Kristina Carrillo-Bucaram claims that eating a raw food diet
turned her eyes from “a very dark café brown color” to a “hazel color with
almost a honey lining around iris and they’re actually starting to turn blue.”
She posted a video that gained millions of views at this
point—as well as comments, most of which are in disbelief of Carrillo-Bucaram’s
claim.
She’s not the only one to make it, though. Steve Factor,
“The Pure Energy Chef,” has also experienced changes in eye color, according to
a blog called Conscious Nourishment. Rawsomehealthy.com’s Yulia Tarbath says
that both the puffiness around her eyes has gone away and her eyes now appear
brighter thanks to the raw food diet she’s been on since 2009. That we can
believe: clarity is one thing, color is quite another.
Carrillo-Bucaram, who was hyperglycemic as a child, “grew up
eating a very poor Latin American and Lebanese diet—I ate a lot of fat, and was
constipated my whole life,” she says in the video. Eating a low-fat raw, vegan
diet consisting of fresh fruits and vegetables with few nuts and seeds, she rid
herself of her hyperglycemia by the age of 18. But she also lost pigment in her
irises. After consulting an iridologist, she says she learned that when “we
have toxicity in our bodies, when we’re constipated and things are not moving
through our systems, we become ‘stuffed up’” and we can see that toxicity in
our eyes. “The cleaner you become, the cleaner your eyes become. I ate fully
raw and I allowed my body to cleanse itself naturally.” Gradually, throughout
her eight years of eating raw, she says her eyes have changed color.
The eyes are not only a window to your soul, they are also a
window to what’s going on inside. The color, clearness and clarity of our eyes
is a direct reflection of how clear (and clean) our body is on the inside.
Dr. Morse (N.D., D.Sc., M.H.), a detoxification specialist,
mega-healer (he has an 85% healing rate of success and has treated over 250,000
patients), and iridologist has made a series of videos on how raw diets can
actually change the color of your eyes.
Iridology is based on the scientific study of the iris (the
colored part of the eye). Like markings on a map, the iris reveals
physiological conditions, health risks, challenges and strengths of various
organs. For example, if you look at the chart below, you see that the top
quadrant of each eye is related to brain health (specifically the cerebrum and
cerebellum), and the innermost circle of the eye is related to digestion (the
stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum).
A yellowish colour around your pupil is the main indicator
of how toxic your body is, so less yellow means lower toxicity, and more yellow
means higher.
When you think about the toxins and things that you are
consuming daily, you can actually see it in your body through your eyes. When I
was younger and into my teen years I ate a lot of chips, candy, sweets, pizza,
and a hoard of other junk food. My mom always made home-cooked meals, but they
were high in fat and didn’t contain the level of health my body required. I had
major digestive issues, and became over weight at the age of 8 and well into the
age of 15.
Our health begins in the colon, and when you are consuming
foods that increase the toxic load in the body, you get “bunged up” to put it
bluntly. When things are not moving efficiently and we become constipated,
toxins build up in the colon due to improper elimination, and our eyes directly
reflect this effect.
When I switched to a raw, plant-based diet, my digestion
improved and irritable bowel syndrome symptoms went away completely. Adding in
more fiber to flush out excess toxic waste, and learning to properly combine
foods greatly helped improve the function of my GI tract. As I healed my body
with raw foods, my eyes went from a murky greenish brown color to a much
brighter blue-green hue. The whites of my eyes also significantly cleared up,
which is another major tell-tale sign of health.
Not only the color changed, but different fibers of my iris
have changed, and the freckle in my eye has completely disappeared. So I’d also
like to make note that someone who is severely overweight (or underweight) and
has blue eyes doesn’t mean that they are necessarily healthy. It’s not just
about the color, but the way the fibers are shaped. Some areas of an eye may
contain a yellowish coating which can indicate sulfuric acid levels in the body
and the level of acidity in the organs and glands. For some people, this yellow
color can cover the entire iris, which will make an eye appear brown or hazel,
when the true color underneath is green or blue.
The take home story of this article is that the cleaner you
become, the clearer your eyes become, and the better you will feel. I still
find it incredible that my eyes have actually changed color, but really, it
should come to no surprise. Your eyes are a direct reflection of your health,
and after 6 years of being raw I can say that I have reached a level I never
thought possible.
Not only are my eyes happier, but I am happier too! My eyes
will probably continue on changing (as they continually get more blue), but
until then, I will just trust in the process and allow my body to continue
detoxing out the old and blessing me with the new.

How

An iris is a form of musculature that controls the pupil
