Their professional journey includes operating a separate business called Simplified Functional Medicine. Dr. Wells has a background in chiropractic education and a deep interest in the multifaceted applications of laser therapy within healthcare.
Episode Summary:In this captivating episode of the "Laser Light Show," Dr. Chad Woolner and Dr. Andrew Wells delve into the intriguing concept of the "Russian Laser Conspiracy." The show captures the essence of how lasers, particularly low-level laser therapy, play a significant role in Russian healthcare—so much so that it's become a staple in most households. Through an engaging narrative, the hosts explore the historical and current impact of laser therapy in Russia, drawing contrasts with its presence in the United States healthcare system.
The discussion sheds light on the extensive research and application of laser therapy in Russia since the 1960s, illuminating how these practices have become ingrained in their medical protocols. Dr. Wells and Dr. Woolner ponder the disparity between the Russian adoption of laser therapy and the more pharmaceutical-driven approach prevalent in the U.S. They debate potential reasons behind the limited mainstream awareness of laser therapy's benefits despite substantial supportive research, hinting at systemic and possibly conspiratorial factors. The dialogue evolves around the potential influence that the profitability of pharmaceuticals has had on healthcare decisions and practices.
Key Takeaways: Laser therapy is widely used in Russia and has been part of their healthcare system for decades, often deemed more trustworthy than pharmaceuticals. There is a cultural and systemic contrast between the Russian and U.S. healthcare systems' adoption and trust in laser therapy versus pharmaceutical solutions. The U.S. lags behind in the broad application of laser therapy, potentially due to the significant lobbying power of the pharmaceutical industry. Russians' trust in lasers over pharmaceuticals raises questions about the differences in healthcare models and outcomes between Russia and the U.S. The episode advocates for broader utilization of laser therapy in various medical fields due to its wide range of applications and benefits. Notable Quotes: "Every single house had a laser... that was just a government-issued laser." "It starts with us thinking about things that way. What's not going to happen? Very likely, I wish it would. But us making a plea to the government saying, hey, lasers are going to help Americans live healthier lives, that's going to get knocked down pretty quickly because there's no business." "The question is, if this is such a great modality and it works, and it's proven to work, how do you get in the hands of more people?" "It's no wonder that all of a sudden all of these doctors are going to be using lasers as part of their kind of standard of care there."

Episode Summary:
In this enthralling episode of the Laser Light show, Dr. Chad Woolner and Dr. Andrew Wells dive into the intricate world of therapeutic lasers and LEDs, deciphering the myths and laying out the facts. The duo brings light to the significant differences between the two technologies, with an engaging discourse that merges personal anecdotes, clinical insights, and solid science.
The powerhouse pair from the chiropractic field clears the mist surrounding LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) and lasers, highlighting the profound impact true laser therapy has in medical applications. They emphasize Erconia's pioneering contribution to laser therapy and share vivid stories demonstrating the immediate and effective results that lasers have produced in their clinical experience. This conversation is a deep dive into why wavelength specificity and laser coherence matter more than one might think.
Key Takeaways: Lasers provide a coherent and monochromatic light source, leading to more efficient energy absorption and therapeutic benefits compared to the scattered light from LEDs. Erconia lasers use a precise 635-nanometer wavelength, proven to be most effective for cellular function, unlike the variable range in LEDs. The concentrated nature of laser light allows for targeted therapy, enhancing specific cellular repair and communication on the injured site. LEDs often serve as a placebo in controlled studies, but true laser therapy shows a significant gap in clinical effectiveness compared to LEDs. There is a need to differentiate LED therapy from laser therapy to avoid misconceptions about the efficacy of true laser treatments. Notable Quotes: Dr. Andrew Wells: "So the question is, what's the difference between red light and laser light? Is there a difference? Does it matter if there's a difference?" Dr. Chad Woolner: "The science doesn't back it up [that LEDs do the same thing as Erchonia lasers]." Dr. Andrew Wells: "With erchonia lasers, you can directly target certain areas in the body." Dr. Chad Woolner: "Erchonia lasers are absolutely incredible. Can't say enough good things about them and about the company." Resources:The resources mentioned include the Erchonia website for further exploration of laser therapy science and technology.

Listeners of "The Laser Light Show," today we bring to our show a chiropractor with a unique journey and an innate passion for holistic healing: Dr. Dennis Mariano.
Raised amidst a lineage of medical professionals, Dr. Mariano's early life was surrounded by physicians, including his mother, aunt, and uncle, with many other family members serving diligently as nurses and doctors. However, despite this deep-rooted connection to conventional medicine, it was chiropractic care that would become Dr. Mariano’s true calling, and this decision arose from a deeply personal experience.
While attending a college gymnastic class, a mishap during a pommel horse vault led to a fall that, albeit not immediately painful, had unforeseen consequences. Weeks later, he was gripped by persistent stomach pains. Despite consulting multiple medical specialists, a resolution remained elusive. Yet, in what seemed like a twist of fate, a co-worker's suggestion led him to explore chiropractic care. The outcome was nothing short of miraculous. Not only were his stomach pains alleviated, but he also witnessed a remarkable decline in severe allergy and hay fever symptoms that had plagued him for years. This transformative experience sparked a fascination that eventually culminated in Dr. Mariano choosing chiropractic care as his life's mission.
Fast forward to today, with over 25 years at the helm of his own practice, Dr. Mariano has been a beacon of hope for countless patients. He's borne witness to numerous transformative recoveries, ranging from young children to dedicated athletes and loving parents. These success stories fuel his passion and reaffirm his belief in the holistic approach of chiropractic care.
Committed to being at the forefront of his field, Dr. Mariano routinely attends continuing education classes. This dedication to constant learning enables him to gain fresh insights, achieve additional certifications, and unearth innovative methods that further benefit his patients.
Dr. Mariano isn't just an advocate for chiropractic care; he embodies its principles. His personal wellness regimen includes weekly chiropractic sessions, consistent exercise, and a nutritious diet enriched with organic foods. He also utilizes Science Based Nutrition testing to ensure he's nourishing his body optimally. This commitment to health is a family affair, with his wife and sons also reaping the benefits of regular chiropractic care.
As we dive into today's episode focusing on the nuances of low-level laser therapy, Dr. Dennis Mariano’s profound experience and insights promise an enlightening and enriching discussion. Let's begin!
