When I re-upped to receive Dr. Robert Rowen's newsletter a few years back, one of the perks that was sent along was a booklet and some plastic numbered color sheets to use with a light source. I was intrigued to say the least. I didn't have an occassion to use the therapy until I had an unfortunate happening after surgery.
The anesthesiologist (sp) used a size 18 needle in my hand for the iv (per my hospital nurse). That weekend after I got home, my left lower arm and hand that had had the iv became swollen and red. It was the weekend and I live way out in the boonies so, I tried the green sheet installed in a flashlight and used it on my arm and hand off and on all day Saturday. By Sunday, the improvement was obvious and little redness. I continued the therapy on Sunday and by Monday it was hardly noticable. I was impressed. The RN that my insurance company had 'assigned' to my case explained to me later that .. yes.. a too large needle combined with a too fast flow could have caused my problem. Some kind of inflammation of the vein? I can't remember what she called it. I don't have a vein there anymore on that part of my hand either. I guess it collapsed? So.. in my opinion, there seems to be some validity to color therapy. I don't know if laser therapy is comparable to color therapy. Lola H.
