The Study of Iridology: Introduction to Sclerology

7/29/2013

0 Comments

 
Picture
Sclerology is defined as the science of the markings in the whites of the eyes describing conditions of health.  It is the study of those markings and colorings in and on the scleral layers as differentiated from the signs within the conjunctive, which overlie the sclera.
 
The red lines and other markings and colorings in the whites of the eyes actually correspond to real conditions within the body.  Their size and shape and various other aspects of configuration and shading describe health qualities.  Sclerology is therefore a means of looking into a person’s eyes to see what is happening with his/her health, to get a sense of what is most important, like exactly where the highest stress and congestion are located in the body, where such stress and congestion are coming from (originating cause), how much of the stress is emotional, how much physical, and how much both combined.
 
Sclerology is a way of viewing inherited tendencies to weakness, and of seeing various disease processes.  It is a means of health evaluation that is accurate, its basics relatively easy to learn (although it has its degree of complexity), has important tissue information on systemic pathology, and can therefore be valuable to the healer/practitioner.

What is Shown and what is not Shown?

The sclerae show more than just the temporary conditions of redness that we commonly see from local eye irritation (as from squinting or other improper use of the eyes, smog or cigarette smoke, from getting something caught in the eye, or even from a local eye infection).  Because it is continuous with the durra matter of the brain, the sclera is capable of showing conditions of health and disease in the body.  As it turns out, the sclera shows a wide range of these conditions.  When health is well, the sclera is a bright, crisp white color.  When we are unhealthy, the sclera color changes accordingly, and such changes remain for whatever period of time (usually years) it takes to restore health - if indeed health is restored at all.  In other words, we’re talking about chronic conditions, and we can see them coming via signs in the sclera years in advance of their appearance as symptoms.
 
The whites of the eyes show physical (purely sclera), emotional (purely conjunctiva), and combined physical and emotional/Oedipal (between sclera and conjunctiva) circumstances.  Personality characteristics are not shown in the sclera, nor are etheric, psychic, or causal data, as seen in other Eyology maps.  Name diseases, like “diabetes” and “cancer” and “arthritis” are not seen in the sclera.  Instead, the actual tissue conditions are what is seen.  Also seen is how these conditions developed, where they originated, if drugs were involved, and more, and, as noted above, usually long in advance of their appearance as symptoms.
 
The sclera proper shows physical circumstances only.  Proper is a reference to the fact that when we look at the sclera we are actually looking at two maps in one.  The sclera is overlain in its visible areas by a transparent membrane called the conjunctiva.  The conjunctiva can also have lines in it - and almost always does in the case of adults, usually fewer in children.  In fact, most of the lines we typically see in the whites of the eyes are actually conjunctiva lines, and not properly sclera lines at all.  This fact reflects the essentially emotional nature of much of our pathology.

Sclerology Around the World
 
Many countries have a long tradition of using the sclera to evaluate health.  The Chinese have used the sclera markings for at least 1000 years, quite possibly many more.  Chinese medical texts dating from 1000 BP show drawings of the sclera with some sclera signs.  The American Indians have a long history of sclera use, also.  Dr. Stuart Wheelright, a Natural Health Practitioner who used Sclerology in the 1960’s ‘70’s and ‘80’s, apparently learned his first Sclerology from Nez Perce Indians and from Dr. Sundance Hathaway, a Blackfoot Indian.  Medieval Europe knew Sclerology, as seen in drawings in medical manuals.  In view of how easy it is in principle, it is hard for one to imagine why Sclerology would not be practiced more widely, especially by Natural Health Practitioners.

Structure of the Sclera
 
The “sclera” is the white, tough visible outer coating surrounding and protecting the eyeball.  It is a strong, fibrous, opaque membrane covering 5/6ths of the eyeball.  In the front of the eye the sclera is continuous with (or in some real sense becomes) the transparent cornea, which occupies the front 1/6th of the eyeball covering.  Moving toward the back of the eye, the sclera becomes continuous with the durra matter of the brain.  The six muscles that control the movement of the eyeball attach to the sclera, the other ends of which attach to the bony orbit we call the eye socket.
Picture
Covering the underside of the eyelids, and then becoming visible and continuing in a reflected manner superficially over the visible parts of the eye (the cornea/pupil/iris and the sclera) is the conjunctiva.  The conjunctiva is a mucous membrane having essentially three different thicknesses, and therefore for our purposes we can divide it into three “separate” yet continuous parts:  (1) the palpebral conjunctiva, which covers the undersides of the eyelids, (2) the bulbar sclera conjunctiva, which covers the sclera, and (3) the bulbar corneal conjunctiva (or corneal epithelium), which covers the cornea.

H. pylori Infection

7/29/2013

0 Comments

 
Picture
H. pylori infection occurs when a type of bacteria called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infects your stomach, usually during childhood. A common cause of peptic ulcers, H. pylori infection is present in about half the people in the world.

Most people don't realize they have H. pylori infection, because they never get sick from it. If you develop signs and symptoms of a peptic ulcer, your doctor will probably test you for H. pylori infection, because it can be treated with antibiotics.

Most people with H. pylori infection will never have any signs or symptoms. It's not clear why this is, but scientists believe some people may be born with more resistance to the harmful effects of H. pylori.

