A laser pointed at the top of her head, huh? That is a new one on me.:-)
But my chiropractor from 15 years or so back used to do some things with instruments I'd never heard of before. He had one machine that looked like a giant metal box on wheels with a plastic cone in the front that pointed to the side. He pointed the cone at my sore shoulder and had me sit reading a magazine for 10 or 20 minutes. I didn't even have to take my coat off.
I didn't feel anything, it didn't make any sound, nothing lit up, it just sat there looking like some get-up from the original Star Trek series or a bad sci-fi movie.
But after 3 treatments of that in the next week, my shoulder started to feel better.
They are able to accomplish amazing things with lasers these days. Not my area of expertise but if she said it worked ... maybe it did. :-)
My naturopath said recently that about 2 yrs for me with the type of symptoms I had, was about the average estimated time frame for recovery. I said, it's already 2 yrs, and she said, yes, but there have been times when I couldn't afford some of the supplements and couldn't afford to eat the healthy diet I needed, and that slowed things down.
And for that matter, now at 2 yrs and a few months I am definitely healthier than I've been in over 7 years, and maybe in over 10 and really believe now I will completely recover.
Many people are cynical about alternative medicine, and that was apparently on her mind when she talked with you. Many people would laugh if I told them that this condition that most doctors are stumped by might be cured by things like diet, omega3 oil, and reishi mushroom tinctures, with a little dry-skin brushing thrown in.
But their cynicism doesn't change what works.
I hope that worked for her will work for many, many other people as well. :-) And that alternative medicine continues to make inroads into the mainstream culture. There are so many sick people who would benefit.
