The Science of IRIDOLOGY
It may be THE MOST FAR-REACHING EVOLUTION OF THEM ALL: the
metamorphosis of passive patient into consumer, and well informed,
assertive consumer at that. Nearly a million Americans take to
Internet each month to dig for diagnoses, support news and information.
IRIDOLOGY can be a helpful aid to the consumer as well as provide
preventive health aspects for the doctor.
Many of my customers have asked me details about the service
provided when I check out their eyes with my magnifying glass and flash
light. Is this something new? How can you tell so much in just a few
minutes? How does it work? For those who have asked and for those who
may be interested in the service, the following is for you.
IRIDOLOGY is not new. The oldest records uncovered thus far have shown that a form of iris interpretation was used in ancient China as far back as 1,000 B.C., nearly 3,000 years ago. In the Bible, St.Luke writes, "The lamp of your body is the eye. When your eyes are sound, you have light for the whole body, but when your eyes are bad, you are in darkness."
The eye has been proclaimed through the ages as "the mirror of the soul," and now we acknowledge it as the window to the body--enabling us to visualize normal and abnormal states within the body and its organs. How does the iris represent all this? Contained within the iris are thousands of nerve filaments. They receive messages from virtually every nerve in the human body via connections with the optic nerves, optic thalami, and spinal cord. Also, microscopic muscle fibers and tiny blood vessels are within the eye. In cooperation the nerve filaments, muscle fibers and blood vessels duplicate tissue changes simultaneously with associated organs of the body. Thus, by examining the markings, discolorations, textures and other iris manifestations, the practitioner is able to analyze the health level of all body constituents.
The Iridologist can warn a person of impending ill health with the help of IRIDOLOGY. It is potentially an integral part of preventive medicine and a great service for interested individuals and doctors who are interested in preventive health. However, IRIDOLOGY is an adjunctive analysis - not to be used alone. It may be utilized in conjunction with any other system of analysis or diagnosis available.
EYES: MIRROR OF SOUL AND BODY IRIDOLOGY reveals the levels of health and the presence of tissue imbalance in the body, where it is located and what stage it is in, i.e. healthy, acute, subacute, chronic or degenerative. The irises indicates the level of constitutional strength, inherent weaknesses and the transitions that take place in a person's health according to the way he or she eats, drinks, feels, thinks and lives.
In addition, the eyes indicate more than just physical health, and conditions. They also can reveal emotional factors (feelings) and mental patterns (thoughts). We are more than physical beings. We have our thoughts, feelings and our spiritual essence as well. All of this is reflected out through our eyes. Interpreting these aspects is a very sophistical level of the practice of iridology and is on the leading edge of advancement of this ancient science.
Each eye gives different information. The left iris correlates with the organs, glands, tissues and other structures in the left side of the body. The left side also represents the feminine, creative, conceptual and intuitive aspects of our personality. The right iris correlates with all of the anatomical structures in the right side of the body. The right side also represents the masculine, practical, analytical, and logical aspects.
Note the difference between the two iris photos that are examples of constitution. The iris photo on the left is representative of a strong genetic constitution. The fibers of the iris are close together in a radial form creating an even texture without separations. Also, the iris is free of other pigments or discolorations. However, some pigments and discolorations may develop over time with poor health habits from birth and throughout a person's life.
TELLTALE SIGNS If your irises look similar to this, then a good resistance to illness and disease is present. There is more stamina on all levels (physical, emotional, mental). You tend to have a strong will. Some might say, "a mind of your own". A person with a strong constitution often pushes him or herself beyond healthy limits. They do not pay as close attention to the subtle warning signs their body, emotions or mind give them to slow down, rest or express their feelings and thoughts. These persons are more likely to become compulsive and over achieve.
Nutritionally, the person with a strong constitution will succeed with a basic, well-balanced program of vitamins, minerals and herbs as a supplement to a healthful diet. The tissues of the body retain the nutrients well. During periods of stress, the nutrient levels should be increased.
Again, look at the difference between the two iris photos. The photo on the right is representative of a weak genetic constitution. The fibers in this iris are not close together in a radial form. Note the uneven texture and separations in the fibers. It looks like holes in the iris. These are called lacunae. Also, you will note the somewhat discolored appearance. This is indicative of toxic settlements in the body's tissues.
If your irises resemble this structure, then there is a weaker genetic heredity involved. There is a lowered resistance to illness and disease. A person with this type of constitution is more prone to fatigue and poor stamina on all levels. You may tend to have a short attention span, be scattered and hyperactive to some degree. These people do better in a quiet atmosphere as over stimulating environments are not good for them.. Gentle nurturing is the best, with an emphasis on building self-esteem and confidence. Always look at yourself as perfect just the way you are.
Many people are concerned about their cholesterol levels and the potential for plaque buildup in the blood vessels. This condition is known as hardening of the arteries or atherosclerosis. The intake of animal fats and various forms of sugar alone are not the only cause of this problem. Thought and emotional factors also play a key role in the incidence of atherosclerosis. Note the photo with the arrow pointing to the whitish/opaque border surrounding the iris. This indicates a build-up of plaque within the blood vessels. This whitish/opaque ring also reveals the excess of inorganic salts,(i.e. sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, etc.) within the tissues of the body.
Physical, emotional and mental stress will increase the accumulation of plaque and inorganic minerals. Thoughts always precede feelings. The whitish/opaque deposit in the iris represents a 'wall' of protection or resentment on a psychological level.
The eyes are wonderful windows, providing a vista to our well-being that is unparalleled by any other form of analysis or assessment. It is truly non-invasive and economical as well. Iridology can reveal potential health difficulties 20 years or more in advance of their appearance, as well as current conditions. With this knowledge, and a deeper look into your eyes, you can effectively guide yourself on the path way to optimal wellness.
Thought For The Day... From the perception of the five-sensory human, the physical world is an unaccountable given in which we unaccountable find ourselves, and we strive to dominate it so that we can survive. From the perception of the multisensory human, the physical world is a learning environment that is created jointly by the souls that share it, and everything that occurs with it serves their learning.
