Bea Colburn  

Wichita, Kansas

In 2004 I experienced a ruptured colon and extensive peritonitis and had to have an emergency surgery which resulted in a huge 14”by 3” by 4” abdominal wound that would not heal.  Because my open wound drained non-stop, it was impossible for me to drive, climb stairs, or walk anywhere without leaking stomach acid which kept my skin raw and painful.

My husband was doing some electrical work for the VanWinkles and shared our dilemma with Marty.  She offered to help us with her Photonic Light.  I was skeptical, but after years of doctors failing to heal the wound or stop the pain we were willing to try anything.  After 4 treatments we could see an improvement.  Five months later the wound is completely healed.  We are so thankful for Marty and her “funny flashlight” and the positive change that the light has made on our lives.

I would gladly recommend the Photonic Torch to anyone.

Equine Use

My horse Seabiscuit (aka “Biz”) has a scar on his back and over his loin caused by a severe fungus he got as a colt.  He had substantial scar tissue that was painful and tender.  He was also very difficult to bridle, and to touch his ears was almost impossible. 

scar

At the Fizz Bomb Futurity Classic I had Marty with her PHOTONIC TORCH work on “Biz”.  After one session “Biz” was 100% better.  The scar tissue on his back seemed to be less evasive and there was absolutely no pain over the scar.  I was able to rub his ears and I have had no problem bridling him.

Thanks Marty for your help, and I highly recommend the Photonic torch.

 

bo

Lynette Bradeen-Erickson

Rapid City, SD

Equine Use

We purchased a horse named Bo about 4 years ago as a barrel prospect because he showed great potential and had above average speed. His has a consistent pattern always gave 100%.

Over the last 2 years he has been experiencing chronic pain which has kept him out of commission training and competing.

After investing over $2500 seeing vets, equine chiropractors, and even equine massage therapists, all of which couldn’t tell us what was wrong or even help him, we were left with the decision to put him down. We couldn’t continue to see him this way. The pain that he was experiencing could be seen in his eyes and in his movements in the pasture. We couldn’t touch the top of his head or even brush him as he would cringe and pull away. The spasms that he would experience were terrible.

Thanks to God, Marty Van Winkle and her PHOTONIC TORCH was introduced into our lives and she had an opportunity to come spend some time with us. In two treatments you could see the dramatic improvements with Bo.

Marty took the time to explain what she was doing and why she was doing it. Some of what she would say we didn’t understand but we saw dramatic results as she done her work. When before you couldn’t touch the top of his head now you can rub between his ears, before when I couldn’t even brush him now he stands silent and enjoys it.

He is back to being a normal horse and we have even started training again. What Marty has to offer is priceless, and also restored our horse back to normal. Bo has since not relapsed and we continue to ride him pain free.

Thank you Marty and God Bless you.

Human Use

 

A woman with multiple problems, including severe chronic pain, attended one of my workshops. I worked with her to clear negative patterns and past life trauma, the "invisible roots" of this disorder, and then Marty worked on her body with the Photonic Torch to release her physical pain. It was like a miracle--she left class that day a new woman, saying she felt she had been "reborn." She no longer needed her cane, and she walked so fast the rest of us couldn't keep up with her!

Douglas, Kansas

Equine Use

My 7 year old mare Gracie had a colt three years ago and had never stopped producing milk. She became sore and irritable and began to buck when ridden. She would kick when I cinched her up or touched her belly. I took her to every vet and even called a reputable university for help. No one could help and we tried everything.

I was about to give up when a fellow roper said if anyone could help my mare, it was Marty VanWinkle with her "light". With a little time and patience, she and her light has done what no one else could do in three years-- made my mare well.

My mare has stopped producing milk, is no longer wringing her tail or bucking and she no longer kicks at me. Gracie is enjoying life thanks to that light.

I will not hesitate to recommend the Photonic Torch to anyone with horse problems. I am a true believer.

Thanks Marty!

Greenfield, IA

Equine Use

Renea Bolling – Double B Productions – Barrel Bash – Owner/Rider Fast Frenchman. I bought “Dinero” Jan of his 3 year old year. He was halter broke and to call him a spook would be an understatement! My dad spent most of his 3 year old year desensitizing him and getting him ready to ride. It was a long trying process with constant setbacks especially involving anything with his head. Over time he got better but still was “sensitive” regarding his head and ears. Chiropractic adjustments did not seem to fix the problem at hand. Fall 2008 I met Marty through a mutual friend and she began working on “Dinero” and his chronic “head problem” she spent hours working on him with the light and when I left from the finals she felt she had made significant progress add so did I. Being the skeptic I was I wasn't really convinced of the effectiveness until she offered to work on my back which gives me chronic pain. I thought ok if she can help MY back and it still feels better tomorrow I’ll KNOW she’s helping my horse and his head/neck pain. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised to feel my back pain go away almost immediately and stay that way for more than a month! The pain I was getting down my leg stopped immediately. Martee met up with me again in March and worked on “Dinero” again and I feel that she has helped him tons! You can touch his ears now – and he is MUCH better about everything with his head.

