        <string>"... I have been using conventional light therapy for over three years in my home care practice and for the past 6 months I have been testing the Photizo® device. I found that light therapy does not always works for all wounds, but the Photizo® device is a great step forward for wound care especially in home care situations.  It is portable, easy to use and in the cases where I used it, I could notice a much faster healing (up to 5 times) compared with the other light therapy device.  I was able to heal wounds that were treated before with high tech dressings for many months without success.  The doctors and patients were impressed with the fast and lasting success of the Photizo® device." </string>

        <string>"...I was used to high tech dressings and was sceptical to use light therapy for my patients.  It took me a while before I was convinced to try the Photizo® device.  The first patient I treated did not seem to heal markedly quicker, but told me that she could once again sleep at night since the usual pain was gone for hours after the light therapy session.  The next patient (a diabetic having a chronic foot ulcer) did, however, heal in 7 days.  The patient's doctor and I were astonished, as this patient had been treated for 7 months with high tech dressings without clear signs of healing.  For the past 3 months I have thus been using the Photizo® device to heal all my difficult to heal wounds, with great patient satisfaction."</string>

        <string>"...I brought Gabriel (domestic shorthair cat) to Mayville Animal Clinic in December 2001, when she was diagnosed with Snuffles. We tried every anti-biotic available but Gabriel was never cured. After ten sessions of 15 minutes each (5 consecutive days respectively each time for 15 minutes) with the Photizo Light Therapy Device the condition has dramatically improved. For the first time, since December 2001, Gabriel's nasal passages have been free of mucous. She breathed freely. I would highly recommend the use of the Photizo machine, it has had miraculous results with a chronic disease that could not be healed through more conventional methods."</string>

        <string>"I am a quadriplegic and a nasty pressure sore developed in April 2005. My nurse tried all sorts of treatments, including putting me on a machine to try and close the wound. After several months, she recommended that I should see a Surgeon. As surgery is NOT an option for me personally, I made contact with a Physiotherapist, who did laser therapy on the wound twice a week. The wound slowly started to heal. She then found out about the Photizo machine and in July 2006, I started using the light therapy once a day. The results have been fantastic as in 2 months the wound has closed from 5 cm x 4 cm and 5 cm deep (the bone was exposed) to 2 cm x 1.5 cm with the depth varying between 1 mm to .7 mm in the undermined area of the wound. I have also found the Photizo excellent in preventing potential pressure sores from developing."</string>

        <string>"My son was injured in an accident shortly before his wedding. He sustained several injuries and lacerations to his face, which include eyes which were swollen shut, most of his face was blue, his cheekbone was severely bruised and swollen, and he had a nasty gash on the back of his head. This happened 5 days before his wedding, which you can imagine was quite traumatic. This prompted us to try treating him with the Photizo device, as we were desperate. We could see a marked difference within three days of applying the Photizo. The Friday before his wedding day, he exhibited no more scars or swelling in his face. On the third day of treatment his stitches were removed which had been placed in the gash in his head. He also had a wound inside his mouth which healed completely before the wedding. My wife also has arthritis in her left hand, which we also started treating with Photizo and we saw a marked improvement within the first couple of days. This machine truly is a Godsend to our family."</string>

        <string>"The patient, Ms J.E. Taute, has been bedridden for the past four years. She has had a large pressure sore on her back for the past 8 months which was unresponsive to any treatments that were currently available. Before starting Photizo treatment, the wound was 30 mm long x 40 mm wide x 30 mm deep. The wound immediately (within a day or two) started closing and was highly responsive to the light therapy. Within several days it had shrunken to 10 mm long x 5 mm wide x 0.5 mm deep. The wound will probably close within the next couple of days and it looks much healthier than previously."</string>

        <string>"My name is Freddie Mong and I am a professional singer. For many years now I have struggled with hoarseness following performances. I have been to several ear, nose and throat specialists, whom have advise me that I overexert my vocal cords. My vocal cords are usually severely swollen following performances, and most doctors advised me to rest my voice between performances – this was all they could do for me. This was gravely detrimental to my singing career, as I could perform no more than twice a week. It was only quite recently that I heard about the Photizo light therapy device and I was desperate for something to make the swelling subside. The results were amazing. I apply Photizo treatment before and after performances, and I have no difficulty in staging four appearances a week now. Photizo has greatly helped with getting the swelling down and I recouperate much faster. I have also found Photizo to be very helpful in treating other minor injuries that I or my crew sustain. I can whole heartedly recommend the Photizo device for use in treating whichever injuries you may have."</string>

        <string>"My name is Hannes Venter, and I am 45 years old. I am an enthusiastic road running athlete. During February 2008, I developed an injury, in my right foot, called plantar fasciitis. This injury caused me to experience severe pain and forced me to stop running, and I even battled to walk without pain, especially after a night’s rest. I was desperate, and quite discouraged. I had tried several cures such as anti-inflammatory tablets and other treatments. Nothing cleared the condition. Some people suggested surgery, and I contemplated giving up my favorite sport: running!  A friend referred me to Dr. Maaki Ramagole, of the High Performance Centre at the University of Pretoria, for treatment. Dr Ramagole advised me of the brilliant results she had already obtained with the Photizo® Light Therapy device, and suggested this treatment. I was amazed. After 4 treatments I already experienced pain relief and after 9 treatments I returned to my training schedule, without any pain whatsoever! I'm thankful that my injury is something of the past, and that I did not need harmful drugs or even surgery! All credit to the Photizo® Light Therapy Device!"</string>
