Dear Steve,

Yesterday, I told you a story that, to me, really relates to the new BioPhotonic Scanner. I believe this explains where we are and where we are to go from here! Get ready, it will probably be a "roller coaster" ride!

About 12 years ago, two surgeons came to my office (in Shreveport, La. at that time) to talk with me. They were not the surgeons that I usually used, not because I didn't like them, but because I routinely used another group. They had just come back from training on a new procedure, Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (Gall Bladder removal with the Bandaid surgery.) They wanted to know if I could send them a couple of patients who needed their Gall Bladders removed. I said, "Sure", they were fairly good surgeons, and they were nice guys.

Now, let me explain. A routine Gall Bladder surgery involved a huge incision, they recuperated for 1 week in the hospital, and it took 6 weeks to get them back to work. This new surgery involved a quite small incision, 1-2 days in the hospital, and back to work in 1 week. I explained this to a couple of patients and they said, "Of course, I would like to do that!" Well, the surgeries were huge successes with very happy patients. Before long, I was sending all my patients to them for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomies. Now, Gall Bladders are a surgeon's "bread and butter". But the other surgeons in town said, "Nah, that's just a fad, it'll blow over soon." But it wasn't long until all the surgeons I knew were going off to learn how to do the Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.

In short, folks, we have the newest device around that will soon change the face of Medicine! A lot of doctors will "pooh-pooh" what it means, but they will be left behind in our dust. The marketplace dictates what gets done, and the patients will start demanding to know their "antioxidant level", and they will gravitate to the doctors who know what to do to raise their levels appropriately.

Have you ever gotten your cholesterol, blood sugar, etc. checked at a Health Fair, and then were told to go to a doctor for evaluation and treatment? Do you see where I am going with this? But the advantage is - You will have the tool to fix the problem right there - LIFE PAK! They will be able to get a follow-up in 60 days, and they will see a difference. Over time, their doctors will see the difference.

We are on the cutting edge of a huge shift in medical care for those who choose to be healthy. The marketplace will demand it, and we are the only ones that have it! In the beginning we will encounter some resistence, but that will soon subside.

Where were you when the BioPhotonic Scanner was released?

I plan to be in the "Great Big Middle of It!"
