This week we chat to Francois Eales, 47, about his job as an Ethnomedicine Practitioner.
In simple terms, what is the official name of the service do you provide?
My main service is to identify root causes of my patient’s ailments. Once identified, I can employ various natural remedies to correct and heal the condition. I use Iridology as my main way to determine the origin of health problems as well as get as more info regarding diet, lifestyle, family health history etc.
How did you get started in this line of work?
My father is a homeopath; I worked with him for many years. I realized I had a natural affinity to work out customer’s health concerns by asking questions and doing research to help them. The pharmacy that I worked for invested a lot of time and money sending me to training for basically every natural health course available at the time. From there I continued studying in order to qualify for a license to practice.
How do you determine the various diagnosis?
I use Iridology and ask many questions to determine my patient’s problems. Also with many years of experience I can tell quite a lot by just looking at my patient’s pallor, voice strength, and skin condition.
What is the difference between what you do and the traditional means of diagnosis?
Our approach as natural medicine practitioners is not just dealing with symptomatic relief but getting to the root of the problem that manifests various symptoms.
What treatments do you offer?
My treatments involve a cellular detox. I use vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, and homeopathic remedies, medicinal and therapeutic mushrooms. I basically treat anything that can be healed or at least partially healed if I use the correct natural medication.
What qualifications or experience should one have to be able to do what you do?
In my case I had a passion for all things natural to begin with. In order to practice natural meds you need to first doo a basic or advanced anatomy and physiology course, then get a diploma for at least one of the main treatments you’ll be using. Also then to decide your main method of diagnosing, there are many machines available, reflexology, bio res, or in my case iridology.
What kind of illnesses are you able to pick up through your analysis? What illnesses are you unable to detect?
Iridology reflects structural damage from accidents, wear and tear, toxic accumulations in various organs, mineral imbalances, anemia and muscular issues. Basically anything that comes in contact with a nerve in the body will reflect in the iris. However these toxins or damaged organs can lead to a wide variety of health problems. So I sometimes can’t label a specific symptom that a patient has, like Bipolar disorder or depression, but often when I see disruptions in brain tissue I know there should be some sort of problem in that area.
When someone reaches out to you, what do you offer them? (Step by Step)
My wife books the patient, if they first want to know if I can treat a specific problem, I’ll chat to them before booking. I then do the iridology examination, followed up by my recommended treatment protocol. Sometimes if it’s something simple I can just give advice and/ or refer the patient s to a health shop, chiropractor etc.
The best way to reach me is by calling my wife, Lillian 0727693312 or 0826957642.
