I have heard a little about this, and I was wonering if there was anywhere anyone has found any information on this topic. I would #1 like to get my eyes read to determine what is physicaly wrong with me. Also #2 I would love to be able to learn how to read the irises myself. Any information would be appreciated.

There is no scientific basis for iridology whatsoever. Don't waste your money and risk your health with this quackery.

There is a place where I went for iridology. The diagnoses was interesting but only part of the prescribed herbs were helpful. It's worth trying, though.

Good luck!!

I've been exposed to Iridology for 16 years, it does work. Those that say it doesn't work, read it somewhere, like maybe something from Stephen Barrett, M.D..
It's sort of funny, Mr Quack Watch says Acupuncture & Chiropractic does not work.
So why is it that both forms of treatment has been excepted by the Medical
Association? My chiropractor who does Iridology, told my wife that she had a problem in the area of the bladder and to see a doctor about it. Thats where the doctor found the tumor.

Hi...iridology is an interesting field. My naturopath has looked at my eyes a few of times. The first he picked up that my bowel was very toxic and my stomach was inflamed but..I had already told him this so did he really see it? Then later he said it was much better - less inflamed - but I'd told him that as well.
A couple of weeks ago he looked again and said that my thyroid gland was swollen. He put me on some medicine which made me feel disgusting and when (after I wrote to the IBS health board and someone said I should go to the doctor) I had this checked out with a TSH (Thyroid hormone level test) it was normal.
Those are just my experiences though - I think getting a second opinion would be good and making sure that the iridologist is qualified. Maybe iridology is better for some things than others?