Thank you Marty!

Canine Use

A few months ago my sister and I decided to take a road trip from Dallas to Kansas to see Marty and learn more about the Photonic Torch. We took 2 dogs with us that were having problems. My dog, Madison, is an 11yo Pug and starting to show the signs of stiffness in her back, legs and neck. Not only did we get to see some fabulous results with a horse we witnessed Marty treat but later that day Marty worked on "Maddie" to help her with all of her problem areas. It took a bit of time but Maddie allowed us to treat each area until the energy flow was returned. As we watched her after treatment her physical movements were more free flowing and obviously with a great reduction in stiffness. She was trotting around like she did 5 years ago. After running around she laid down to take a snooze. The interesting effect was that she was no longer snoring. I was amazed. We still treat Maddie periodically as her symptoms come on and she responds immediately. We have enjoyed quiet nights of no snoring as well.

Another interesting turn of events was after I returned home my husband, Alex, started using the torch on his knee. We run our own company, Zen Sports Group, which is soccer focused. As an ex-professional player he is still out kicking the ball and coaching the kids and Alex was feeling those effects on his knee. After consistent use, he saw remarkable reduction in his knee pain until it was gone. Today, he uses the torch periodically as a preventative against his knee pain returning.

Marty, thank you so much for taking the time to teach us how to use the torch but also to show us the results. We love the torch and are thankful to have it close at hand as we use it often.

June Tibbitts

Terry, Montana

Equine Use, Tetnus

Sunday Sept. 9, 2007
Quest, our 2 year old filly, had tetanus acquired through a stone bruise. We had turned her out
to heal up and but found her with her third eye lid 1/2 way covering her eyeball on both eyes. We
called several vets and located some anti-toxoid serum. The location of the serum was 2 hours
away. We gave her 8 vials of the serum. Quest’s body movements were quite rigid. She did not
have lockjaw yet and kept eating and drinking. She went down several days later. Ron got a halter
on her and she was able to get up. We were all at a barrel race and doing lots of praying for this
mare. Quest went down again the next day and Ron used two tractors to get the mare up (she
was down this time for several hours and got quite bruised). We used the photonic torch on this
mare for 3 weeks, two times a day. We believe the torch, along with Gods providential power and
many prayers, healed Quest. She is 100% normal and only has a couple of scars on her from the
day she was down for several hours. This mare loves having the torch used on her.
Since then we have visited with several vets, as well as going on the net, and have found no survivors
from tetanus that was this advanced. Thank you God and the Photonic Torch! j.t.

Human Use, Asthma

Hello Marty

We just wanted to let you know that we just love our Photonic Torch and that we use it all the time.  Our 7 year old son Cauy has asthma and anytime he has an attack in the night we use it, and he will go right back to sleep.  It has been one of the best investments we have ever made!!  My husband rodeo’s and always has sore spots, so we do not leave home without it.  We also use it all the time on the horses.  It is a wonderful tool!!

Thanks again!

 Equine Injury Healing aided with the Equinix Photonic Torch

injury1 injury3
This wreck happened on December 13, 2006. It was one of those freak accidents that occurred
with a goseneck hitch on a trailer. This mare was originally stitched up for five days and then was
opened up to drain a little at a time. By the thirteenth day it was completely open. We applied an ointment on this wound for 5 1/2 months. I reached a point where I felt like I was at a stand still. A friend of mine suggested that I try her photonic torch. I have been using it for 69 days and it is almost completely closed. This was a great blessing and the pictures speak for themselves. I would have never guessed that a little light could do such an amazing job. I often wonder how much sooner this would have healed if I had used it in the beginning. Thank You!

Marty,
I really see a difference in the performance of all my horses when I consistently use my Photonic Torch.  It helps with body soreness and keeps them running at peak level.  A Lotta Rocket and I recently had the best run ever at the BBR Finals on the last day and I believe it was due to the Photonic Torch.  I used it a lot at the show because he was stalled on concrete and he never became sore.  Thanks for selling me the light and I think it’s a must for all no matter what the riding discipline if you want to stay competitive.  The Photonic Torch and Silver Lining Herbs along with proper nutrition, stretching, and hoof care alleviates the need for high dollar maintenance that so many incur.  Thanks again!

Glenda Long and Kisses for Katie, Rosehill, KS

Equine Use-  Ulcers, Ovary and Kidney Problems

Dear Marty

I want to thank you with all my heart! Katie is feeling so much better. I knew something was wrong with my horse. Katie would cross fire (her rear end would go faster than her front end) and she would become uncontrollable. She would also get this wild look in her eyes, and getting her into the arena was a challenge.

