Nature has provided us with an invaluable
insight into the vital status of the health of any individual through the
sciences of Iridology and Sclerology. Through analyzing the eyes it enables
us to ascertain the person's predisposition to health and disease, the
general constitution, the state of each individual organ, levels of toxic
accumulations, 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 this truly the windows to
the Soul, Mind, and Body.
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 by way
of the brain and nervous system. It is in direct contact with the
bio-energetic, biochemical, structural, hormonal, and metabolic processes of
the body via the nerves, blood vessels, muscle fibers, and lymph.
Holistically, it is used to accurately assess the physical, mental,
emotional, and spiritual patterns and weaknesses for a complete health
analysis. It is completely painless, non-invasive, and economic while
providing valuable information for restorative and preventive health care.
Sclerology is the study of the whites of the
eyes, interpreting the red lines, colorations, and markings in the sclera as
they relate to the whole persons health. This science is not new, but
several thousand years old. The Chinese view of the sclera was based on the
twelve meridians and the yin and yang aspect of each meridian. The Chinese
saw the lines in the sclera as a reflection of the lymphatic fluid which
bathes every cell in relation to the principles of acupuncture in that
imbalances in the meridian energy register in the sclera. Native American
Indians also analyzed the eyes to get a better understanding of the stresses
affecting a person's health.
Iridology has progressed tremendously since
the mid 1800's. Numerous doctors and scientists have researched Iridology
on humans over the past 125 years and it has become a respected practice,
used by many doctors and naturopaths worldwide. Dr. Bernard Jensen,
renowned Iridologist and Nutritionist, pioneered the science of Iridology in
the U.S. Dr. David Pesek has continued and expanded upon his work and
developed one of the most comprehensive iris charts used today, integrating
the thought and emotional patterns and the 'brain flare' areas with the
physical health.
Iridology is becoming an integral part of
the preventive health care system. The iris will alert us to the early
signs of approaching "dis-ease". As the evaluations are made, and the
stress conditions understood, proper corrective measures can be applied.
The body can then more easily adjust and alleviate the abnormal stress
resulting in a greater degree of health enabling a person to avert any
threatening disease. It is an invaluable asset in the form of remedial
therapies.
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 "generalist"
about the CAUSE of body stresses. People trained in interpreting the
symbols portrayed in the eye have the advantage of occupying "command
central" rather than a peripheral "computer" monitor such as blood, hair,
tongue, or urine analysis which does not have full access to all the body's
information (though each of these diagnostics 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.
So knowing the various stressors on the body
can be essential in preventive health care. These stressors may be simple,
moderate, or severe and can represent conditions such as nutritional
deficiencies, poor circulation, congestion, fatigue, pH imbalance,
infections (bacterial, viral, parasitic), nerve stress, toxic accumulations
and abnormal cellular activity. Patterns may register an abnormal stress
development long before any serious effects are experienced. With the
stress conditions understood, proper corrective measures can be applied by
addressing the causative factors with natural therapies (nutrition,
herbology, enzyme therapy, homeopathy, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage,
counseling, etc.) leading to a greater degree of health.
Iridology and Sclerology, combined with
sound nutritional and naturopathic knowledge and wise application, provides
people with the ability to consciously support their health and longevity,
overcome and alleviate stress, and live a more healthful life. I prefer
working as part of a health care team and encourage my clients to discuss
their health analysis and preventive health care program with their doctors
or other health care providers. Some doctors understand the value in such
an analysis and will refer clients to have an Iridology Report so they may
proceed with proper care, or order the correct tests, often reducing the
discomfort, costs, and time involved for the patient.
Costs can range from $30. for a half hour
'live' reading using a magnifying lens and a light to the side, to $125.
for a complete analysis of 144 points in the body with a 32 page report
using photos from the latest technology of a digital iris camera with
microscope attached. Photos can also be taken in the future for comparisons
to determine levels of improvement or worsening of conditions.
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!
