Eyes have long been referred to as the “Windows of the Soul”What is Iridology? Iridology is the science and practice of analyzing the iris, the most complex tissue structure in the human anatomy. The iris reveals the level of constitutional strength, inherited weaknesses, state of health and the transactions that take place in a person’s organs and tissues according to the way he lives. Accurate analysis of iris structure and pigmentation provides information that is hard to find through other methods. This information is extremely valuable and includes physical, emotional, mental and spiritual findings. Iridology proves a more holistic context for the understanding of disease. Iridology is a safe, painless and non-invasive tool. The benefits are to obtain an understanding of: |
The advantage of Iridology by Dr. Bernard Jensen
“Iridology offers a unique perspective to the
concept and practice of preventive medicine. It is difficult to alert a
person to the health problems their particular body will experience,
using orthodox methods of analysis and diagnosis. These methods rely
upon the appearance of clinical symptoms. The iris, however, can
predict the problems long before disease symptoms are present. With
this information, a health program can be developed which is tailored
to the specific needs of the client, thus preventing the manifestation
of the disease.”
The Health Status Equation by Dr. Bill Caradonna
In order to fully appreciate what the iris reveals, let’s first consider this equation:
Health Status =
Physical Inheritance
+ Environment (Diet, lifestyle, etc.)
+ Emotional/Spiritual Factors
+ Age.“We all inherit
certain combinations of physical traits. We can observe some of these
origins from our family tree, but how much this specifically affects
you? Diet and lifestyle have a great impact on some people, but why are
others able to get away with abusing their bodies? Which mental and
emotional aspects significantly affect our physical health? And as we
get older, we lose our resiliency at different rates. What is our
individual rate?
Iridology takes a lot of the guesswork out of these questions. Going
through life without this information is like taking a trip without a
map. What are your chances of arriving at your desired destination?
Will you get there efficiently, or end up taking many detours along the
way? And how will you know where you are heading next?
Using the road map or blueprint contained in the iris, you can find out
how well you are put together (and how much abuse your body can
handle), where your body will tend to get sick, (including which organ
systems are at greater risk), what specific underlying reasons
contribute to your symptoms (which may vary from person to person with
the same symptoms), and what emotional or behavioral factors are
influencing these patterns. In short, it can show you where you came
from, where you are headed, what kind of body you have for a vehicle,
and what type of driver you are. With this knowledge, you can more
effectively approach health challenges and also identify which
preventive medicine practices would be most important for you to
pursue.”
Anatomy of the eye
The eyes are extensions of the brain. There are 28,000 individual nerve
fibers connect with every cell and the main body of the iris. The eyes
transmit information to the visual cortex of the brain, but in addition
it is connected with the limbic system, the emotional brain. The iris
is connected to the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. Those
control every organ in the body and keep the brain constantly informed
concerning the metabolic status of each one. The iris nerves respond to
chemical changes in the body. There is an adequate scientific basis to
explain how it is possible for iris changes to be reflexly correlated
with tissue changes elsewhere in the body.
The history of Iridology
Iridology may have begun in ancient Egypt and Central Asia over a
thousand years ago. Ancient physicians examined the eyes and sclera of
their patients to determine methods of treatment.
Modern Iridology started in the 1800’s. Dr. Ignatz Von Peczely (1826 -
1911) of Hungary, was the first practitioner and researcher in the
field of Iridology. As a young boy, he caught an owl in his garden. In
the struggle, he accidentally broke the bird’s leg. He observed a black
stripe rising in the owl’s eye. Later he became a physician and never
forgot the incident with the owl. Working in a hospital, he studied
many eyes patients before and after surgery and did autopsies to
confirm the existent of ailments he had diagnosed from the eyes of
people before they died. During the same period in Sweden, a young boy
8 years old, named Nils Liljequist, began studying his own eyes while
being sick and given certain medications. Later he continued his
research and published his findings. If we look at the work of both of
these researchers, we find many similarities in their Iridology maps
although they never knew one another or had any communication.
In late 1800’s Pastor Felke from Sweden became a very famous Iridologist and there is an institute in Germany named after him.
Henry Edward Lane, an Austrian Medical Doctor, brought Iridology to the USA.
During 1900’s there was no communication between Europe and the USA. In
the USA, Dr. Bernard Jensen, known as the father of American Iridology,
kept the candle burning for Iridology. He had been studying and writing
Iridology for 70 years. In Germany, Josef Deck, Theodore Krieger,
Rudolph Schnable and Josef Angerer were able to work with universities,
hospitals, autopsies, and x-rays to verify their iris findings.
In 1982 Harri Wolf and Dr. Bill Caradonna, founded an organization
called NIRA and brought the research information from America and
Europe together. The name has changed to IIPA (International Iridology
Practitioners Association).
Extensive research is taking place since by medical doctors and
naturopaths all around the world. Multidimensional Iridology is being
explored level by level. Dr. Lo Rito from Italy, the pioneer of Time
Risk and E.C. Tech therapy. Time Risk is used to locate traumas in the
iris and when they occur, whether they are emotional or physical. E.C.
Tech is the therapy to release traumas on a cellular level. Dr. Lo Rito
is also the leading authority of the study of the Inner Pupillary
Border (IPB), a tissue that represents the spinal cord plus physical
and emotional information.
