Full Title: The Science and Practice of Iridology, A System of Analyzing and Caring for the Body Through the Use of Drugless and Nature-Cure Methods
These short excerpts intended to give the reader a general idea of the nature, validity and science (repeat testing with consistent results) of iridology. Iridology is a provable science. It does require time and lifestyle changes.
...iridology is a science whereby the doctor or operator can tell from the markings or
signs in the iris of the eye the reflex condition of the various organs of the body. In other words,
it is the science of determining acute, sub-acute, chronic, and destructive stages in the affected organs of
the body through their corresponding areas in the iris.

Iridology shows the general location and stage of inflammation within the body structure:
What more need a doctor know than the location of the inflammation in the body, the stage it is in,
how it arrived there, how to free the body of it, and most of all, when you have freed it?...
The true healing art is one in which we teach a patient to change his living habits to conform
to natural laws so that instead of having to rebuild a sick body, he can prevent disease in the
first place....Even the most competent and reputable physician knows that the addition of a valuable
technique is always an asset to him...

...Television is probably one of the best comparisons we could make of these markings appearing in the iris
reflexly from remote organs. What we actually see when we watch a baseball or football game on the television
screen, is probably taking place many miles from where we are viewing it. But this picture is actually
going through the air , silently, via a vibratory channel. What you see in the iris involves the
same principle. The picture reflected in the iris comes from some part of the body by remote control
[em wave lengths-frequency]....

...Although I believe that iridology should be considered as one of the most essential diagnosis, I
repeat that along with it we should employ every other form of analysis that might result in help
for the patient

Modern practice is proving to us more conclusively every day that man, in his complex structure,
is very incompletely understood in spite of our advances in science. Certainly we are becoming
increasingly aware that a faulty premise underlies a method which must first determine the name of a disease,
classify it according to its symtomotology, and then treat it on the basis of the symptoms. This method
of diagnosis, when finished, deals with effects only; and in describing and naming a million and one
symptoms from a few basic causes of disease, a complex procedure is established.

Statistics have shown that the Mayo Brothers Clinic has been in the past, only 42% correct
in their diagnosis. In the June, 1929 issues of The FORUM, Mr. T. Swann Harding writes: 'As a matter
of fact, I heard Dr. Charles Mayo make a proud boast before a surgical congress in Washington, D.C.,
in 1927. He boasted that the Mayo Clinic had attained the phenomenal record of fifty percent correct
diagnosis'... The percentage of incorrect diagnosing is almost as great tody as it was back in 1927
due to the increase in disease symptoms...

In iridology, the important fundamental is the appearance in the iris of signs that new tissue
is replacing old tissue....Having studied this particular method of analysis for eighteen years, we
feel there is no reason for any condemnation of iridology.... Iridology can be used in conjunction with
any other form of analysis and diagnosis in helping a patient to a better state of health....
surgery may be unavoidable in certain advanced cases, although for those who will cooperate with
natural methods, surgery usually can be avoided...Through iridology patients can be warned in time
for prevention of disease.

Note: The clarity of the iris more important than the overall eye-color.
..In our search for a normal eye we found both blue and brown eyes [and their shades] that we considered normal in
color...

In this study of iridology and its related sciences, we will give little attention to the names of
disease conditions. Instead we will tell you where inflammation is in the body and the stage of the inflammation: that is,
whether it is in the acute, sub-acute, chronic or destructive stage...If the proper treatment is administered,
healing signs will develop in the iris.
