Rupert Molloy - The Photobiomodulation Studio“I look forward to attending the training day, because I always find the day inspirational. James Carroll gives an excellent presentation in understanding the importance of dose and why THOR are leaders in the field of PBM. Also, I enjoy meeting the other delegates who are usually new to photobiomodulation.”

Testimonial: Dr Michele Browne

North Nowra Medical Practice“I’ve been treating a 23 yo man who has had recurrent spontaneous episodes of ‘compartment syndrome’ (with confirmed high level pressure tests) since the age of 12. He had had 2x release surgeries in the past, but due to long term nerve damage, his surgeon was unwilling to do further surgery when his bilat calf pain recurred in the past year. The surgeon recommended trying THOR Treatment. I didn’t have a protocol as such, but used the one for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome of the Lower legs.

I’m delighted to say that he has made a huge improvement in symptoms and is able to continue with work and recreational activities with only low grade pain intermittently.”

Testimonial: Michele Abernathy, RDA

Michele Abernathy, RDA“My husband has used lasers in his dental office for decades to performs endodontics and surgeries. Our initial unit was the size of a small filing cabinet and sounded like an airplane engine. The benefits we witnessed made all that worthwhile. A year ago he attended a THOR course in Orlando, Florida and came home enthusiastic over the multiple uses beyond dental applications. I then attended a course with him in Phoenix, AZ and caught his enthusiasm.

We are in a rural area where new ideas are usually met with skepticism. THOR has a large and positive internet presence which helps us explain and promote our THOR laser. The support at THOR is exceptional with timely replies and assistance in researching protocols. When a new patient comes and experiences the healing of THOR laser I often hear “will it also treat ‘this’?” so I research it and am pleased when “yes” is the answer. We’re attending another course soon just to keep up with the THOR research.”

Low-level laser therapy for preventing or treating oral mucositis caused by radiotherapy or chemotherapy

National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)
RESULT: After three presentations and much correspondence over a 5 year period we have a recommendation guideline from the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) — LLLT for preventing or treating oral mucositis caused by radiotherapy or chemotherapy. This means the NHS can start using our treatment on cancer patients to reduce some of the painful side effects of cancer treatments.

Course Testimonial: John Cline MD

John Cline MD“This is the second time I have attended the PBMT training course as I brought my new Licensed Practical Nurse so she could get the training. I was impressed by all the new and current research material that James Carroll presented. He presented well, with lots of humor and made himself available to answer questions. This time he gave the demonstration on how to use the LX2 unit properly – which was much appreciated.

It is an excellent, well thought-out course and the lunch provided was great with a number of gluten-free choices. Having lunch on-site allowed for more time in discussion with other attendees and staff. Since the training, we have increasingly used the PBMT in the Integrative/Functional Medicine practice. There is no shortage of suffering people who do benefit greatly from the THOR LX2 PBMT technology.”
