WBO World Heavyweight Boxing Champion
Doctors in L.A. told boxer Lamon Brewster he had a torn ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament). The only real option he had was surgery. He could continue to box on his damaged knee, but eventually it would end his career. The problem for Lamon was: knee surgery would also end his career.
The year was 2000, Lamon Brewster wasn't a WBO champion yet. He was a professional boxer doing the L.A. circuit, making a living wage for his wife and kids by fighting weekends in the ring. Surgery plus a year-long recovery time was something he simply couldn't afford.
He asked around. Was surgery really his only option? Doctor after doctor agreed: there was nothing else he could do.
Then he found a doctor who had heard of a new treatment up in Vancouver, B.C. called Pulsed Signal Therapy. Lamon called up Dr. Cecil Hershler who ran the clinic to find out more about it. Dr. Hershler, who had seen Lamon's type of injury heal well with his treatment, told him what the time and cost was. He was also clear about its success rate: the treatment doesn't work for everyone. But with only a two-month recovery time, no side effects, no medications and, most of all, no knife, Lamon felt it was worth the risk.
The gamble paid off.
"Lamon was one of a smaller percentage of people who, while treatment took place, could feel the knee responding to the therapy." Dr. Hershler says.
After nine hour-long sessions, over two weeks, with the Pulsed Signal Therapy, a magnetic pulse that stimulates regeneration of torn cartilage, Lamon returned to L.A. to recover.
Five months later, not only was Lamon Brewster back in the ring - he was claiming his first WBO World Heavyweight title.
From a boxer with a damaged leg to a World Champion in under a year, Lamon thinks it was divine guidance that brought him to Vancouver. "I thank God for finding me a doctor who didn't believe in surgery. I came up here, and 2-3 months later I was back in the ring. With surgery, it would have been a year. Five months after I did the treatment, I got my first title... I thank God for PST."
To Heal a Wound, Turn up the Voltage
In an
article dated July 26, 2006, New Scientist reports: ". . . electric currents applied to the skin could potentially speed up wound healing. " Because magnetic pulses are changed into electric pulses in tissue, this is further support of Pulsed Signal Therapy.
Josef Penninger of the Austrian Institute of Molecular Biotechnology in Vienna and Min Zhao of the University of Aberdeen, UK, have demonstrated that natural electric fields and currents in tissue play a vital role in orchestrating the wound-healing process by attracting repair cells to damaged areas.
