INTRODUCTION
Iridology is not a new discovery, but rather dates back to the
twelfth century. Shepherds down through the ages have examined the
eyes of their sheep to check health and to cull out the weak ones.
Stockmen still examine cattle eyes to determine the general health of
their livestock, by observing whether the eyes are bright and vibrant
or dull and lifeless.
The formal medical study of the eye probably began with
Hippocrates, as did so much of the study of human anatomy. Most
authors agree that the study of the iris of the eye began with Ignatz
Von Peczely in 1866. As a boy in Bulgaria, he noticed that a pet owl
with a broken leg also had a mark on the iris of the eye corresponding
to the break. As the leg healed, this spot grew smaller. This interested
Von Peczely, who later became a medical doctor. As a doctor in
Bulgaria he studied people being admitted to the hospital, drawing
pictures of their irises. Upon their release from the hospital, he again
drew pictures, and then compared the two pictures. This prompted
him to write a book on his studies entitled Discoveries in the Realm of
Nature and the Art of Healing. Dr. Von Peczely also made the first
iridology chart and discovered that the parts of the iris corresponded
with parts of the body and the organs. He outlined this relationship on
his iridology chart.
Dr. Von Peczely's work inspired other European doctors like Dr.
Nils Lilinquist of Sweden, who first noticed the effects of drugs on
the iris of the eye. Other European iridologists were inspired to
further the work and bring it to the New World. It has been slow to
start in the United States, but because of the work of people like Dr.
Bernard Jensen and myself, the work continues to grow. Books like
Dr. Jensen's The Science and Practice of Iridology volumes 1 and 2,
and my book Eyes the Windows of the Body and the Soul, as well as
extensive lecturing across the country by myself and others, has
acquainted many people with iridology. Although in 1978 there were
probably only a few hundred iridologists in the United States, at
present there are thousands of lay iridologists. Everyone who hears
the principles of iridology related to corrective diet, herbs, and
vitamins and applies them in his own life eventually proves such
principles to himself. The interest by the medical community over the
10 years that I have been lecturing has been astounding. Over the past
four years it was rare when I did not have medical doctors,
chiropractors, nurses, and pharmacists in my classes, and their
particular interest seem to be in iridology.
My contribution to the work already done in the history of
iridology has been to show how to relate iridology to the use of herbs
and a mild food diet. Improvement can be recognized simply by the
way a person feels as he learns herbs and a corrective diet. With the
use of iridology he can also watch the changes as they take place in
his eyes. This is a Marvel and a wonder to behold, for as the body
heals the eyes change like a kaleidoscope. When such results can be
achieved, the logic of a mild food diet and the use of herbs is sound
and iridology proves the truth of both.
The use of drugs by established medical methods for healing has
too long proven ineffective. It was previously assumed that drugs
were all that was needed, and in the beginning the whole idea of
finding a wonder drug to solve the world's physical problems met
with little resistance. Everyone liked the idea, "Break all the rules of
health and diet; don't worry, the doctor will give you a little pill, or
when needed cut you open, and he will take all the responsibility for
your health." However, thinking people everywhere have become
disenchanted with this concept, as well as with the drugs themselves.
They have come to the conclusion that drugs are alien to the natural
physiology of man concerning the human body and that all the rules
of physical laws have been broken in a search for alternative
solutions. Meanwhile, a new, yet old, science has risen to popularity
and returned to the herb kingdom for the answers. However, those
who are thinking even more deeply are recognizing that the real
answer does not lie in medicine of any kind but rather in obedience to
the laws of nature. Only then will man be free of the pain of disease.
Preventative medicine has become the real solution.
In order for iridology to be of value to the layperson so that he
may be able to analyze the inside of his body, it is essential to
understand how to use iridology specifically in conjunction with herbs
and correct diet.
