The Roundtable / Re: Cold laser therapy devices
« Last post by K Frame on Today at 07:16:57 AM »
Much lower/slower. I haven’t seen the studies validating them but I do have experience with the 3b Erchonia.

And the problem with that is? Is there really any expectation that an at home device is going to offer the same speed benefits as a medical-grade one? No.

But I'll say this...

Since I started treating Seren two days ago, I've seen a marked improvement. She's more energetic and her rear leg position is much more natural. previously, when standing, she was VERY down on her pastern. That's an indication of knee and/or hip pain.

This morning her position was much more natural.

She'll be starting a new NSAID in a few days, but I'm going to continue using the device.


As for my knees after two days? Also a marked improvement in my pain levels.

The device also has a "surface treatment" mode that uses different wavelengths. It's for wound healing, etc. I've started using that mode on several patches of psoarsis (sp? I can never spell that) that I have on the back my hand and elbow. Way too early to tell any different for that, though.


Castle Key will confirm that I'm kind of a maniac when it comes to my dogs. I can see things that aren't there, I can see the worst case scenario, and I can grasp at straws. That's part of my mental process when it comes to my dogs.

But what I'm seeing right now isn't imaginary. It's physical, and it's showing as an improvement in Seren's energy levels and her positioning when she's standing and also when she's walking.

If you think you feel better, then  you feel better.
 
When I was with Searle Pharma, we had some company meetings in big rooms, and that was when things like laser pointers were kinda new.
 
And we had a big handheld (for definitions - it was about the size of three beer cans) red laser, and everyone who got to touch it got the lecture:
 
"NEVER point it toward the audience, and while you're pointing it toward the screen, keep it moving."
 
There had been a smoke incident...

The front calipers were not replaced. Rotors and pads and front hoses were replaced.
Now the mechanic says the calipers are bad.
I talked to one of the owners today. Good conversation, nice guy. He apologized, thanked me for bringing it to his attention, and said there would be no labor charge if they do the calipers. He is going to look at the pictures and video pre work also. He didn’t have an answer for why my tears had to be replaced with only about 12k miles on them. I don’t drive in heavy traffic or high speeds. And I put new calipers and hoses on at the same time. The reason for that work was a caliper actually failed and the piston shattered and tore hell out of the rotor so I did complete incl ebrake pads.

Wow, using W7 on the internet, umm, yeah
Anyway
With Linux you have to pick a flavor, yes they are usually referred to as flavors, and stick to it since many can be quite different.
Probably the most recommenced is Mint Cinnamon followed by Zorn. Mint has other versions but Cinnamon is the full up version. Neither are really hard to learn but it may take some time to get use to where everything is. As far as program compatibility you may have to ditch certain software packages that you used to and learn some new ones. Drivers may or may be available for some hardware although Linux has been getting better about it.

That was a "given".  My earlier XP Pro was using Office 2000 and I reloaded it on this 7.  My 98 system has apparently died (hadn't used it in over a year) as it said "OS not found" when I tried to boot it up recently.  After my mother's passing, I took that XP back as it still has Movie Maker on it, something not on 7.  I have a lot of prints (and slides) I need to scan and her scanner has a transparency scanner built into it - IF I can get it to work !
I went through about 500 slides today, saving maybe 50 but I still have almost 1500 to get through.

It would be SO much fun to watch Trump show up at the steps with $175 million in one dollar bills...
 
I mean, he wouldn't stoop so low as to use pennies, right?

Would it even be possible to gather that many pennies?  Are even that many in actual circulation because that would be over 17 BILLION pennies?
