Light HealsAnd, he is living proof. Dr. Ste-phen Wechsler, a chiropractor, visited us last week and demon-strated his perspective on LED and ultra violet light therapy for the treatment of everything from arthritus to flesh wounds. In his practice, he has often applied dozens of small lights mounted on electronic pads on patients that did not respond to other forms of treatments for pain. His own car accident shattered his wrist and the light therapy eliviated his pain.

Dr. Steve and Prez Gary.

Just For Thoughtfrom: wikipedia.org

John Winston Lennon, MBE (Member of The Most Excellent Or-der of the British Empire) was an English musician, singer and song-writer who rose to worldwide fame as a founder member of the Beat-les, the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed band in the history of popular music. With Paul McCartney, he formed a songwriting partnership that is one of the most celebrated of the 20th century.

Born and raised in Liverpool, as a teenager Lennon became involved in the skiffle craze; his first band, the Quarrymen, evolved into the Beatles in 1960. When the group disbanded in 1970, Lennon em-barked on a solo career that pro-duced the critically acclaimed al-bums John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine, and iconic

songs such as "Give Peace a Chance" and "Imagine". After his mar-riage to Yoko Ono in 1969, he changed his name to John Ono Len-non. Lennon disengaged himself from the music business in 1975 to raise his infant son Sean, but re-emerged with Ono in 1980 with the new album Double Fantasy. He was murdered three weeks after its release.Lennon revealed a rebellious nature and acerbic wit in his music, writing, drawings, on film and in interviews. Controversial through his political and peace activism, he moved to New York City in 1971, where his criticism of the Vietnam War resulted in a lengthy attempt by Richard Nixon's administration to deport him, while some of his songs were adopted as anthems by the anti-war movement.As of 2012, Lennon's solo album sales in the United States exceed 14 million units, and as writer, co-writer or performer, he is respon-sible for 25 number-one singles on the US Hot 100 chart. In 2002, a BBC poll on the 100 Greatest Britons voted him eighth, and in 2008, Rolling Stone ranked him the fifth-greatest singer of all time. He was posthumously inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1987 and into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.
