What is Iridology?
The eyes are the window to the soul... and, perhaps the billboard of the body.
{{{2}}}
The eyes may be a window to the soul, but the soul has to live in a physical body. Iridologists fine-tune this idea by identifying and unfolding the corresponding signs in the iris that advertise the body's condition. The stunning parallels confirm that this investigation is ripe for thorough, detailed study at all levels. While many use Iridology as a somewhat useful 'side-tool', there is a strong need for a serious, focused application of anatomy, physiology and medicine, as well as a healthy investigation and awareness of alternative modalities. Iridology is especially valuable in assessing a person's systemic health.

An Iridologist makes calculated judgments identifying patterns, spots, colors and many other characteristics of the iris, all of them in fact. The picture that emerges gives great insight to the condition of the body's tissues as they work together systemically, and as they stand alone. From there, bodily ailments that respond to weak and strong areas can be readily identified. A good Iridologist can then take this a step further and offer advice on how to tackle ailments. At the NYCenter for Iridology practice includes not only Clinical Iridology but a variety of modalities including naturopathy, herbology, phytotherapy, and medical herbology.
What is "Clinical" Iridology?
Article by Harvey Vedder Clinical Iridologist and Research Director at NYCI
At NYCI Clinic and Training School we're often asked about the term "Clinical Iridology"...What's it mean?
While the European practice of Iridology tends to focus on genetic inheritance and predispositions seen in the irides, NYCI focuses on current health conditions seen there. That's the short answer. To understand this better, you need to know the three strengths of iridology as a discovery tool (using that term to voluntarily and legally distance ourselves from the incorrect notion that Iridology diagnoses diseases --more on this below).
The first strength is that marks or ocular biomarkers in the iris are found to show Genetic predispositions, i.e. do I inherit my family's heart weakness? The eye is not a blank slate at birth. The iris displays marks in specific sectors which relate to the body organ or system represented by that precise spot in the iris. Second, trauma over the lifetime, i.e. an audit trail or log of injury serious enough to cause a reflex marking to be recorded in the area of the iris associated with a particular organ or system. This is similar to reflexology, which finds not marks, but sensitive areas in the foot which correspond to injury in a remote body organ or system. And third, Current conditions, i.e. exactly where your body is experiencing an inflammation or abnormal condition--sometimes even without acute awareness on your part.
Clinical Iridology places primary emphasis on the third--current conditions. Other schools of Iridology focus primarily on the first. At the NYCI Clinic, we find our clients are concerned with freeing themselves from current symptoms, although you won't hear us use disease names...for a good reason. While the medical world has a vast and growing vocabulary of symptom-groupings called 'diseases,' disease names are primarily a convenience enabling medical professionals to talk among themselves in abbreviated language: "This patient shows indications of having ingested inordinate amounts of toxic arsenic," can be shortened to "she has hyperarsenemia."
The body expresses itself in simple language--indications like under-active, over-active, trauma, enervation (weakened vitality) or inflamed condition, without any Latin or Greek suffixes. Pain, discomfort, agony, expelled toxins (like rashes or pimples) and many others are all body indicators of an unnatural tissue condition (something your body feels keenly) in a particular organ, region or system. In the iris, these indicators are readily seen as colors, marks, or depressions visible in the iris segment that corresponds to a particular organ.
Thus a trained iridologist recognizes distinct ocular biomarkers as indications of abnormal tissue conditions in a particular region of the body, by non-invasively scanning your eye. Iridology's three strengths conjoin to identify and distinguish genetic, trauma-caused, and currently active abnormal tissue conditions rather than diseases as such. Knowing what is troubling guides the body's owner to do something about it. Two steps suggest themselves: verifying initial conditions are "clear to go," and providing the body what it seeks to begin healing.
Given first, the proper initial conditions (a balanced biologic terrain) and second, healing substances demanded by damaged tissues, healing is accomplished by the body itself rather than the "healer," who merely makes the two requisites available. Like unerring instinct in an animal, the body possesses and uses self-diagnostics to heal itself.
Thus, Clinical Iridology's ability to identify where and what is currently going on, directs an intelligent, motivated client to arm their body with the two things needed to turn on the body's natural healing ability.
We think you will be very impressed at what Clinical Iridology can do for you.
