Iridology anyone?

Posted by saw on September 28, 2004, at 8:51:10

Iridology is the study of the iris to detect disease in the body.
Has anyone had this before?
I might like to give it a go.

I was going to check out the sceptics dictionary for that one - but you included a link!

I am wondering why you would like to try it when empirically it does not stack up, and when many if not most of the specific claims that have been made regarding correlations between the iris and illness have been falsified.

Curious.

A few of my friends have had it and raved about it. I do admit that I was put out to read so much negativity about it.

Sure. I think that sometimes faith heals because it is faith that is needed. I just worry about people spending a lot of money on that when there are cheaper alternatives if only they could come to believe in them as strongly!
