Iridology: The Iris Can Indicate A Problem in Its Earlier Inception, Long Before Disease Symptoms Are Present.
Iridology: The Iris Can Indicate A Problem in Its Earlier Inception, Long Before Disease Symptoms Are Present.
Iridology
How does a mother know that her child is tired? When she sees the child rubbing the eyes.
Similarly signs of ill health can be seen in the eyes, even before he clinical symptoms appear.
So I examine the iris of the patient and diagnose the disease, says Dr. Ludmila Vassilieva,
MBBS, MD, PHD, Homeopath and Iridologist, Holistic Healing Medical Centre.

Iridology is a method whereby the doctor can tell from markings or signs in the iris
the reflex condition of various organs and systems of the body. These markings
represent a detailed picture of the integrity of the body, its constitutional strength,
areas of congestion or toxic accumulations and inherent strengths and weaknesses.
No two eyes are alike, which is what makes this diagnostic test unique.
Iridology provides in-depth information about the patients constitution and pathology.
The iris of the eyes show that changes that occur in the body and reveal abnormal
tissue conditions, explains the doctor. Iridology more accurately identifies the true
source of illness which often may be disguised by symptoms and allergies that appear
unrelated to the cause.
Take for instance jaundice, the first sign are seen by the whites of the eyes turning
yellow or chronic nephritis (inflammation of the kidney) where the eyelids become
puffy and vision quickly deteriorates; or rheumatic fever and influenza, where the iris
first becomes inflamed. It is not without reason that the eyes have been considered
to be an early warning mechanism in relation to our physical health.
Did you know that eyes could reveal over 3000 different conditions related to our
health? The human eye is one of the great wonders of Nature. It is the size of a ping-
pong ball but is incredibly precise relaying over two billion messages to and from the
brain. Small wonder that the eyes were believed by ancient sages and philosophers
to be windows of the soul and today, by health practitioners, to be mirrors of bodies
and minds giving exact information about the state of health, emotions, character,
personality and even thoughts.
In Iridology the fibers in the iris are said to reflect the strength of the body tissues;
the closer knit they are the stronger the constitution. Conversely, if they are loosely
knit, pathological strength is weaker.

I use both Homeopathy and Iridology to help make a diagnosis on all my patients,
explains Dr. Ludmila. What she does is gaze deep down into the eyes using a device
that is similar to a microscope to determine the structural response of the tissue, nerve
conditions and toxic settlements. Color shades in lesions or localized areas of the iris,
whether white or grey, grey or black give the degree of tissue pathology from the acute
or irritated stage through the sub-acute, chronic or degenerative stages.
There is an interesting story behind the birth of iridology, which is said to have place
about 1861. A Hungarian doctor and homeopath, Ignatz Von Peczeley, first noticed
the relationship between the iris and the rest of the body as a young boy. He had
taken home an owl with a broken leg to nurse it back to health. By chance, as he
stared into the eyes, he saw a black streak in one eye. Constantly monitoring of the
owls eye, as it grew better, he noticed that white lines now surrounded the black
streak. Late in life as a doctor he happened to treat a patient with a broken limb and
he suddenly remembered the owl incident. On examination he found the black streak.
Excited he carried out the same tests with his other patients eyes. His observation was
that patients with similar health problems shared similar discolorations and marking
in the same locations in their irises. Years later he made a chart that showed how
different sections of the iris actually reordered the condition of different organs and
tissues of the body.
Dr. Ludmila, who qualified in general medicine from the Ukraine Medical University,
is a PhD in Cardiology and has done extensive research in the rheology of blood (a
study which can give indication about the substance and quality of blood). Her ken
interest in other forms of science inspired her to study homeopathy, iridology and
acupuncture. Now she runs the Holistic Healing Medical Centre.
