Someone said that the iris is the living image of what the eye h as been, what it is, and even what it can become. Jon Miles said, "The iris is like a chalkboard which does not get erased."

Iridology is the diagnostic method that examines the patterns and changes in the iris of the eye that may suggest a health issue or disease. Iridology, or iris analysis or iris diagnoses, is a method of alternative medicine that is used to analyze a person’s health status by examining the colors, components of the iris, pupil and sclera of the human eye. When people notice an attractive person, the first thing they may notice is the other person’s eyes, often referred to the windows of the soul. When you look into someone’s eye’s you can often tell how the person is feeling, if they are lying, angry, ill or in love. When people are tired or not feeling well, their eyes will lack the usual sparkle or appear dull. Not only are the eyes the windows of the soul, they are also the map to our bodies.

Although some people believe their eye color never changes through out their lives, there are noticeable changes as we grow older or our health changes. These changes can appear as marks or clouds in the iris, the pupils, or sclera of your eyes. Iridologists can assess an individual’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health by iris analysis and be able to guide them and show them what measures need to be taken to improve their health.

Iridology (pronounced eye-ri-dol'-ogy) is the science of studying the iris or the colored portion of the eye. According to Mr. Miles, Iridology is based on empirical observations (made by medical doctors and other researchers over the last 300 years) which suggest that certain dysfunctional states in the body are indicated by different textures and color properties within the iris. It is useful for preventative health because these imbalances in the body can be detected early on, giving time for adjustments to be made using natural therapies.

Assessing health through studying the eyes is thought to date back at least as far as ancient Greece and Hippocrates. In the 19th century, this art was revived by a Hungarian called Ignacz von Peczely. As a boy, he was said to have observed how the iris of an owl changed, first when it suffered a broken leg and then as it got better. He went on to make observations of the human iris, often being able to predict someone’s impending illness. After qualifying as a doctor, he drew up the first chart of the iris as a key to health. Peczely and those who went on to develop his work in the early years of the 20th century were ridiculed by the medical establishment.

In the 1950's Dr. Bernard Jensen published his own set of maps in the United States. These are some of the most widely used maps for Iridology. Until his death in 2001, Dr. Bernard Jensen was one of America's foremost pioneering nutritionists and Iridologists. Beginning his career in 1929 as a chiropractor, he soon turned to the art of nutrition in search of remedies for his own health problems. He later observed firsthand the cultural practices of people in over 55 countries. In his career he examined and analyzed over 350,000 eyes. In 1955 he established the Hidden Valley Health Ranch in Escondido, California, as a retreat and learning center based upon the healing principles of natur.

Doctor Bernard Jensen drew up an extremely detailed iris chart in 1950 relating all of the organs and systems of the body to different parts of the iris. Since then, other similar charts have grown out of clinical experience in Europe and the UK. The area around the pupil is said to signify the stomach, and the area around that represents the intestines.

Dr. Bernard Jensen, put it this way: "Nerve fibers in the iris respond to changes in body tissues by manifesting a reflex physiology that corresponds to specific tissue changes and locations." This means that a bodily condition will translate to a noticeable change in the appearance of the iris.

The Innermost Ring -The stomach
The Second Ring – The small & large intestines
The Third Ring – Relates to the blood & its circulation; the lymph glands
The Fourth Ring – The body’s organs & hormone-producing endocrine system
The Fifth Ring – To the musculo-skeletal system•The Outermost Ring The skin & organs responsible for elimination of toxins

The remainder of the iris is divided up into a jigsaw relating to all the other body parts. Modern iridologists say that the appearance of the iris does not change but that its distinctive pattern gives a unique map of a person’s genetic inheritance. By studying this map, we can identify a our constitutional weakness, for example a tendency towards stomach problems or liver damage. However, they also say that some alterations in the body can show up in slight changes of coloring in the iris. For example, a patch that gets slightly lighter can signify inflammation, and an area that gets slightly darker can mean a build-up of toxins. So the old story about the injured owl’s iris may well have a basis in fact.

Iris Scope

Genetic strengths and weaknesses, levels of inflammation and toxicity, the efficiency of the eliminative organs and the state of the digestive system are easily visible in iridology

•Iridology analysis can help tune the treatment by Natural Medicine and help us understand their inherited strengths and weaknesses, thereby becoming more personally aware of how to support their present and future health. In Russia, a trial involving 800,000 patients found Iridology to be 85% accurate in diagnosis and is taught to medical students in some European universities.