I hauled her everywhere but no one could find anything wrong with her. One vet thought she might have nerve damage in the withers.

I still remember the day you came over with your RED LIGHT, and when the light was placed over Katie’s ovaries she began making stud noises. I thought she was going to try to mount me. After about 60 seconds it was over. When you placed the light on her ulcer and kidney points we got a strong reaction. We called Dr. Brooks and told him what had happened and he suggested we bring her in and check her with his ultra sound machine. You and the light were right! Katie’s ovaries were swollen, her kidney’s were sore, and she had ulcers. With the red light and the herbs you recommended, Katie is now a different horse.

Thank you Marty and your PHOTONIC TORCH for giving Katie and I the chance to become a team.

Debbie Howell,   Derby, Kansas

Human Use- Restless Leg Syndrome

My name is Debbie and I’m 43 years old.  In May of 2006 I was diagnosed with Restless Leg Syndrome.  I couldn’t sleep thru the night without getting up and walking around.  The tight cramping, creepy crawling feeling wouldn’t let me sleep.  It was so painful.  My doctor gave me a prescription for Requip, which I would have to take the rest of my life.

A friend offered to loan me her Photonic torch to see if it could help.  I used it night and day, placing the light on pressure points on my feet, legs, and lower back.  In two days I could sleep all night.  When I felt the pain coming back I would put the light on the pressure points.

I have used the Torch off and on for the past few months, and I can now go for weeks without any symptoms.  The Torch has been a Godsend.

Equine Use

I purchased a 7 year old Quarter Horse mare in April of 2006. She had an injury from getting caught under a fence. The vets said she pulled her stifle and she needed six months of no riding and she might be ok. The owners were not patient and wanted another horse. Needless to say I got a deal and figured if she wouldn’t be sound that I would turn her into a brood mare. She had already had four months off so I babied her for a couple more months and then started some light exercise. She would have her good days and bad days. On the good days not a lame step and on the bad days she could hardly walk. I took her to my vet and he said her stifles were shot and to turn her into a brood mare. I was still optimistic and continued to ride her on the good days. There was a local show that I decided to take her to and she won everything on the first day and then on the second day she turned up lame in the middle of the class. (How embarrassing!) Marty just happened to be at the show checking up on another client. We talked and she immediately examined my horse and told me it was her hamstring not her stifle. I bought the Photonic Torch and started using it like instructed and within two weeks not another lame step. It is now October and we have been to several horse shows winning circuit championships and versatilities.


My husband also uses the torch. He is an athlete and competes in triathlons. He developed plantar fasciitis, a syndrome of heel pain due to inflammation of the thick ligament of the base of the foot. The torch has helped him to overcome this injury. I am a believer and so is my husband in this torch and would recommend it to anyone, animal or human.

Tallgrass Animal Institute Uses the Photonic Torch for Animal Healing and Therapy

Tallgrass Animal Accupressure Institute

Animal Use

 We are using the Photonic Torch in our work. It is an 8-diode (non-coherent light) laser which produces 660nm monochromatic light to boost cellular energy and accelerate healing. We have been using the Torch directly with horses, dogs and cats who are particularly sensitive to touch and in areas on the body that are difficult to reach. The reaction has been very positive especially in dealing with animals in pain.
Recently, working on a horse, we saw obvious pain reduction and increased flexibility of a badly injured neck. We were able to work with the Ting Points on a dog whose paws were hyper-sensitive. And, an ailing cat allowed us to get close enough to use the Photonic Torch to help her with her respiratory problem.

Human Use- Back Pain

For years I have dealt with back pain and chiropractors. Chiropractors would work on me and then tell me, “Don’t do anything”. A young lady that works for us was telling me about a “red light” that had really helped her horse.

If that light would help her horse maybe it could help me, so I had Shannon contact Marty to see if she would use the light on me.

After working on my knees and shoulders Marty started to work on my back. I told her not to bother with my back it had been hurting for 20 years and that nothing would help. To my surprise after 20 minutes the pain left and my back has never felt better. I’m back to playing golf, and with the help of the Photonic Torch I am playing without pain, and my back feels great. The Photonic Torch really works!

Hi  Marty,

 After using the Photonic Torch on Six Moons Cash, his time improved by 3/10th of a second helping him to win the second go-round and average of the WPRA Futurity in Wichita, KS.  The "light" also relieved the muscle spasms in his neck and shoulders, and made him more relaxed.

Hesanuther Rooster had chronic swelling in his back ankle for six months.  After using the Photonic Torch, the swelling was greatly reduced.  It also relieved the soreness in his neck and hips.

Thanks for helping our horses!

