Thanks for asking.  I'm using it less and less because I have less pain. I'm not sure but I think the rhines (those kiss wrinkles women get) have decreased.  Amazing.  Knee is able to squat again with no repercussions.  Haven't gotten back on the rebounder yet but it's on the way.  Not sure what the lower right back pain is--kidney stone or infection or deflected from elsewhere perhaps.  It's still there tho' not as much since the area is far less sensitive to touch (like a bruise that hurts) than it was before I started putting light on it.  Let's see.  I keep doing the cervical section of spine and have greatly reduced arm/thumb/index finger numbness.  I also do both wrists just in case it actually gets to the blood stream plus if the carpal tunnel is inflamed it takes care of that.  The numb place on my back is still numb. The huge skin tag on my seat is still attached and not withering. I do my ears/neck occasionally just because and have had reduced eye gunk from nighttime air conditioning.  Am working on some spider veins which may be reduced but they're not gone yet.

Am trying to get DH to let me do his scalp and varicose veins but not yet. Only in the last 2 weeks have persuaded him to start taking a tsp of coconut oil--not nearly enough for his lifestyle but some is better than none.  (I'll sweeten the next batch of wafers I make with it and he'll eat more.)  I'll get the light on him with some regularity eventually.

My brother wants one.  Tell me your price for him and I'll make him mail you a check.  Or if you'd rather have a credit card we could do a paypal transfer for you--but you have to pay for that, don't you?  He's not in a hurry so again, you could wait until the check cleared, no problem.  Of course, his check's good but I don't like to take your safety for granted.

Does DMSO make light penetrate better like it does other stuff?  Maybe it'd make the purple get there.  Naw, it affects cell permeability and the way molecules travel back and forth thru the cell wall.  Probably light doesn't fit that category.  Ya think?

Yeah I wonder also because I have some LEDs that are purple and right on the border of UV. maybe I should do some more resaerch on that and see. I know that some people use the red at the wrist and navel to get to the blood. I would have to see if the purple can penetrate to the blood in the body anywhere. Usually the blue and purple colors dont penetrate very well.
Hows it going with your LED unit?
