The blue/brown mix eye has been linked by Iridologists with a disposition to biliary or hepatic (liver) troubles. It is believed that the colorations on top of the blue eye are a sign of toxicity in the body due to digestive problems. When the pigmentation is concentrated around the centre of the eye, this is especially linked with digestive disturbances. Problems with the liver and other digestive organs can lead to further imbalances in the glandular and circulatory systems. Body systems and organs to pay particular attention to are as follows: The digestive system (stomach, pancreas, gall bladder and especially the liver) and the intestinal tract.
Common health problems Iridologists associate with this type are: Hypoglycemia, PMS, indigestion, gallstones, constipation, gas, toxicity of the digestive tract, anger and/or depression, difficulty getting to sleep followed by difficulty waking up in the morning, nausea, stiffness and achiness, headaches (especially migraines), food allergies, seasonal allergies and Candida.
Phew! That’s pretty reassuring, for a start. Then the ‘but’ hits me.
“But your liver is slightly weaker than most people. See this small yellowish patch here? It’s a sign of sluggish liver function. It’s not severe. To avoid overburdening your liver, reduce your toxic load by avoiding things like alcohol.”
These words sent a tingle down my spine. Because I am allergic to alcohol. Half a can of beer would cause rashes, turning me into the colour of chilli crab, and it usually takes about two weeks for the rashes to subside. Prior to this, I knew that my liver is not efficient at processing alcohol. But Tiffany didn’t. And yet she found that out at a glance, all within 20 minutes without any extensive tests or fancy machines that resemble oversized washing machines.
Arcus sclerosis/Sodium ring/ Cholesterol ring
This sign is a result of a chemical imbalance in the body, pertaining to non-organic sodium excess, calcium out of solution, as well as high cholesterol and high triglycerides in the blood. Cholesterol Ring is also a non-specific liver marking. It may transpire when hepatopathies (liver disease), diabetes mellitus or hypo-activity of the thyroid are present.
When there is a problem with the inorganic sodium and excessive fats in the body, there may be hardening of the arteries, calcium spurs and deposits, joint problems and so on. This does not necessarily mean that the blood levels of cholesterol are high but indicates there is an imbalance of fat metabolism. The cholesterol ring is a white, opaque ring that appears around the outer edge of the iris either partially or wholly.
Here is a patient I saw in Perth who had a major trauma to her liver
Liver was severed in half
Common bile duct was narrowed
Hepatic vein and artery severed
Gallstones. Cholesterol seen as brown spots on eyelid rim.
Severe scar tissue at 7 o’clock around the gallbladder area
Scar tissue gallbladder and the liver areas 7 to 8 o’clock
Parting of the fibres at 8:30 shows trauma to the upper liver
Iridology is the study of iris structure as a reflection of the organ condition and system in the human’s body. In this study, the organ which is detected is liver. To determine the condition of the liver through iris, texture analysis and classification process are needed to distinguish iris of eye that contains the condition of normal and abnormal liver. The purpose of this study is to detect the condition of the liver through iris using back-propagation neural network with the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) for feature extraction. Application to detect liver conditions was made using Matlab version 8.1.0.604 (R2013a). Inputs for this study which is used is the eye image with both normal and abnormal conditions of the liver, based on Bernard Jensen’s iridology chart. The image is then carried out with iris localization process, ROI-making organ of the liver, and GLCM feature extraction. Results of feature extraction is used as input data (training data and test data) for the back-propagation neural network method, then used to diagnose liver organ conditions. On the obtained test results, a number of hidden layer units showed a growing number of units in the hidden layer that makes Mean Square Error (MSE) value will decrease. It makes network performance is getting better. Based on the test results, 35 test data with four variations of the number of units in the hidden layer, namely, the variation of the number of hidden layer units [ 40 ( layer 1 ), 20 ( layer 2 ) ], [ 50 ( layer 1 ), 20 ( layer 2 ) ], [ 70 ( layer 1 ), 30 ( layer 2 ) ], and [ 80 ( layer 1 ), 30 ( layer 2 ) ]. Sequentially, the data show the success rate percentage of 77.14 %, 80 %, 88.57 %, and 91.42 % . Thus in this test, the best success percentage is 91.42 % .
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) sees the condition of the eyes reflecting the liver’s health. In ancient TCM, doctors used to only get paid if their patients were healthy, so being able to anticipate illness before it hit was imperative. Having ways of seeing into a person’s health such as with the eyes was a clever trick they came up with. They believed the eyes could show 3 different types of imbalances: liver blood deficiency, liver heat and internal liver wind. Liver blood deficiency usually presents as dryness in the eye, blurry vision, and floaters. Liver heat usually presents with painful and burning eyes along with intense anger, frustration, and headache. Internal liver wind may cause the eyes to turn upwards and move involuntarily. This may also go hand in hand with severe emotional distress, vertigo, and dizziness. Diet, along with herbs, acupuncture, and Qi Gong can help alleviate symptoms.
The sclera can turn yellow when the body has high levels of bilirubin in it. This can be caused by blood diseases or by liver diseases.See a doctor right away, as jaundice can be a sign of several serious health problems, including liver dysfunction, hepatitis & in rare cases, pancreatic cancer.
