New Medicine Based On An 88-Year Old Theory By Albert Einstein Can Help Almost Everyone Who Is Sick Or Injured!
FDA Over-The-Counter Approved For
Pain Resulting From Osteoarthritis of the Hand!
What you are about to read
may be the most important information you’ve ever read. Here is why.
Albert Einstein was, quite possi-
bly, the most intelligent person who ever lived. His theories and ideas were so far ahead of his time, that even now, the smartest scientists alive are still discovering his value. One of his theories published in
1917, worked out the theory of how lasers function. However, it was not until May 16, 1960 (43 years later) that the first actual laser was developed by an American scientist. Since then, scientists and inventors have developed many types of lasers and all kinds of uses for them. They can be used as a scalpel that is so delicate, it can be used on the eyes of human beings. Lasers are used to read price codes at your local supermarkets. And they're used to play music and video on your CD's and DVD's. But now, there is a new type of
laser so effective against human disease and injury that it is rapidly changing the practice of medicine. This is a new type of low-level laser which produces an unfo- cused light that has been...

Low-level lasers use less than
one watt of power and they pro- duce what can best be described as a "Healing Light". Here is a somewhat un-scientif-
ic description of how this "Healing Light" can cure the damage done by human sickness and disease.

As you probably know, our
entire bodies are made up of human cells. The health of all human cells is based on energy. If your cells don't receive enough energy, they will weaken and the body will become sick. For you to be healthy, what your
cells need is exactly the right kind and the right amount of energy. Every time you get injured or become sick, the energy flow to your cells is disrupted. Until the proper type and amount of energy is restored, you will remain sick or injured. That's what a low-level laser
device does. It re-energizes the cells in your body with the right kind and proper amount of healing energy. It may surprise you to learn that
low level lasers are ...
Used By Doctors To Heal
Their Patients In The Fastest Way Possible!
Could you guess what kind of doc-
tors use the highest percent of low- level lasers on their patients? It's doctors involved in sports medicine. Why? The answer is sim- ple. You see, doctors involved in sports medicine often have to get their patients better in the fastest way humanly possible because every day he remains "unhealthy" can cost the sports organization mil- lions of dollars. But here's something exciting!
You don't actually need to go to a doctor to get laser therapy. If you
want to you can buy one of these devices and use it on yourself. The best ones come with simple, easy- to-follow instructions and can be used by almost any person with average intelligence. Perhaps the best low-level lasers
in the world have been invented by a doctor named Larry Lytle. He has
turn it on, you will be able to see the laser light... but... you will not be able to feel it. There probably won't even be a sensation of warmth. Laser light is as gentle as the kiss of a butterfly. But, from a healing point of view, it is quite possible it is more effective than drugs or surgery. Low-level laser therapy is not just
the medicine of the future. For many people who know about it, it is the "medicine" they use now. The prob- lem of trying to explain the healing powers of low-level laser therapy is...
It WorksSoWellOn
So Many Different Problems, It Seems Like It Couldn't Possibly Be True!
But it is true! As mentioned earli-
er, all injury and illness creates an interruption of energy to the cells of the human body. The body will never recover until the proper amount and type of energy is restored to these cells. But once that energy is restored...
The Body Can Recover From Almost Everything!
With the correct equipment, properly used, low-level lasers have been clinically shown to reduce pain, reduce inflammation, increase cellular energy, increase cell permeability (so that the nutri- ents the cell needs to heal can get into the cell) and even help correct faulty DNA!* What you have just read is a very simplistic (almost childish) explana- tion of low-level laser therapy, of how it works, and what it can do for you.

