1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing read., August 28, 2000

By	Thaddeus Jacobs (Santa Barbara, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book truly is a disappointment. Way too oversimplified and overpriced for what you get. Other simple introductory texts by Bernanrd Jensen do a much better job at laying out iridology basics. I can't believe I actually just wrote that considering the lack of up-to-date European research NOT represented in the work of the late Dr. Jensen. Figures are low resolution hand drawings. Color plates of cases at the end of the book give no commentary whatsoever. Bamer is also unclear in describing certain iris configurations and should have included more detailed slides to help clarify his presentation. Also, the herbal and nutritional treatments are much too generalized to possibly be suitable for each and every person presenting with a given configuration (herbal medicine simply isn't practiced that way by traditional standards). Anyway, the only thing this book has going for it is a very brief introduction to sclerologic diagnosis -which is a relatively neglected science until recently. With about 30 large-font 5 1/2" x 8" pages devoted to this subject- including poor resolution hand drawn pictures- Bamer may have just as well omitted the subject from the book altogether. My suggestion: don't waste your money on this book. Instead, buy Jensen's much less expensive intro to iridology, Visions of Health or better yet, contact the National Iridology Research Association regarding iridology seminars. They're a great resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars superb, holistic and comprehensive, easy to follow book!., April 7, 2000

By	eyal - newman (tel-aviv, israel) - See all my reviews

this book is showing and teaching not only the arts of iridology and sclerology, but also explain the healing relationship with all the other major organs, and those that you can diagnose through these healing arts. i personaly learned a lot from the sections in the book that showed the healing recommandations of herbs,and vitamins, and some case histories that followed by colorful photos. you dont have to be an iridologist to understand this book, because is writen in a very simple way,yet a fulfiling one.as a orthomolecular-nutritionist that using many kinds of diagnosis,i can honestly say that i learned a lot from this book, and i highly recommand it to everyone who is seeking for natural health with the help of this truly amazing book.
