Case Studies

Case #1: A horse named Dude returned to the barn with a barbed wire injury above its hoof. A full thickness piece of skin measuring 4 by 8 inches was torn off and missing. With routine care (keeping the wound clean) no signs of healing were evident 5 weeks later. Veterinarians say this type of injury normally takes between 6 to 12 months to heal in from the edges. The wound can't be closed because of the risk of infection.

Photo #1:Dude with 4 by 8 inch piece of skin missing above the hoof because of barbed wire injury after 5 weeks of routine care. No signs of healing. A trainer treated the injury with a pulsed LED device set on frequency A (for skin) twice daily for 15 minutes.

Photo #2: Photo of injury taken after 15 days of treatment with pulsed LED device, 15 minutes twice daily. Veterinarians say this type of injury normally takes 6-12 months to heal (Hoof is buried in sand). Healing was so rapid we at first believed some sort of practical joke was being played on us. Then we saw more photos of other injuries.

Case #2: A mare returned to the barn an estimated 2 days after running into a barbed wire fence. A piece of skin was torn off measuring about 8 by 18 inches exposing a neck muscle.

Photo #2: Wound was treated daily with a pulsed LED device with frequency A and was totally healed in only 45 days.

Case #3: In an unpublished study conducted at a bone and joint hospital in New York tendons in rabbits were cut, then sutured together. The animals were divided into two groups one receiving treatment with pulsed LEDs with the C frequency, the second group going untreated. After three weeks, the point in time when the tendon repairs are normally the weakest, the animals were sacrificed and tension was applied to the tendons with a strain gage. In untreated animals tendons pulled apart easily. In treated animals progressively more and more tension was applied. The tendons healed so strongly where they were cut they pulled out of their bony insertions and the suture sites never broke.

Case #4: Anuria (kidney failure) in a dog: A 17 year old dog stopped eating, was acting like it was dizzy and stopped making urine. In blood tests the BUN was 304 and creatinine was 4.7, both markedly elevated and signs of terminal kidney failure. The veterinarian said this dog was as good as dead and recommended euthanasia, but the owner had another plan. He took the dog home and gave it a 30-minute treatment with the anal heater. The next morning the dog was eating, behaving normally and going out to urinate. Two days later the BUN had fallen to 85.

The replacement dog got to be 16 and was getting gray hair, dry skin, itching, and its hair lost its sheen. Rodger put trace minerals in its water dish, used the anal heater once a week for 15 minutes, and the dog liked to crawl under the LED blankets whenever people were using them. In short order the gray hair disappeared, the hair had a good sheen and the dry skin was gone as was the itching.

Case #5: Hives on a horse: A friend of the inventor called in great distress. He was in the horse training business and recently purchased a gelding for $100,000. The horse had developed giant 5-inch diameter hives all over its body, stopped eating, was losing weight, and spent all day scratching on posts. A local veterinarian was unable to solve the problem so after a month Rodger (inventor of the anal heater) was called to the rescue. He had his son make a large prototype anal heater for the horse measuring 12 inches long by one inch in diameter. With the horse restrained Rodger held the heater in its anus for 40 minutes. The next morning the hives were gone and never came back. Veterinary acupuncturists later told us the probe only needed to be about 4 inches long to experience the healing benefits. We know of two other horses with generalized giant hives who were treated successfully with anal heat.
