That's probably right. I'm looking into having the cavitation surgery , but in the meantime the infrared feels healing and good, and perhaps at least will prevent it from getting any worse. And there is that one story on that link on Dr. WIlson's site about how a man healed his cavitation with the infrared light, which is interesting. Dr. WIlson says it can take several years to heal cavitations in this way, and maybe that one story was a freak thing - but still would recommend it for its healing energy in general. Every little bit helps. I actually bought the infrared light for my vertigo and inner ear disorders, and for healing benefits in general, and was pleasantly surprised that anecdotally it has been used also for cavitations.
