Cancer is a BEAST.

It doesn’t take having cancer and then going through chemo to know that it wreaks havoc on the body, which ends up wreaking havoc on the whole person, then their family, and all those around them.

Two years ago, I was diagnosed with AML (acute myeloid leukemia). I went through roughly 6 months of treatment. All looked just as it should and I was cancer free! Then 3 short months later, my cancer mutation showed up once again, and by January of this year, I was back in the hospital, ready to have an allogeneic bone marrow transplant (cells received from a donor). The chemo leading up to this was gruesome. I didn’t necessarily feel the full effects of what my high-intensity chemo did to me until after I was discharged. I lost several layers of skin from head to toe (even my toenails), severe mouth sores made it very difficult to eat, neuropathy made it nearly impossible to walk for 3 weeks, and my gut churned and churned every single morning. And oh so much more. Not to mention, losing every single hair on my head.

I arrived home with a broken body. Those first few months were a fight. A hard fight; wondering if I made the right decision. How in the world was I ever going to get back on my feet again? Literally?

While in the hospital, everyday a nurse walked in pushing a little cart with what looked like a shower head attached to it. I was informed that it was a red light therapy machine and that it helps decrease and prevent mouth sores. Mind you, they were EVERYWHERE in my throat. A red light therapy machine? Seemed odd, especially when I put it close to the skin by my throat. Hmmm. Whatever, I’ll do what I’m told. So there I sat for 6 minutes, for each spot, holding this “shower head” gizmo up to my skin, each and every day.

And wouldn’t you know, they were getting better. Huh.

A few days after arriving home, I started to have INTENSE pain in my fingers and toes, to the point where I was in tears. I went to bed with ice packs and cold-soaked towels to tie around my feet, so that I could sleep. A dear dear friend, who was walking with me through all the ups and downs, asked if I wanted to borrow her red light therapy machine? Um, well, even though I was still a bit skeptical, I was willing to do whatever to make the pain go away. It became so intense that it actually landed me back in the hospital for a few days. Diagnosis? Severe neuropathy of the hands and feet. Saw that one coming!

She kindly dropped it off and for the next few weeks, I used this handheld RLT machine 2-3 times a day. I was put on all sorts of meds and creams to try and help with the neuropathy, but because it was chemo induced, nothing helped. But there was one thing that did: RED LIGHT THERAPY. As the days went by, I noticed that I was able to start walking without severe pain. The pain in my fingers started to only be in a finger or two. Then it went to just the sides of my feet. Then one day, I woke up with ZERO pain.

So how do I know that it was the RLT? Because up until then, nothing else had worked. Maybe there was something behind using a RLT machine in the hospital? The more I read, the more I learned, and the more I realized that this gift from my friend was life-altering and LIFE-CHANGING.

I’m not one to necessarily jump on bandwagons, but I sure have learned an overwhelming amount of information since being diagnosed with cancer (which I’m excited to share all I’ve learned, changed, added to our life in the future). And having learned more about RLT, I can’t help but share it’s benefits with you too because I think it is that effective.

So first off, what is RLT?

RLT improve the function of the mitochondria (the powerhouses of your cells). It delivers a low-level laser to help regenerate (or grow) cells, restore cells, and increase blood flow, which as a result, relieves pain, heals muscles, skin, and other parts of the body.

What are the benefits?

Google search: benefits of red light therapy. Seriously, try it! You’ll be blown away at all of the ways it can impact the body for the better.

• Skin
• Anti-aging
• Sickness
• Muscle recovery
• Pain
• Inflammation
• Neck pain
• Hair growth
• Organ Support
• Mood
• Sleep
• Would Healing

And for me personally? RLT has significantly aided in healing my neuropathy, helped restore my gut health, and most noticeably, my hair. I have received countless comments on how thick my hair is coming back, especially in the back. Well, that is exactly where I used my RLT machine. I did have thick hair before, but as any chemo patient knows, it kills EVERYTHING, so for my hair to come back like it is, RLT works.

There are MANY different types of RLT options out there. From full-body to hand held. In fact, some doctor’s offices offer RLT for treatment! But I recommend doing your research. I didn’t know it at the time, but the RLT machine from my friend is one of the best handheld ones out there. I have the LUMEBOX and after doing research myself, I would choose this one all over again. It is handheld, powerful, a class II medical device, FDA approved, is independently certified, and now accepts HSA/FSA!

The idea of RLT was brand new to me, and maybe it is for you too. I’m sure you have LOTS of questions or maybe are skeptical. I totally get it – that was me; until I started to use it.

**But I do have to share a disclaimer – NOTHING OVERRIDES THE POWER OF OUR GOD. In the end, HE is our ultimate Healer, Deliverer, and Great Physician. I don’t ever want a device, procedure, or medicine to be viewed as “THE” solution because nothing stands above God’s sovereignty. I do think though that God has opened my eyes to an all-natural way to heal some parts of me that were quite broken. Much like a medication or other method could. Thanks to my friend who so generously opened up my eyes to RLT and changed the course of my healing journey.
