    Two Weeks! Foot fungus

    "87-yo female: Daphanie states she has had this foot condition for over 8 years. Since coming to The Brilin Clinic (New Zealand) 4-months or so ago for back pain and after 5 years pain medication she is now drug-free. “feels really well, lost craving sugar. I feel like I have hope again. Can bend again which was not possible before with such bad back pain and not as tired”…Her foot got worse during the Covid lock-down so she purchased her own Bioptron and results were impressive within 2 weeks. More work is needed but she popped in today excited to show me her foot!"

    Prostate Reduced!

    "I have suffered from an enlarged prostate for 4 years. After using the Bioptron System for just 3 weeks, the problem has disappeared. I used it for ten minutes, twice daily. Previously I had to go on lengthy courses of anti-biotics which later did not help at all. Thanks Bioptron and Gary for this wonderful product. Friends of mine have also benefited from treatments."

    Tonsillitis

    "Even though I am a radiologist and I passed a laser therapy exam, I have never learned at school about BIOPTRON light therapy. After several applications, I was amazed to find out that this Swiss miracle was able to wonderfully cure the chronic cold of my son. When he was asleep, I always pointed the light beam onto his nasal root for 2-3 minutes and the result was immediate... In the end, my son did not have to have any surgery because his adenoids and tonsils were completely healed."

    Professor Celene – excellent results

    "I have had excellent results with Bioptron. I have used it on ACNE patients and together with the right products and light therapy, their skin has improved dramatically... I have used it on patients with PINK EYE, SINUSITIS, TOOTHACHE, HEADACHES, SPRAINED ANKLES, ARTHRITIS, LUPUS, BURN-OUT, etc. Clients have felt so much better after the use of the light that most of them come on a regular basis for treatment and many have purchased the lamp to use at home."

    Wound healing of a dressage pony

    "Mrs. Lydecken is owner of a pony called Angel. Earlier this year, an accident happened in Angel’s stable and she was found with her leg stuck between the door in her box early in the morning. After freeing her leg, a large, horrific wound was revealed... Mrs. Lydecken started to apply the BIOPTRON hyperlight therapy on the pony’s leg twice a day for 10 minutes during 1 month... Up to today, Angel is still treated every three days for 10 minutes."

    Diabetic foot ulcer - DR. TAYEB

    "A 58 years old woman suffered for over five years from poor management of her venous problems... The treatment with BIOPTRON was done for 15 min per day for 6 days per week over a duration of 11 weeks. The results after 3 months were amazing: After the BIOPTRON + PRP + carboxy treatment, the lesion is completely closed and healed. The above mentioned conditions turned out to be favourably affected as well."

    Knee aches after an intense cycling

    "I often suffer from knee aches after an intense cycling training session or race. I was introduced to the BIOPTRON Lamp which relieved my symptoms dramatically after only 8 minutes per knee. I was also suffering from a groin and hamstring injury. I used the lamp for a week on these areas…… it cleared the inflammation and I was injury free after one week! I would recommend the BIOPTRON Lamp for any sports related injury."

    "I've been using the BIOPTRON device for the treatment of such a serious disease like alopecia when your immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles. In 2013, I developed a special methodology for the treatment of alopecia... The treatment was based on the following properties of BIOPTRON Light Therapy: improving microcirculation, anti-edema and anti-inflammatory effects, revitalizing and a mild stimulating effect on hair growth."

Treatment using BIOPTRON takes place for chronic inflammations over several weeks, usually three to four of them. I have very positive opinion on treating keloid scars using light therapy."

    "I am very well pleased with the results of treatments with The Bioptron healing light, spasmodically applied over about two months, my eyesight has improved to the point where I can now use the computer and read newspapers without needing glasses, My hearing has returned to somewhere near normal, and best of all the prostrate problems I had, which the doctors told me would need urgent surgery, followed by radiation and chemotherapy, all the problems have now miraculously disappeared like mist in the morning sun light. I am living proof that the healing power of the Bioptron light is truly miraculous."