Dear Marty, I had started having problems walking. I have arthritis and my right hip was lower than my left hip, which was throwing of my whole body. My daughter had told me about you and your torch and wanted me to see if it would help. After the one treatment by you, I was much improved. I felt better than I had for months! I have had numbness in my right lower leg and foot that now the feeling and swelling are much better. By hitting the “points” you taught me with the torch I know I will continue to feel much better.

Keep up the good work,

Dear Marty,
I absolutely love the results I have seen from the Photonic Torch. The level of competition horses compete under today can take a toll on their bodies. The Photonic Torch is one of the tools I use to keep my horses feeling their best. It has been successful in relieving them of muscle soreness and also helping to relieve anxiety and nervousness at competition. My husband, Austin has also seen improvement with his Asthma symptoms with regular use of the torch. Whether it is the horses or us, when there is an ache or pain we use the torch to find relief.

Thanks so much,

Human Use- Psoriasis & Plantar Fascitis

   

January 2, 2006

Dear Marty,

I told you my acupuncture doctor was moving out of town and I didn't know what I was going to do about my psoriasis as he has treated me off and on for many years. It is the only thing that has ever helped except for toxic drugs. When you said the light would stimulate the acupuncture sites I was truly excited. When you have chronic disease you're willing to try anything for relief. After a short time of using the light, the itching and red scaling is much improved.

I decided to try the torch on my feet because your book said the light helps heals almost everything. I have had plantar fascitis for many years and at times it is so very painful to stand or walk. I used the light on my foot and in ONE treatment I could feel the difference. Now I use the light every day and I have been pain free for a month.

Thank you for making the "light "available. It is wonderful to have some relief for these chronic disorders. The convenience of being able to treat them at home is God sent.

Much success on your endeavors.

Joe and Vicki Slowiak-Burleson, TX

Human Use - Fibromyalgia

   

Dear Marty

My wife Vicki was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in July of 2004. With many dead-end treatments with doctors and specialists, Vicki was told she would have to live with this painful disorder and was prescribed painkillers and steroids to mask the condition. There is no known cure for the disorder.

My wife had always been petite and very active. After the ordeal with the doctors and gaining 50 pounds, she became suicidal, could not function, was fatigued, moody, and constantly in pain. Every day the pain was somewhere else. She even had to quit her job.

During The AQHA World Show, I ran into my friend Marty VanWinkle. I knew about her work with the torch and had heard about the success she'd had with horses and people. Even though she was a friend I was skeptical.

Having a booth at the World show selling my custom hauler trucks (The FX Transporter) required standing on concrete most of the day, causing my back to hurt. Using the Torch on my back brought great relief. I told Marty that the real test would be if the light could help Vicki.


At first I thought she was doing more damage. Then, she began to feel the pain go away. After working on Vicki for about two hours, she seemed her old self again. The rest of the weekend she felt great. We got home around Thanksgiving, and Vicki and I felt that we had a lot to be thankful for because the pain and symptoms seemed to be gone.

I am here to testify and thank Marty and her Photonic Torch. Today, almost a month later, my wife still feels great and has little if any pain. She has not used any painkillers or steroids since the World Show.

It is three days before Christmas now, and life is great again.

Thank you and may God bless you for the miracle I feel you did for Vicki and myself.

Dear Marty

I'm the happiest I've been in a long time. My horse "Road To Vegas" is back on his game of running barrels. He has been inconsistent and on and off for the past several years of competition. I've spent countless amounts of money on him at top vets, chiropractors and etc., only to still have an unsound horse. Anything over a walk in the pasture and he was head bobbing lame.

In late August my mother e-mailed Marty wanting to know as a last resort if the Torch might help my horse. She was confident that the light would help. We had her come to our place and discovered that Vegas was sore in other areas than just the feet. I purchased a Torch and began using it on his flexor tendons, front feet, and all other sore areas.

After a month using the Torch on Vegas, he began to start picking up his right lead, which he hadn't done in years. I use the torch on him several times a week, to help get the blood to his feet and tendons and to help in reducing the inflammation.

I started riding him a month ago, with noooo limp what so ever. He has been picking up his right lead and turning his first barrel better than ever. I took him to his first barrel race one week ago and placed fourth in the 1D.

I can't say enough about what the torch has done for my horse. It's given him back to me, when I had been told he would never run barrels again. I've run Vegas twice and brought home a check twice.

My mother told me that I'm the happiest she has seen me in a very long time. It's because I have "Vegas" back!!! Thank you Marty! I'm very appreciative of your Photonic Torch.

October 6, 2005

Our 16-year-old gelding has always been stiff in his neck but it had gotten worse over the past two years. He had developed a fear of the arena and it was evident that something was wrong. I had done everything that I knew to correct the problem but nothing was working. I saw Marty working on a horse at the IBRA Nationals and decided to give her and her Photonic Torch a try. She spent two hours working on him and found more problems than the neck stiffness. When she finished he was almost touching his flank with his head. He was SO LIMBER.