•Iridology is especially useful in assessing the state of the digestive system, being able to distinguish between an under acidic or over acidic stomach and clarify the state of bowel health and tension.

•Iridology can often help establish the root cause of disorders and thus aids the choice of effective treatment without recourse to expensive laboratory tests

Why The Eyes?

The eyes – and the irises – are direct offshoots from the brain. Hundreds of thousands of nerve fibers make up the optic nerve and many of these end in the iris. Some iridologists say it is for this reason that the eyes – as a result of the information they receive from the brain – are like VDUs, giving an accurate representation of the state of the rest of the body. Others compare it to reflexology, in which the foot is said to be sensitive to what is happening through all the ‘zones’ of the body.

What Your Eye Color Tells You

All eyes are categorized as either blue, brown or a mixture of the two.

Lighter eyes are easier for an iridologist to ‘read’. People with blue eyes are said to be more prone to breathing difficulties, while those with brown are more likely to have circulation problems. If your eyes are greenish (a mixture of blue and light brown) then you may be prone to digestive problems.

Iridology Is Good For:

Iridology does often not reveal disease and Iridologists do not diagnose. While the iris can reveal some current conditions and stress affecting body systems, it is most useful for prevention and long-term health.

The iris is the "colored" part of the eye. It surrounds the contractile center, or pupil. Light enters through the pupil and is focused by the lens into an image on the retina. The nerves of the iris are connected to a part of the brain known as the hypothalamus. It should be noted that there is no evidence that any nerve in the iris is connected to any other part of the body (organ, bone, etc.).

The left eye is believed to correspond with the left side of the body and the right eye with the right side of the body. In general, the higher organs (brain, thyroid) are at the top of the iris and the lower organs (kidneys) are at the bottom.

In reading the iris to gain insight to the body there are several characteristics that are studied. These include, but are not limited to layers, colors, rings and spots.

LAYERS

A primary theory of Iridology is that the iris is constructed in layers that represent the four stages of tissue activity.

Acute changes
Sub-acute changes
Chronic changes
Degenerative changes
By visualizing which layer has the defect, one can then decide what the nature of the problem is.

COLORS

There are 3 main physical eye types:

? Blue-Eyed Type (Lymphatic): At increased risk for problems with the upper respiratory tract, digestive tract, urogenital tract, lymphatic tissues, joints, kidneys and adrenal gland imbalances.

? Mixed-Eye Type (Biliary): This type has discolorations (usually light brown) on top of a blue background. They are at increased risk for liver related problems, digestive tract problems and allergies.

? Brown-Eyed Type (Hematogenic): This type is predisposed to blood disorders and imbalances of minerals, especially calcium. This type should pay attention to the circulatory system, liver, spleen, bone marrow, digestive system and endocrine glands.

Colors over certain areas on the iris correspond to the area of the body as indicated by the maps. You can then decide what types of changes are occurring.

White indicates an area of the body working hard to "maintain."
Yellow-white indicates an area of the body losing a battle.
Yellow indicates poor kidney function; yellow sclera (white part of the eye) suggest gallbladder disease.
Orange indicates problems metabolizing carbohydrates and weakness in the liver and/or pancreas. Glucose levels should be checked.
Red-brown indicates deterioration.
Brown indicates poor liver function and "dirty blood."
Black indicates dying tissue.

RINGS

There are numerous rings seen in the iris. Here are a few of the main ones.

