Episode 049: July 1923 with Esther Joy van der Werf and Ainhoa de Federico

In the forty-ninth episode of the Better Eyesight Podcast, Esther Joy van der Werf and Ainhoa de Federico read through the forty-ninth Better Eyesight magazine that was originally published in July 1923 by Dr. William H. Bates, the pioneer of natural vision improvement.

Exactly 100 years later, these two natural vision educators breathe life back into the words of Dr. Bates, and also provide some modern commentary on the topics brought up in each article.
