The Role of the Medical Iridology Practitioner
The primary role of the medical iridologist is that of educator, so that you are empowered in reaching and maintaining your health goals. I do not diagnose or treat disease.

With long-standing chronic conditions, the emphasis may be on how best to manage your condition by supporting your body through nutrition and lifestyle changes with herbal support when needed.

Side Effects, Toxicity, and Herb-Drug Interactions
All the herbs we use are non-addictive, can be traced to source, and have a long history of safe use. The organs that are most vulnerable to any potent substances are the liver and kidneys, and it is important for you to divulge any previous history of disease in either of these organs so that we can provide you with information suitable to your circumstances. Herbs also should not be used in pregnancy or lactation without expert advice. If you become pregnant you should stop taking herbs until advice is received either from us or another knowledgeable professional.
There are known herb/drug contra-indications. It is your responsibility to disclose any medications, herbs and supplements you are currently taking, so that you can be offered informed advice. It is also recommended that you inform your doctor of all herbal and nutritional supplements you are taking. Any suggestion that the effect of a drug is being altered by simultaneous use of an herb should be reported directly to all health professionals involved. It is also advisable to stop taking herbs at least 48 hours before a surgical operation, and in the event of being prescribed anticoagulants, antiepileptic drugs, and digoxin.
