This book is now in the
works and hopefully will be
on bookshelves soon.  
Iridology is so important that
I wish to share the
knowledge of this
valuable health assessment
tool with everyone.

The research being carried
on across
the world, using our eyes as
the bearers of incredible
information, consistently
validates the science .
  INTRODUCTION

                  “The eyes, like sentinels, hold the highest place in                                                 the body.”           -----------
Marcus Tullius Cicero

The intent of this book is to introduce the science of iridology to the general public.  Iridology has been in existence
for over 3,000 years, but is just gaining respect in the United States in the past several decades.  It is of great
benefit that the average person understands the valuable tool available to them in iridology.

In addition, the many scientists, medical doctors, naturopaths, and researchers who have dedicated themselves
to various areas of iridology and sclerology deserve the honor and notoriety that I will endeavor to credit them in
this book.  It will serve the public to know the lengths that are being taken all around the world to promote and
prove the integrity of this wonderful science.  

All people should have choices.  Genetic tendencies for chronic and degenerative diseases can be determined
well in advance of symptoms through study of the eyes.  It is imperative for people to know that they can take
advantage of a non-invasive science that might inform them of the potentials that lie ahead.  Then they can make
choices to take preventive measures.

I will not attempt to get into such great detail that one could pick up this book and do a self analysis.  This is not
possible, nor safe.  It is important that the book give you a general understanding of iridology and hopefully prompt
you to find a qualified iridologist in your area so that you might benefit from a thorough analysis.
My hope is that you will enjoy finding a glimpse of yourself through your eyes.  

The suggestions for diet changes and herbal supplementation are merely proposals and not ‘prescriptions for
certain iris colors’.  Iridologists in the United States do not attempt to diagnose disease; and the information in this
book most certainly is no more than a guide for understanding the generalities of the three major iris colors, as
well as providing some understanding of the signs that Iridologists interpret.  The science of iridology is very
exacting, and by no means does this book attempt to do any more than begin that intriguing journey into
comprehension of how iridology can help people to know their unique body, mind and spirit.

Iridology is the science and practice of analyzing the iris, the most complex external structure of the human
anatomy.  The practice of iridology is expanding rapidly as it is becoming known as a valuable tool for preventive
healthcare.  The iris is connected to every organ and tissue of the body by way of the brain and nervous system.  It
is in direct contact with the bio-energetic, bio-chemical, structural, hormonal, and metabolic processes of the body
via the nerves, blood vessels, muscle fibers, and lymph.  Holistically, it is used to accurately assess the physical,
mental, emotional, and spiritual patterns and weaknesses for a complete health analysis.  It is completely
painless, non-invasive, and economically viable while providing valuable information for restorative and preventive
health care.

The iris will alert us to the early signs of approaching ‘dis-ease’.  As assessments are made, and the stressors
understood, proper corrective measures can be applied.
Thus the eye is the very aware ‘informant’ about the cause of body stresses and weaknesses. Iridologists trained
in interpreting the indications portrayed in the eye have the advantage of occupying ‘command central’ rather than
a peripheral monitor such as blood, hair, tongue, or urine analysis, which does not have full access to all of the
body’s information, although each of these diagnostic systems provide specific valuable knowledge.  Practically
speaking, the right hand may not know what the left hand is doing, but the brain center knows what both hands are
doing simultaneously and the eye is privy to that information.

Several years ago, during an iridology class with Dr. David Pesek, I met a classmate who was a surgeon from
Russia.  This doctor told me that in his country iridology was treated with respect and was widely used.  He went
on to explain that when a patient went to a clinic or hospital, the first practitioner they were sent to was the
iridologist.  The iridologist was meant to determine the root cause of the patient’s difficulties.  From that point the
patient was directed to a specialist that could help them.  This is just one country abroad.  There are many more
countries where the medical community does not look upon iridology with a jaundiced eye (pun intended).  It is
definitely time that iridology receives the respect it deserves in our medical community.  It is also past time that the
public learns of the value of iridology and how it can serve them as a non-menacing means of preventive medicine.

What misbegotten occurrences have created this impression that iridology is ‘hocus pocus’?  In the chapter of this
book entitled “Debunking the Myths” you will read some of the unfortunate misconceptions that have circulated.  
Could it also be that the general medical, or allopathic community, have deliberately squelched any recognition of
this science?  Certainly you will see that now, there are many respected medical doctors who are using iridology
in their practices.


Iridology and Sclerology, combined with sound nutritional advice and wise application can provide people with the
ability to consciously take charge of their health and longevity, overcome and alleviate excess stress, and live a
happier and healthier life.
