positively about it? Had she tried changing her mindset to NOT having CP?

[@robbaxter60]

The problem is there are a lot of desperate and let’s be honest naive people out there. You could do a video saying damn near anything and someone will believe you. It’s a damn shame that there are people out there who knowingly take advantage of those I’ve mentioned before. Keep it up Hannah. You’re doing the world a great service.

[@michelleprieur1]

Absolutely. I'm a nurse, and these people are dangerous. My cousin's wife has gone through cancer treatment and one of those huns tried to talk her into using oils instead of treatment. She's a very intelligent woman, but when people get desperate, they'll do anything. Then, other fools tried to get her to consume baking soda because it "kills cancer cells." Yeah, technically true, because if you go into severe ketosis and mess up your potassium levels, you'll be dead. Thankfully she came to me and I told her do not, under any circumstances, PLEASE don't do it.

Wait, you guys can see the top letter? I actually CAN’T wear glasses anymore - my prescription is so much higher in my bad eye than my good one the size difference between the lens (things looked way smaller through the thicker lens) was giving me migraines. Thank god for contacts.

I’ve worked the corporate (in-house company) side of two different MLMs. I will be writing in about my experiences with those companies soon. From the corporate side of this, shooting down the claims of independent distributors/reps (Huns) was like wack-a-mole. The minute we shut down a person for their wild claims, we found another. It was insane how many people would come up with the most asinine claims about the products. I will start working on my personal horror stories soon. Not only do I have the two that I worked on the corporate side for, I also tried my hand at selling. It will be a doozy of an email, and will probably end up an entire episode in and of itself.

[@joyfuljaj]

I would be curious if your experiences have made it into a video yet. It is good to hear there was an attempt to stop the wild claims, but clearly companies need a better strategy - if they actually want to shut down the false claims.

I can’t help it. I have to comment. Claims like this should be illegal. I work in ophthalmology and there’s no way to cure the length of your eyes (refractive errors like myopia, etc), glaucoma and other diseases such as wet AMD, etc. Glasses and contacts help you see, especially if you have a high prescription. I beg the public to not use products like this. Please be compliant with your eye drops as instructed by your eye doctor(s). I consider myself Pagan, but I know that faith alone cannot cure anything. Science does. Oh, and stop Googling symptoms!

I think this is yet another example of how people in MLM are completely disconnected from reality. Of course, that is the real purpose of encouraging them to "ignore the haters" which sometimes includes family and friends. They are so surrounded by people perpetuating the same nonsense as them that they don't even realize how out of touch they are. So I'm not surprised that she thought this "master-class" was a good idea. In fact, I'm sure even now she's being reaffirmed by those around her. Because just like a cult, or extreme religion, she was taught to completely turn off her critical thinking. I feel sorry for Mallory , she is taking the heat from this group for encouraging people to think critically about this. The work she and Hannah do is not easy. It's a work of deconstruction, but deconstruction requires people to be willing to listen. They need to come to this realization themselves, and I'm sure it can be frustrating, especially when you are being bullied by those who are still completely programmed into the cult that is MLM. Edited to correct grammar :)

I don't know if it's a Black cultural thing, but when people do something wrong we say something. We don't give them grace and look away. If people are scamming others and causing mental distress, they deserve to be called out. They deserve to have their comments flooded. They deserve the same treatment that they gave others. We can make videos left and right but in the end these people need to be deplatformed. If the platforms that we use won't do it, we have the power to do it ourselves. If they want to come on the internet, and then compound that with being grimy, I don't feel like they deserve any Grace and protection. This is something I think about every single time I hear a Creator say not to go say something or "harass" whomever is in question. 1. We have every right to and 2. They legitimately deserve backlash. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEIR CLAIMS CAN HARM SOMEONE'S HEALTH
