Ann and I have been going to the the RAYS of HOPE Rejuvenation Center located at 113 S. US Hwy 441, in Lady Lake, FL, since they opened in 2015 to use their NovoTHOR whole-body light pod (semi-enclosed bed) that emits red and near-infrared light to receive what is called Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) technology which use to be called low level light therapy (LLLT). Had to copy that technical stuff from their web page, I like the term light therapy.

Since Ann and I have been using this light therapy several times a week we have both had more energy and feel like getting out more and doing more fun activities than we did before using light therapy.

Ann who has lots of body pain issues with Fibromyalgia being the main pain generator was not able to get out of the house much prior to her using light therapy and now she is able to get out of the house several hours a day and we both feel her new found energy is from using light therapy.

Using light therapy sounds like science fiction or some sort of gimmick but it is working for both Ann and Me and as long as it works we are happy to use it to keep us happy.

Our two visits a week are fast and easy, I receive eight minutes while Ann who has more pain issues than I do takes in twelve minutes of light therapy.

We make an appointment, arrive, go into a booth, remove our clothing, go into the secure light therapy area, push the blue button on the therapy pod, the pod comes on emitting those red and near-infrared light lights, climb into the pod, pull the lid down over us, does not completely close so if you are claustrophobic like me you do not have to worry about being closed inside the pod.

Close your eyes and let the light do the work for you and once the light goes off, push the lid up, go back into your booth, get dressed and head out for the rest of your day.

We enjoy the treatments and continue to have more energy as well as less pain in various areas of our bodies and have continued to use this new and improved light therapy so we can keep our energy flowing and constant.

I have heard some folks who get the light therapy treatments do not notice any changes in their medical issues, body aches or other issues, while other folks get immediate relief and only do as many sessions as it takes to resolve their issues and do not continue the light therapy.

Ann and I have had such good success with the light therapy treatments we continue to go several times a week just to make sure our bodies are getting all the therapy needed to ensure we keep our energy levels up, everyone is different when it comes to therapy and what works for one may not work for the others.

I feel that we all have to do what works for US when it comes to our health and when you find something that works for you, use it until it no longer works for you.

“I’ve had the THOR Laser system for the last 3-4 yrs now. I’ve switched from another unit and what a difference. I have a story about gentleman who is a paraplegic due to a bone spur cutting into the spinal cord. He had developed a bed sore over the sacrum, I treated the wound and we saw quick results (3 tx/week for 3 months). On the 3rd month he told me he feel asleep in his power chair with a cup of hot chocolate in his hands. The hot chocolate spilt over his lap, and he woke up to the heat. It shocked him at first because its been a while since he’s felt any kind of warmth below his waist.

I had been treating the wound but what I didn’t realise was that I was of course also treating his spinal cord injury which is why his ability to feel below the waist had returned. What a bonus! I believed in this laser system before but seeing results like this just makes it concrete.”

“I’m getting a lot out of my Thor Laser device. I’m using only 1/3 of the eye drops I was using before for my dry eye. It got infected 25 years ago after a contact lens jammed in my eye. I also had pain walking and when stretching arch of foot but I can now walk comfortably again, and I’ve been using it to stimulate my lymph nodes to get over a cold. Great stuff!”

“I found the recent Thor laser seminar very informative. It was good to talk to other people with a Thor laser, there is much to learn all the time when using it for all types of injuries. I use Thor Laser with remedial therapies and good nutritional advice with my patients. The 3 treatments all complement each other with client success rate increasing every month.”

Please see some of the treatments I have administered since I purchased the Thor Laser

• Osteoarthritis of the joints of the hand: I have had much success using this treatment as followed in the protocols. I have treated 6 people for this very painful condition, most commented after the first treatment of less pain, and after treatment number 2 a significant decrease in swelling and pain. All follow up treatments achieved significant improvement, to the point of the patient having full use of the hands with no pain and the ability to lead a normal life. This is very encouraging when some of them have been suffering for 10 years or more.
•  Sciatica: Some of the 5 patients I have treated for Sciatica have limped in and walked out, on one occasion a patient limped in and when after the treatment he said he had left his wallet in the car, he then ran out of my clinic and appeared back within minutes. I advised him that he should not be running and that he should take it easy, he said that he felt no pain and ran without thinking.
  I have found a good result is at the end of a Sciatica treatment I trace the sciatic nerve slowly from the heel to the sacrum lumbar region with the 1W laser Cluster 2.5Hz, taking approximately 4 minutes. Using remedial therapies in combination with the laser seems to enable the patient to achieve more range of movement and a faster healing time.
• Frozen Shoulder: Best results are when the treatments commence within the first few months of the patient being diagnosed, if left too long adhesive capsules can form and restrict a progressive return to full range of movement.
  I use remedial therapies combined with the laser to achieve a progressive result.
• Back and Neck pain: These two common conditions are the most prevalent treatment that I perform every day. I have found that by releasing the muscles associated with the affected area, then using the laser protocols seems to have encouraging results. With some of my patients, that have suffered for many years are now pain free.
  At the end of a treatment I have the patient go through a range of motion test to indicate where continuing pain is present. If pain is still present I use the 1W laser cluster at 2.5Hz in areas still affected by pain.

