More E -pub articles are establishing Light Therapy as a valid treatment for chronic pain and symptoms of unresponsive dis-ease.  Dr. Dinshah Ghadialli brought Spectro-Chrome Light Therapy to the US in 1920, having studied Dr. William Wollaston and Dr. Edwin Babbitt, M.D. 's "Color therapy" and his 1878, "Principles of Light and Color". Dr. Dinshah successfully educated MD's, alternative health professionals and lay people until 1966. The AMA failed to discredit his work because of Dr. Kate Baldwin's testimony, at the first trial, but later succeeded in 1947 following a fire that destroyed his laboratory, life work and inventions following Dr. Baldwins death. Two books were written after 1953 that are used today as manuals and history. "Let there be Light" and "Spectro-Chrome Metry Encyclopedia" are both resources related to the history and light therapy practice. At this same time frame, Royal Rife had his frequency invention to cure cancer abolished by the AMA, his laboratory and manufacturing plant burned down, and 11 of the machines purchased by MD's confiscated and destroyed. Only one escaped by the MD relinquishing his license and going to Europe. There are many published papers from 1927-1943 on the effectiveness of light therapy in research hospitals. In 1942 all research with light was terminated, in spite of it being more effective than pharmaceuticals in sepsis and moribund cases. The documented studies are in Dr. William Campbells book, "Into the Light".
