At age 69, on both my right and left hands I have easily visible

calcium spurs. These come with age and with diseases such as

Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Calcium spurs limit the range

of motion of the fingers, interfering with the normal range of finger

dexterity. As they grow through time, more and more pain can be

noticed, and certainly the range of motion is decreased accordingly.

More than a year ago the second joint from the end of my finger,

next to the little one on the left hand, became inflamed, and stayed that

way day after day, throughout the year. It was aggravated not only by

typing but also by young ladies using that finger joint to hang on to

whenever I led them through swing dance patterns to which they were

unaccustomed. The reflex action to grab on and hold is instinctive, and

it just happens that the most convenient joint was the one already

inflammed.

When the joint pain and inflammation finally reached the level

where it interfered with dancing and typing, I got my hands X-rayed,

to learn for the first time the gross shape and size of the calcium spurs.

My allopathic physician handed me some very strong pain-killers

with the advice to "use these on a full stomach." The package insert

gave more dire warnings -- but I did use almost a full bottle, taking one

sparingly only as needed, and from time to time. I also wiped DMSO

(dimethylsulfoxide) on that joint several times each day.

That's when I began to search for alternatives, otherwise my

writing days would be ended, and probably much of my dancing, in

other words, almost the whole of the remainder quality time of my

life.

I asked various physicians for solutions and learned of several

options: (1) Use surgery to cut off the calcium spurs, a process that

seems filled with bad consequences, and surely would not solve the

reason for my body building these spurs, (also see "Magnetic

Resonance Bio-Oxidative Therapy for Rheumatoid and Other Degen-

erative Diseases," www.arthritistrust.org.)(2) Use Chinese herbal

medicine, coupled with diet, to change the biochemistry of the body.

A disadvantage is the problem, where I live, of finding the proper

herbs and foods, and then to prepare everything properly. However,

it's worth a try. (3) Sclerotherapy was suggested, but was already

receiving excellent sclerotherapy treatment. This is an excellent tool

for restoring body structure but not for ridding the body of already

embedded calcium spurs. (See "Treatment of First Choice for Osteoar-

thritis and for Other Arthritic-like Pain: Sclerotherapy, Proliferative

Therapy," www.arthritistrust.org.) Also called "Prolo" or "Prolifera-

tive Therapy," or "Reconstructive Therapy," Sclerotherapy can

prevent spurs but not excise them. (4) Chelation Therapy removes

calcium from the blood, but if it takes any calcium away from calcium

spurs, to reduce them, it mustdo so so minutely as to be unnoticeable.

I've had 84 EDTA chelations to otherwise good effect (by year 2003,

105) and 9 DMSO IVs, but this abundance of treatments had not

stopped the growth of the calcium spurs. (See "Chelation Therapy,"

www.arthritistrust.org) (One physician suggested ultrasonics/chela-

tion, which sounds hopeful. (5) Homeopathic remedy (Calcium lactat

0 28.5 mg; Calcium fluoratum trit. D4 50 mg; Urtica trit. D1 3.5

mg.), which is also worth a try.

At this point, I called Burton Goldberg

, the man who had

established The Holistic Book Project, and who had canvassed

virtually all of the world's alternative/complementary/holistic medical

fields for the purpose of producing a book, Alternative Medicine: The

Definitive Guide.

Burton looked through his index card file and came up with a

person who claimed that a combination of the use of a Light Beam

Generator and lymphatic system massage, coupled with proper diet,

had been curing the problems of calcium spurs, tendonitis, varicose

veins and chronic hepatitis.

"What an odd combination!" I thought, and "What is the com-

monality between all of these?"

On further investigation, we learned that the Light Beam Genera-

tor was researched at the ELF Laboratories, Inc., RR #1, Box 21, St.

Francisville, IL 62460, (618) 948-2393, and that it was used primarily

along with a specialized light massage of the lymphatic system.

One of this foundation's board members and I visited ELF

Laboratories, where we were treated with wonderful courtesy. (As a

special bonus, we also met electronic design consultant, Ed Skilling,

now 75 years of age, and a man who had had access to Royal Raymond

Rife's notes and some of Rife's original equipment.)

ELF Laboratories made no medical claims of their Light Beam

Generator, but did answer every question we placed before them.

During a period of about 45 minutes of conversation around a

conference table, I held the Light Beam Generator to the above

described chronically inflammed joint.

Surprise!

In about 30 minutes the inflammation and pain was totally gone

for the first time in more than a year.

Years later the pain is still gone.

Now understand, the calcium spurs are still there, and so is the

limited range of motion in that joint. But the pain and inflammation is

gone!

Considering these striking and fantastic results in so short a

period of time, The Arthritis Trust of America/The Rheumatoid

Disease Foundation felt that the Light Beam Generator warranted

further and closer inspection, and for that reason this Foundation sent

a certified masseur, Tom Gervais, to a lymphatic massage 3-day

training session in California. The following is a brief resume of what

Tom Gervais enthusiastically reported:

The combined use of the ELF International Ltd. Light Beam