When signs or symptoms do occur with H. pylori infection, they may include:

  • An ache or burning pain in your abdomen
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Frequent burping
  • Bloating
  • Weight loss

When to see a doctor
Make an appointment with your doctor if you notice any persistent signs and symptoms that worry you. Seek immediate medical help if you experience:

  • Severe or persistent abdominal pain
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Bloody or black tarry stools
  • Bloody or black vomit or vomit that looks like coffee grounds

H. pylori bacteria can be passed from person to person through direct contact with saliva, vomit or fecal matter. H. pylori can also be spread through contaminated food or water. The infection is usually acquired during childhood.
Many people contract H. pylori as children. Contracting H. pylori in adulthood is much less common. Risk factors for H. pylori infection are related to living conditions in your childhood, such as:

  • Living in crowded conditions. You have a greater risk of H. pylori infection if you live in a home with many other people.
  • Living without a reliable supply of hot water. Having a reliable hot water supply can help you keep your living area clean and reduce your risk of H. pylori.
  • Living in a developing country. People living in developing countries, where crowded and unsanitary living conditions may be more common, have a higher risk of H. pylori infection.
  • Living with someone who has an H. pylori infection. If someone you live with has H. pylori, you're more likely to also have H. pylori.

Complications associated with H. pylori infection include:

  • Ulcers. H. pylori can damage the protective lining of your stomach and small intestine. This can allow stomach acid to create an open sore (ulcer).
  • Inflammation of the stomach lining. H. pylori infection can irritate your stomach, causing inflammation (gastritis).
  • Stomach cancer. H. pylori infection is a strong risk factor for certain types of stomach cancer.

Tests and procedures used to determine whether you have an H. pylori infection include:

  • Blood test. Analysis of a blood sample may reveal evidence of an active or previous H. pylori infection in your body. A blood sample is usually collected by pricking your finger.
  • Breath test. During a breath test, you swallow a pill, liquid or pudding that contains radioactive carbon molecules. If you have an H. pylori infection, the radioactive carbon is released when the solution is broken down in your stomach. Your body absorbs the radioactive carbon and expels it when you exhale. You exhale into a bag and your doctor uses a special device to detect the radioactive carbon.
  • Stool test. A laboratory test called a stool antigen test looks for foreign proteins (antigens) associated with H. pylori infection in your stool.
  • Scope test. During an endoscopy exam, your doctor threads a long flexible tube equipped with a tiny camera (endoscope) down your throat and esophagus and into your stomach and duodenum. Using this instrument, your doctor can view any irregularities in your upper digestive tract and remove tissue samples (biopsy). These samples are analyzed for H. pylori infection.

H. pylori infections are usually treated with two varieties of antibiotics at once, to help prevent the bacteria from developing a resistance to one particular antibiotic. Your doctor also will prescribe an acid suppression drug, to help your stomach lining heal.

Your doctor may recommend that you undergo testing for H. pylori several weeks after your treatment. If the tests show the treatment was unsuccessful, you may undergo another round of treatment with a different combination of antibiotic medications.

The following are the Nature's Sunshine products we've used with our clients to help them overcome the H-pylori infection.  For the Nature's Sunshine web site go to: http://generali.mynsp.com/

  • Gastro-Heath was formulated for H-pylori - 2 per meal
  • MSM - 1 per meal to heal the stomach lining and help reduce inflammation. MSM also balances the stomach acid output.
  • Probiotic Eleven 3 per day
  • Olive leaf may be needed as an alternative to the Gastro-Health or rotate the formulas.
  • Intestinal Soothe and Build may be needed for additional help to soothe the gut lining.
  • Support Stress if needed as this may be what weakened the stomach lining.

Understanding the Importance of Renewable Energy

7/5/2013

0 Comments

 
Picture
I am happy to announce that we at Joyful Living Services are doing our part to replace our negative impact on the environment with a clean alternative, grow clean energy production, create new jobs here at home in the United States, and develop greater American energy independence.

In doing so it is also providing us with additional income.  We are looking for people who would be interested in additional income and want to help preserve the environment for future generations.

Green energy is energy that is produced so that it has less of an impact on the environment than traditional energy sources, such as the energy produced by the burning of fossil fuels. Creating energy by burning fossil fuels often has negative unwanted side effects, such as millions of tons of air pollutants spewed into the atmosphere by electric plants. Types of energies that people are generally referring to when using the term “Green Energy” are describing energy produced by wind, solar, hydro and geothermal processes.

Green energy is basically derived from renewable energy sources which produce much less of a pollution impact on our environment both in obtaining the energy source, and in using the energy source. The long term benefit to the environment has to be taken into consideration when considering why renewable energy is so important. Renewable energy sources will help to reduce the dependency on non-renewable supplies, such as fossil fuels, and this will help produce sustainable energy options for generations to come.

For more information on how you can replace your carbon footprint and bring in additional income contact:

My name is Mara Bramante. I live in Italy. I would like to thank both Brenda and Chris for all the assistance they gave me before and after receiving my SD8004 Super Digital Iridology Camera. The camera takes such clear precise pictures, and above all, it is really easy to use. I have recommended the same SD8004 to 3 Italian colleagues, and I am proud to say that they are just as satisfied as I am.
