Detoxification
I cannot stress enough,
how important it is for us to rid the body of toxins and my belief is that
their accumulation in the body slows down cell function and increases the
chances of cancer formation or serious chronic degenerative conditions.
The Kidneys and
the Urinary System
They cleanse our
blood. They are responsible for filtration of the blood and removal of
waste products by producing urine.
The kidneys remove
wastes from the body including the drugs we take and chemical preservatives
in food that we ingest. The kidneys are vital to our health. Without them
our bodies would become so toxic that we would die. We take them for granted.
Unlike the liver, however, they do not regenerate easily and once diseased
they create a number of health problems.
Often patients with
kidneys that are not functioning optimally are those with dark rings or
bags under their eyes or who suffer chronic fatigue. In the iris of the
eye, those who are born with a kidney - lymphatic constitution type are
prone to kidney problems and if not careful end up on dialysis in later
years. Many iris signs also indicate weak kidneys associated with urinary
tract problems and bladder infections. Through my years of iris studies,
I have found that kidney problems or disposition to kidney problems can
be detected as early as three years of age. It is very important to assist
weak kidneys as soon as possible to prevent serious degeneration that is
then difficult to cure. Another possible outcome of weak kidney function
is skin problems. This includes eczema, dry and itchy skin, boils and various
other skin diseases. Poor kidney function also often manifests itself in
fluid accumulation in the body, or edema. This can be seen as puffiness
in the face, fluid accumulation in the arms or legs, or in the head where
migraine headaches often occur. Yes, even migraine headaches can often
be traced back to a poorly functioning kidney.
We need to be reminded
to take care of our kidneys. Feeling tired, angry, anxious, depressed,
nervous, or aggressive, may be a sign that our bodies are overloaded with
toxins.
Our kidneys need
water to properly get rid of the toxic wastes in our bodies and to reduce
the risk of kidney stone formation. Water does not include alcohol, coffee
or black tea. If you suffer from arthritis, back pain, fatigue, or headaches,
you cannot expect to improve your health if you do not drink enough water!
So many health problems that I have seen have improved dramatically once
the body is supplied with one of the most important and essential nutrients
we need constantly every day, plain unsweetened and un-carbonated water.
While iris diagnosis
often detects a weakened kidney, it also can reveal the consequences such
as skin problems, toxin accumulation in the body, over-acidic conditions,
high blood pressure, and the strain on other organs such as the liver and
the heart. Kidney stones cannot be seen in the iris of the eye as they
have no nerve supply but often-acute inflammation signs may be seen in
the kidney areas, which can indicate the possibility. As we saw in the
kidney lymphatic genetic iris constitution, yellow pigment in the iris
can indicate weaknesses in the kidneys and the appearance of breaks in
the fibers, flecks, lacunae, or nerve rings can be seen in conditions like
glomerulonephritis, bladder infections, and other associated urinary or
kidney problems.
The Liver
The liver may not
be the most glamorous organ in the body but it is the largest and in my
opinion, the second greatest in importance next to the intestines.
When the liver is
not functioning properly, people feel cranky, nauseous, and irritable and
symptoms range from flatulence, headaches, fluid retention, skin problems
and constipation to jaundice and cirrhosis. People need to realize that
if they take care of their livers, they will solve a great majority of
their health problems, since it is the liver where the problems often begin.
The liver performs around 22 primary functions and is responsible for a
total of two thousand reactions and functions in the body. Think about
it for a moment, almost 2,000 functions from one body organ, such is the
importance of our liver.
While the liver is
a integral component of the digestive system in its production of bile,
it has many other functions including metabolism of hormones, fats, and
carbohydrates, synthesis of plasma proteins, formation of urea which is
eventually filtered by the kidneys and removed as urine, destruction of
worn-out blood cells, and glucose balance. One of its primary functions
is detoxification of the blood.
When the liver is
not healthy, people find it difficult to handle animal protein. The protein
deficiency then creates further health problems and consequently other
systems in the body begin to malfunction. The result is a population that
is very lethargic, with no appetite in the morning, which needs to be artificially
stimulated into activity with coffee and sugar or cigarettes in order to
make it through the day.
The iris often reveals
liver involvement by brown flecks seen throughout the iris
The Lymphatic
System
Do you suffer from
constant coughs, sore throat, or flu? Do you find that the frequency of
these conditions is increasing every year? Are bacterial infections taking
longer to clear up? If the answer is "yes", you probably have a congested
lymphatic system.