When I rode him to the gate to compete I was braced for his normal refusal. NO NEED!! He walked right in. The only problem now is I have to learn to ride him differently because he is so much more limber and supple. My belief in the Torch is solid. What a difference!! My daughter (Layton) was thrilled and can't believe that her old "Roany" is back.

Hopkinsville, KY

FOLLOW-UP.... Friends tell friends!!!

After the tremendous results that we experienced from your work on Roany at the IBRA Nationals, my wife was spreading the good news to some friends of ours who were having serious problems getting their barrel horse in the ring. The mare simply refused to go!!! She reared, pawed, ran backwards and just generally was dangerous. They asked me to use the light on her and I told them that I knew very little about it since I had just bought it from you but I would try. I found several tight spots in the horses neck and back and then began treating her with the light. I didn’t see the same signs from her that you got with Roany so I wasn’t sure that I had actually helped much.

I was wrong!!! That mare ran in the youth barrels and poles that day and never did anything other than walk in the ring. We were astounded. I gave our friend a printout off of your website and they are going to buy the light too.

WOW!!!

E-mail from Dr. Loew:

Thank you for creating this product!

I have suffered from an eczema like, flakey, itchy-scratchy skin rash about 4 X 6 inches for over 15 years on my right shin. During this time, I had seen numerous MD’s and Dermatologists without help. I had been prescribed 14 different prescription medications to treat staph/strep, fungus, yeast, inflammation and more. The list of over the counter medications was even more numerous. A vascular surgeon wanted to strip the veins of my leg. The dermatologist wanted me to wear compression stockings. Another dermatologist did a biopsy that became infected, landing me in a hospital for 10 days with Osteomyelitis, an incredibly painful infection of the bone and surrounding tissues. Chiropractic, Acupuncture and nutritional changes did not help. The area was always an eyesore of various forms of scabs, flaky scales, redness and infections. During this time, scar tissue had built up to almost a quarter inch thick over the wound. I could not wear shorts without people staring at my leg and asking what was wrong.

Enough of the bad stuff. Because I am a Chiropractor, I was very interested in another approach to this problem. One day, while scratching my leg, one of my patients ask me why I was scratching. I showed her the area and she immediately and confidently told me that she had something that would help. Later that week, she brought me your Photonic Torch to use. Desperation overcame my skepticism. I applied the therapy for 5 minutes a day, for 2 weeks. In that time, the scales, infection and most of the redness reduced by 75%. Over the next 2 months, the area has completely healed, the scar tissue build up has gone away and I am seeing the skin become more and more normal looking every day, without any more treatments. The hair has even returned to the area. Unless someone was to stare and look closely at my leg, one would not even notice the area anymore!

Once again, thank you! I have recommended this product to many of my patients that suffer from skin problems and soft tissue pains that have not responded to any other treatment.

Robert Wilson - Madison, MS

Equine Use

   

After four vet visits and one visit to a university vet school, and two nerve blocks up the leg to the hock, my 6 year old cutting horse was still lame in the back right leg. No answers, no solutions...
During the All American Youth barrell races held in Jackson, MS, someone told me about a lady from Kansas that was giving light wave therapy to barrel racing horses at the equine center. I loaded my cutting horse and went to Jackson hoping for some help.
For over 2 1/2 hours, my horse was worked on, from head to toe. The horses' response to the torch was amazing...licking, chewing and yawning. After the treatment on an area, Marty would re-examine the area by hand, and there would not be any residual soreness...it was that immediate. The next day I lightly worked my horse on cows with amazing results, still no giving on the back right leg. I purchased a torch the night Marty worked on my horse. I give him brief muscle exams every day. He has only needed one torch treatment since the initial work.
Funny thing is, my trainer is now asking me to work on other horses in the barn. Thank you Marty!!


UPDATE: Hope all is well.  This pic was taken at a cutting just yesterday.  Notice how the horse is pushing off with that "bad" back right leg.  We came in second with a 72.5,  got beat by a 73...we would have had a 73.5 but we had a one point deduction for one,working out of position. See you in a few weeks.
P.S.  When you are down here I would like to hang out with you for half a day or so and pick up some pointers if its o.k. with you. Thanks!

Equine use for behavioral problems

   
Marty, I really appreciate your help with Fred. In all the years I've been training horses professionally, this is the first time I've experienced behavioral problems of this nature and I was completely stumped. I'd had Fred for almost a year and was very happy with his progress under saddle when he began to spend hours walking up and down the side of his run. Then he started weaving and the weaving got more and more frantic in nature. Then when storm damage caused us to move him from his run to a stall, he was completely bonkers for hours every day, literally bouncing off the walls. On one of the worst days, when the temperature was in the 20's he had a steady stream of sweat running off his belly. Several people remarked that it would be more humane to just put him down, he seemed so completely miserable all the time. You and your PHOTONIC TORCH made a huge difference in Fred. His behavior is much more like it was when I got him. He's calm most of the time and only occasionally will weave for very short periods of time. I've felt like you really cared about Fred's well being. I appreciate all the extra research you did to try to unravel the multiple causes of Fred's behavior. I know he was a real project! He's still on the herbs you recommended-they seem to be helping him. Thanks again, Marty.    

