STS-2 Success Stories

Shana, Kansas

The first few LED light therapy treatments immediately reduced the swelling and during subsequent treatments even the three-year-old scar tissue began to subside. By scanning him all over I was able to address all of the problems in the horse, as well as the hock problem. I am now able to ride him again, truly due to the system!

I have also achieved incredible results using the light therapy on wounds. They significantly speed up healing as well as reducing proud flesh. On one horse the vet called me in on a 6-week-old wound where the vet was about to carve off a large section of proud flesh. I asked the vet not to cut until I had the chance to treat the area first. In two treatments the proud flesh stopped growing and with subsequent treatments (every other day) there was no further cutting needed!

Another horse had a severe puncture wound and I was able to begin treatment the day after the accident. In fourteen days the wound was totally closed to everyone’s amazement. That rapid healing helps prevent infection and almost eliminates scarring.

My family uses the system on all our injuries, including my hubby who severely sprained his ankle. In two days he was walking almost pain free. Last week my son fell off his bike and came in the house crying, “Mommy, please put the lights on me.” I can’t say enough how glad I am to have my own system!

Another racehorse had developed a severe infection producing a hard, soccer ball size lump on the throat after an emergency tracheotomy. The vet said only surgery could remove the lump. In two weeks of treatments with the light therapy, the lump was the size of a golf ball and soft to the touch. Then it burst, and in a few days had healed completely!

An outrider’s horse crashed through a fence suffering a horrendous chest wound. Two days later the horse had torn all the stitches out and had an eighteen-inch long open wound. The vet recommended the horse be put down, as there was nothing else he could do. The horse was dragging the right front leg as if there were nerve damage. An emotional groom convinced the vet to let me work on the horse for twenty-four hours. I was doubtful but did treat the horse twice that afternoon.

The next day a very happy groom said the vet agreed to let me continue as he saw signs of accelerated healing in the wound. In two weeks the wound was down to about six inches and the right leg was being used normally! I was later summoned to the track office where I was given a note from the outrider saying, “Thank you so much for saving my horse’s life!"

I have been continually amazed with the effectiveness of this with all kinds of problems from stifle and hock problems, to more complex situations. After years of success myself, I would recommend an STS-2 to anyone!

Cheri, Illinois

A fourteen year-old hunter jumper pony had been diagnosed by a vet with a bone spur/chip that had kept him chronically lame and stall bound for two years. After five complete body-scans with treatment to locate and help ALL his problems, I began to focus specific treatment on the leg at the spur. In three months he was back to teaching and showing.

A nine year-old polo pony destroyed a tendon playing polo. The vet did surgery on her to attempt to repair the tendon. I treated the tendon consistently after the surgery and her recovery was greatly accelerated (by the vet’s experience with similar situations) and there was almost no scar tissue. She returned to full activity.

A thirty-three year-old quarter horse was about to be put down due to severe navicular, severe lameness and a very serious leg injury. There was also a tendency to colic. After several treatments with STS-2 his improvement was amazing. He had no further colic, and was able to stand and move around very well. He continues to improve and is now out grazing again.

I accidentally scratched my eye and it started showing signs of infection. I treated it with my ETU for two days and the problem was gone in three.

I have used my STS-2 on about eighty horses so far. About 80% of the time, the owner had been treating the wrong part of the horse and the wrong cause. In ALMOST EVERY situation, the horse showed dramatic improvements.

A customer of mine came into my store holding an adorable little black fluff ball of a puppy. She was in tears. She had just picked the puppy up from the vet, and he said that the darling little Lhaso Apso puppy was going to die from a fatal liver disorder. She was so tiny she fit in my hand! The pup had not eaten or drank anything for over a week. She could not even lift up her head she was so weak.

I happened to have the STS-2 at my store, and I offered to treat “Dolly”. She fell asleep in my hand while I treated her entire body, and she remained asleep until I finished. Then, she woke up, jumped out of my arms, and promptly relieved herself on my floor! She was panting like crazy, so I put out a bowl of cool water, which she drank up right away.

I had a huge pet cat in the store, and Dolly, all of one pound, began chasing that cat around as if she was a huge watchdog! This was about two years ago. Dolly is now twelve pounds and is perfectly healthy. She is truly Living Proof that Light Therapy can cause the body to heal itself!

