Who We Are

At the end of 2002, I successfully completed eight years of medical practice in the Sultanate of Oman as a specialist in internal medicine. My medical education and clinical practice were, and remain, predominantly Western-based, particularly influenced by the British medical tradition, despite my close contact with many Asian colleagues who had experience with traditional Chinese and Indian medicine.

A few years later, after returning to Cairo, I met my professor, M. K. Algogary, the founder of the Egyptian Society of Acupuncture, widely recognized as the father of acupuncture in Egypt and the Arab world. He was a prominent and highly respected figure in the field. I was fortunate to be accepted as a trainee in acupuncture at his Cairo clinic.

​

While working with him, I had another fortunate encounter in late 2006: I met the Japanese Professor Toshikatsu Yamamoto, the originator of Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture (YNSA), during his visit to Cairo.

Through intensive self-training in YNSA, I mastered the basic half of the YNSA microsystem. I was impressed by its immediate clinical effects, particularly in pain and motor disabilities. As a result, I gained a special position among the professor's assistants, and he entrusted me with a dedicated two-bed unit for patients with motor disabilities.

​

My involvement in acupuncture progressed rapidly. I eventually became a trainer and was promoted to instructor at Professor Algogary's clinic, where I taught traditional Chinese acupuncture.

In 2010, Suez Canal University established Egypt's first Center for Complementary Medicine under the leadership of Professor Algogary. I became a member of the center and was involved in developing its proposed roadmap. The center was envisioned around three major objectives: acculturation, training, and research.

​

Unfortunately, Professor Algogary passed away at the end of 2012, and the initiative gradually came to an end. No comparable effort was subsequently established, either in Egypt or elsewhere in the Arab world, to develop a dedicated center for complementary medicine.

​

In 2023, I became a permanent resident of the United States. This gave me an opportunity to revive that long-standing vision through the American Establishment of Laser Therapy (AELT), benefiting from the greater freedom of movement and the broader opportunities for collaboration available in the United States and internationally, particularly in the Middle East and Arab countries.

​

AELT focuses especially on laser acupuncture (LA), in which low-level laser irradiation is used instead of metallic needles. The approach is painless and non-invasive, and the low-power laser devices used for this purpose are relatively inexpensive and readily accessible.

One of our primary objectives is to introduce laser acupuncture to healthcare providers as a complementary, non-specific therapeutic approach based on photobiomodulation and guided by refined acupuncture maps. To achieve this, we have developed a series of short training courses offered both online and in person at affordable costs. We are also prepared to organize training programs in other countries whenever appropriate opportunities arise.

​

Our second objective is scientific acculturation: introducing healthcare professionals and interested researchers to emerging and unconventional scientific fields, including areas such as quantum biology and other phenomena that remain at the boundaries of current scientific understanding. We are particularly interested in the possibility that the chemical and molecular processes we observe in living systems may represent the observable end products of deeper informational processes.

​

Our third objective is to encourage and participate in scientific research, particularly in unconventional and emerging areas where current medical approaches remain limited. We are interested in exploring new possibilities and potential solutions for difficult and poorly manageable disorders that continue to challenge conventional medicine.

​

These are the three main fronts of AELT: education, scientific acculturation, and research.

Through our modest efforts, we hope to encourage healthcare professionals, researchers, and institutions to explore new possibilities—carefully, scientifically, and for the ultimate benefit of humanity.
