What is iridology therapy?

Some scientists postulated that emotions originated in the body, but soon discovered that emotions are both cognitive and visceral and originate simultaneously in brain and body. Science has shown that both the gut and the physical brain receive all the same neurotransmitters, neuropeptides and their receptors. The neuropeptides in the brain not only contain their receptors in the corresponding organs, but high concentrations of almost every neuropeptide receptor exists in other anatomical locations called “nodal points”such as the back side of the spinal cord, which is the first synapse within the nervous system where all somatosensory information is processed, and is most dense in the limbic system. The limbic system is comprised of several brain structures associated with memory and emotion and was first observed by neurosurgeon Wilder Penfield (1891-1976). The limbic system is located in the inner part of the brain. The information is carried by axons and dendrites from many nerve cell bodies that are passing or making synaptic contact with each other. The science of Iridology is a good example that demonstrates the evidence of this mind-body communication network via the connection of the autonomic nervous system and the exposed nerve endings of the iris.

Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine first described it, and it was rediscovered in 1860 by Ignacz von Peczely, a Hungarian Doctor who devoted his life to its study. Peczely became a great physician of his time. He published several books on Iridology and gained much notoriety, but was limited in his observations of the iris, because of the optical equipment available to him. Now we have sophisticated cameras and microscopes with powerful magnifying capabilities. This helps enormously when identifying individual nerve fibers and tiny iris markings.

As written by the Guild of Naturopathic Iridologists International; a trained Iridologist sees the exposed nerve endings as a ‘map’, revealing information about:

the body’s genetic strengths and weaknesses
levels of inflammation and toxemia
the efficiency of the eliminative systems and organs

In the hands of those who are well versed in the pathology of the pathways of disease, as well as anatomy and physiology, this provides a veritable microchip of information. Iridology can help you understand what ‘optimum health’ means for an individual person. The iris displays a unique insight into our health potential and disease dispositions. Iris patterns and pigmentation reveal the history of our inherited health. Iridology or iris diagnosis as it is often called is a method used in alternative medicine to analyze the health status of one by studying specific colors, patterns, locations, markings and signs in the iris of the eye.  In one eye it is called iris; in both eyes it is termed iride (I-rid).

Why iridology therapy?

A story unfolds in the eye that depicts a detailed picture of the body at work, in health and dis-ease. The eyes are an extension of the brain. They are the input for the brain. Through changes in the pigments and structure of the iris, abnormal conditions of the tissue in the body are revealed.Iridology is the most effective assessment technique in the world that considers the person as a whole. Humankind must be studied as a whole since the whole is more than the sum of its parts. The most efficient response in raising the health level comes from implementing both nutrition and iris analysis. In addition to nutrition therapy, various natural therapies can be incorporated into each individual’s plan of treatment.Why Iridology Assessment? Management of your health is ultimately up to you. The wisest way to safeguard your health is to know and understand your body thoroughly. When you take care of your body, your reward is wellness. You feel and look younger. You experience more energy and enthusiasm. Iridology assessment provides you with information about your body signals and how you can respond to them. Certain conditions can be spotted before they cause serious problems, allowing you to “nip it in the bud.”If you are suffering from any of the symptoms below, iridology assessment is a highly effective tool to help you determine the cause(s):

Catarrh
Constipation
Migraine
Insomnia
Skin Eruption
Infections
Arthritis
Depression
Low Energy
Discharges
Asthma
Allergies
Colic, Diarrhea
Fevers, Cold, Flu
Chronic Fatigue
Hay Fever

The greatest feature and main advantage of Constitutional Iridology over forms of health screening is that the iris reveals potentials and tendencies that may occur if a person lives their live a certain way. Therefore, symptoms can be treated decades before they ever appear. Preventative action may be taken to improve health and avoid those diseases that might otherwise follow.

Why Consult an iridology therapy?

A Chinese proverb says: ‘A poor doctor cures; a good doctor prevents’.  Even worse is a doctor who only focuses on symptoms; such as much of our health-care system today.  Iridology takes this to heart.  All medicine longs to prevent a disease or disorder from occurring, any type of doctor would agree that it is easier, and more cost effective to nip disease in the bud.

Iridology is ideally suited toward prevention in the true sense.  We all have genetic weaknesses of some type or another, if we were perfect we would be super-beings, not human. The skilled Iridologist pinpoints inherently weakened organs or glands that may not yet be noticeably producing symptoms or even discomfort.  By studying the iris markers the Iridologist can then offer suggestions on how to avoid a disease or dysfunction occurring. By identifying the external stimuli that trigger the weakness to manifest, symptoms of disease may be avoided, or at worst, delayed. This can be clarified by iridology’s simple formula:

Genetic Weakness + External Stimuli = Symptom (GW+ES=S)

By carefully observing dietary intake, lifestyle, habits and environment, the Iridologist can identify irritants to an individual’s health.  Living within the personal limitations of genetic inheritance may be the best way of achieving longevity. Human beings are immensely diverse and adaptable to their environment. If we recognize and identify any weaknesses that we may have, we are better able to avoid an external stimulus that would cause disease by preventing it from progressing.

For example, a person may smoke twenty cigarettes a day and live to a ripe old age – providing he does not have a genetic weakness that involves smoking, however this condition will worsen with each generation if not corrected. Conversely, a person may never smoke, yet develop lung cancer if he has a genetic lung marker. (Disclaimer: This is not an encouragement to smoke if you do not possess a genetic lung marker or condition.)