 

 

 

George and Carol Wingate Paola, KS

Human Use- Surgery Recovery

   

On January 5, 2005 George had his right kidney removed for a milignant cancer. When we went to prep for surgery, they told us that this is one of the most painful surgeries anyone can go through. George was in the hospital 4 days. With all of the information that the doctors were giving us, the time line for recovery was one we were concerned with. They said 4 weeks George would even feel well enough to go outside, and approx. 6 weeks before he would be strong enough to return to shoeing horses again. We were very lucky that the cancer was contained to the kidney and George did not need radiation or chemo.

When we got George home we started using the "torch" in the area of the 13 inch incision, and the areas or the most soreness. He had a follow up in one week and the doctor was very surprised at how much the swelling had gone away, and he removed the 27 staples and just told us to be careful. George continued to use the "torch" daily on all areas. We applied refined emu oil to the incision and then the "torch". Within 2 weeks after the surgery, George was walking on the treadmill and helping me with the chores, carrying feed buckets one time a day (that is all I would let him do.) At the end of 3 weeks he was helping morning and night with feeding, and had started traveling with his brother 2 days a week on his shoeing route.

At George's 30 day check-up the doctor was totally astonished at how well he had healed up and at the activity he was able to do. George was released to go back to work 45 days following his surgery. We told the doctor what we were using on him and his response was, "I don't know anything about lights like that, but whatever you have done is incredible". Followed by Good Luck and Be Careful.

We truly feel that George's quick recovery was due to the use of the torch and the effectiveness of it.

Equine Use- Barrel Racing Horses

   

I want to thank Marty for the 5 hours she spent working on our two horses. The money and time is an investment in their future and we could not be more pleased with the results we have received from the Equinix Photonic Torch. We travel many highway miles throughout the year and the "torch" has kept our two horses running to their maximum potential. I highly recommend Equinix Photonic Torch. Thanks so much and be well!

My 12yr. old gelding, Dogs Tiger Too (Bailey) has been performing in barrel racing competitions for the last 4 years. He competes at some of the largest and toughest barrel racing competitions in the county. There's usually anywhere from 400- 800 each round, including 2 to 3 go-rounds each weekend. Bailey has qualified for every Finals go-round (except 1 in MS - hit barrel!!) constantly in the ID or 2D over the last 3 years. I know without a doubt there's no way his body could keep up with his strenuous schedule we run all throughout the year if it wasn't for the treatments of the Photonic Torch enabling him to perform at his "peak" ability. The PhotonicTorch is included in part of his daily grooming, with extra massage time given between runs at the shows. Bailey, as in most performance horses, has stressed muscles along his mid back, hips & stifles from such high speed hard turns. Treatments with the Photonic Torch keeps Bailey pain free, enabling him to perform at his "optimum" ability while performing all across the country. As an Equine Nutritonal' Specialist, I recommend the use of the Photonic Torch to all my customers to complete their overall horse maintenance program.

Human Use- Treating "Tennis Elbow"

   
I have been a master farrier since 1986 and have suffered from chronic pain in my elbow due to constant pounding on the anvil.  The doctors diagnosed me with what they term as "Tennis Elbow."  In 1994 the problem really elevated due to an injury I received while shoeing a mare that reared up.  I would have the elbow injected, but the pain would resurface.  Besides shaping shoes, using screw guns and hammers while building our house and barn advanced the pain even more. 
The pain would come from the hammer up through the elbow.  It was affecting my grip.  I couldn't take my sock off my left foot with my right hand.  I had just scheduled another injection when my wife saw an ad in the Barrel Horse News advertising the Equinix Photonic Torch.  My wife sent an email to get more information and found out that Marty was going to be in Skiatook Oklahoma that weekend, and she offered to come by and demonstrate the light.  It was unbelievable. After treating my elbow with the light all the pain was gone!  I could take my socks of both my feet with my right hand, and hammered a shoe on the anvil without pain.
Needless to say, I cancelled the injection and purchased a Torch to continue treatment and permanently heal my elbow.
I highly recommend the Equinix Photonic Torch if you're having any kind of pain.  It also works great on horses.

Equine Use- Gaited Horse

   
I thought you might like to see a more recent picture of Estrella. She is doing wonderful! My mouth drops when I watch her workout sessions. Her gaits are free and flowing works of art. I her mind has taken a while to come around, but that can not be remedied with the Equinix Photonic Torch.. What the light did, I believe was free up some tightness inside that had come about through years of abuse. I still use it on her periodically and can't tell if it works or she just likes being touched, but she is definitely moving better equally on both sides. I have been taking care of Navarre, the big black andalusian stallion, he almost foundered from being moved to a new farm and I am going to use the light on him.

