Conclusion for iridology:
Iridology is an excellent example of pseudoscience in medicine, displaying many of the core features. It was invented by one individual based upon a single observation and emerging from a culture of quackery and pseudoscience. It follows a pre-scientific notion of biology – the homunculus model. It lacks any basis in anatomy, physiology, or any other basic science. Its practitioners are mostly “alternative” practitioners who use the technique as a cold reading. And the research clearly shows that iridology has absolutely no effect – it does not provide any useful information at all.
Cualquiera que utilice o promueva la iridología es, por tanto, un practicante pseudocientífico. Cualquier profesión que respalde la iridología no tiene base científica y debe considerarse con sospecha.

Los iridólogos afirman que al estudiar los patrones del iris de una persona, pueden proporcionar información útil y precisa sobre salud y bienestar. La iridología es un esfuerzo holístico en el sentido de que aborda todo el ser de la persona en la lectura. La gama de información recopilada abarca aspectos físicos, emocionales, mentales y espirituales del cuadro de salud de la persona. Además de evaluar el nivel general de salud de la persona, las lecturas pueden revelar otros datos, incluidos los cocientes de energía; áreas internas de irritación, degeneración, lesión o inflamación; desequilibrios nutricionales y químicos; acumulación de toxinas; transiciones de vida; y tensiones subconscientes. Los iridólogos sostienen que los ojos revelan información sobre la constitución física y emocional de la persona, como debilidades heredadas y riesgos a los que la persona puede ser propensa. También pueden revelarse fortalezas, incluidas tendencias emocionales heredadas de las que la persona deriva talentos particulares. La limpieza y la curación se pueden verificar mediante cambios en el iris. Al buscar ciertos signos, como líneas de curación, los iridólogos obtienen información sobre problemas de salud y lesiones anteriores y descubren qué pudo haber salido mal en el pasado de la persona.
Una lectura de iridología refleja las causas de los problemas, no los síntomas. Según los iridólogos, puede revelar que los órganos o sistemas están sobrecargados o predispuestos a enfermedades incluso antes de que se desarrollen los síntomas clínicos. Al predecir problemas futuros, la iridología puede utilizarse como herramienta preventiva. Las personas pueden utilizar la información de las lecturas de iridología para mejorar su salud y tomar mejores decisiones de comportamiento en el futuro, evitando así los problemas antes de que ocurran.
In North America, iridology is generally considered to be an assessment tool to be used in cooperation with other health specialties. Iridology is not a diagnostic tool (although it is more likely to be considered so by European iridologists) and should not be used to diagnose or name specific diseases. Not only would diagnosis represent an improper application of iridology according to many iridologists, as noted by the International Iridology Research Association (IIRA), it could also be construed in many countries as practicing medicine without a license.

CONTRACTION FURROWS
SCLERA SIGNS
SYNDROMES
Power Point CD, 59 Frames
By Ellen Tart-Jensen, Ph.D., D.Sc., CCII
This colorful power point show has very clear and detailed iris signs, showing various types of contraction furrows (formerly called stress rings). The area the furrows are located, whether they intersect or break. Where they intersect or break can tell the iridologist a great deal about the nervous system and health of that person. This CD also shows various signs that show up in a person’s sclera that may indicate trauma to a part of the body, tendency for poor vessel strength, excess sugar in the body and many other things. Syndrome patterns that can occur within the iris including Cardio Abdominal, Cardio Renal and Pancreatic are shown. This CD has wonderful written explanations, and arrows pointing to the signs are being taught. Excellent for a student learning iridology or for an iridology instructor to use in the classroom.

Historia de la iridología
Historia de la iridología
Iridology research began in 1670 when Dr. Philippus Meyens published a paper describing the eyes of his patients when they became sick or injured. He also noticed changes in the eye that came with healing and was able to link points on the iris to specific parts of the body. By observing the eye, he was eventually able to identify areas in the body in need of support which would show up in the eye long before physical symptoms would manifest.
While eyes have been a focus in civilizations throughout the ages, “modern” Iridology got its start just over 100 years ago. In the late 1800’s, a physician from Hungary and another from Sweden began observing eyes and organizing their findings. This process of observation and correlating has been slow, but it established a foundation for others to build on. The first book on Iridology in America, by an emigrated Austrian physician, was printed in 1904. This was followed by the works of N.D.s and other naturopathic oriented M.D.s.
Working with limited magnification and photography equipment, progress was difficult. Then with the emergence of the AMA and other political and economic influences and the advent of “miracle” drugs, almost all natural medicine practices declined in this country. Dr. Bernard Jensen is credited with keeping Iridology alive in North America.
In Europe, a different political and economic climate created an environment that has allowed Iridology (and other natural medicine practices) to evolve. Extensive research has been carried out in Europe and iridology is now widely accepted as a valuable preventative health care approach. Currently in the U.S. more people are showing interest in iridology as an alternative method for improving health. Now you can experience the benefits of this remarkable assessment tool/technique.
