Doubt the studies showing efficacy of an intervention carried out by those behind the intervention

Which is why we at VINO OPTICS never funded our own study

Two brand new medical publications attesting to the efficacy of my company’s VINO OPTICS Vein Finder Glasses just appeared in the literature.

As some of you know, my optics company is behind the world’s only medical protective eyewear that augments veins (and the only that aids color deficients). It emanates from my seminal 2006 discovery that primate color vision evolved for seeing O2 variations of blood under the skin, so as to detect emotion, state and health, something also covered in my earlier book, VISION REVOLUTION.

Long ago we at VINO OPTICS chose to NOT fund our own studies on the efficacy of our Vein Finder Glasses, and we made that decision for two reasons.

First, that they work is immediately obvious so long as there’s enough white light and no glare. No study needed.

Even so, people like to see studies, even of the super obvious.

But, if we funded the studies, they’d be much less convincing than if the studies happened organically from independent investigators. Some we didn’t do it.

So it’s great to see these two recent studies (below) come out talking about how our Vein Finder tech is integral to their practice.

And it’s also a reminder not to trust Big Pharma data. I knew folks wouldn’t trust my data if we had done the work and published it, and I would have considered that to be a bold and brazen ploy, frankly.

Instead, my attitude has been to be patient and let the medical market slowly absorb the tech and report back on their own, rather than trying to drive it down people’s throats with, just for example, 24/7 ads about how you’re a terrible person if you don’t use our technology. 🤷
