Star Wars Technology In The Healing Professions

May 26, 2007

Among the basic rules in nature is that “light is the source of life”. Every living cell emits photons of light energy. The word laser is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A laser instrument produces a very thin beam highly concentrated light energy.

Cutting lasers are currently in use for eye surgery and for delicate repairs of the heart and prostate gland. Low level lasers or ‘soft’ lasers have been used by doctors in Europe for over fifty years and, in the United States, by veterinarians for over a decade. Now low level lasers are being employed by chiropractors, dentists and some massage therapists.

Benefits that can be expected of laser treatment include: Reduction of pain, Diminishing of inflammation, swelling, redness and heat, Lymphatic drainage, Increased blood circulation, Stimulation of healing enzymes, Release of spasm in tight muscles, Accelerated bone repair, the cancelling wave effect on viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. Laser light restores health to ailing cells. In my practice, the Q 1000 model, with its multiple programs and broad energy range, has yielded dramatic results healing and eliminating pain in minutes.

Joanne has studied healing modalities from many cultures. Her massage combines Shiatsu, Swedish, Polarity, Reflexology, Myofascial Release and Aromatherapy. She is a Reiki master and CranioSacral practitioner and is now offering Low Level Laser Therapy for safe and speedy pain relief. In practice since 1972, she has been an ABMP member since 1995.

Colorado Wildlands in Danger - You Can Help

May 12, 2007

The Bush administration wants to sacrifice more than one million acres of outstanding wildlife habitat and archeological sites in northwest Colorado to destructive oil and gas drilling and off-road vehicle use. We need your immediate action to block this proposal, which would cause irreparable damage to fragile wildlands including the world-renowned Vermillion Basin, home to one of the most spectacular collections of ancient petroglyphs in the country. People from all over the world seek out the Vermillion Basin and nearby Little Snake wildlands for outdoor recreation, wildlife-viewing and its natural beauty. The Little Snake area provides habitat for elk, pronghorn, mule deer, coyotes and white-tailed prairie dogs. The waters of this region sustain the endangered Colorado River Pikeminnow and the Colorado River cutthroat trout. Greater sage grouse, golden eagles and peregrine falcons also take refuge there.

Please go to http://www.savebiogems.org/yellowstone/takeaction
and tell the Bush administration to protect our natural and cultural heritage by banning harmful drilling and off-road vehicle use in the Vermillion Basin and all other wilderness-quality lands in this region.

Thank you for helping to protect the natural and cultural values of our last western wildlands.

Sincerely,

Frances Beinecke
President
Natural Resources Defense Council
