Lori Malec Sweet - CEO and Co-Founder

Lori Sweet has been a natural entrepreneur since the age of 14 when she joined the Junior Achievement program in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The program helps high school students interested in business careers. By graduation she had won every award in JA as well as a full scholarship to the University of Southern California. She graduated cum laude from USC with a BFA in fine arts (1970). Her teaching degree is from Michigan State University (1971). She taught art in public and private settings, mentored other artists, and developed her own art studio and a retail gallery. She has won numerous awards, including several grants from the Michigan Arts Council. Her career and interests include education, community service, holistic health, and manufacturing. She has studied holistic health since the 1970s and is currently acquiring a Master's of Science in Natural Health.

In 1984 her son, Nathan Dunn, was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 8 and became a patient at St. Jude's Children Research Hospital. Their challenges with cancer therapy led to her interest in holistic care and vibrational energy therapies. Nate is a healthy adult today. Beginning in 1994 she funded and managed a manufacturing company. Her current company, Arcturus Star Products, L.L.P is managed with husband Steve Sweet. Their mission is to provide excellence and innovation in its products and educational services.

Lori's passion, enthusiasm, and tireless efforts have led to nearly 2 decades of success in this business. Her company is constantly moving toward greater validation of this healing work. Their newest venture, the LET Training Institute, offers education and supports research partners here and abroad. (2010) The Company recently won a medical research grant for its lymphatic therapy device through Flinders University in Australia, in collaboration with their New Zealand associate. Lori is renewing her work in the creative arts and enjoys nature and time with her family and pets.

Steve Sweet - General Manager and Co-Founder

We started our current company, Arcturus Star Products, in 1998. My second husband, Steve Sweet, joined me in creating it. He is an incredibly talented, energetic, and hard working man. As a jet engine mechanic in the Air Force he discovered his love of working with his hands with machinery. His professional life began in the furniture industry where he was trained as an industrial engineer. After working in industry for 20 years he began a business making custom fine furniture and had a woodworking factory. We met through my art shop and I sold his beautiful work. When Nate became ill he generously ran the store while I was gone for 3 months. He was a great friend then and now. His fine ability to fabricate things of function and beauty is a great asset. His passion is in running a small factory and he works on everything from the electronics, training and managing employees, to building tooling, machinery, plastic fabrication, and construction on our shop building. I truly marvel at our ability to manufacture these devices completely in the USA, pay good wages, and contribute to our local community. For this I credit Steve Sweet.

We are very proud of our accomplishments. We have bootstrapped a company in a field no one really knew about, survived, and grown it to a level of success. We have done this with a grass roots approach to the wonderful people in the holistic health community. We have pledged ourselves to service to others and kindness in our business model. Some have come into our circle and then gone. We thank them for their contributions to "the work." One of the chief things I have learned is that there are many different ways to healing and each individual needs a unique approach. We all vibrate at our own frequency. There's room for all genuine approaches to thrive in this world.

Freedom of choice in healthcare; the work of overcoming disease and despair with options to drugs and surgery; this is the focus of all this, not our small enterprise. It goes on in many places now and we honor all others that practice right action and right purpose. And we are in gratitude for this opportunity to help improve the quality life for us all.

Curriculum Vitae

Dr. Croley is Professor Emeritus, Department of Physical Therapy, Biology, and Dental Hygiene at Texas Women's University. He has authored or was a prime contributor to nearly 100 peer review journals articles and manuscripts. He holds BS and MS degrees from East Texas University and a Ph.D. (Human Anatomy) from Baylor. His expertise is also in acupuncture, as well as in cutting-edge biomedical technologies.

His curiosity around energy "anatomy" led him to study in China. He has performed as a researcher for several companies in Photo-Biostimulation, including lasers. He is currently Director of the Gutenlase Energy Research Center in Denton, Texas. He advances knowledge daily in bio-resonance and photo-therapies while helping clients with stubborn chronic problems. He is eminently qualified to guide Arcturus Star Products as our scientific advisor, as he has since 2003. He continues to be a shining light as a pioneer in our field of light and electromagnetic therapies for the good of mankind.

To Whom It May Concern:

For more than seven and a half years, I have used the Lymphstar Pro and the Gem Galaxy cold laser in treating more than 150 clients with varying problematic conditions. I have not had a single adverse reaction in these individuals when treated with either or both of these instruments.

I have worked with many other kinds of lasers for the past twenty years and the Gem Galaxy cold laser is the best that I have used. I feel that the design of having three simultaneous light modalities is an excellent concept which is an addition to the concept of the use of lower wattage. Many users of lasers that don't have the proper background training think that the more power that a laser emits means better results - which is totally incorrect. I have always worked on the system of meridians and acupoints with the cold laser which dictates that you use a comparable energy level to facilitate healing and reduction of pain. If the energy is too high you impede this action.

The Lymphstar allows the lymph system to be opened up to drain the toxins, etc. better and faster. Clients have come to me just to get a lymph treatment alone. I precede all of my treatments with a lymph treatment first. The Lymphstar will be an added asset to healing when used either alone are in conjunction with other instrumentation. Because the Lymphstar emits a low level energy within the frequency range that it does, this allows stimulation of the Autonomic Nerves without doing harm to the tissues of the body. Clients are immediately relaxed and their tissues begin releasing the toxins thereby cleaning their bodies of these harmful chemicals.

Website Dedication

I dedicate this website to my parents. First to my late father, Stanley Malec, who instilled in me a love of entrepreneurship that he could never fulfill. He always calmed my fears and showed leadership in his many hours of community service while raising seven terrific children. And, of course, I honor my mother, Dolly, turning 80 this year. Her support is unflinching, her intuition undeniable. I could never find a better mom on this earth than you!

Steve joins me in thanking our families for supporting us in order to help others in the greater world; these include his mother and stepfather, our 5 children, 6 grandchildren, 1 great granddaughter, 11 brothers and sisters, and many, many nieces and nephews. We love you all very much!