The protocols are very comprehensive and are easy to follow. I am very impressed.

Hello James and Mark,
Happy New Year!

Thank you for the training course last September. As you know, I had been studying the possibility of this treatment modality for some time but had not encountered Thor Photomedicine.

I was very encouraged when I happened upon your promotional notices and began to examine the biological and clinical foundation of your products. The course fulfilled expectations and the opportunity to have hands on time with the equipment was inspiring. I have always made it a priority to purchase quality equipment for my dental practice and it was immediately apparent that the Thor System was intelligently designed, extremely well constructed and robust for regular clinical use.

I am extremely pleased with the 5 Probe Thor Laser System purchased last September and my initial confidence in the product has been amply rewarded.

The capacity for clinicians to treat their patients at a cellular level will vastly expand the frontier of Preventive Dentistry. It is, of course, early days but my initial clinical results point to the successful application of this technology in the treatment of the following –

• TMJ Dysfunction, Myo-Facial pain, Neck pain
• Maintenance of pulp vitality subsequent to dentinal remineralisation procedures
• Periodontal disease subsequent to non-surgical procedures
• Facilitation of the healing of extraction sockets
• Dramatic reduction of dentinal hypersensitivity
• Recurrence of pain in vital teeth that had previously received restorative treatment for deep fractures. Following the use of both intra-oral probes the teeth rapidly returned to normal.
• Trigeminal Neuralgia
• Paresthesia of the lower left lip region (sensory innervation from Mental Nerve); The area had been completely numb for 18 months and after 4 treatments briefly “woke up for a couple of days”. The patient said the feeling was extremely annoying and he almost felt like pulling the lip off. The paresthesia returned and we have done 2 more treatments but illness has prevented him from returning. I feel that he has a good prospect for the resolution of this condition. He had left parotid gland surgery with X-RAY Therapy about 20 years ago and, interestingly, the skin on the side of his face, which was hardened with very dense scars became supple and displayed a normal texture.

As for non-dental applications-
My eldest son’s hand injury has progressed very well after excellent surgery and I have confidence that PBMT will effectively deal with the dense scar tissue that runs through the middle of the the rescued index finger nail bed. I commenced Thor treatment as soon as I had the machine, and we have averaged about twice weekly. I will send photos.

I have been treating my wife’s knee injury (pain approximately 10 years, she did not want to have surgery); she can now sleep without NSAIDs and has resumed aerobic training.

My elbow problem no longer impedes heavy weight training, the joint feels stable and pain is now only occasional and minimal.

I am regularly applying the 69 array probe to adult family members for stem cell stimulation, urticaria, cuts, bruises etc. etc.
It really is a revelation and the sense that one can make a substantial contribution to the health and healing of others is both compelling and serene.

Warm Regards,

“This is the first time I am writing about my THOR laser.

I woke one morning with a pain in my left arm (mostly my left bicep) and thought I just slept on it wrong. A friend thought it might be a sign of an impending heart attack, so I hurried to the doctor. Turns out it was bursitis (an inflammation of the bursa sac of the shoulder) and the doctor gave me a bunch of pain-killers and told me to expect it to last for two to three weeks, if not longer. If it didn’t get better during that time, the doctor suggested I might want to get a cortisone shot.

Once I knew the spot from which the pain was emanating, I put the laser on it in anti-inflammation mode and did several treatments. In 2 days there was noticeable improvement and in three days I had stopped taking my pain pills. I am now six days out from my diagnosis, arm feels great, and just for fun I counted out the number of pills I have left in the bottle. I have 45 pain pills, or enough for 15 more days of pain, but I don’t need them.

The Thor Laser is AMAZING!”
