The Eye: The Blueprint to a Healthy Body The Eye

According to Iridology the iris of the eye is like a blueprint to the entire body. Iridologists believe that the eye is an intricate blueprint to a person’s inherent strengths and weaknesses. For those readers who are not aware of what Iridology is–it happens to be an alternative medical technique which utilizes the patterns, colors, and other characteristics of the iris to determine information about a patient’s systemic health. Essentially, Iridologists believe that they can match their observations of the eye to an eye chart, which divides the iris into zones. These zones correspond to specific parts of the human body. Iridologists believe that they can utilize these charts to distinguish between healthy systems and organs in the body and those that may potentially be overactive, inflamed, or distressed.

Iridology has a very long history, in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, writings and works on Iris markings and their meanings were recorded, mainly by medical practitioners. One of the most renowned and earliest practitioners of Iridology was Dr. Ignatz von Peczely.

According to the YouTube video, Dr. Ignatz von Peczely, a Hungarian Doctor and surgeon from the Vienna Medical College would study irises of patients before and after surgical proceedings and record his finding. In 1818 Dr. Ignatz van Peczely published his research and eye chart in the book ‘Discoveries in the Realms of Nature and Art of Healing’.

Iridology has come a long way since the 18th century, with large strides under the research of people such as Dr. Bernard Jensen. Dr. Jensen travelled all over the United States and 65 other countries observing peoples health choices, nutritional choices, and cultures. He was interested in Longevity. What he ascertained through all of his travels was that 80% of what Iridologists see in the irises tells them about their patients’ genetics. From the start of his practice Dr. Jensen has serviced more than 350,000 patients in his tenure. This includes Actors, Artists, and other famous people. Dr. Bernard Jensen’s protégé Ellen Tart-Jensen, Ph.D., D. Sc. CCIIhas successfully used Iridology on Grammy award winning singer songwriter Jewel.

In the video Jewel was very honest about the fact that she was skeptical at first about Iridology. She thought it sounded like “palm reading”, but then became a major supporter when Iridologist Dr. Ellen Tart-Jensen, from looking at her eyes was able to ascertain a kidney issue that all standard medical doctors wrote off as nothing being wrong. When in actuality Jewel had been suffering from chronic infections in her kidneys. But with working with Ellen Tart Jensen and taking her recommendations on a new nutritional plan, Jewel has been healthier ever since.

We, at Infinite Iris, are proud to be promoting Ellen Tart Jensen’s newest e-textbook Techniques in Iris Analysis. The e-textbook will be available at myinfiniteiris.com in early, January, however printed hardcovers are available today at bernardjensen.com.

Iridilogy real or fake

Ci sono molte pseudoscienze mediche che persistono nonostante la totale mancanza di plausibilità o di prove di efficacia. Alcune pratiche sono emerse dalla loro cultura di origine, o dalle idee prevalenti di un’era prescientifica, mentre altre sono state create dall’immaginazione di singoli professionisti forse ben intenzionati ma altamente fuorviati. Erano semplicemente inventate – l’omeopatia, per esempio, o la teoria della sublussazione.

A quest'ultima categoria appartiene l'iridologia, un sistema diagnostico inventato interamente da Ignatz Peczely, un medico ungherese che pubblicò per primo le sue idee nel 1893. La storia racconta che Peczely da ragazzo trovò un gufo con una gamba rotta. In quel momento notò una striscia nera prominente nell'iride di un occhio del gufo. Ha curato l'uccello riportandolo in salute e poi ha notato che la linea nera era scomparsa, sostituita da linee bianche irregolari. Da questa singola osservazione Peczely sviluppò la nozione di iridologia.

L’idea di Peczely era che l’iride si associa in qualche modo al resto del corpo, e quindi le macchie di colore nell’iride riflettono lo stato di salute delle varie parti del corpo. Questo approccio di base alla diagnosi o al trattamento è chiamato approccio dell’omuncolo – l’idea che una parte del corpo si associa al resto del corpo, compresi i sistemi di organi. La riflessologia, l'agopuntura auricolare e persino la chiropratica diretta seguono questo approccio.

