what you always wanted to know about

SCLEROLOGY

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Most men spend their entire lives and do not achieve a fraction of what the author
can list as his accomplishments, in his first 20 years since leaving college.
Kurt W. Donsbach, Ph.D., D.Sc., N.D., D.C. was born December 1, 1935 in
Kalispell, Montana and was raised on a ranch 12 miles west of Whitefish, Montana. It
was on that ranch that he had a chance to start the development of his keen sense of
nature and natural healing--in a way that only comes from truly living with what
nature can produce.
A prolific student of nutrition and natural healing in college, Dr. Donsbach hungered
for the opportunity of more sophisticated research and experimentation not available
in a large country practice, so he accepted a position with the world reknown Dr.
Royal Lee of the Lee Foundation of Nutritional Research in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in
1961. The Lee Foundation, famous the world over for its findings on national
malnutrition and its effects on health, provided the ideal opportunity for additional
specialized studies, enabling Dr. Donsbach to develop and test his theories and thus
substantiate his recommendations for preventive organic medicine.
After a long and personal relationship with Dr. Lee, the author moved to Southern
California to establish his own health food store and began Westpro Labs., Inc. and
with his lovely wife Elyse, developed the company into a national supplier of special
and unique food supplement formulations.
At WESTPRO, Dr. Donsbach at last had the laboratory he always wanted to continue
his research and study of preventive organic medicine. He and his products gained
national recognition due to Dr. Donsbach being such a strong advocate of extremely
high standards for nutritionally sound formulations.
Long a respected author on organic medicine and natural healing, Dr. Donsbach has
written several books including "Preventive Organic Medicine" as well as hundreds of
papers and articles for journals and magazines, plus several courses in nutrition.
Since 1964 Dr. Donsbach has been honored by serving on the Board of Governors of
the National Health Federation, first as its Secretary-Treasurer, then its Vice-President
and now as Chairman of the Board.
Others might be content to rest on their laurels with all this success, but in 1973 Dr.
Donsbach sold Westpro Labs and later enrolled in a Ph.D. program in Nutrition from
Union University of Los Angeles. At that point he decided that bringing a better
understanding to the public on nutrition and natural healing is where he should be
devoting his energies. He then with other doctors interested in this same philosophy
established THE INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE of NATURAL HEALTH
SCIENCES, Inc. (see back cover). He is President and Dean of Faculty of Donsbach
University, an external degree program in Nutrition--the first such program ever to be
offered.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The information presented in this booklet would not
have been available if it were not for the generous
contribution of my long time friend and colleague, Dory
Detton, N.D. who furnished much counsel and advice.
Dr. Detton, who has had quite a colorful career-including a title as a world champion wrestler (before
television took that sport over) and an insatiable thirst
for knowledge, now lives in semi-retirement in Ouray,
Colorado, but still teaches seminars in nutrition and
other health related topics in various areas. Years ago,
his was a familiar figure around the countryside of Utah
and Idaho where he made personal calls on farmers and
ranchers, teaching them the use of food supplements,
diet, and herbs to protect their health.

SCLEROLOGY
The examination of the sclera or white of the eye and the interpretation of the lines
or blood vessels seen there is an ancient art passed on from one healer to the other.
Although there has been much inferred about the lack of scientific background of this
art, you might talk to your local veterinarian and see if the white of the eye of his
patient does not tell him much about the condition present in his mute supplicant.
Much also has been said about acupuncture and its lack of science, but the individual
who observes major surgery accomplished without the use of anesthetics often
becomes a believer without the benefit of science.
So it is with sclerology. I have observed individuals proficient in this form of
correlation of body malfunction with visible signs in the sclera of the eye enough
times to convince myself beyond a shadow of doubt that it is valid. But since I like to
know the reason why, I spent some time with my anatomy and physiology books to
try and find a correlation between the sclera and the indications of malfunction it
presented. I finally found that the tissues of the sclera are continuous with the dura
mater of the brain via the fibrous sheath of the optic nerve. This to me was an
adequate link to give a physiological and anatomical reason for the relationship.