My dear friend’s Arabian mare took a terrible fall. The vet x-rayed her, and he decided that she needed to be treated with Bute on a daily basis. The poor mare’s head hung almost to the ground. She could not lift it at all. The vet sent the horse to a chiropractor, yet poor Goldie still could not lift her head. I scanned the horse, and not to my surprise, she had many, many points ALL OVER her body.

So, the problem was not just her neck! I scanned and treated that twenty year-old mare three times. Within one week Goldie had her head up high, just like a normal Arabian! That was last year. Today, Goldie runs to me when she sees me, and she is usually quite an aloof girl. The vet told me that he was going to send every neck injury he came across to me, as he was astounded at her recovery.

About a year and a half ago, I received a phone call from an extremely upset woman who owned a gorgeous Arabian stallion, a Khemosabi son. She also had several of his progeny on her farm. One of them was an adorable Anglo-Arab named Nike. His chest and neck had been ripped open by several vicious dogs.

She had cleansed the wound, and had the vet out, but he could not do anything to close the wound. He told her to just keep cleaning it. Attempting to sew up a neck and chest wound on a horse is futile, as they use their necks to balance their bodies, and they lift their heads up and down constantly to eat and drink. He would just tear the stitches out, the vet said.

So, the next day I took my STS-2 and went to visit Nike. The wound was horrid. It was at least 10 inches high and 8 inches across. I treated around the wound several times in a two-week period. The wound drained profusely after the first treatment, and then it began to shrink! In two and a half weeks it was completely closed. Today there is no sign of injury; not even a scar or a knot to mark the event. Needless to say, the owner was thrilled and so was I.

Every time I use the lights I know that I am helping an animal to feel better, and in 99% of the cases, the animal has completely healed. Using Light Therapy is totally natural and is so very effective that every person in my home uses it for any type of pain or injury you can imagine. I could go on and on telling all of the success stories I have witnessed using the STS-2. Just let it suffice to say that I really feel that this is a fantastic tool that I do recommend to anyone I talk to!

Two days ago, a woman I had met at an Expo sent me an email. Her Arabian mare, which was almost ready to foal, was dragging her hind legs behind her. Since the mare was so close to foaling, the owners did not want any drugs administered which could harm the precious baby. So, we made the decision to drive two and one half hours each way to scan and treat the mare. She would never make it through the rigors of delivery unless she was able to get up and lay down repeatedly!

We scanned the entire horse, and she had points all over her body. We treated the hips, legs, hocks, stifles, neck and shoulders. As soon as we were done, it was obvious that sweet mare was feeling much, much better! We watched as her owner walked her out to her pasture. She picked up all of her feet, not dragging them at all!

As we were talking, her owner and I observed her repeatedly stomping her back legs at the flies pestering her. Her owner had tears in his eyes and he told me that in the year he had owned the mare, he had NEVER seen her stomp her feet! I hugged him and emotionally told him I was so happy that we could help his horse.

That night his wife called us and told us they wanted to order an STS-2 system so the wife could quit her regular job and help to heal horses on a full time basis. They were completely amazed and won over by the obvious improvement their mare was showing. And, the improvements were continuing! They want to help other horses to feel as good as their mare now feels and they want to help other owners become as relieved as they feel. What a wonderfully rewarding way to make a living!

The owner insisted I try, so I drove three hours and found the horse very sweaty and in pretty sad shape. Since a horse MUST be dry to scan it, I could only treat the little guy with the lights. I treated his head, down the spine and on every other area where any heat or swelling was present. I treated him twice that afternoon and again that night. The next morning, he was standing quietly and was dry enough to scan. I scanned him all over and treated him two more times before I left.

The owners ordered a system Next Day Air and I trained them how to use it. A week later the owners called to say the little guy had some vision and was eating and drinking normally. Four months later I received a photo of a very healthy, normal yearling that looked as if nothing had ever happened. And a thank you card that made me cry.

By the way, the horse I used to train the people in the above story was a nine year-old brood mare, which was lame. The horse had been lame for almost two years before they bought it and they had her for two years when I was there. They scanned and treated the mare during their training, between me treating their weanling. The next morning the mare was beautifully sound, and they were ecstatic!

One horse I worked on at a major expo had just won a world championship the week before. We did the horse three days in a row, as a demonstration of the equipment, but the owner was REALLY skeptical, since we were finding so many problems in the horse who just won a world title. By the third day, the number of points showing up was dramatically less, but still over fifty.

