In the iris, we observe what we call landmark signs that consist of a variety of abnormal signs called crypts, lacunae, lesions, radius solaris, nerve ring, lymphatic rosary, lipid ring, etc. Some are genetic embryological signs as the cysts. They may be localized on a specific organ as the result of abnormal development in the embryo or from the mother's health condition.
Their color, such black inside, may be frequently associated with a tumor. Often, I observe large metabolic pigmentation that is either brown or darker, located either on some organs or tissues. Dark metabolic pigmentation shows a high risk of malignancy, if the patient has not already been diagnosed as such. (See my book page 193 for example.)
Abnormal colors, either in blue or brown irises, also need careful interpretation. There may be toxic residue, drug deposits, synthetic foods, constipation, and chemical pollution, vaccination, treatment with antibiotics, or even genetic inheritance from the parents. Over time the disease process caused by intoxication is reflected by color changes, modification of fiber structures, and darker area in the iris. These changes can be observed primarily in the colon and ciliary area and even the brain area.
The stage of inflammation is one of the important advantages of iridology. Iris fibers can appear very white showing a sign of acute inflammation, usually associate with pain, while darker fibers may show chronic inflammation. Same as a nerve rings go around half of the periphery of the iris or all around. They can appear white, brown, or even dark and are an indication of the various stages of physical stress, nerve and tissues contraction.
When visible in the brain area, it indicates serious nerve tension, aggressivity, and emotional distress. Today, this is quite visible in young women who have an excessive amount of study in university, computer, smoking, wrong food, etc. This also has a negative effect on the colon with chronic constipation.
Dr. Jensen used to say Iridology belongs to nutrition meaning to change something in the chemical composition of your body; you need to clean up, make new healthy cells, reverse an abnormal process, change your food, and improve your nutrition. This is far from being a complete explanation, but one important thing is to reverse abnormal processes in your body utilizing a healing process called Hering’s Law. Through iridology you can observe when you change your diet during a 3 or 4 months period of time.
During my professional career I have spent a considerable amount of time observing breast cancer patients, having noticed that in most cases they suffer from chronic constipation. I’ve noticed that 80-90% of breast cancers begin in the left breast for which science has no explanation. By observing the iris you’ll notice that the descending colon and sigmoid always appear darker showing an accumulation of feces in these women suffering from constipation with the presence of pathogenic bacteria. This also involves a disturbed collarette.
Iridology is probably the only science that permits monitoring of any bowel disorder that patients suffer along with bowel reflex symptoms and diseases located in other organs. I believe it is the most interesting way to understand the unknown cause of a symptom or disease. After at least a 50-year delay, science has begun to discover that we have a second brain in the intestine with intestinal neurons that connect via the Enteric Nervous System to our central nervous system.