Equine Use- Suspensory Ligament

 
I wanted to let you know how wonderful your Photonic Torch is. I purchased my torch from you at the Tulsa Winter Spectacular last year after you treated my paint gelding. I had purchased him 6 months prior to our meeting. He began limping 2 days after I bought him and the vet exam discovered he had a torn suspensory ligament on his front right leg. This was devastating. The outlook was pretty grim, the recovery time was going to be very lengthy and the outcome was uncertain. I cannot tell you how many people told me that he would probably never recover from an injury like that.
I followed my vet's instructions and we were seeing some progress, but it was very slow in coming and my gelding was getting frustrated. We finally got a clean ultrasound and I could begin doing light exercise with gradual increases in intensity. But, there were times that he would limp the next day and would have to have a day or so off.
After using the Photonic Torch on him every day with out fail, within 30 days he no longer limped after a tough workout or race.
I now use this light on my older gray gelding, who is a cribber, to keep him sound and feeling good. Thank you for showing me all of the uses for the Photonic Torch. I am training for the Disney World Marathon and am using it on the knee I injured in a marathon in 1998. I even started using it on my husband's and my corgi's

Thank you for working on my horse, William Hey Buddy, in Memphis, Tennessee during the EBFA Finals. Buddy wsa not quite right for almost three weeks. After you worked on him he made an awesome "Buddy" run. I didn't think that little light would really help, but the proof was in the 4th place run he made! Keep up the good work!"

Used the Photonic Torch to relieve elbow pain
   
I've been shoeing horses for 5 years. About the 4th year my elbow started hurting. The doctors and my chiropractor said it was Tennis Elbow and the only way to cure it was to take cortisone shots or slow down on my shoeing. I pretty much would have to stop shoeing horses. The first time I met Marty I was wearing an elbow brace with magnets in it, but it wasn't doing me any good. After I shod Marty's horses she gave me a demonstration treatment with the light, and it just worked wonders. In two weeks I stopped wearing my brace; then it started hurting again, so I went back and had Marty use her light on my elbow again, and it's just been great. It's been 5 months since I had the light used on me and I haven't worn my brace since. It was the best thing that could have happened to me because my business was on the line and the light brought me through it. All I can say is I have a light ordered and if you have any aches or pains I sure recommend it.

Hello Marty, Just sending you a note to let you know how thrilled I am with my torch! It has been a blessing to us and we've only had it about 10 days. We have a 6 year old mare which we raised who we have had high hopes for. We sent her to the track as a 2 and a 3 year old, but she always seemed to come up sore after being there a while. She would continually stand with one hind leg back behind her, and the other leg square underneath her. We had dome joint injections done on her at the track, but they didn't seem to give her much, if any, relief. An equine massage therapist worked on her before her last race, and she led that race for at least half of it, only to give up and quit trying. We then brought her home, turned her out for the winter and then went to riding her again these past 2 summers. She has periodically come up sore and it has been typical for her to be very touchy thorugh her hip and stifle areas, and we thought it was just part of her. After working her quite a bit this spring, she started parking that back leg behind her again and we knew we had to try something if there was any hope to get her going as a barrel horse. Wew are so glad to have talked to you and decided to give the torch a try. I have used it on her probably a half a dozen times, and after a few hours, she has really responded. She is going on day #5 and is standing square again. Yesterday she outran everything in the pasture....still showing no soreness as of today. I put another ride on her this morning and she feels a lot smoother. The bonus was I could brush her all over without her flinching and putting her ears back when you got to her backend. Finally I have hope to be able to get her going and not have to turn her out anymore!! Hope to meet you someday and wanted to tell you thanks for all the tips and a great little tool!

Equine Use- Five-Gated Champion Blue Ribbon Winner

   

I have seen a tremendous difference in my Saddlebred Ebony Masterpiece (Emma) since Marty has been using the photonic torch on her. We have been winning more. In Columbia, Missouri, "Emma" won the five-gaited championship beating two world champions. In Nebraska, she won both the qualifier and the championship classes. At the horse shows, countless people have commented on how good she looks. I attribute it all to the Photonic Torch. Before the light treatments she was good, but she seems to have turned a corner this year. Her motion has improved. Her muscles are looser, and she just seems more relaxed. You used to not be able to lift her tail to put it in a tail set...she hated that. Now, you can lift her tail with no problem. Her body even changed shape...she looks leaner and fit. Thanks Marty for introducing me to the Photonic Torch.

