You are absolutely right. It’s certainly not quackery, unless of course you wish to argue that NASA is producing and using quackery. Just as our skin needs the energy contained in the packets of light (which Einstein referred to as photons) in order to produce Vitamin D, the metabolic cytochrome “cytochrome C-oxidase” is a photon acceptor molecule (similar to chlorophyll in plants but accepts a different wavelength/energy level/color of light). It also happens to be the 3rd enzyme of the electron transport chain which is used by our cells as a means photo-chemotransduction (the scientific word used in biology for transferring energy from light to chemical form).

The acceptance of the photon energy sets in “motion” the production of ATP, as if the normal cellular respiration cycle was operating. ATP is the energy “money” of every living cell we know of on earth.

These are all relatively basic concepts and constructions that any 2nd year Biology major and their textbooks would know. I am aware that you know this information, however I put it here for John to look into.

As I now tell my students, “Yes, I could be wrong, there’s always that chance. But if I am, I am in VERY good company with the foremost scientific researchers of today, including the folks at NASA.” Something I’ve added since I had you in class!

The clinical results I’ve seen in my practice, coupled with the fact that there are over 1500 peer-reviewed studies showing the benefits of low level laser therapy from a breadth of disciplines including not only chiropractic, but also physical therapy, dermatology and plastic surgery have lead me to believe that it’s not quackery.

That’s my opinion, and I may be right.

People who suffers from chronic pain should check out this book, Forever Free From Chronic Pain, written for the chronic pain sufferer, describes in easy to understand language the research that led to the discovery of a previously unknown cause of chronic muscle and joint pain.

The book also explains the therapy developed to eliminate chronic muscle and joint pain permanently without the use of drugs or surgery. The doctor who made this ground breaking discovery and developed this innovative treatment, Prof/Dr Brian Rothbart, suffered from chronic pain himself for 10 years. It was his own pain and that of his patients that drove him to find a solution that has allowed himself and thousands of others get their life back.

If you are a pain sufferer, I encourage you to also join the group, Citizens for World Free From Chronic Pain: http://tinyurl.com/CWFCPgroup

I’m also a chiropractor, here in Manhattan NYC, practicing integrated care with the drx9000 and getting great results!

Keep spreading the word.

Thanks for your comment. In my experience, that pain you are describing would be made worse by distress. The distinction to draw is that even though the stress may be due to progress toward an intention or goal, if it’s because you are focused on what you DON’T want (ie: I don’t want to fail this test. or I don’t want to get sick because I have a big presentation tomorrow.) it’s actually distress.

With practice, you’ll start to tell the difference. I work on it nearly every day.

I hope this helps!

Good point. As far as your birthday goes being in April, it’s also Grilled Cheese Month and Poetry Month. Does that help?