    Eye trauma, chronic inflammation, early cataract

    "Six months into my eye treatment I have to report my right eye which was damaged by a truck passing over me responded to the Bioptron Light by ceasing to be constantly inflamed and sore after 3 months. General eye health has improved beyond what I expected. The beginning of a cataract in the right eye tested minimally better at 3 months, but I have yet to be tested at 6 months. I will let you know when it takes place, however 42 years of inflammation in the right eye being reversed in 3 months is quite an impressive turn-around."

    Trigger thumb, tendonitis, wrist/hand pain

    "Over the last few years, I have suffered with a Trigger Thumb on my right hand. With all the pain I was having every time I tried to do anything I ended up being sent to a specialist by my doctor, who gave my thumb a cortisone injection. As a very keen gardener I found it difficult to rest this for six weeks as advised. After I required a second cortisone injection a year later, the specialist informed me the next thing would be an operation... Then my luck was to meet Marcella who introduced me to the Bioptron Light. She was very kind and let me use her light for a week to see if this helped with the path. I was blown away with the Bioptron Light and what it could do for me. So that was it, I just had to have one of these lights."

    Severe hip & knee pain, headaches, sore throats

    "When I first met you I was very crippled with a painful left hip and knee and there you were with your wonderful Bioptron light. Since the very first treatment I was able to sleep without being woken up with extreme pain in fact I had the best night's sleep that I have had in years. I have used the light for headaches, sore throats and for strain injuries with instant results. It is so good to know that it is there so that we have instant treatment for these things."

    Cartilage tear (post-surgery), chronic back & knee pain

    "In July 2009 I had an accident while playing tennis. I went for a sharp shot while playing at the net and felt and heard a large crack as what appeared to be a snap of a rubber band like cartilage in my right knee... My wife started treating my knee with the BIOPTRON light. Over a period of two to three months, there was a gradual improvement and an easing of the pain that I felt when getting into and out of the car and general walking. I was able to return to playing tennis with much more mobility and general movement was much easier... I am very grateful for being treated by the BIOPTRON light and believe it has been a major factor in my recovery."

    Chronic non-healing foot ulcer, osteomyelitis, poor circulation

    "On February 10, 2001 a small stone entered my shoe, piercing the underside of my foot. On March 2001, due to insufficient circulation in my legs I underwent angioplasty to my right leg. This was unsuccessful and a chronic ulcer formed at the site of the injury... After making some enquiries I discovered a friend also owned a BIOPTRON lamp and was very positive about its healing qualities. I contacted Audrey Tomlin and she loaned me a light for a week, which resulted in my decision to purchase a lamp for myself. The rest is history!!!. The ulcer under my first M T P Joint responded to the BIOPTRON lamp so well that by December 2002 the ulcer had almost healed. The results of the BIOPTRON lamp have amazed my doctor."

    Knee kicked just before polo game

    "A polo player was kicked on the side of his knee just before he was due to play in a game. I used the purple light over the area for about 10 minutes. When he stood up, he stomped a bit, waved his leg about and said he couldn't feel any pain. He was able to play that day and for the rest of the week."

    Severe horse wounds, proud flesh, pus

    "I was called to treat the mare 9 days after the accident, She had torn her shoulder and leg on a post and rail fence which had not had the ends removed from the bolts attaching the timber to the posts. The wound had been stitched by 2 veterinarians, but the sutures had pulled out leaving ragged gashes. The shoulder was dripping pus and proud flesh was appearing on the leg injuries... I treated the wounds with various colours and then applied the white light with my Pro for 8 minutes per spot over the entire area... The developing of proud flesh had disappeared after 4 days. To add to her problems she limped heavily to one of her treatments. I diagnosed a stone bruise, and with colour and white light treatment, she was sound again in two days. All together it was a very satisfying result."

    Horse mouth injury & rider back pain

    "A horse came off the polo field with blood dripping from its mouth. It had been hit by a mallet. Fortunately, I still have the old-style light with the detachable plug at the base and, with the cigarette lighter attachment cord, was able to treat the horse right by the truck. In half an hour it was grazing and she played it again two days later. I also used purple on a polo player who was thrown heavily and had a very painful back, with the same results - except he didn't eat grass after."

