THE Cambridge Connection Ep 66

In The Cambridge Connection

WE STUDY EVERY OTHER PART OF THE BODY FOR MEDICAL CLUES, SO WHY NOT THE IRIS?

If you never heard of Iridology don’t worry, neither had Gordon or Tinamarie. It appears (pardon the pun) that Iridology is a gentle, non-invasive way of identifying inherited strengths and weaknesses in a person’s body. We’ve all heard the proverb that our eyes are the window to our soul, well maybe that’s not so farfetched. Guest Sunshine Beesom is an Iridologist who is certified in the field of Iridology and is able, so we are told, to discover underlying physical and emotional issues, predispositions and hereditary aspects based on the Iris (the color part) of the eye.
