“I found the course an excellent introduction to photobiomodulation therapy. James Carroll and his brilliant team presented the lectures and ran the hands on session in an excellent manner which saw everyone wanting more information. A fantastic training course.
The support following the course has been excellent and I am using my THOR Laser machine more and more each day. I would highly recommend not just the course but investing in the lasers. You do get one of the most brilliant minds .. James helping you navigate the exciting world of pain and healing therapy without drugs.”

Recently, I was honored to be invited by Dr. Robert Boege, Executive Director of ASTRA to join ASTRA’s Futurist Dr. Ronnie Lowenstein, and serve as a NetGeneration of Youth Cyberjournalist covering a Congressional Briefing held in the Rayburn House Office Building on October 11, 2018 entitled, “Ending Opioid Use: A New Hope”. The event was co-sponsored by ASTRA, The World Association for Laser Therapy, NetGeneration of Youth, The Optical Society of America, and thirteen other science and medical organizations. What an opportunity to learn about PBM, “photobiomodulation,” an innovative medical technology, as well as, to be exposed to the organizational stakeholders who advocate for support of America’s ‘science and technology innovation ecosystem.’
What is PBM and What does it Promise?
When I first heard the term photobiomodulation (PBM) I was confused—initially the word sounded like a lighting technique for theater productions. Then as I started researching, it seemed more like a tool for physics experiments involving light. Only when I attended the Congressional Briefing and heard the first-hand testimony of people who miraculously benefited from using this medical technology did I begin to grasp its far-reaching implications for both revolutionizing health care and for serving as an alternative solution to the prescription opioid crisis.

Garrett Poole, Black Belt martial artist and owner of Extreme Martial Arts in New Braunfels came to Texas Laser Therapy looking for help with 3 nagging injuries that wouldn’t heal. He has healed and now is seeing impressive Sports Performance & Recovery benefits from daily use of the NovoTHOR Whole Body Light Pod at Texas Laser Therapy in New Braunfels, TX.

Those suffering from America’s opioid crisis recently received two major messages of hope.
On Oct. 24, President Donald Trump signed the Opioid Crisis Response Act (OCRA) into law. Dozens of bills designed to address the diverse aspects of the opioid crisis were consolidated into one strategic and integrated approach.
OCRA received overwhelming bi-partisan support in both Chambers.
HR6, which is now Public Law 115-2716, broke new ground in being the first legislation to mandate aggressive development and adoption of alternative pain treatments that include “innovative medical technologies for pain management.”
On Oct. 11, Congress held its first ever briefing on ending opioid use through “innovative medical technologies for pain management.”
Photobiomodulation (PBM) was the featured technology.
