Who knew ……
Just one Cigarette Butt has the potential to pollute 200 litres of water !!
This astonishing fact, when multiplied by the number of Butts in the two 1.5L bottles above – collected over a period of just two hours – have the potential to pollute something like 160,000 Litres …
that’s 35,000 GALLONS
And we thought our problems were all about Plastic !!!
The Good News is ….
The Lightworks Clinic can help you Quit Smoking
Photobiomodulation …. It’s a bit of a mouthful, but this is the ‘new’ word that is now 
used to define all Therapies that use Light as their medium. Thankfully it is more often than not abbreviated to …. PBM !!
Read the Review in the latest edition of the journal Photobiomodulation, Photomedicine and Laser Surgery written by its Editor-In-Chief, Michael Hamblin
The new wording however, does not change the way light works and interacts with every cell in the body.
Photobiomodulation (aka Laser Therapy) succeeds directly because of its intricate interaction with tissue – it supplies energy, in the form of photons (packets of light energy) to cells that are compromised – whether stressed, injured or diseased – and is used to help heal wounds, control infection, strengthen tendons and ligaments or mend fractured bones.
In more detail ….
In their normal state, cells already use bio-photons from the cells’ own DNA, not only to communicate with each other, but in the manufacture of ATP (Adenosine-Tri-Phosphate) – which is the energy cells need in order to do their ‘job’.
PBM doesn’t ‘mask’ what’s wrong with the cells, nor does it take their job away like some drugs do…. it merely offers compromised cells ‘energy’ – in a form the cells already know how to use – thus allowing them to function to their optimum level.
It is only a change in name, the Therapy stays the same – however PBM does more accurately describe the effect light has on tissue …..
Photo (light) – Bio (of the body) – Modulation (adjustment)
So there you have it !!
Mental Awareness Week should be EVERY week … it doesn’t just ‘Go Away’ on Friday !!!
Mental Distress can strike Anyone, at Any Time – the problem is that it can’t be seen.
We give sympathy and consideration, time and good wishes to anyone with a broken leg … so why don’t we do the same for an injured Mind ? The fact that it can’t be seen or touched, shouldn’t prevent us from giving the same TLC and Understanding.
Let’s rethink our approach ….
Well, what a month of contrasts February was …
However March is now upon us, with fresh winds and lighter days,
heralding Spring just around the corner !!
