Radii Solaris


This sign is probably one of the oldest ever identified. Its use has been extremely widespread. It has been used traditionally by the many herders to maintain the health of their herds, detecting a problem prior to the manifestation of symptoms. This sign gets its name because it appears as radials from a central object-the pupil. Each of these radials indicates a low level of seepage from the intestinal tract into that area represented on the chart. Thus producing a low level of septasemia (septic blood) and inplamation. This area may be high in parasite activity.

The prevalence of parasites in the United States is extremely high with estimates as high as 90 percent. Most pathologist will agree that during most autopsies they find an extremely high rate of parasites. This sign is also very special because it causes a reflexed irritation of the nervous system at the level it is seen, plus directly affects the adjacent tissue (adjacent on the iris chart).

With this sign the colon and other areas of the G.I tract have a general and constant leakage of toxic material. This material goes directly into the blood. This sign indicates more than just routine seepage. It is as though a through has been dug right through the intestinal wall into the adjacent tissue, thus allowing toxic material into these areas at a very fast rate.

Hyperactive Stomach

IridologyWhen the stomach is hyperactive, whether acidic or alkaline, it will show as a white ring around the pupil. This ring has been named, and rightfully so, a “stomach ring.” Some of the symptoms that can be associated with this sign are heartburn and sensityvity to such items as coffee, tea, alcohol, tobacco, citrus fruits, and spices.
In very severe cases patients have been known to actually spit-up excessive digestive acids.

The most common pathology associated with this condition is ulceration. This can be located in either the gastric mucosa or the duodenum/small intestine.

Treatment Considerations

The most effective treatment for this condition is a combination of specific spinal treatments such as would be expected from a chiropractor or osteopath and one to two tablespoons of aloe vera liquid fifteen minutes before each meal.

Capsicum is one of the gratest healer known to man. Even though hot and used in many cases as a pepper, capsicum, if taken correctly, can heal a bleeding ulcer almost completely within 48 hours

Slippery elm is a highly nutritious herb and is very soothing to the digestive system.

Underactive Stomach

Iridology
A hypoactive/underactive stomach is probably one of the most subtle causes of malnutrition known to man. When this condition exists, there is a dark ring around the pupil in the stomach zone of the iris. This ring is called the “stomach ring”,” and whenever seen indicates gastric/stomach dysfunction.
If the ring is white, the dysfunction is one of overactivity; if dark, the dysfunction is one of underactivity. Most people with underactivity stomachs are unaware of any stomach problem.

Some common symptoms are easy nausea, frequent belching and burping after meals.

Colon Cancer

Definition of colon cancer: Cancer that forms in the tissues of the colon (the longest part of the large intestine). Most colon cancers are adenocarcinomas (cancers that begin in cells that make and release mucus and other fluids).

Definition of rectal cancer: Cancer that forms in the tissues of the rectum (the last several inches of the large intestine before the anus).

Estimated new cases and deaths from colon and rectal cancer in the United States in 2008:

  • New cases: 108,070 (colon); 40,740 (rectal)
  • Deaths: 49,960 (colon and rectal combined)

Symptoms of colon cancer are numerous and nonspecific. They include fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, change in bowel habits, narrow stools, diarrhea or constipation, red or dark blood in stool, weight loss, abdominal pain, cramps, or bloating. Other conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (spastic colon), ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, diverticulosis, and peptic ulcer disease can have symptoms that mimic colorectal cancer.

Absorption Ring


When an absorption ring is present, it means that nutrient absorption from the small intestine is compromised. Look for a reddish-brown or burnt-umber edge around the pupil.

The colon easily becomes toxic because of its function in disponding of body wastes. This waste material often remains in the large intestine for months and even years, decaying more and more, producing poisons, and seeping into the body through the bowel wall. Most of this seepage is gradual except in cases where a radii solaris or radial furrow sign is present.

A dirty or 'toxic' colon can be the beginning of many diseases. Toxic wastes are more likely to be absorbed through the bowel wall and into the bloodstream. The blood then circulates these toxins to every part of the body and deposits some of them in tissues. The greatest amounts of these toxins are retained in the constitutionally weakest tissues. If any other elimination system in the body is under active, more wastes are retained in the body. As toxins accumulate in the tissues, alterations in cellular functioning takes place, especially in the tissues in which toxins have settled. In addition, digestion may become poor, with the partially digested material adding to the problems because the body cannot make tissue out of half digested nutrients. When a person reaches the degenerative-disease stage, it is a sign that toxic settlement has taken over a specific part or parts of the body. This is the time to consider detoxification
