Lupus and Glaucoma

Dear Maria,

Re: Bioptron Polarized Light Therapy on Lupus Erythematosus & Glaucoma

I am a widow of 62 years and have had Lupus for 40 of those years. The particular Lupus I have affects my face and head worst. My face has for all this time been covered with large red patches which are always wet, raw and sometimes weep. I have used many creams, and seen doctors and specialists - all to no avail. Naturally, this has also severely affected my self-esteem and entire well-being. In addition, I am a beneficiary and unable to afford the ongoing costs of doctors' bills and medication.

In November of last year I was diagnosed with Glaucoma and told my vision would continue to deteriorate and I could expect to have an operation on my eyes in the very near future. My brain cells would also slowly die. I was devastated.

On April 9th you began treating me with the Bioptron Light, working on all the facial patches and the glaucoma. Apart from the week over Easter and the weekends, you have treated me daily.

I am most happy to say that after these three weeks, I am able to touch my face for the first time in 40 years. I just love the feel of my skin. I also am happy to look in the mirror, often. I have skin where before I only had raw open patches. Where the contour of my face was uneven I am rebuilt and the overall size of the patches has decreased.

After being diagnosed with glaucoma, 46% pressure in one eye and 42% in the other I was prescribed two different forms of eyedrops, Xalathan and Timoptol, by my specialist. At my three-month checkup in February using only the eyedrops, the pressure had dropped to 37% and 25%.

After using the Bioptron Light from 9 April my checkup on 3 May showed a drop in pressure to 11% and 9%. That operation is off in the distance now. I am also noticing my driving night vision is very much improved. In addition, I seem to have lots more energy, and better quality sleep.

I just wanted to share this with you in the hope that others may have the courage to try out this effective, harmless treatment.

Grateful thanks