When my study of iridology began almost 40 years ago, it
appeared to be an excellent method of analysis, but it bothered me
greatly that no one seemed to know how to make any health changes
register on the iris of the eye rapidly. Changes occurred more quickly,
however, and were noted when the diet was changed to either a
vegetarian or fruitarian diet. Even the combination of vegetarian and
fruitarian diets proved significant changes, but it was a slow process
of lifestyle change, in some cases. Orthodox medicine was expanding
rapidly at the time. Science, through chemical research, was
promising new wonder drugs for every disease. This promise was
carrying people on the crest of a wave that was later to overshadow
most alternative medicines. When a headache could be stopped in
minutes with aspirin, and upset stomach could be instantly relieved,
and pain could be halted in its ongoing process, it seemed without
question that everyone was deeply inspired with the magic of drug
therapy.
My childhood background in natural living could not be
overcome, however, by the fashion of the day. My strict Mormon
background forbid the use of coffee, tea, tobacco, and alcohol, but my
home training went even further. I felt guilty if I took an aspirin or ate
sugar that was not raw or flour that was not whole wheat.
I always felt somehow that there was a food or plant that could
help to overcome any health problem, with the exception of an
organic, inherent genetic birth defect. It had always seemed to me that
broken laws were the causes of disease. If this is true, certainly a
merciful God should have made a medicine to overcome or at least
relieve disease. Since all of life is based on the principle of
repentance, or trial and error, it seems to me medicine that any person
can find and use is more useful in many ways than synthetic or manmade
medicine. Over the centuries man has learned which herbs to use for different
disease by both study and by inspiration. Orthodox
medicine has probed with laser-like accuracy, penetrating the
microscopic agent of diseased tissue and even the DNA molecule.
With all the technical pinpointing in medicine, the rest of the whole
body becomes the blind spot. Herbs, on the other hand, influence the
entire body rather than a specific area. Aside from the poisons of the
drugs, treating isolated areas of the body seems to be the greatest
weakness of Orthodox medicine. By comparison, herbal remedies are
always gentler and safer, with no side effects.
One of the main reasons for the great hope of iridology is that as
the body begins to deteriorate in any given area, the iris perceives not
only the deterioration but the extent to which the disease is involved.
With the perspective of the iris a person must always maintain a
constant vigil in order to deter deterioration, and at all times an all out
program must be performed to overcome the invading disease. The
advantage becomes twofold: prevention or correction and restoration
of health. The eyes are truly the windows of the body. Every error,
injury, or pathological disturbance in the body finds its way to the
windows, where we can peer in to discover the uttermost dark, secret
and hidden places. As the body heals through correct principle, the
eyes will change like a kaleidoscope, a wondrous miracle to behold.
Serious health problems appear on the eye long before symptoms
begin to cause alarm, and with a disease like cancer, by the time help
is sought, it is already too late.
Medical science as a whole has not accepted iridology as a true
science because medical drugs do not heal the body; therefore, this
beautiful change in the eyes as repairs are made cannot be
experienced by Orthodox methods. If medical science were to use
nature's methods they would soon learn as I have that the eye is a
wonderful x-ray, and that God did not place us on earth so that the
only way we could find out what was wrong with our bodies was to
be cut open or have all kinds of fluids run through our veins so that
our insides could be photographed. No, he put windows on us. It has
been evident to many who have learned about iridology that with the
use of herbs and mild foods, the eye changes as health is restored. The
iris of the eye demonstrates places where bones have been broken,
where surgery has been performed, and where glands are functioning
and where they are not. You can determine where parasites are
present in the body and in what areas they have accumulated. It can
even be determined whether a person has taken drugs and where in
the body they are lodged. The vitality, strength, and weakness of a
body is evidenced in the iris. Anemia or an over toxic condition may
also be seen in the iris, along with accumulation of waste such as
cancerous tumors, arthritis, etc. When a person is nervous, it can be
determined just how nervous by the number of nerve rings on the iris.
Inherently weak places in the body, or where the body is most likely
to break down, are evident in the iris long before that area finally does
break down.
Man has devised an instrument called an oscilloscope. When this
