Here I am answering the most asked questions about Reuben Schwartz. This is, hands down, the most viewed series that I have published. Every year, I do an update on Jake Shirk (formerly Reuben Schwartz). There will not be another update, from Mountain Air Herbs, until later this year. I have collected the most asked questions and will answer them here.

Reuben Schwartz and Jake Shirk

1. Do you work for Reuben Schwartz?

No. I do not work for Jake Shirk (formerly Reuben Schwartz). I live several hours away and am simply a client.

2. Is Reuben Schwartz still working?

No. He has retired as of a couple of years ago.

3. Is Reuben Schwartz still alive?

As of the last update, he is still alive and well. Just retired.

4. Who took over Reuben Schwartz’s office?

Jake Shirk. He started working for Reuben a little over ten years ago and has taken over the business.

5. Did you meet Jake Shirk?

Yes. We met him on our second trip. He looked at some of my kids while Reuben looked at the rest of us.

Address/Days/Hours of Operation

6. What is the address of Jake Shirk?

1205 Radure Rd.
Hestand, KY 42151

7. What are the hours of operation?

*As for the 2022 update*

Office Hours: Monday and Friday 7:30-3, CST and Saturday 7:30-11 CST

8. What are the days that they are in the office?

Monday, Friday, Saturday

Scheduling

9. Can you schedule an appointment for me?

No. I cannot.

10. Can I share with them my medical history?

You can share whatever you feel you need to. I can tell you that they are not familiar with complex conditions. There is no access to phones or computers therefore there is no ability to look things up. He listens with a kind type of patience and understanding but then it comes down to what they see in your eye.

11. Can I just show up?

You can show up during business days/hours. However, they will give preference to those with appointments. If they can fit you in, they will. On the other hand, if they are busy that day, you may have to come back or schedule an appointment. If you desire to come back, you can schedule another appointment while you are there to get on the books.

12. How do I make an appointment?

There are a couple of ways to schedule an appointment. A) Write a letter to the address above and request an appointment. The days/hours are listed above and you can specify a timeframe. You will receive a letter, in return, within 7-10 business days with your scheduled appointment. B) You can roll the dice and show up.

Mountain Air Herbs

13. Can Mountain Air Herbs make my appointment?

No. They cannot schedule appointments for you.

14. If I called Mountain Air Herbs can they pass along messages to Jake Shirk?

No. They cannot pass along messages to Jake.

15. How come I can’t call the office to schedule the appointment?

Jake is Amish. They have no electricity, phones, computers, etc. Mountain Air Herbs, however is English, therefore if you bought herbs/supplements from them, you can call or go to their website. Again, they cannot answer questions, schedule, or get messages to Jake.

Communication and Cost

16. Does Jake Shirk have an email address or website?

Jake is Amish, therefore there is no website or email address.

17. How much does it cost?

Jake, himself, is free but he does have a donation box on his desk. We did give him a donation both times we were there. The herbs/supplements do cost money. I would suggest taking about $300 just to be on the safe side. That is on the higher end of what you might need depending on the amount of people that you take (we had a total of nine people). They do use glass (amber) bottles so when you go back, you can take your bottle and it refilled to save on cost. Mountain Air Herbs does not refill bottles.

18. Do they take credit cards?

Jake only takes cash. Mountain Air Herbs takes cash and credit cards.

19. Where is Mountain Air Herbs?

Mountain Air Herbs
1945 Radure Rd.
Hestand, KY 42151
270.487.1334

Office Hours: Monday and Friday 8-4, CST and Saturday 8-12, CST

What Do They Do?

20. What exactly do they do?

My personal experience is we went into his office. I told him all the things about my son (nothing about me) and he smiled. Then, I told him that he could research it on my YouTube channel and he asked “What is this YouTube you are referring to.” LOL. I forgot he was Amish for a minute. He used a little glass crucible and a penlight. From there, he got up in my personal space and looked in my son’s eye (and then mine).

He told me all the things, marked a bunch of things down on a piece of paper and I moved onto the front desk where they filled my order based on the order of importance. They did this in order to save me money. There were several things I had to go to Mountain Air Herbs to obtain. I did order a three month supply (to get me through until my next visit), so my cost was more than the average person.

2021 Update on Amish Iridologist Reuben Schwartz

2021 Update on Amish Iridologist Reuben Schwartz

I recently called Mountain Air Herbs to get updated info on my favorite Idirodolgist. So, here is the newest 2021 Update on Amish Iridologist Reuben Schwartz.

First of all, I DO NOT WORK FOR REUBEN. I was his client (well, my family and I). It has such an impact on me that I have chosen to share my experience in hopes of helping others.

I cannot speak for anyone else’s experience; this is my opinion only. I CAN NOT MAKE YOU AN APPOINTMENT. Sadly, I live about 5 hrs from Hestand. I have been able to keep up with my friends at Mountain Air Herbs to help keep everyone updated.

Mountain Air Herbs

This time, I spoke to the long-time manager Carrie Beason. She, and the owners, are a wealth of information. They have the supplements/oils that Reuben (now Jake Shirk) does not carry. If you would like to contact them, you can click here, which will lead you to their website.

They are ENGLISH and not AMISH. They work closely with the Amish because of their deep love for their Vernon community. They CAN NOT make appointments for Jake (formerly Reuben). Their hours of operation are Monday and Friday from 8-4 pm and on Saturday from 8-12, so their hours are slightly different from Jake’s (formerly Reuben Schwartz).

They take cash, checks, and credit cards. They are very good at telling you what you need from the list that Jake (formerly Reuben) provided. Also, what are duplicates, and what can you do not need.

Again, they are a wealth of information. The staff there can answer some questions, but not all the questions. They do have access to a phone because they are NOT Amish. You can get all the information by heading to their website at Mountain Air Herbs.