Highlights of the Nuclear Posture Review
A look at some key comparisons between President Obama’s Nuclear Posture Review, released Tuesday, and the George W. Bush administration’s 2002 NPR.
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION
The purpose and use of U.S. nuclear weapons
The United States will not use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against nonnuclear weapons states that are party to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and in compliance with their nuclear nonproliferation obligations.
The fundamental role of U.S. nuclear weapons is to deter nuclear attack on
the United States, its allies and partners.
If biological threat grows, U.S. reserves right to adjust assurance.
•New START: 1,550 strategic warheads would be deployed.
• Increase investments in the nuclear weapons complex, addressing aging infrastructure.
New weapons and testing
• No nuclear testing: Pursue ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.
• No new nuclear warheads: Life Extension
Programs (LEPs) will use only previously tested designs and not support new military missions or provide for new military capabilities.

ANALYSIS
New nuclear policy shows limits
Arms treaty Obama will
sign with Russia has only modest changes
by Mary Beth Sheridan
In a landmark speech in Prague last year, President Obama pledged to “put an end to Cold War thinking” and move toward a world without nuclear weapons. This week, that soaring vision came down to Earth, with the is- suance of a new policy reflecting the limits the president faces. Obama’s nuclear policy breaks with the past by narrowing the circumstances under which the U.S. government says it will use the devastating weapons. But on one point after another, the changes are gradual rather than transformational.
Although a senior White House
official had predicted, for exam- ple, that the policy would “point to dramatic reductions in the stockpile,” the document released Tuesday mentions only the mod- est cuts included in a new treaty the president is scheduled to sign with Russia on Thursday. Officials said that further shrinkage of the nuclear arsenal will come through a second round of negoti- ations with Russia that are expec- ted to be drawn-out and difficult. The new document is less am- biguous about the purposes of nu- clear weapons than in the past, saying their “fundamental role” is to deter a nuclear attack. But it shies away from declaring that their “sole purpose” is deterrence, as some Democratic lawmakers and arms-control activists had wanted. That leaves open the pos- sibility that the weapons can be used in some other scenarios, such as in response to a conven- tional attack. Further, while Obama in his presidential campaign had called for taking U.S. nuclear weapons off “hair-trigger alert,” the mili- tary balked. The document in- stead adopts compromise meas- ures aimed at giving leaders more time to decide whether to launch nuclear weapons in a crisis. Hans M. Kristensen, a nuclear expert at the Federation of Amer-
ican Scientists, noted that the new policy highlights the eventu- al goal of a world without nuclear weapons. However, he said, “the document is surprisingly cautious in terms of the measures that will move us there, because it essen- tially retains current U.S. nuclear policy.”
Analysts said Obama’s policy
reflects the hard reality of ad- vancing an agenda that has not at- tracted enthusiastic support among the American public or lawmakers and has raised some opposition in the U.S. military. Obama needs support for his nu- clear policies in Congress, start- ing with ratification of the new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) with Russia. The new document “is clearly thought through and written in a way to be the best posture review that President Obama could do that would attract 67 votes to rat- ify the new START treaty,” said George Perkovich, a nuclear ex- pert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The policy document, known as
the Nuclear Posture Review and mandated by Congress, drives nu- clear investments and war-plan- ning for five to 10 years. It does break with some pol- icies of George W. Bush’s adminis- tration, most notably in putting unprecedented emphasis on the nuclear threat from terrorists and rogue states, as opposed to nu- clear powers such as Russia and China. “There’s more realization that our nuclear competitors that are states already are basically de- terred,” Perkovich said. The em- phasis on post-Cold War threats will change priorities at the Pen- tagon and in budgeting for non- proliferation activities, he said. Peter D. Feaver, a former de- fense and strategy official in the Clinton and George W. Bush ad- ministrations, wrote on Foreign- Policy.com that the new docu- ment is not “the bold leap that wins plaudits in academic semi- nar rooms, activist think-tanks and Norwegian parliaments.” Rather, he wrote, it reflects the kind of pragmatism Obama has shown in foreign policy decisions on Iraq and Afghanistan: “Critics may complain that this results in
BUSH ADMINISTRATION
Nuclear weapons “provide credible military options to
deter a wide range of threats, including WMD [weapons of mass destruction] and large-scale conventional military force.”
—from 2002 Nuclear Posture Review
“We’ve got all options on the table, because we want to make it very clear to nations that you will not threaten the United States or use weapons of mass destruction against us or our allies or friends.”
—President Bush
• 1,700-2,200 strategic warheads would be deployed.
• Large-scale revitalization of the nation’s nuclear weapons infrastructure.
• Review calls for “a revitalized nuclear weapons complex that will . . . be able, if
directed, to design, develop, manufacture, and certify new warheads
in response to new national requirements” as well as “maintain readiness to resume underground nuclear testing if required.”

