| What Is Iridology |
Iridology is the science and practice of analyzing the iris, the most complex external structure of the human anatomy. The iris is connected to every organ and tissue of the body through the brain and nervous system. It is in direct contact with the body's bio-energetic, biochemical, structural, hormonal, and metabolic processes via the nerves, blood vessels, muscle fibers, and lymph. Iridology is expanding rapidly as it is becoming known as a valuable tool for preventive healthcare. Holistically, it is used to accurately assess the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual patterns and weaknesses for complete health analysis. It is completely painless, non-invasive, and economically viable while providing valuable therapeutic and preventive health care information.
Most Iridologists also incorporate the study of Sclerology into their assessments. Sclerology is the study of the whites of the eyes as they relate to the person's health. Interpreting the red lines, colorations, and markings in the sclera are closely associated with the present pathology of the body. This is based on the twelve meridians and each meridian's yin and yang aspect. The Chinese saw the lines in the sclera as a reflection of the lymphatic fluid which bathes every cell concerning the principles of acupuncture. This principle concludes that imbalances in the meridian energy register in the sclera. Native American Indians also analyzed the eyes to understand better the stresses affecting a person's health.
Nature has provided us with an invaluable insight into the vital status of the health of any individual through the sciences of Iridology and serology. Through analyzing the eyes, it enables us to ascertain the person's genetic predisposition to health and disease, the general constitution, as well as organ and gland influence on other bodily systems. Personality tendencies, thought and emotional patterns, and deeper soul-level issues can also be recognized, making the eyes indeed the windows to not only the body but the mind and soul.
Iridology has progressed tremendously since the mid-1800s. Numerous doctors and scientists have researched Iridology on humans over the past 125 years, and it has become a respected practice used by many medical doctors and naturopaths worldwide. Dr. Bernard Jensen, renowned Iridologist and Nutritionist, pioneered the science of Iridology here in the U.S. Dr. David J Pesek, Ph.D. has continued and expanded upon Jensen's work to develop one of the most comprehensive iris charts used today, integrating the thought and emotional patterns with the physical health, and improving the understanding of the brain flare areas.
With today's technology and the use of microscopes and acceptable digital imaging, many medical doctors, naturopaths, and psychologists from England, Germany, Italy, France, the United States, Australia, Canada, and Russia have been advancing the field of iris analysis over the past 20 years with seemingly unlimited potential. The brain areas, which are analyzed in the upper quadrant of the iris, have further defined emotional and spiritual health. Time-Risk assessment has been documented, proven, and shared with advanced iridologists worldwide.
Time-Risk is a fascinating degree of exactitude, using the posterior epithelial cells which wrap around the pupil to determine the actual time when imbalances in the body, mind, spirit may have occurred from childhood until old age.
Research projects are currently being done by many Iridologists/Researchers worldwide. One study in progress is being done by the American College of Iridology which targets the markers in the corresponding intestinal area of the iris to pinpoint bowel disease in its early stages. This will rapidly bolster Iridology in the United States as an integral part of the preventive health care system by understanding genetic influences and learning how to care for the body to avoid potential disease properly.
We can see that Iridology is taken quite seriously by influential doctors who are open to the progress of an alternative nature. John Andrews, a top Iridologist and researcher from the United Kingdom, publishes the Advanced Iridology Research Journal quarterly, including many works from Dr. Danielle LoRito, MD from Italy, Dr. Mikhail Dailakis, MD from Greece, Dr. Vincent Di Spazio from Italy, Dr. David Borow, an oncologist and medical Iridologist from Austria, Prof. Javier Griso Salome from Spain, Prof. Serge Jurasunas from Portugal, and many others. This Journal includes Profiling Aging through Iridology, Multiple Sclerosis and Iridology, Hypoglycemia, Dysbiosis, Intestinal Immunology, Biophysics, Quantitive and Qualitative Biochemistry, and Iridology Potential in Medicine.
The iris will alert us to the early signs of approaching dis-ease. However, any well-educated Iridologist will be sure to warn that the iris cannot diagnose disease but can recognize potentials for disease and toxic accumulations and tissue weakness within the body. Proper corrective measures can be applied as the evaluations are made, and the stress conditions are understood. The body can then more easily adjust and alleviate the abnormal stress resulting in a greater degree of health and enabling one to avert any threatening disease potentially.
Each eye gives us different information. The left eye correlates with the left side of the body and the right side of the brain, which is the feminine, creative, conceptual, intuitive side, relating to our emotional selves. The right eye correlates to the right side of the body and the left side of the brain, which is the analytical, practical, linear, masculine side and relates to our work and logical self.
Thus the eye is the very aware informant regarding the CAUSE of body stressors. Iridologists trained in interpreting the indications portrayed in the eye have the advantage of occupying command central rather than a peripheral monitor such as blood, hair, tongue, or urine analysis, which do not have full access to all of the body information (although each of these diagnostic systems provides specific valuable information). Practically speaking, the right hand may not know what the left hand is doing, but the brain centers know what both hands are doing simultaneously, and the eye is privy to that information.
Knowing the various stressors on the body can be essential in preventive health care. These stressors may be simple, moderate, or severe. They can represent nutritional deficiencies, poor circulation, congestion, fatigue, pH acid/alkaline imbalance, infections (bacterial, viral, parasitic), nerve stress, toxic accumulations, and abnormal cellular activity. Patterns may register an abnormal stress development long before any severe effects are experienced. With the stress conditions understood, proper corrective measures can be applied by nurturing the causative factors with natural therapies (nutrition, herbology, enzyme therapy, homeopathy, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, counseling, etc.), leading to a greater degree of health.
Your Iridologist is an integral part of a health care team. I encourage my clients to discuss the health care analysis and program I provide with their doctors or other health care providers. Some doctors understand the value of such an analysis and will refer clients to an Iridologist for a whole-body assessment, often reducing the discomfort, costs, and time involved for the patient.
The eyes can also show us the cleansing and healing signs as the body adjusts to a more optimum state of health. All we need are the keys to understanding the symbols. And here it is, looking right into our eyes!
