ACUPUNCTURE &HN CANCER

ScienceDaily (Jun. 5, 2008) — New data from a randomized, controlled trial found that acupuncture provided significant reductions in pain, dysfunction, and dry mouth in head and neck cancer patients after neck dissection. The study was led by David Pfister, MD, Chief of the Head and Neck Medical Oncology Service, and Barrie Cassileth, PhD, Chief of the Integrative Medicine Service, at Memorial Slo an-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). Dr. Pfister presented the findings May 30 at the annual meeting of the American Society for Clinical Oncology.(as reported by ScienceDaily to my desk)
My personal experience with surgery,radiotherapy,chemotherapy and PDT showed effectiveness of acupuncture (electro-acupuncture and laser-acupuncture) to control side effects and adverse events of cancer treatments.

INSTRUMENTS FOR LASER ACUPUNCTURE

There are some instruments to use for laser acupuncture.First the laser itself:two main types of laser are:Helium Neon (gas)and the solid state diode laser .
The penetration of these two lasers are different , depends on the wavelength.The longer the wavelength, the deeper is its penetration.
Why we use laser,are there advantages of lasers over needles?
First we can say that laser acupuncture is painless and no sensation of numbness in the side of patients.People sometime afraid of needles, especially children.
Secondly it is harmless and does not cause tissue damage.
Thirdly it is completely sterile
The last one it is simple to operate.
I myself prefer to use instrument for laser acupuncture equipped with point detector.
IT'S GREAT TO TREAT AND CURE WITH LASER ACUPUNCTURE!

LASER ACUPUNCTURE AND PRAYERS

Two days ago I have a patient :a Mr.H who suffered from low back pain.
I remember he had been hospitalised for more than 4 weeks,lying on his back like a baby and every time went to toilet on a wheel-chair.
Now he visited my clinic ,walked like a giant without any feeling of pain .He looked very happy with a smile around his face,very nice gentleman with his long grey hair.
He told me that his big boss had called him by telephone to learn his health condition,(he is an engineer by profession in an airline company),of course this is why he looked so happy. Laser had given us more experiences to learn.
Now I'd like to send a good news.If you believe laser will give positive effect for your health then consult your medical doctor,because it should be given by an experienced and competent hand.
I read a report in my red journal:relief of chronic low back pain immediately after one session of low level laser acupuncture therapy.Significant improvement in functional and symptomatic outcomes were revealed.With silent prayers it gives more! Thank you Dr.Dhiya!
