Iridology is quackery of German origin.

Please restrict your posts to Chinese quackery in the future.

Iridology is pretty old, man. And by no means is it a lost art...at least not in Canada. I know lots of people who practice this. And while the eyes my *seem* to be the window to the soul, everyone else here knows it's the pulse that is the window to the soul.

of course it is... it is so old it was basically lost until it became more mainstream again.

And by no means is it a lost art...at least not in Canada.

ah, so now it can be considered canadian quakery?

I know lots of people who practice this.

i know lots more who don't.

the pulse is not the window to the soul... the eyes are the window to the soul; you can look right thru a man and know him simply by looking into his eyes... eyes tell everything. now the pulse, depending on which of the twelve you are relating to, they simply indicate the vitality and functioning of the body that houses the soul.

Secret scrolls that I found buried in the sub-sub-basement of the rosicrucian lodge in Paris, Ontario guarded by a rabid marmaset divulged to me a true secret, lost, diagnostic technique.

Fingerprintology allows a fingerprintologist to tell everything that there is to know about the health of the person who is being observed simply by observing changes to the form of the fingerprint - through which all medical secrets will be revealed using this certifiable scientographic method.

eye diagnosis methods are very old. Iridology's just a modern version, combining western medicine with consistently correlative changes in the iris of the eye to indicate disease. At least, that's the theory. Is it effective? I have no idea.

I do know that chinese medicine has it's own eye diagnosis methods, ranging from the basic (sclera = lungs, iris = liver, pupil = kidney, lacrimal ducts = heart, lids = spleen) to the intricate (the eyeball as a whole is divided into pie-chart like sections denoting the various Zang Fu and burners, with blood-vesicle geography being included as a main component of syndrome differentiation.)

The big difference I see is that iridology focuses on diseases, wherease CM eye diagnosis focuses on syndromes.

I vote for syndrome differentiation - it's a cooler word.

What if you're blind?

You can tell a lot by a handshake, too.

It's 100% equally effective to cataloging consistent correlative changes to fingerprints. Because the amount that an iris DOES change over the life of an individual is about equivalent.

Well, there ya go. I guess I'll stick with cataloguing the blood vessicles in the sclera.

Thanks.

Nothing new about Iridology, IMO. It is indeed one of the auxilliary diagnostic assessments of Classical Chinese Medicine, and is also used as such by other health care practitioners, notably by many Naturopaths, Homeopathic Physicians, and Chiropractors, among others.
