RE: Re: cold laser (apologies)

[Guest guest]

No harm, no foul, buddy. I did know that these hand held lazers are for

sale and have a brochure on them. I've also visited their website. When I

was newly post-op, the Chiropractor (Dr Philip Dinn), was careful about

where he " aimed " the thing. He probably still is. In his kenesiology

technique, he checks muscles strength -- and then check different points on

my body which seem to strengthen them. And uses the lazer at these points.

I always have sworn that I don't " believe " in kenesiology -- except that it

works! Joyce (Dr Gross, LHR, 2/2/04)
