Pre-Cancerous Constitutional Types |
||
| The student will learn about the research done by Broy, instructor at the Naturopathic College in Munich, West Germany. The three constitutions, which he found to demonstrate a high propensity for development of neoplasia due to metabolic and immunological weaknesses, will be discussed. Slides will be shown to demonstrate that each of these three constitutional types can be noted by specific markings in the iris. | ||
| IR 512 | 3 credits | 51.12 |
|
Visions of Health |
||
| This course consists of the study of the iris map and how the iris markings and signs relate to the human body. The student will review 56 iris slides with an audio commentary by Dr. Jensen. These slides depict various case histories of Dr. Jensen. He explains which signs to observe in each iris picture and how they correlate with the health condition of each person. The student is then required to analyze various iris slides. | ||
| IR 522 | 3 credits | 51.12 |
|
Iris Analysis and Related Forms of Natural Treatment |
||
| The student will review the symbolic language of the interior world of the body through signs in the iris of the eye. Various methods of iridology will be reviewed including some sclerology. Case histories will be discussed. Herbal formulas, teas, tincture, oils, and ointments will be suggested as remedies. | ||
| IR 560 | 3 credits | 51.12 |

Principals of Iris Diagnosis |
||
| This course is based on the work of Josef Deck, a master Iridologist and founder of the Institute for Fundamental Research in Iris Diagnosis in Ettlinge, Germany. The student will learn about the history of iridology, heredity, iris constitutions, papillary disturbances and deformations, reflex markings, iris pigments, and transversals. It offers the student unique photographs taken at the Deck Institute with an iridoscope. The iridoscope was instrumental in aiding Joseph Deck to document his clinical studies of Iridology so that it could gain recognition as a true science in Europe. | ||

Advanced Iridology, Health and Nutrition |
||
| This is a thorough, comprehensive study of iridology. Students will discover how iridology and nutrition work together as well as how each organ or tissue type has a unique chemical balance, which is in equilibrium with the chemical balance of the body as a whole. When nerves are depleted in any part of the body, nerve depletion is reflected in the iris. When a specific mineral is depleted in any organ, it is indicated in the iris zone for that organ. Research is covered on genealogy and predisposing genetic factors, and how signs of inherent weakness differ from those of acquired illness. Advanced computer studies are examined to demonstrate an objective scientific basis for validating the iridological methods of health evaluation. | ||
