Isaac,
Good story... and kind of reminds me of something that I have always thought
of... especially on those who go "shopping for PT's." Perhaps it wasn't the
7th PT that 'cured' him... perhaps he spontaneously recovered by the 7th
PT... and he linked it to that.
I am not saying that the glasses didn't do it, all I am saying is that it is
dangerous to link one thing to another.
Just a thought...
