Training for the Photon Sound Beam

I hope that you might be able to help me. A few years ago I had thyroid cancer and my thyroid was removed. I recently found lumps in my breasts and I think a felt another lump in my neck area. I've read up on natural health, including all the of the Kevin Trudeau books which is what led me to looking up on the internet Multi-Wave Oscillating machines. I found one from the website www.photonsoundbeam.net. This machine seems to do the same thing that yours does, it has the glass with the noble gases in it. I purchased the machine a month or so ago and have been using regularly. I haven't seen any improvement in the lumps. I started thinking that maybe I needed manual lymph massage so this morning I did an internet search of lymph massage. That is how I came across your website. From reading the material on your website I now feel that doing this on my own is probably not helping me very much at all. Your material mentioned a sound that allows a technition to know when a lymph area is open. My machine does not do this. Actually my machine didn't come with hardly in instructions comparable to what I read on your website. I feel overwhelmed now that I spent all this money and now realize that I'm not doing my self much good with out a professional to administer the treatments to me correctly. I understand that your two main purposes in having your website is to improve peoples lives while at the same to make money doing it. So you probably won't be interested in helping me since what I want to ask you is if you can help me find a way to better use my machine that I already have. I ask only as a fellow cancer patient, as I'm sure you can understand how that feels. I have two small children and I want to be around for them. Thank you for your time.

Does this work for Dogs?

We have a dog that has had biopsies and found to have inflammatory bowel disease with some lymph blockage. The biggest problem we have with her is the protein enteropathy. She continues to hold fluids in her abdomen....we have her in and out of the vet and spent approx. $9,000. She's been in for 4-5 days at a time when they have administered hetastarch IV's. The first three or four visits on IV's brought her down to normal (her belly starts looking like a watermelon). We had one emergency room visit, the fluids backed up into her lungs and she nearly died that night. Since, we've had her to the regular vet several times. But now, on our last visit her legs are filling with the fluid and the vet is trying to talk us into putting her down. She is not in pain and is totally full of personality so we cannot even go there. We just started her on a series of herbs along with a new one called "seigen". I am looking at any alternative that I can think of or at least find online. Your reply will greatly be appreciated whether this might help or not. Thank you for your time!
