Science and clinical experience have shown that low intensity lasers, LEDs and bio-electromagnetic therapy can significantly improve quality of life and alleviate pain even in many chronic conditions.

Our bodies are totally wired for energy. Every function, from digesting lunch to thinking about a big meeting tomorrow, is inextricably related to energy fields and currents in our organs, fascia and nervous system. This makes sense when you think about the trillions of cells that make up our bodies. Each of these is a bio-electric organism whose functions are based on transfer of charged molecules in its organelles and through its membranes. It has been well established in Western science for over a century that electrical activity governs most of our vital functions. This includes the electrical pacemaker that keeps the heart beating, brain waves that support consciousness and digital transmissions through our nervous system.

My first introduction to laser was in 1973 by a friend and colleague who had purchased a laser device in Austria for his clinic in the U.S. He had attended an international presentation on laser which was perhaps the first professional presentation of laser for clinicians. On his way home from the airport, he had to go right by my office, so he stopped to show off his acquisition. This was the first time I had ever seen or heard of a laser, other than the one in the movie Goldfinger that had threatened the life of James Bond. However, my friend insisted I use it in place of needles for one week in my practice and he would pick it up on his next visit.

The North American Association for Laser Therapy's (NAALT) 10th anniversary was celebrated in San Francisco, June 11-13. Jan Tuner and Lars Hode, perhaps laser therapy's most influential voices, were keynote speakers. In addition to a full roster of scientific and clinical presentations, special sessions for acupuncturists, chiropractors and dentists were organized. Presenters and participants came from Sweden, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany and the United States.

I have been an advocate for teaching non-needle electro-acupuncture skills using microcurrent for many years. My column in this publication has explored manifold aspects of this specialty. But let's set the record straight. You won't get me to give up my needles until you pry them from my dead, cold fingers!
