Testimonial: Ned Bolcar – Chronic pain

Posted on 17 February 2020 by Ian

Ned Bolcar, former NFL linebacker for the Seattle Seahawks, has undergone light therapy treatments at HOPE Laser Institute for chronic pain issues. The results have allowed Bolcar to stay active and live with reduced pain. 

After many years of intense athletics, Ned Bolcar has experienced every kind of injury imaginable. In his early twenties he underwent surgery to remove pieces of chipped bone from his ankles. He later tore his ACL while playing for the Seattle Seahawks. 
“As I got older, chronic pain limited my ability to work out and be in shape,” said Bolcar. 

“Every time I walked out of H.O.P.E. Laser Institute after a therapy session I felt the results of it; less inflammation, less pain, more mobility,” said Bolcar.

Testimonial: Diabetes, plaque psoriasis, eczema and alopecia

Posted on 7 January 2020 by Ian

Before treatment of psoriasis and after 8 sessions in NovoTHOR podThe patient is a 40 year old young lady who was born with Turners Syndrome.  No female organs.  She has diabetes, plaque psoriasis on her whole body, eczema on her feet, alopecia on her head, and she suffers horrible migraines.  I wrote to Karen from THOR for “what to do” for her and what protocol should I use first, second, third.

I proceeded with Karen’s advice on Nov. 24th and we did our initial consultation, with 5 mins in the bed LED light only.  She takes Talz medication for psoriasis with little success.  When she came to me at Laser Wellness of Tucson, she had come from the hospital as they wanted to admit her and put her on IV steroids.  So, after her initial 5 mins and no photosensitive reaction we began three times a week in the NovoTHOR Bed 14 mins LED light only per Karen’s suggestion.  We added once a week treatments for alopecia and eczema with the LX2.3 LED cluster using the alopecia protocol. She has had 4 treatments with the LX2.3 and so far not much happening with the eczema or alopecia, but we will continue.

She has had 8 sessions in the NovoTHOR Bed 14 mins LED light only and you have the pictures to see the vast improvement.  The patient says her whole body now has zero plaque and is so smooth and not itchy at all.  She had some red spots but she is super happy so far and we are not finished yet.  She was out of town this past week and a half for holiday but we resume treatments tomorrow.  Her migraines are less frequent and getting in the bed helps make one go away. I will continue to document with pics and video.
