Within a week he was perfectly all right by exercising mental relaxation and by avoiding glasses for reading. A boy suffering from severe headache for three months was cured by reading fine print in candlelight and by reducing the distance of holding his book. A girl was suffering from constant headache for six years and had a pair of glasses and had no relief by any treatment. She was cured within a few days by correct palming.
Some patients complain of headache when they put on glasses. Usually the number is high in such cases. A lady was using plus glasses all the time. She often suffered from severe attacks of headache and dizziness. She was cured of headache by not using the glasses and by frequent palming.