A HUGE thank you to Carrie Beason for answering all our burning questions 🙂

Amish Iridologist Reuben Schwartz Info

Reuben has RETIRED. Due to an eye injury (ironic, huh) and the death of his sweet wife, Reuben has officially retired. Jake Shirk has formally taken over. He has worked under Reuben for about 15 yrs (according to Carrie Beason from Mountain Air Herbs). Jake is competent and prepared to take care of all the needs you may have.

Jake’s services are still free (though donations are accepted). Also, the supplements/oils cost money, and you can buy them using several options. You can buy what you need for the moment. You can also wait and buy it until your next appointment, should you make one. Also, you can do it once a year.

Please bring your bottles back, as they can be recycled and refilled to save on the environment. Remember the paper they give you because they will reference back to that and add to it, delete from it, as needed.

Remember, they ARE AMISH. They have no access to computers, emails, phones, or electricity, for that matter. You will need to WRITE A LETTER to get an appointment. A reply letter can take anywhere from 7-10 days. You can request a better day/time for you. Otherwise, they give you the first available.

You can walk in. The staff will always give preference to those with appointments over walk-ins. They do stay busy, so keep that in mind.

There is no PHONE NUMBER for you to call. Amish. They ONLY TAKE CASH. I would, just for security, take about $300 though you may not spend anywhere near that amount. It is better to be safe than sorry.

I did spend that much because I bought a 3-month supply. Again, better safe than sorry.

Hours and Days of Operation for Amish Iridologist Jake Shirk

The NEW HOURS are

Monday and Friday 7:30-3:00

Saturday 7:30-11:00

Meeting Amish Iridologist Reuben Schwartz and Jake Shirk

I welcome any questions, but again, I do not make appointments. If you have any stories to share, positive or negative, you can leave them on any post. It is good to have a well-rounded view of holistic care, which this is.

Reuben is a good man, as is Jake. I got the pleasure of meeting him the last time I brought my children. Reuben looked at half of us, and Jake looked at the other half. Both men are very kind. Also, remember that they sell fantastic bread, fruits, produce, popcorn, quilts, and other things. You can get some stuff at the store. Otherwise, you will see them outside, ready and willing to sell you their beautiful bounty of goodies.

2020 Update on Reuben Schwartz Amish Iridologist

2020 Update on Reuben Schwartz Amish Iridologist

Well, today is a 2020 Update on Reuben Schwartz, Amish Iridologist. Since he is Amish, he has no access to the outside world. By that statement, I mean no cellphones, no landlines, no television, computers, ipads, or running water. Communication is done by mail, word of mouth, and horse/buggy.

So, I decided to call my friends at Mountain Air Herbs. I wanted to get the skinny on my Amish friend and the updates on their business. Can I say these are the friendliest humans ever? So kind and so willing to help in any matter. They are not Amish, so they do have access to a telephone.

Get the Details Out for the Amish Iridologist

Number 1: I DO NOT WORK FOR REUBEN! There is no way I can make you an appointment. I can only share with you what we learned while we saw him. Honestly, I get several emails requesting that I get someone an appointment, and I read their stories. I reply with this same statement. Also, have the opportunity to encourage and pray for those people.

Number 2 on Amish Iridologist Reuben Schwartz:

For an appointment, you MUST WRITE a letter to Reuben requesting a day/time. They will give you the next day/time available if you do not request it. This process takes about 7-10 days. There is no need to go into the details of your condition. They may not know the details of your situation. They look in your eye. I mean, my son has Opsoclonus Myoclonus Syndrome. Most doctors have never seen that in their lifetime. I am pretty sure Mr. Reuben had never heard of it.

Side note, Mountain Air Herbs cannot make appointments for Reuben either. They cannot relay messages or give any advice or consultation regarding what Reuben says.

Number 3:

He sees walk-ins. Yet, he always gives priority to those with appointments. He does try his best to see everyone. Remember, he also needs to eat and take breaks occasionally! Please be kind and respectful. Take the time you are waiting, sit on the beautiful porch, and enjoy the silence and peace. Seriously, go pet a horse, look around his shop and buy some popcorn or bread!

EDITED TO ADD: I saw Jake about two weeks ago as Mr. Reuben has had eye surgery and is not working. I was blown away by the things he told me. Please, make an appointment. I did not have one the day I went and waited for 5 hours to see Jake. ~ From Michelle Shoemake(r)

Number 4:

Money. Reuben does not charge for his assessment, though he does take donations. He has a box on his desk where you can place cash or change. His herbs/pills/supplements do cost money. That amount varies based on what you buy and how much of it you buy. You do not have to get everything he recommends. Ask. He will tell you which is the most important. Also, he will tell you what you can hold off on until the next visit.

Mountain Air Herbs is down the hill from Reuben. What he does not have, they will have. There are some limited supplies due to their suppliers and Co-vid19. They take cash, card, and checks. They also have a phone and a restroom if you need it.

BREAKING NEWS!

Mr. Reuben is RETIRING at the end of 2020. It is time for him to hang up his crucible and flashlight and enjoy his porch. I am very excited for him. He has given up a lot of himself, and it is time for him to relax. Rest assured, his business will stay open. His replacement will be Jake Shirk. He has been helping Reuben for about 16 years or so. He knows what he is doing and was trained by the best.

New Update *12.18.20*

This message is from a follower, Doris R. Today, I went to Reuben Schwartz’s place. Today was supposed to be his last day. In October, he got metal in his eye while working at home. He went to the hospital at that time. It is my understanding that he has not returned to his office since. So now, they said he was officially retired. Reuben’s replacement is Jake Shirk. His hours will be the same. He is already back up until March of 2021. That is the update as of 12-18-2020.