Questo è ciò che sarebbe potuto succedere in seguito: dopo aver pubblicato le sue osservazioni iniziali, Peczely iniziò a testare le sue idee con osservazioni ben progettate in grado di dimostrare che la sua ipotesi era sbagliata. Ha costruito con cura un insieme di fatti descrittivi, ma ben consolidati, sulla relazione tra l'iride e la salute. Successivamente, gli anatomisti scoprirono il meccanismo alla base di questa connessione: un vasto sistema di interconnessione tra l’iride e il resto del corpo. Ulteriori ricerche si basarono sulla connessione dell'iride e in seguito gli scienziati medici trovarono sempre più modi per sfruttare questo affascinante aspetto dell'anatomia e della fisiologia.

Naturalmente, questo non è quello che è successo. Peczely non ha svolto alcuna ricerca scientifica seria. Piuttosto, ha semplicemente inventato una pseudoscienza, disegnando mappe dell’iride che erano tanto un prodotto della sua immaginazione quanto dell’osservazione, ed erano in gran parte il risultato di un pregiudizio di conferma. Non ha condotto studi in cieco, né ha prodotto il tipo di prova che potrebbe separare un fenomeno reale da uno immaginario. L'iridologia, come divenne nota la sua pratica, è la radiografia della diagnosi medica. Inoltre, nessuna scienza successiva ha supportato la plausibilità o la realtà dell’iridologia. Non esiste alcuna anatomia o fisiologia sottostante che possa spiegare come l’iride rifletta lo stato di funzionamento di qualsiasi altra parte del corpo.

This, unfortunately, has not stopped iridology from surviving on the medical fringe for more than a century. The modern popularity of iridology, especially in the US, can be traced back to a chiropractor named Bernard Jensen. He published the book, The Science and Practice of Iridology in 1952. Iridology, or iris diagnosis, continues to be practiced by so-called alternative practitioners, including some chiropractors and naturopaths. It has never been recognized as a legitimate medical practice. For example, for $150 naturopath Frank Navratil will diagnose you from a digital image of your eyes.

Spesso la diagnosi di IRIS (che può anche essere eseguita dall'analisi del software) porta a raccomandazioni per l'integrazione, che sono convenientemente vendute dall'iridologo. Ecco una descrizione di come l'iridologia viene utilizzata da un sostenitore:

L'iride rivela le mutevoli condizioni di ogni parte e organo del corpo. Ogni organo e parte del corpo è rappresentato nell'iride in un'area ben definita. Inoltre, attraverso vari segni, segni e scolorimento nell'iride, la natura rivela debolezze e punti di forza ereditari.

By means of this art/science, an iridologist (one who studies the coloration and fiber structure of the eye) can tell an individual his/her inherited and acquired tendencies towards health and disease, his current condition in general, and the state of every organ in particular.

L'iridologia non può rilevare una malattia specifica, ma può dire a un individuo se ha attività sopra o sotto in aree specifiche del corpo. Ad esempio, un pancreas sottoattivo potrebbe indicare una condizione diabetica.

Altri siti avvertono che l'iridologia non può diagnosticare una gravidanza, perché è una condizione naturale del corpo, e inoltre non può diagnosticare un intervento chirurgico precedente, poiché tutto ciò che accade sotto anestesia bloccherà i segnali che altrimenti cambierebbero l'iride. In altre parole, l’iridologia fornisce informazioni solo sulla predisposizione alle malattie, ma non può effettivamente diagnosticare una malattia o qualsiasi altra condizione verificabile. Questo ragionamento è chiamato supplica speciale: l’invenzione di una razionalizzazione speciale per ogni fatto che potrebbe altrimenti falsificare un’affermazione o una convinzione. L'iridologia, a quanto pare, può discernere solo quelle cose che non possono essere verificate o falsificate.

Ciò che si ottiene è una lettura medica a freddo, simile a ciò che fa un mentalista per creare l’illusione della lettura del pensiero o dei poteri psichici. Mentre "legge" l'iride l'iridologo può chiedere informazioni su alcuni problemi di salute. Se sono presenti, viene utilizzato per convalidare l'iridologia. Se assente, il soggetto ha semplicemente una predisposizione al problema mancante.