Uses the Photonic Torch to alleviate hip pain

   
My mother Ms. Slater is 88 years old has had chronic back pain due to a frozen hip joint for 63 years. This has caused a severe curvature of the spine that has continued to get worse with age. Since 1995 she has gotten cortisone shots in her lower lumbar every 3 months to relieve the pain. After using the Photonic light on her back for about 3 months I haven't had to take her to the Dr. for her cortisone shot for one year this past September 2003. I can't thank you enough for the Photonic Torch.

Uses the Photonic Torch for her dog, Scout

   
Scout tore her knee cap and after surgery was unable to get into a car or on the bed without assistance.  She carried most of her weight on her front end trying to protect her injured hind leg.  After you used the Photonic Torch on her, most of her lameness left and she now can jump into the car and on to the bed by herself.  And for the first time in months she's playing like a puppy.  Thanks for your help and the Photonic Torch.

My mare Babe had been running well, but had started wringing her tail and acting hateful.  I was at Connie Combs barrel clinic where Marty was demonstrating the Photonic Light.  I decided to have Babe checked to see if there was a reason for her behavior.  Marty checked Babe's muscle stress points, and her bladder meridian, and Babe let us know she was very sore.  Marty used the light on all the sore areas and you could tell Babe felt much better.  Babe and I won the Jack Pot Barrel Race later that day.  I have continued doing the light therapy on Babe, and she has stopped acting hateful, and wrings her tail only occasionally.  Thanks to the Equinix Photonic Torch I can keep Babe feeling good, and running pain free.

Peripheral Sensory Neuropathy Treatment

   

I have been using the light I bought from you for several months to treat my PERIPHERAL SENSORY NEUROPATHY. It has decreased my pain and restored flexibility to my ankles. I am working on my feet now as that is the only area that is still bothered. I no longer wake up from the pain this disease causes.

Thank you so much for bringing me to this wonderful state of pain relief that none of my medical doctors could provide outside of pain medication which I chose not to start. My thoughts were that if you could not feel the pain in your feet and legs you could cut yourself and not be aware of how serious you might have injured yourself. Respectfully, Linda

   
Heidi Rouse- Equine Use    
I wanted to let you know I have been "retraining" my filly to realize it is not going to be painful to give in to pressure going to the left. I have been working her everyday and she is doing much better. I rode her yesterday to work some calves and she was 150% better than before she was treated, so I have to say we have had some good success. I am going to give her some time to see if it is still soreness we are fighting or if it is just fear of possible pain. I will keep you posted. She is still not completely symmetrical, but a lot closer than we were even a few days ago....so maybe the spasms have let up since the treatment and she is learning it won't hurt anymore. Don't really know which, but something is making it better!!! I will keep you informed. Thanks a lot,

Hi - How are you? I came back to the Longview Horse Show on Sunday but you had already left.  I hope you did well there. Earl is not better.  I haven't been able to ride him in 3 weeks.  Your therapy has been the only thing to help him so far.  I'd like to order one of your photonic torches so that I can hopefully keep him going. Just let me know the process. Thanks!    
   
Taylor Troutman - Willis, TX - Car Broken into and Torch Stolen    
Hi, thanks for the email. I just now thought that I didn't give you my number, duh. I definately want to purchase the light and thanks so much for the good deal. This whole ordeal has been a pain and very costly, the worst part of it is that it's so violating. Thanks for your compassion, I appreciate it. I have the card number, I will call you in the morning with the information, I have a break in the morning and will call you around 9:00 am. Could you possibly get it in the mail tomorrow morning so that I can use it before my big barrel races sat and sun? I have really grown to depend on it, I think the horses have too. I really appreciate you. I will call you tomorrow. Taylor

My 5 year old, futurity horse Easy Quest Ta Fame (Nellie) had been running fairly successfully at the futurities. She had begun ringing her tail all throughout her run and was not running to her full potential. I met Marty of Equinix Photonic Torch and had her look at the mare. "Nellie" was very sore, mostly in the hind end. Marty worked on her for nearly 2 hours. The next day, in the open race Nellie ran .5 second faster to clock 17.218 on a standard pattern. She won the open that day and ran yet another 17.242 the following day to win 4th in the round and the average at Parker, Colorado. There were 250+ entries and several very tough pro horses. I was very proud of Nellie and very greatful to have met Marty and her Photonic Torch. I was so amazed at what Marty could do for my horse that I bought a Torch. Nellie is still running great and in fact, I took her to her first rodeo and she won it!!! Thank you Marty for all you have done for Nellie!!!

Before treatment

 

After treatment

This horse sustained an eye injury and had been treated for 6 months with no improvement.  Scar tissue had built up over the eye and the vet suggested that they take the eye out.  The owner heard about the Photonic Torch and called to see if we thought it would help save the eye.  Not knowing if it would help, but willing to try, we agreed to do trial treatments on the eye to test the Photonic Torch's effectiveness on this type of injury. 

The results have been promising!  We are continuing to do further treatments in the trial.