a lack of strategic clarity . . . but perhaps it will come to be seen as a politically deft balance of com- peting desiderata.” In fashioning a new nuclear
policy, Obama faced not only do- mestic political constraints but international ones as well. Some countries expressed nervousness about any changes that would ap- pear to weaken the U.S. nuclear “umbrella” protecting them, offi- cials said. Defense Secretary Robert M.
Gates said officials had wrestled in interagency meetings with how much they could change U.S. pol- icy and had even considered a U.S. commitment not to use nu- clear arms first in a conflict. However, he said at a news con- ference: “We didn’t think we were far enough along the road of get- ting control of nuclear weapons around the world to limit our- selves so explicitly. . . . We recog- nize we need to make progress moving in the direction the presi- dent has set. But we also recog- nize the real world we continue to live in.” In the end, the policy settled for
saying that the “fundamental role” of the U.S. arsenal is deter- rence. It also clears up the ambi- guity about whether the United States would use its arsenal to at- tack a nonnuclear country. Unlike the Clinton and Bush administra- tions, the Obama team says it would not authorize a nuclear strike against a nonnuclear coun- try in retaliation for a chemical or biological attack. But it attaches important ca-
veats: The nonnuclear country must be in compliance with its nonproliferation obligations un- der international treaties, which leaves Iran on the list of potential targets. And the U.S. government reserves the right to change its mind if biological weapons be- come more powerful. Officials said nuclear arms re-
ductions continue to be driven by the need to maintain “approxi- mate parity” with Russia, the oth- er nuclear giant. It might lead to “misperceptions, misunderstand- ings” if one side sharply reduced its arsenal, said James Miller, a senior Defense Department offi- cial.

FDA food-plant inspections down, auditor finds
“If the FDA does not routinely
by Lyndsey Layton
The number of federal inspec- tions of food-manufacturing fa- cilities, and enforcement actions triggered by those inspections, has decreased, a government au- ditor reported Tuesday. Officials blamed the situation on inade- quate staffing and resources. Between fiscal 2004 and 2008,
the Food and Drug Administra- tion inspected fewer than half of the 51,229 facilities that it reg- ulates, the inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services said. In addition, the number of reg-
ulatory actions prompted by in- spections fell from 614 in fiscal 2004 to 283 in fiscal 2008, the re- port found.
inspect food facilities, it is un- able to guarantee that these facil- ities are complying with applica- ble laws and regulations,” the in- spector general reported. The finding echoed com- plaints by congressional critics, the Government Accountability Office, consumer groups, indus- try associations and President Obama, who have said the FDA lacks modern enforcement tools and adequate resources to keep the nation’s food supply safe. Since taking office, the Obama administration has increased funding for the FDA, and the agency has stepped up enforce- ment activity. A major food-safety bill pend- ing on Capitol Hill would require regular inspections for all food
facilities and give the FDA sig- nificant new enforcement pow- ers. The bill easily passed the House in July but has been stuck in the Senate. Food-safety laws have not changed markedly since 1938, when Congress gave the FDA the power to oversee the safety of most foods, as well as drugs and cosmetics. Michael R. Taylor, the FDA’s
deputy commissioner for foods, said the inspector general’s re- port makes the case for the bill’s passage. “We need legislation that will
direct us and empower us to be proactive, not reactive,” he said. “The legislation pending in Con- gress will open up entirely new and much more effective ways to do prevention.”
