Nice to hear from you Steve.  Hope all is well in your world.  I’m still doing great.  Stay well!

Hello Sam,

No, laser therapy is not new.  It was approved in the US in 2003 but was in use in Europe for 30 years before that.  It is VERY well researched, thousands of scientific studies have been done.  To learn more about it go to my website:  summit-chiropactic.com     You can click on Laser therapy and also for IPF you can click on IPF la…[Read more]

I would like to let everyone know about what is happening with laser therapy for the Covid 19.  Earlier in the week I was contacted by Dr Barabas from St Thomas hospital in London.  (same hospital where Prime Minister Boris Johnson is being treated).  He asked if I would be willing to join a working group of international doctors that are/will be…[Read more]

Hi Rand,

Laser therapy is very well known to reduce inflammation and promotes healing.  We have found it very helpful for the vast majority of PF patients.  I am a Chiropractor and have been using laser therapy in my practice since the FDA approved it in 2004.  When I was diagnosed with IPF 6 years ago I started on laser therapy.  My next 2 PFT…[Read more]

Hello Kate,

Pleased to hear you are starting laser!  Sorry it’s taken so long to get to you but I am currently camped in the wilds of Wyoming.  In town now for supplies, etc.  No internet available at camp……

Usually, the protocol is simply printed without converting to a pdf.  I don’t know if you can just print but that’s what I would sug…[Read more]

Marsha,

Know that we are all THRILLED  for your progress.  You are inspirational!!!

That’s awesome Karen.  I’m curious what your O2 levels were running before starting laser therapy.  I am assuming it was fairly low considering you have been on oxygen.

Hi Joseph,

I am thrilled to hear of the positive change!  Boy, how the attitudes and acceptance of pulmonologists vary.  Some are like yours, and others are totally for laser therapy.  Go figure.  My pulmonologist totally ‘gets’ laser therapy, knows it helps, but said he would never actually refer a patient out for ‘any alternative care’ and tha…[Read more]
