How to Discover Disease Using Iridology

Iridology practitioners examine the iris to determine possible problems with the rest of the body. Iridology isn't used to diagnose any specific disease; but it can be used to discover possible vulnerabilities or weaknesses in all major organs of the body, including the heart, lungs, brain and kidneys. Follow these steps to find out how.

Things You'll Need

• Iridoscope
• Computer with Internet access
• Iridology chart
• Iridology camera

Instructions

Discover Disease Using Iridology Equipment

1. Focus an iridoscope on the iris of the patient's eye to magnify and illuminate it. This is a completely harmless and painless process, akin to shining a bright light into the eyes.

2. Take a picture of the iris using an iridology camera. This way, the iris can be examined more thoroughly without causing the patient any undue discomfort.

3. Look for discolorations, lines or other markings on the pupil to determine what problems might exist. Dark grey markings indicate deterioration of a particular organ. White means severe inflammation. It could indicate a serious problem. Black markings indicate dying tissue--most commonly, scarring.

4. Compare the iris picture to your iridology chart to determine what areas might be experiencing problems. Different sectors of the iris correspond to different areas of the body. For instance, the presence of small white dots at the bottom of the iris indicates an inflammation of the kidneys and a possible vulnerability to kidney stones.

5. Schedule an examination with a licensed medical doctor if problems are detected in a particular area of the body. This will help you determine if problems do exist, what they might entail and what precautions should be taken to guard against them.

6. Learn more about the iridology process, including its history and various problems it can detect, by visiting the "Iridology Now" Web site (see Resources below). You'll also find a helpful (if rudimentary) iridology chart here.

Tips & Warnings

• A makeshift iridoscope can be made using a flashlight and a magnifying glass.

• Professional-grade iridology equipment can be very expensive.

• Remember that iridology isn't used for the diagnosis of specific diseases. It's used merely as an "early warning signal" for potential problems.

• Don't attempt to use iridology equipment to diagnose problems without first obtaining an iridology practitioner certificate.

• Don't employ the services of an iridology practitioner who isn't certified. Be aware that neither the United States nor Canada require a license to practice iridology. Nevertheless, a number of organizations provide certification.

• If you experience acute pain, swelling, nausea or other serious symptoms, consult a medical doctor immediately. Before you start any alternative medical technique, be aware that many have not been scientifically evaluated. If you decide to try iridology, keep your doctor informed about the treatment you undertake.