    Chronic ingrown eyelash, eye irritation

    "In 1997 I went to our G.P. to have my right lower eyelid looked at, it was very inflamed, our doctor explained that I had an ingrown eyelash. Our doctor then promptly operated on the inside of the eyelid to remove the offending material. The small but very painful operation wasn't what the doctor had ordered. and so over time, I learned to live with eyelashes that seemed to want to grow inwards, that gave me constant eyeball irritation and vision problems... After one 4-minute session on the right eye, there was instant relief so I purchased the light. Two weeks down the line using the Bioptron light twice a day 4 minutes on each side, I am practically cured, I now have no irritation at all and my eye as people remark looks the same as my left eye."

    Painful scar, diabetic eye fatigue, high blood sugar

    "A friend recommended that I start coming for Bioptron treatments for a painful scar which I had from an operation on my submandibular salivary gland The scar was very tight and painful. I had the operation about 5 months earlier. Because I'm also diabetic and on insulin pills, which I started taking about 4 years ago, and I had problems with my eyes getting tired and sore quite often, I decided to try Bioptron out on these complaints as well. I had the treatments about 3- times a week, with the Bioptron 2 and the colour therapy... My eyes no longer get tired or sore and my scar is no longer tight or painful. Because the light has helped me with my health problems I have decided to keep coming for regular treatments."

    Shattered patellar ligament (post-surgery)

    "In April 2010 I broke my Patella Ligament in my left knee in an accident. Some 20 years earlier I had broken the arterial cruciate ligament in the same knee and had a repair using tissue from the patellar ligament, which took me many months to recover from. The surgeon who undertook the emergency repair for the patella was not optimistic about a full recovery... After the surgery, I was fortunate enough to use one of Marcella Popplewell's Bioptron Lights on an ongoing basis. After six weeks of my leg being immobilised the surgeon was astonished at the progress I had made and the amount of mobilisation I had in the knee... I would encourage anyone to try the Bioptron for themselves."

    Badly broken ankle in plaster

    "A polo player's wife fell down an embankment and badly broke her ankle. It was encased in plaster to hold it while they waited for the swelling to go down before doing an MRI. She reacted badly to the painkillers and stopped taking them. I saw her 4 days after the accident and, with a very sceptical audience, played the purple over the plaster. After about 10 minutes she said it felt like ants running over her leg, and then (in great astonishment) declared it had stopped throbbing. She used the purple every day until her hospital visit and had no pain during that time."

    Child’s thumb bitten by horse

    Hock wrench & severe muscle tear

    "A yearling wrenched his hock, resulting in a lot of swelling and heat. He was already in 5 days when I was called. After the second treatment, there was no more heat. The second was his mate, brought in for company and got cast in the box, panicked and badly tore the muscles of his hindquarter. He was in great pain. The vet had said that both would take many weeks to heal... I used indigo, orange blue and Bioptron and within 3 days they were very restless and dying to get out... Time and again Bioptron heals in one-third the usual time, which is great for box-bound horses who hate being inside."

    Old wire cut with “bow” of solid flesh

    "A yearling filly had a bad wire cut on her leg. Possibly too-tight bandaging had created a "bow" of solid flesh about 25cm long. As it was weeks old, I used the red colour to help break it up, the purple to get the circulation going and the Bioptron to help the scarring. It took about 6 weeks of nearly daily sessions, but the bow receded greatly and the solid tissue became soft and malleable as it was reabsorbed into the body. It is not perfect with the thick scar, but the appearance of the leg is greatly improved."

She had abrasions all over her body, some deep, with a split top lip, bruising and swelling, and quite significant gouging down her neck where the pricker rein had ripped her skin as she attempted to get to her feet... I went every day for 5 days, using the purple for bruising and swelling, green for possible infection and the Bioptron. She was bright and moved freely so I thought that was enough. Three weeks later the owner phoned me and asked if I wanted to come to the track to see her do her first fast workout since the accident. She went back to work after 2 weeks. He was very impressed!"