Two weeks later I had a call from the owner, asking to buy a system. When I asked her why the dramatic change in her opinion, she replied, “I’ve ridden this horse for four years and I know him like the back of my hand. Usually it takes him three weeks, minimum, to get back on track after a championship event. The week after we returned from the expo and his three scannings, I took him out for an easy walk-trot trail ride. He felt like a different horse! More power, more speed and a lot better attitude. He was awesome!”

At a national barrel-racing event a few years ago, a man approached me and asked what the equipment did. After explaining it, he asked me to scan his horse. The points I found were on one side of the neck, both hips and the back. He asked what that indicated to me. Having worked on hundreds of barrel-racing horses, I told him the horse must be turning one way much better than another, due to the neck. Also the horse could not be ‘launching forward’ with real power or dropping its rear end to slow for the turns, due to the rear/back problems. He said that was exactly what the horse was doing.

The next morning he came by the booth and told me he won. I said, “Won what,” since I was so busy scanning I didn’t get to see any of the event all week. He said, “We won the championship with the fastest run ever on this horse. And he turned both directions flawlessly and took off like a rocket! The crowd was on their feet for the whole run!”

I was traveling though the northeast and scanning a lot of horses as I traveled. While doing three horses at a farm in Connecticut, one of the owners called her sister and then put me on the phone with her. The lady was very distraught about having to put down her horse, a six year-old quarter horse. The horse had taken a bad fall two years prior and injured a knee. He was lame for months and the knee got infected. There was a reaction to something and the horse started losing weight. The lameness moved from corner to corner as time progressed, always seeming to get worse. She wanted to sue the vet who originally worked on the knee, but could not afford to. She had to sell things to pay the vet bills and now the horse was 300 pounds underweight, and not eating, drinking much or even moving around. Everyone said it had to be done to save the horse further suffering.

When I arrived, the horse was standing in a stall, with the door open out to a paddock. When the owner tried to turn him so I could get to both sides, he almost fell twice. He had so many points, I was doubtful anything could help. As I finished treating the first side of the horse, he turned, slowly and began to munch on his hay.

By the time I finished, he had eaten two flakes of hay, drank half a bucket of water, and urinated once. He was definitely more alert. As the owner, the sister and I talked, the horse turned and walked outside to continue eating the hay on the ground. He even put his ears back at the other horses eating there and took their place. All three of us broke down in tears as the owner told me that was the most he had moved or eaten in weeks. In fact it was the first time in weeks he came out of his stall.

Less than a month later I got a beautiful thank you card saying the horse was trotting around and gaining weight like a champ! Four months later, horse and owner were riding the trails again. I had treated that horse only once! This was not an expensive horse, just a horse living in a small run-down barn on the wrong side of the tracks. But to its owner, he was everything. Since then I never say never when told how bad off a horse is.

The STS-2 testimonials you have just read are only the tip of the iceberg, as they say, when it comes to STS-2. For over ten years I used this technology with Bio-Scan before launching STS-2. I have worked on over 3,500 horses as well as many other animals and a lot of happy people. Numerous horses that were about to be put down have been saved by my use of this technology. Many performance horses that were doing poorly were given new levels of performance -- often with only one treatment. Many older horses were given new energy and flexibility.

Of the thousands and thousands of cases where this technology was used, I have not heard of so much as ONE animal being harmed by its use! I think that point is also a significant consideration. My WORST results in using the STS-2, have been to produce no change. A slight waste of my time, but no harm done. And a rare occurrence at that.

Having had the privilege of working with a lot of top veterinarians, I have been able to learn from many of them, and that has given me greater insights into the workings of these incredible creatures we all love so much. It has not, however made me a veterinarian. Nor will having an STS-2 make you a vet, either.

If you truly care about the horse, then ego should not be a driving force at any time. The well being of the horse should always be paramount! If I have even the slightest thought that a horse could be helped further by a vet, I have NO HESITATION in suggesting that to the owner. There are so many places where vets and STS-2 technicians are working together, and the results are incredible. Many of the stories you read above, occurred when the vet referred the technician to the client. It should work both ways! You will NEVER go wrong by suggesting to the client to have his vet get involved. I haven’t.
