Weber laser?

15August26 Update: this is a nice status update Chris Hammond posted on his Facebook. He’s now completed I think 6 rounds of Folfox chemo:

“Feeling strong 💪🏽💥 and back to my baseline energy level 5 weeks out of Folfox Chemo. My functional Dr. was saying that she’s been using me as an example for the benefits of doing high dose IV vitamin C, Poly MVA, HBOT and Hydrogen during chemo to mitigate side effects. I haven’t had any neuropathy or cold sensitivity (cold dysesthesia) for weeks and fatigue has gone away over the last 3 weeks. My blood work overall looks great.”

My friend went through Folfox for stage 4 colon cancer and was successful getting into remission after following up with HIPEC surgery to attack the metastasizing spread to the peritoneum. Unfortunately, the after effect is neuropathy to his hands and lower legs. It sounds like it’s permanent damage. Thus, I think the preventative measures Chris describes are very important to consider for quality of life on the other side of the chemo treatments.

This is a post from Chris Hammond who is posting about his cancer journey on his Facebook account. He is utilizing many integrative approaches with chemotherapy (eg HBOT, diet, supplements to overcome neuropathy). Very interesting to read his progress and this one was especially interesting. He provides some background on use of Laser light treatment.

“Was just on a call with my functional medicine Dr. - Jennifer Bull. She’s really into cutting edge therapies for cancer, one being the Weber Laser from Germany, which is showing great results with shrinking tumors. She now has one in her office in Timonium MD. She’s developing a training for practitioners in the US. She was saying the wave of the future for cancer medicine is oxygen, plants and light(photodynamic therapy).

When it comes to treating cancer tumors with lasers, "Weber Laser" (developed by Weber Medical) primarily refers to Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). This approach combines light-sensitive drugs with targeted laser energy to selectively destroy malignant cells while sparing surrounding healthy tissue.

How the Treatment WorksPhotosensitizers: Light-sensitive compounds (e.g., indocyanine green, chlorin E6) are administered intravenously or injected directly into the tumor. These drugs accumulate in cancer cells over time.

Laser Activation: A specialized medical device, such as the Weberneedle® Endolaser, is used to direct laser light into the body.

Tumor Destruction: The specific laser wavelength activates the drug, triggering a reaction that produces reactive oxygen species (ROS). These ROS act locally to destroy the tumor cells, block their blood supply, and trigger an immune response.

Delivery Methods: Depending on the size and location of the tumor, doctors can apply the laser in a few different ways:

Interstitial Laser Therapy: Fiber-optic light guides are inserted directly through needles into deep-seated solid tumors (such as breast, prostate, or bladder tumors) to deliver light evenly.Intravenous (IV) Laser Therapy: Laser light is delivered directly into the bloodstream to target circulating cancer cells and reduce systemic inflammation.

Topical/External Delivery: Used primarily for surface-level lesions or cancers accessible via body cavities (like mouth or skin tumors) using external or specialized fiber-optic "showers".

Because this is a highly specialized, alternative or integrative approach to cancer care, you will generally find it offered at specialty integrative oncology or holistic health clinics rather than as a standard mainstream hospital treat.”
