Born a long time ago, iridology developed and matured with respect to basic status in many countries. The modern iridological profession is in a unique position, combining the best with both natural and conventional medicine. At some point, Iridology could use conventional and supplemental medicine. The scope of the iridologist's practice can include suggestions for further medical examinations, such as laboratory tests and accurate MRI and CT, which are extremely important in the field of conventional drugs. On the other hand, Iridology is very useful for choosing the right medical procedure, which is very important in the field of complementary medicine.
Iridology has virtually unlimited potential for screening a large group of people for the early signs of pathology or its inherent weaknesses, which can later manifest themselves in well-developed diseases and disorders. This could save a huge amount of money currently spent on treating chronic diseases in hospitals — diseases that have become chronic because they were not diagnosed and managed in the early stages of their development.
The place of iridology in complementary medicine simply cannot be overestimated. It is obvious that a correct diagnosis must be made before any naturopathic intervention. And the diagnosis should not be a "label", as is usually done in conventional medicine. It should include a description of the inherent status of a particular organ, as well as its level of circulation and nutrition, as well as the supply of nerves. And when the healing program is completed, another iridological analysis can help evaluate the success of the application program.
Complementary medicine is rapidly integrating into basic health care, mainly in response to consumer demand, and also in recognition of new research results that broaden our views on health care and treatment. The same applies to iridology. In the near future, basic knowledge in the field of Iridology will require primary health care, family practice and general internal medicine, not to mention the methods of complementary medicine.
The goal of disease prevention is shared by both complementary and basic medicine. Any prevention requires a proper assessment of the functional capabilities of the human body. Iridology can play a key role in this assessment, providing valuable information about organs and systems of the body, both for providers and for general medical professionals.
Iridology as a fast, painless and cost-effective diagnostic method can be easily incorporated into any medical or naturopathic remedy. This may be especially important for small rural hospitals and naturopathic surgeries with no expensive diagnostic equipment.
The rapidly growing popularity of iridology will help to incorporate this alternative diagnostic method more deeply into the world of both traditional and complementary medicine in the future.
