The eyes don't lie .. (old folklore saying)
Your eye is the lamp of your body. (Jesus, Luke 11:34-35 NIV)
The eyes are the window of the soul. (English Proverb)
The study of Iridology asserts that through studying markings in the iris one can learn about the inner workings of the body.
The word "iris" is Greek and means "rainbow" or "halo." The iris is the colorful portion of the eye that surrounds the pupil.
Every fiber, color, pattern, and defect in the iris is believed to have a reflex correlation with a disease manifestation or organ system malfunction. By studying the eye, Iridologists can reveal a patient's overall state of health, as well as their tendencies toward inherited disease and possible future problems.
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.
Iridology is used as more of a diagnostic tool than a treatment. It is not a medical exam or a definitive diagnosis of disease. Rather, it proposes to recognize:
* Toxins and their locations
* Stages of Inflammation
* Inherent Weakness or Strength
* General Health level
* Biochemical Deficiencies
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
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.
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.
Spots may "move" across the iris and are believed to indicate deficiencies or a "blocking" of awareness about a particular organ or system.

What is Iridology?
Iridology is the science and study of pathological and functional disturbances in the human body as indicated by abnormal markings and color changes in the iris of the eye, while revealing inflammation, where it is located and in what stage it is manifesting. The iris reveals bodily conditions as it relates to inherent weaknesses, levels of health, and the transition that takes place in a person's body when they choose to purify the way they, think, live and eat.

History of Iridology
The idea of the irises as indicators of potential illness isn’t a fad born of the New Age movement. Iridology’s roots date back more than 2,000 years. But the practice went through its own Dark Age, and much of its wisdom was lost amidst historic turmoil. Modern Iridology has its origins in 19th century Europe and an 11-year-old boy.
As a child, the Hungarian physician Ignatz von Peczley wrestled with an owl in his backyard and accidently broke the bird’s leg. He noticed that the iris of the owl’s eye had developed a dark stripe where there was none before. Intrigued, he wondered if this phenomenon would happen in people too. While he was working in a hospital, Dr. von Peczley observed the same occurrence in his patients and began to make detailed drawings of their eyes- the basis for many of todays iris charts.
While von Peczley is considered the father of Iridology, Dr. Jensen is credited with keeping the practice alive in America. He launched his career as a chiropractor in 1929 and later became one of the country’s leading nutritionists. A devout advocate of studying the iris, he developed a comprehensive eye chart that was the prominent one for decades. He kept the Iridology message alive when allopathic medicine was pushing holistic therapies aside.

Can Iridology Detect Susceptibility to Cancer?
Objective: This prospective case-control study aimed to investigate the value of iridology as a diagnostic tool in detecting some common cancers.
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.

An evaluation of iridology
A. Simon, D. M. Worthen and J. A. Mitas 2nd
Iridology is an analysis of health based on examination of the iris of the eye. One hundred forty-three patients had photographs taken of both eyes. Nine-five patients were free of kidney disease, defined as a creatinine level of less than 1.2 mg/dL (mean, 0.8 mg/dL), and 48 had kidney disease severe enough to raise the plasma creatinine level to 1.5 mg/dL or greater (mean, 6.5 mg/dL). Three ophthalmologists and three iridologists viewed the slides in a randomized sequence without knowledge of the number of patients in the two categories or any information about patient history. Iridology had no clinical or statistically significant ability to detect the presence of kidney disease. Iridology was neither selective nor specific, and the likelihood of correct detection was statistically no better than chance.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
(Mohandas Gandhi)
"When forced to summarize the general theory of relativity in one sentence:
Time and space and gravitation have no separate existence from matter. ... Physical objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially extended. In this way the concept 'empty space' loses its meaning. ... The particle can only appear as a limited region in space in which
the field strength or the energy density are particularly high. ...
The free, unhampered exchange of ideas and scientific conclusions is necessary for the sound development of science, as it is in all spheres
of cultural life. ... We must not conceal from ourselves that no improvement in the present depressing situation is possible without
a severe struggle; for the handful of those who are really determined to do something is minute in comparison with the mass of the lukewarm
and the misguided. ...
Humanity is going to need a substantially new way of thinking if it is to survive!" (Albert Einstein)
Our world is in great trouble due to human behaviour founded on myths and customs that are causing the destruction of Nature and climate change. We can now deduce the most simple science theory of reality - the wave structure of matter in space. By understanding how we and everything around us are interconnected
in Space we can then deduce solutions to the fundamental problems of human knowledge in physics, philosophy, metaphysics, theology, education, health, evolution and ecology, politics and society.
This is the profound new way of thinking that Einstein
realised, that we exist as spatially extended structures of the universe - the discrete and separate body an illusion. This simply confirms the
intuitions of the ancient philosophers and mystics.
Given the current censorship in physics / philosophy of science journals (based on the standard model of particle physics / big bang cosmology) the internet is the best hope for getting new knowledge
known to the world. But that depends on you, the people who care about science and society, realise the importance of truth and reality.