    Multiple wounds, swollen eye/hock, haematomas

He panicked as he was being cut free and ended up with a swollen eye and hock, two haematomas between his front legs, a split lip, a wood burn and puncture wounds in various places. I gave him and his owner the 4-minute Stress Release and used the purple all over and the Bioptron where I could see wounds. When we let him go he walked away and started eating, which he hadn't done up until then. I went back the next morning and found his eye normal, the haematomas almost gone and the hock only slightly swollen."

After 3 weeks of wrestling with him, trying to get ointments in his eye, he wouldn't let anyone near it and the vet talked about removing the eye which would have ended his successful career. I used purple on it, and after the first surprised flick of his head, the horse didn't move, obviously enjoying the sensation - and not being touched. The trainer kept on using purple and Bioptron, and he was back in work in another 3 weeks."

    "Following a nasty fall, a competition horse tore a muscle very badly above the stifle, which left a significant haematoma around the region. After about two weeks when it had been drained a number of times, and after the bleeding had ceased, the enlightened vet recommended Bioptron to assist with the breaking down of the clotted blood, having talked with me. The owner used purple every day on the saucer-sized haematoma which the vet had said wouldn't heal for four-to-six months. The mare would doze while the light was on her and she was back in work in 5 weeks. The owner was beyond delighted as her show season was saved."

He had a bone graft and the surgeon said he would be lucky if he was jogging in 4 months. By 6 weeks he was back on the bike and in the pool and had no pain the whole time. In turn, he passed the set on to his grandfather whose foot was turning black from lack of circulation due to diabetes. He lived in the Far North, not near the hospital, and used the purple every day. His foot returned to normal. Eric's mother also used it to ease her asthma (orange on her lungs)."

    "While visiting in hospital, a young man was in a wheelchair with his leg heavily bandaged from below the knee to his toes. He told me the weight from a forklift truck had fallen on his foot, crushing it. He had already had 6 operations on it to repair all the bones, but they had had to remove a toe because of gangrene and he risked losing his whole foot because of it... I used purple and after a few minutes he exclaimed that it felt like ants running around under the bandage. While I was using the orange on his foot (bones) he suddenly gasped and said "It's not throbbing any more!" He started yawning his head off, saying how tired he was. I sent him away to sleep pain-free."

No serious injuries, but when I saw her the next morning she had a swelling the size of a melon at the top of her leg and bruising on the shoulder and flank, where there was a piece of skin missing the size of an orange.

    "I also treated another horse that had been kicked in the shoulder 3 weeks previously. It started draining freely and was looking good after being stuffed up with vet's creams and was very painful. The horse is enjoying not being touched, so the Bioptron is a huge plus as he would not stand still for hands-on treatment. While there I noticed another horse had a sore eye (half-closed). I could see he'd put some sort of creme on it. He said he got it from the vet to 'fix' it without the problem being diagnosed but was happy for me to use Bioptron. She loved it, and by the time I'd used purple, green and the Bioptron, her eye was totally open again."

    Carpal tunnel scar pain & tightness

    "A young lady in the village boulangerie where I lived had an operation on her hand for carpel tunnel syndrome. The scar was at the base of her palm just by her wrist. She was having pins and needles and it was pulling. I felt it; the scarring was quite wide and dense. I went back with my light and colours; put the red on it for 2 minutes, then the purple for 4 mins. Then massaged the area a bit. She felt better immediately. I went back one more time but it hardly needed it. The scarring feels minimal and she is using her hand normally."

    Necrosis with poor circulation after broken hip

    "I broke my hip and healing was very slow. I had been using a walker for the last two months and was not able to put my foot fully on the ground. The doctors were worried because I am a diabetic and there had been a delay before the operation, provoking a potential necrosis. Because of circulation difficulties, my leg felt icy and was a mottled, dull colour... In 10 minutes my ankle, which was stiff and unbending through lack of articulation, became much more supple... In 3 days my leg felt lukewarm; after a week it was warm and the colour was normal. I was also able to put my foot to the ground and started walking with the aid of a cane - a huge help while negotiating the confines of my small shop. I used the light for three weeks at Heidi's insistence. I had no pain at all."

