The 
McLaren Method of Photonic Therapy
“McLaren Photonic Therapy is an effective safe, painless, scientifically advanced form of acupuncture, utilizing red light, not laser, to gently stimulate the body’s own capacity to reduce pain, increase the immune response and promote healing.”
This method of Photonic Therapy has been developed by Dr. Brian McLaren BVSC,QDAH,P/GRAD Dip Acu, M App Sc, Adv Dip Neurophysiology, Member Inst. Assoc. for the Study of Pain, Member Bioelectromagnetic Soc. , a veterinary surgeon of many years standing in Australia.
Gales Photonic Therapy is the UK home of McLaren Photonic Therapy and operates from an idyllic setting within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the Vale of Clwyd below the historic hill top fort of Moel Arthur in North Wales.
Having grown up on a Welsh hill farm where horses and dogs were used for work and pleasure, Liz Scrivener the owner of Gales Photonic Therapy, developed an insight into the behaviour of animals. This is enhanced by her deeper understanding of the physiology of both horses and dogs necessary for her creative work in her animal and portrait painting.
With a long interest in alternative healing therapies, initially for herself and her own animals, Liz discovered the Brian McLaren Photonic Therapy method whilst attending a Parelli Natural Horsemanship Clinic. After this initial contact, Liz developed the interest through contact with Dr Brian McLaren and after attending several training sessions, some of which including personal coaching with Brian McLaren, Liz is now the only registered level three practitioner, instructor and distributor in the UK.
Dr McLaren’s primary training was as a vet, interested in farm animals in general and horses in particular. He became interested in acupuncture because it allowed him to treat various conditions of the horse’s back and hind quarters, for which Western medicine couldn’t really offer an answer, as it is too large an area to X-Ray. So often problems of the hind quarters were either missed or ignored
Photonic Therapy is a non-invasive therapy which uses the acupuncture points and meridian lines originally devised by the ancient Chinese.
Dr. McLaren has used photonic therapy in the treatment of animals, particularly horses, for many years and has found it to be extremely successful and that it has in turn resulted in a significant reduction in the use of drugs and invasive surgical procedures. There are numerous case studies and testimonials to confirm this. Although now retired as a veterinary surgeon, Dr McLaren is one of Australia’s top qualified Vets. His Acupuncture studies led him to be accredited with the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society, about as high a qualification in acupuncture that a vet can receive.
He was intrigued by the healing ability of light, red light in particular, and went on to develop his Photonic Torch. It produces 185mW of energy in the 660nm wavelength; it is then turned on and placed on the skin. This allows a horse to be treated using only 5 to 10 seconds per point. Normally it takes only 4 to 6 treatments to fix all but the most serious problem. Treatments are given every second day. (You may give a daily treatment and, even though you can do no harm, it will not make the horse heal any faster, though, in the case of a fresh injury, it will assist in removing pain.)
The follow on from this was that, as he was able to treat his equine patients using Photonic Therapy with obvious ease and with such good results, and no needles, that his farmer clients began to ask if he could relieve some of their pain in backs/knees etc, and so his human practice began. He then under took the university degrees of Graduate Diploma in Acupuncture, Master of Applied Science in Clinical Practice, and at the same time at another university studied Chinese language (Mandarin) for two years, which enabled him to study with three Chinese Masters.
The method of treating disease and injury with light is as old as mankind itself, but Dr Brian McLaren discovered that by using monochromatic light to classical acupuncture points, the energy of the light (photons) was transformed into electrical energy by the layer of connective tissue under the skin (Collagen) This electrical energy is transmitted to the brain by the nerves, causing the brain to release particular hormones and other chemicals to relieve pain, increase the immune response, and promote healing. It is non invasive, safe and simple.
