Well, I found someone else in the USA using lasers to lower blood sugars (on the internet that is). Of course, if he also started low carbing at the same time, that could explain the dramatic change in blood sugars. FWIW, here is a "testimonial" from a laser therapy site. I think this is a different type laser than Erchonia.

"Diabetes.
I have experienced diabetes most of my adult life. In January of this year, my doctor gave 1 month to get my blood sugar count down (254) or she was going to start me on insulin. I wasn't much interested in insulin as everyone I knew that had started on it was now dead. I started lasering my pancreas with the Q1000 laser for one 3-minute session per day. During the first week, my blood sugar counts (as tested on two different machines) dropped about 20 points per day. I kept lasering every day, but my blood sugar count started going up. I called Dr. Lytle and he indicated that I had probably "gone over the top of the bell curve" and to only laser every other (or 3rd) day. I backed off to lasering 2 or 3 times per week, and my blood sugar counts have now stablized - without any additional treatment methods - at 135. Robert Rumph, MT"

Bethschein....I am just comming across your message from awhile ago but you mention a laser you can get, that has a wider scope than the one from Radio shack...I am interested...see my profile..to email me. Thnks.

I, too am interested, I did try to pm, but couldnt get it thru.. so would love info.. My co worker Massage therapist just mentioned this treatment to me in an email the other day, so I was surprised to see this thread.

I will be studying this some more.. and checking out where to 'get' a laser, to begin working on myself with this.

Wow...was just checking out the threads...this is really interesting....I think it calls for more info for sure. Wondering if Radio Shack up in Canada might carry the laser?

Happy

well i have done alot of research on laser therapy....there are really good ones out there for a couple of thousand dollars...but I was just wondering what the deal is with the smaller ones....probably just not as effective or strong i guess....i mean if its a pinpoint laser then it wouldnt be that powerful...if you used it on your pancreas for sugar metabolism then you would most certainly have to know where you were pointing. Anyway one way or another, I am investing in one. Its excellent for so many important things....and I dont think it will be long before its off the market for the general public. I am doing real well on Atkins, i feel good, thats the point, so i move more often......yea! what the heck is sugar alcohol ?

Where would you buy a Q1000 laser and how do you get trained on using it?

I presume that soon it will be unlawful to buy one.

http://www.cihs.ca/Products/Lasers/Q1000.htm This is the link for the Q1000. I think they can tell you about the training, I have that question too, I'm just about to undergo kidney surgery, so I wont have time for a month to finish my research. Thor is another company, I think they are more expensive, but look okay, I need to compare the specs before I can decide. The Erchonia laser is the other one worth looking at. http://www.erchonia.com/pages/lasers.html It is not unlawful to buy lasers.
Be well.+++++

Thank you. I hope all goes well with your surgery and healing, and you will posting soon!

My daughter, 11, was just diagnosed with Type 1 3 weeks ago. It has been a whirlwind and not the fun kind. We have dealt with other issues with our 2 boys so our belief from the onset was that we were going to find a way to get her off of insulin. We've already started cold laser treatments. My boys were getting CL for their auditory issues and when I read up on how it can help diabetes I asked our therapist if we could use it for Megan. She agreed but hasn't ever treated for this. Luckily, she has a laser that has all 3 lights, red, infared and purple which from what I understand, is very good. The problem is she has 1200 settings and many subsettings within each setting. For now. we are treating using the 'quantam' setting. I've heard that there is some belief that type 1 starts in the liver. If so, should we add milk thistle to her diet? I've also read that she should be using colloidal silver, grape seed extract. We do not have any genetic history so we are going on the theory that this is a virus or autoimmune. So that being the case shouldn't we also add lyseine and possibly acidophilus? How long should we do the laser? Meg is 74lbs 4'11". Right now we are only doing 5 min 3-4/week. She's already gotten her BS #'s down by an average of 85 points. Any suggestions? I also read that there is some belief that type 1 is a result of an Enteric Virus (in the intestines, thus the acidophilus). I'm so excited I found this thread. Thank you all for posting....
