Iridology also known as iridodiagnosis, is an alternative medicine and the scientific analysis of patterns and structures in the iris of the eye in which observation of patterns, colors, and other characteristics of the iris are examined for information about a patient's health.
Iridology is a form of self care and preventative approach to help one "Take Charge of Your Health." It is a form of Quantum Medicine in that ones uses ones energy, consciousness, thought, mind, awareness, observation, attention, focus, intention and pure potentiality to use methods available to prevent the manifestation of disease.
Iridology is the examination and scientific analysis of the colored portion of the eye, the iris, in order to determine factors that may be important in the prevention and treatment of disease, as well as in the attainment of optimum health. It assesses your well-being and provides pathways that you can follow to ensure that you remain physically, psychologically and emotionally fit.
Practitioners match observations using iris charts. The eye is divide up into zones that to correspond to specific parts of the body.The iris is the portion of the eye showing color. It reveals body constitution, inherent strengths and weaknesses, health levels, and transitions that take place in a person's body according to ones lifestyle.
Iridology is potentially an integral part of preventive health care. It has the ability to forewarn of approaching difficulties or signs of "dis-ease". Iridology can be a powerful tool, allowing one to determine what is transpiring inside the body from a simple, painless, and economical external vantage point. In effect, Iridology will reveal how well your body functions and reflects areas and stages of inflammation throughout the body.
Improper nutrition and lack of exercise undermines the body's integrity until eventually it becomes unable to reverse damaging toxic conditions through its own natural self-healing mechanisms, becoming susceptible to ailments of a chronic nature. Therefore, nutrition and Iridology are inseparable in one's pursuit of a healthy way of life and holistic health care program. Iridology helps us understand our weakness so we may become aware of dis-ease and take preventive action to avoid disease. We can cleanse, balance, strengthen and repair our bodies to obtain our maximum our health potential. It brings to us an awareness of how to prevent illness, by observation thus allowing us to maintain and improve our health body, mind and spiritual health.
Iridology, or the study of disease using the color of the iris and certain color and thickness of lines across the eyeball originated in Europe, when a physician from Hungary and a Swedish pastor both noticed iris markings in connection with disease. The physician-Ignatz von Peczely accidentally injured an owl as a child, breaking its leg. While nursing the owl back to health, the young von Peczely noticed that the thick black mark that appeared in the owl’s eye after the injury began to lessen as the owl healed. He never forgot it, and as an adult practicing his profession, he recoded that patients with bone fractures experienced the same black mark across the iris.
In 1950, a chiropractor from America named Bernard Jensen began teaching students about the necessity of using natural foods to detoxify the body. He developed a method by which the color of the iris was used to indicate the presence of different toxins. American Iridology was born.
The Swedish pastor-Nils Liljequist-was exposed to malaria as a young man and while receiving the treatment of quinine and iodine noticed that his blue eyes began to grow darker as the drugs built up in his system. He grew up to study homeopathic medicine and recorded similar reactions in clients who came to him for detoxification purposes.
It has been said that the eyes are the mirrors to the soul. The famous Greek physician Hippocrates believed that they were also the mirrors to the body-specifically for the purpose of determining various ailments. He too recorded the presence of black marks across the iris of fractured bones in his patients, and a change in the color of the eye of patients coming down with diseases.
The complex iris is composed of hundreds of thousands of nerve endings which are connected by impulses to every tissue of the body through the brain and nervous system. The nerve fibers, or trabecula, respond specifically to tissue and organ conditions with a corresponding physiological reflex manifested in the iris as lesions and color variations. The iris chart, which is the result of many years of clinical observation and intensive research by Dr. Bernard Jensen and others, represents the basic placement of body organs and tissues similar to a map. An accurate iris analysis is possible by superimposing the chart over an iris image projection, allowing detailed observation of the valuable and reliable data recorded there.
Iridology is not used to directly diagnose specific diseases. It is a self-care approach to identify health problems. Iridology can help one identify the source of a problem and what needs to be done, with regard to stress, diet and lifestyle. Iridology can help identify possible organ and system weaknesses, which can attribute to conditions such as:
- Stress
- Skin Issues
- Digestive Problems
- Fatigue
- Moods changes, Anxiety and Depression
- Hormonal issues – PMS, Menopause and Fertility Issues
- Inflammation, Arthritis and Joint pain
Practitioners of Iridology use the charts to help patients as a preventative measure understand basic health problems in order to refer them to specialists if needed. The belief is that if a disease is detected in the very early stages, it can be prevented from spreading further. The colored part of the eye-the iris-is studied for markings and color changes by isolating the iris and taking pictures of it with a very strong lens. The process takes about an hour and is painless. The photos are then blown up and gone over with a magnifying glass by the Iridologist and used to determine and identify potential ailments.
Many ailments may be hereditary, and the patients predisposition to toxicity and disease can be determined early not only by the photos, but with an extensive interview of family medical history. This holistic concept is well accepted by other disciplines of alternative medicine, as it is a fact that all parts of the body are related, especially when used to warn the body of an impending degenerative disease. Under this theory, the body to indicate an upcoming health problem, and to warn the body to seek preventative measures uses the color changes in the eyes at the very onset of the degenerative disease. The concept is not far fetched at all; consider the example of chiropractors using the process of correcting the spinal alignment to help internal organs. Even conventional physicians check the eyes for signs of sickness. (Blood vessel size is an indication of the level of cholesterol.)
When seeking an iridologist, find one who has been certified by the Institute for Applied Iridology or by the International Iridology Research Association in Solana Beach, CA.
Western Medical doctors usually can't tell you the score until the game's over--until you actually have a disease that has a name and label. Iridology lets you walk in at the first inning--and that's why it will probably play a staffing role in preventative medicine at the bioelectric level: Quantum medicine which is well on its way to becoming the medicine of the future.
Thank you for you insight and contribution on Iridology