REAL LIFE TEST

Let me tell you of a real life test that occurred not too long ago regarding sclerology.
A personal friend who is in the entertainment industry and quite well known had me
'read' the sclera of his eyes. He was overwhelmed with the accuracy of the description
of his physical well being. On telling this to an attorney friend, he was challenged.
The attorney friend said that he had just undergone over $1,000 worth of examination
and diagnostic procedures which were necessitated by a problem which seemed to be
difficult to trace. However, after the testing, the doctors were able to pinpoint the
cause of his discomfort. Would I consent to 'read' his sclera and see if I could find the
same things that the elaborate tests had found.
It took about two minutes to examine the sclera of both eyes and I told him that it
appeared that there was a kidney malfunction and a lower bowel problem, but that the
kidney seemed to be the more serious of the two. He was flabbergasted--the tests had
indicated he suffered from a rather rare kidney malady and had diverticulosis of the
bowel. At this point I wish to emphasize that sclerology is not an exact science, but it
is a quick easy method of determining where a potential problem is within our body.
It does not name a disorder--only that a malfunction exists in an area or gland.

SCLEROLOGY IS NOT IRIDOLOGY

Under no circumstances should sclerology be confused with iridology, the art of
interpreting the changes within the iris or colored portion of the eye. This practice
takes much study and is tedious work for an accurate evaluation. Sclerology is
comparatively simple and superficial in its application. A doctor can use it as a guide

to perform additional detailed examination procedures, eliminating those which do

not have to be done.
Dr. Clarence Patrick (Sundance) Hathaway, a half-Apache, half-Irish medicine man
is the source of the charts found in this booklet. Dr. Dory Detton spent eight years
working with this secretive old medicine man who was considered a miracle healer by
Indian and white man alike. His medicines were herbs and unprocessed foods and his
diagnostic instruments were confined to a penlite to assist him in examining the sclera
of the eye.
In examining the sclera of the eyes, remember that the sclera which is on your right is
the left sclera of the individual you are examining, and vice versa. The lines in the
right sclera are indicative of conditions on the same side of the body, hand, foot and
head with the exception of the brain area. There is a crossover of the areas of the head
above the supra-orbital ridge, the right eye sclera then shows the left brain problems
and the left eye sclera demonstrates right brain problems.

TECHNIQUE
In reading or examining the sclera, use the iris (colored portion of eye) as a guide
like the face of a clock and examine in a clock-wise direction. You will soon learn to
visualize the charts presented herein and if you always examine in the same pattern,
the visualization and interpretation will be easier. You will find that the use of a light
and a low power magnifying glass will make your examination easier. Some
combination instruments are available for this purpose at a reasonable cost.

RIGHT EYE SCLERA

(Looking Up)
Begin by gently pulling downward on the right lower eyelid and instructing the
individual to look straight upward. Examine the areas listed below; if a line is present,
it is indicative of a stressed condition in the corresponding area. Remember, it's like
looking at a watch with only an hour hand.

Sciatic nerve problem in right leg

Prostate or Vagina (usually indicates hardening
or dryness)
Right kidney or adrenal involvement
Pancreas problem
Ovaries or Testes
Liver or gall bladder congestion

By examining the chart on the opposite page, you will find that the above are those
lines nearest the iris of the eye. There are often other lines which are in the lower
portion of the sclera and usually do not run close to the iris.
5:30
Small intestine
6:00
Transverse colon
6:30
Ascending colon

This may indicate milk intolerance, impaired

absorption of nutrients because of plugged up
villi, rapid peristalsis, etc.
Both of these colon indications are often a sign
of constipation, colitis, diverticulitis, or an
atonic, congested bowel.

Most of the time this will be indicative of a
low functioning thyroid.
This line is not often seen, but should be
heeded when evident.