    Venous leg ulcer, severe pain

    "I was told to start very gradually with the amount of time. I applied the light to my leg and am gradually building it up to 8 mins twice a day. I am currently on 6 minutes a day and what a difference already! I have had no more sleepless nights, only minor discomfort compared with before when I was in terrible pain. The ulcer is only half as deep as it was and is not so wide - I really cannot believe it. I am carrying on with the Manuka honey also but this light definitely seems to be doing the trick and I can feel it tightening."

    Chronic non-healing burns & grafts

    "Since its inception here at the Burns Unit we have successfully employed the technology of polarized light therapy on several hundred patients with chronic non healing wounds. This is undertaken as a routine adjunct in our wound care and there is no billing connected to this service as it is undertaken during the routine dressing changes. This is not a first-line treatment in our regime, rather we apply the technique as an adjunct to wounds we find problematic and slow or non healing. This includes previously grafted wounds and non healing donor sites from skin graft harvesting procedures. There are no complaints of patients to note and as we monitor the ongoing treatment and long term outcomes (over years) we have not recorded any side effects or discomfort on any of our patients."

    Hoof abscesses both sides

    "A 10-year-old roan has abscesses in the hoof sole and wall on both sides. After 6 weeks of treatment with BIOPTRON, 3 times daily for 4 minutes per leg onto the hoof sole and 4 minutes onto the white line of the wall, the first success was evident... Although the movement of the wall is still visible, it has been reduced by approximately 60%. The degree of movement has improved. The horse is moving smoothly and feeding regularly on the paddock. After 3 months the treatment was stopped."

    Premature foal, herpes eye infection, cleft palate

    "Jabbo was born 4 weeks prematurely with severe deficiencies: inflammation of the cornea of the right eye due to the Herpes virus, and cleft palate.

    "The Bioptron Light combined with a facial is a most wonderful experience. The light not only causes the creams applied to the face to have more efficacy, but it also causes lines to become less visible. The general tone and quality of the skin becomes softer, younger and more nourished."

    18yo male severe facial bruises, wounds, stitches after car accident

    "An 18-year-old male patient with facial trauma has been hospitalized for 7 days after a car accident. In addition to the initial treatments from plastic surgery and dentistry clinics, Bioptron hyperlight therapy was started two days after the accident for the treatment of soft tissue trauma, such as bruises, wounds, and scrapes around the mouth and nose area... While the skin covering the scar was red and overgrown initially, it has improved successfully during the Bioptron treatment duration by getting smoother and changing into similar color to the rest of the skin."

    20-year fibromyalgia, daughter’s dermatitis, son’s single kidney damage, partner’s knee cartilage, dog tumours

    "I was diagnosed four years ago as having fibromyalgia... At just past the three-week mark I began to realise how much better I was feeling. It took till the end of the fourth week... for me to feel basically no pain. I also had a lot clearer facial skin and my hands, which normally feel rougher than the coarsest sandpaper, were now smooth. I had also been having some significant premenopausal problems which cleared completely. My 23-year-old son... had his remaining kidney treated... his kidney function had improved and was the best it has been in 8 years. Graham also treated our 11 year old English Setter who has a tumour on his hind leg and testicular cancer... At the end of the treatment, both the tumour and the scrotum had lost the ugly purple colour. I have used the light on my partner’s knee that was scanned 2 years ago and showed cartilage damage... After using the light on the knee for only 4 days the pain had diminished and he was able to sleep all night."

I used red to 'annoy' it, purple to bring new blood to the area and green for the obvious infection... As you can see by the final photo, all that's left is a faint line."

Before the light she had blood noses, mucus coming out her nose and she also would cough non stop and throw up mucus then pass out. Tessa guzzles water after the light which however she runs around excited afterwards and then she goes to sleep for hours or sleeps throughout the night now with no chesty issues or passing out."
