Alternative Medicine Makes a Good Gift

---

What’s the gift we’d like to have in stock for our readers this holiday season? It would be a healthy dose of common sense, and a reminder that not every health problem needs a medical solution. Unfortunately, few people open their minds when confronted with a swollen joint, an injury to the skin, back pain, broken bones, or even brain injuries. Yet, instead of costly, dangerous drugs that come with side effects, or surgical treatments that involve other risks, these are examples of problems that respond well to alternative forms of therapy.

We have written in the past about low-intensity laser therapy (LILT). It’s now known as photobiomodulation (PBM), which involves the application of light to instigate a natural healing process. There are no drugs and no side effects. It’s a non-invasive, non-toxic treatment for a wide range of health issues ranging from wound healing to age-related degenerative conditions. And although there have been far-reaching claims that deserve some skepticism, the basic scientific premise is clear, people get results, and researchers are intrigued.