Scurf Rim or Ring of Purpose is a dark band around the iris, indicating that the skin is not functioning properly. These people do not sweat easily (lack of detoxification), have increased mucous production and kidney stress. They are "thick-skinned" emotionally.
Stress Rings or Rings of Freedom look like growth rings on a tree. They indicate neuro-muscular tension and stress. These people tend to be perfectionists and are highly active and accomplishment-oriented.
Lipid Ring or Ring of Determination is a heavy white ring partially or completely covering the outer edge of the iris. This ring is mostly found in older people, and it is indicative of arteriosclerosis and other cardiovascular problems. It can also indicate problems with the liver and thyroid, and an increased risk of Parkinson's Disease. These people tend to be stubborn.
Lymphatic Rosary or Ring of Harmony looks like a tiny ring of clouds around the outer iris. These people have lymphatic congestion and swollen lymph nodes. Perhaps the person with this ring is not getting enough exercise for the particular body parts underlying the ring. These people internalize others' problems to make everything appear harmonious, as they dislike conflict and tension in their environment.
Other ring types:

Radii Solaris-radiates out like spokes on a wheel. Where they occur they poison and inhibit cells. This was first noticed in sheep over 2000 years ago when they had parasites and thus is often linked with intestinal problems.

Sodium Ring-this is a cloudy white ring that often occurs over the circulation area. It may indicate aches and pains.
Nerve Rings-The more of these rings a person has, the more nervous the person is. They may need lifestyle changes such as decreasing stress and finding another person to open up to and share with.
SPOTS

Spots may "move" across the iris and are believed to indicate deficiencies or a "blocking" of awareness about a particular organ or system

With the phenomenal technical advances in Iridology equipment and the continuous new research, more insight have been gained into Iridology during the last five years than in the previous twenty.

What are the benefits of Iridology?
Children as well as adults benefit from an Iridology session. It is one of the tools Sherri likes to use as she prepares individualized recommendations for her clients and it partners beautifully with nutrition. Iridology:

Provides a starting point for lifestyle considerations and education
Partners with nutrition
Helps prevent unwanted conditions by showing areas that need support
Reflects your unique body type
Shows changes as the body heals
Your body wants to be in balance, and when you give it what it needs, it will respond and do what it can to regain balance, allowing you to make the most of your life.

Be Aware some people call Iridology a fraud but hasnt that
been said about most Alternative health systems,,,
A Critique on Iridology

We would never recommend that a client rely solely on iridology to predict disease or diagnose an injury. Balance is always are prefered stance

HOW CAN IRIDOLOGY HELP ME?

Iridology is potentially an integral part of preventive health care. It has the ability to forewarn of approaching difficulties or signs of "disease". Iridology can be a powerful tool, allowing one to determine what is transpiring inside the body from a simple, painless, and economical external vantage point. In effect, iridology will reveal how well your body functions. Improper nutrition and lack of exercise undermines the body's integrity until eventually it becomes unable to reverse damaging toxic conditions through its own natural self-healing mechanisms, becoming susceptible to ailments of a chronic nature. Therefore, nutrition and iridology are inseparable in one's pursuit of a healthy way of life and holistic health care program. Iridology helps us understand our weakness so we may strengthen and cleanse our bodies to obtain our maximum health potential. It brings to us an awareness of how to prevent illness, thus allowing us to earn our most precious earthly treasure--vibrant physical, mental and spiritual health!

Iridology can play an important role in preventative medicine at the bioelectric level, which is well on its way to becoming the medicine of the future.

The main aim of iridology is to keep you healthy by recognizing early signs of possible problems and recommending holistic and natural treatments to prevent them from developing into more serious problems.
The greatest benefit of iridology over other forms of health screening is that changes appear in the iris before the physical symptoms develop. Hence a preventative action can be taken early to improve your health and can avoid those diseases which might appear.

Iridology can help to diagnose the disease and potential ill health by studying the iris of your eye. It dose not concerned with named diseases. It can help in restoration and maintenance of health through building up your immunity and life force.

You no longer have to spend Mega Dollars to pay a therapyst now you can now do it in your own home

Conclusion
In summary, while iridology has no scientific basis, and studies have not been able to prove its inherent value, empirically it has demonstrated a host of benefits. Not only is it a quick, painless and relatively cheap way to obtain information about the body, a skilled practitioner would be able to do this with merely a simple, Iris Scope. And though it is not a diagnostic tool, at the very least, iridology is helpful in giving the user a starting point from where to detect a problem. Moreover, since the main goal of iridology is not treatment but rather prevention, there is also no inherent harm in the use of iridology. Iridologists are aware that this practice should not be used alone, but in conjunction with other medical sciences and wholistic arts. As I have said, to date there is not sufficient evidence to disprove iridology, and till that day comes; iridology remains an invaluable tool for obtaining information on a person’s overall health potential.
