It's all in the eye
Iridology is the study of the eye's iris, used to diagnose someone's state of health and warn patients of potential problems. The underlying theory is that the entire body is reflected in the iris. Iridology is for diagnosis only and not for treatment. However, many indologists are practising homeopaths, herbalists or acupunctunsts.The study of the iris not only indicates current health, but identifies potential weaknesses, many of which we inherit from our parents. By identifying a condition before it becomes a problem, people can minimize it or avoid it through changes to diet and lifestyle. Iridology has a long history. It was practised in Ancient Egypt, and Hippocrates mentions it, too. The Hungarian, Dr Ignatz von Peczely (1822-1911) is the founder of iridology as a modern science. When he was a boy, he accidentally broke the leg of his pet owl and noticed a dark mark appear in the bird's eye. As the leg healed, the mark disappeared. When von Peczely became a doctor; he developed a map showing the relationship of different parts of the body to the iris.
Iridology works because the iris records everything that has happened to the body since the age of six.It also carries genetic information which indicates future problems. The colour of the iris also provides the practitioner with vital information.
