Spasmodic Dysphonia: Winifred's Bioptron Testimonial

16 Feb 2012

Dear Nena,

It was in the year 2000, I lost my voice.

I started with Speech Therapy, no good. Sent to Auckland to Dr Bren Dorman, top throat specialist in North Island. Diagnoses, spasmodic dysphonia. We never heard of it. Not many people have. Very rare.

I never had any pain at all and no wonder this problem came from the brain. We went to Auckland every 4 months for Botox injection into the voice box. this paralyzed half of my voice box and I could speak clearer.

Had Botox for 4 and a half years. When we went to Sydney to Dr. Cole he operated on me and cut my voice box in half, inserted two silicon chips to keep it open. I spoke for 3 months and then no voice.

This was comparatively new and I was desperate to try anything to speak. I felt so lonely not being able to communicate, as I am a very outgoing person. We thought, well, we have to go back for more Botox. My last injection left me. I could hardly breathe. Dr Dorman operated and I had to cut bad muscle to open up airways so I could breathe. He told me no more, too dangerous. He was very kind and sorry for me.

One day at Bayfair we just came across Zepter Bioptron Therapy and we bought a lamp. Then visited the library to find out exactly the part of brain to treat. It was the ganglia on the left side of the head just above the ear and going around between the ears then back of head. Colour purple 2 mins each spot above left ear and behind ear. Then white light 4 mins.

3 weeks later my voice was clear, started coming bit by bit. I know beyond all doubt this is indeed my miracle. I prayed for 7 years and never lost faith.

We love our Bioptron lamp and my husband uses it regularly. He has no scars after 2 new knee replacement in 4 months.

We were told there is no cure for spasmodic dysphonia. But we know this is it! It worked for me!

Yours sincerely,
Mrs Winifred Kerr