L'iridologia non ha alcuna plausibilità e la sua storia è quella di una pseudoscienza, non di una pratica legittima. Ma ascoltiamo ancora le migliori prove scientifiche per determinare se l'iridologia è reale o meno. Forse Peczely ha avuto fortuna e ha fatto un'osservazione corretta nonostante la mancanza di conferme scientifiche. Se gli iridologi potessero dimostrare che le loro letture forniscono informazioni reali, allora dovremmo prendere sul serio le loro affermazioni.

In 2000 Edzard Ernst (not surprisingly) published a systematic review of iridology research. He concluded:

In conclusion, few controlled studies with masked evaluation of diagnostic validity have been published. None have found any benefit from iridology. As iridology has the potential for causing personal and economic harm, patients and therapists should be discouraged from using it.

As with N-rays, when blinding is introduced iridology is exposed as a complete fiction. Under controlled conditions iridologists cannot agree with each other as to diagnosis, and cannot distinguish healthy subjects of very ill subjects. Since the Ernst review I found one other well-controlled study of iridology, this one in cancer diagnosis. From the abstract:

SUBJECTS:
One hundred ten (110) subjects were enrolled in the study: 68 subjects had histologically proven cancers of the breast, ovary, uterus, prostate, or colorectum, and 42 were control subjects.
METHODS:
All subjects were examined by an experienced practitioner of iridology, who was unaware of their gender or medical details. He was allowed to suggest up to five diagnoses for each subject and his results were then compared with each subject’s medical diagnosis to determine the accuracy of iridology in detecting malignancy.
RESULTS:
Iridology identified the correct diagnosis in only 3 cases (sensitivity, 0.04).
CONCLUSION:
Iridology was of no value in diagnosing the cancers investigated in this study

There are no well designed studies that are positive.
Conclusion: Iridology is bunk

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. 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.

Anyone using or promoting iridology is, therefore, a pseudoscientific practitioner. Any profession that endorses iridology is not science-based and should be looked upon with suspicion.

The difficulty with proving iridology as a science is that there are no studies being accomplished in North America, yet, there are several studies from other countries that show great reliability of iridology as valid diagnostic tool.

For example, three recent studies showing good success in detecting diabetes:

Storia dell'iridologia

Storia dell'iridologia

Examining a person’s eyes to help determine their health is an ancient practice dating back at least as far as the ancient Greeks.

The first explicit description of iridological principles such as homo-laterality (without using the word iridology) are found in Chiromatica Medica, a famous work published in 1665 and reprinted in 1670 and 1691 by Philippus Meyeus (Philip Meyen von Coburg).The first use of the word Augendiagnostik (“eye diagnosis,” loosely translated as iridology) began with Ignatz von Peczely, a 19th-century Hungarian physician. The most common story is that he got the idea for this diagnostic tool after seeing similar streaks in the eyes of a man he was treating for a broken leg and the eyes of an owl whose leg von Peczely had broken many years before. At the First International Iridological Congress of Iridology, Ignaz von Peczely’s nephew, Dr August von Peczely, dismissed this myth as an apocryphal, and maintained that such claims were irreproducible.German contribution in the Naturheilkunde field is due to a minister Pastor Felke, who developed a form of homeopathy for treating specific illnesses and described new iris signs in the early 1900s.

However, Pastor Felke was subject to long and bitter litigation. The Pastor Felke Institute in Heimshiem, Germany was established as a leading center of iridologic research and training.Iridology became popular in the United States in the 1950s, when Bernard Jensen, an American chiropractor, began giving classes in his own method. This is in direct relationship with P. Johannes Thiel, Eduard Lahn (becoming an American under the name of Edward Lane) and J Haskell Kritzer. Jensen insisted on the body’s exposure to toxins, and the use of natural foods as detoxifiers.Few medical researchers managed to secure funding to study the possible non-visual functions of the eye. In a paper published in Medical Hypotheses, one such group tried to explain the observed patterns of iris transparency that distribute light into the ora serrata (the edge of the optic retina) by postulating a so-called functio ocularis systemica. Based on this hypothesis, the researchers have developed the experimental trans-iridal light therapy method; however, no independent confirmation of the theory and method exists to date. Other results from the mentioned research include early attempts at computerized iris imaging for the purpose of iridologic diagnosis.
