"The field of photo therapy, once called laser, is blooming right before our very eyes. There have been multiple studies at NASA that even show that retinal damage can be reversed by photonic stimulation... “I know of no other modality that even comes close to the myriad of physiological changes that take place with the laser and yet no adverse effects.
Dr. Kleinkort has served as Liaison Officer to the World Safety Organization for the United Nations, and was a founding member of the American College of Orthopedic Medicine.

"It's Time We Opened Our Eyes to the Light"
“Light energy has been used for healing since the earliest recorded medical history, but has gone out of favor in Western medicine with the advent of the existing paradigm of a more surgical and pharmacological basis... (Cold Laser) has been an essential part of therapy for practitioners around the world for almost 20 years, but it is only recently catching on in the United States. Still, the vast majority of students of medicine and allied health practices in this country are not being taught its efficacy and use...
I have had the opportunity to assist multiple patients with pain management, wound healing and physical recovery… This modality has been the best new technology I have had to offer my patients in the last decade. It is my hope that others will latch onto this technology and bring it forward, for it is a completely non-invasive option that provides so many physiologic advantages with no apparent side effects.”

How Cold Laser Therapy is Helping Fibromyalgia Sufferers "See the Light"
By Dr. Donald Liebell
One of my patients' "secret weapons" against the pain of fibromyalgia is the Erchonia Laser. Low Level Light Therapy is commonly called cold laser to distinguish it from hot cutting surgical lasers. Cold Laser Therapy is a magnificent, safe and painless treatment technology that has been used worldwide for several decades.
Only recently has it made its way into American physicians' offices. Research conducted by Erchonia Medical resulted in FDA approval for their cold laser for chronic pain.
Receiving cold laser therapy is painless, safe, and simple. The doctor shines the red light over the affected area and/or the nerves. It can be done through clothing and you don't feel a thing.
It's unlike any other treatment. Cold Laser Therapy can:
REDUCE PAIN by stimulating cells to produce their own endorphins, a natural painkiller,
PROMOTE FASTER HEALING by stimulating cells to increase the production of two major healing enzymes by as much as 75%,
REDUCE INFLAMMATION by as much as 75%,
INCREASE BONE REPAIR SPEED
RELAX MUSCLES and muscle spasms,
DECREASE SWELLING by stimulating lymphatic drainage,
ENHANCE THE IMMUNE SYSTEM by increasing the number of "killer" cells by 400-900%, and most importantly,
RE-ENERGIZE CELL MEMBRANES
to allow transport of essential nutrients across cell walls (nutrients
will not cross an injured or sick cell wall, thus slowing healing)
allowing a healthy new cell to grow.
How it actually works on the other hand, is quite complicated
Our cells contain a "power plant" known as the mitochondria. The mitochondria produce cellular energy in the form of a chemical called ATP (adenotriphosphate). But they also produce the harmful substances called free radicals.
The application of the proper wavelength and frequencies of low level laser light results in an increase in ATP... without producing free radicals.
Anything that triggers an increase in ATP will speed the rate of healing and decrease symptoms. The Erchonia Cold Laser achieves this without side effects.
It has been said that Albert Einstein originally suggested the
LASER around 1920. But, just like most of his brilliant ideas, he was
way ahead of his time. By 1960, governments and researchers were
concentrating on military applications of LASER. But a Hungarian surgeon
named Dr. Endre Mester suspected that laser light might have a more
humane application—the destruction of malignant cancer cells.
His news was bad and good. His laser didn’t work for cancer.
But fortunately he discovered that surgical incisions he made in
lab animals healed dramatically FASTER with his laser light. Follow-up
experiments on infections, burns and other conditions revealed amazing
results—they all healed much faster.
And he figured out what went wrong with his cancer experiments. The
laser was underpowered. That’s why it didn’t destroy cancer cells. He
realized that in the same way sunlight is destructive in high doses, but
healing in small doses…laser light was healing at low power.
This led to the development of a science he called “laser
biostimulation.” Today there is an entire science field devoted to this
subject call photobiology—the study of how light effects living things.
What Exactly Is Cold Laser?
Only recently have lasers become the “rage” for surgery. But
cold laser is totally different from the surgical laser. High power
lasers are used to cut through tissue while low-power or “cold” lasers
stimulate tissue repair and healing.
Scientists figured out that there are different kinds of light. And
they create different effects on the cells of our bodies. We all know
the light we can SEE—the range of colors of the spectrum of a rainbow.
We also know that sunlight produces HEAT. Ultraviolet light is the part
of the spectrum that causes tanning or burning of the skin.
Scientists refer to cold laser as compressed from a wavelength of the cold, red, electromagnetic part of the spectrum. It’s very different from natural light because it’s just ONE color.
Plus it travels in a straight line and can be polarized, which means the
beam can be aimed at a specific area. This lets the laser light go
through the surface of the skin without heating it!
No damage... No side effects.
Worldwide, cold laser has been reported to successfully treat an incredible number of conditions. Research scientists say it’s because it works at the cellular level. More than 2,500 research reports have been published. And more than 100 double blind positive studies confirm that it works.
Cold Laser therapy is safe and effective for decreasing pain and healing many conditions. It’s an awesome technology—part of a complete fibromyalgia treatment program.
Ancient Practice… Modern Technology Cold laser is helping many conditions previously untreatable with
anything but medication. But light therapy is hardly a new concept. Light has been used for healing for thousands of years, starting with the Chinese, Greeks and Romans who recognized the positive effects of sunlight.
The rays of the sun make plant seeds sprout through changes in their
genetic materials—DNA and RNA. Remember that the sun’s rays are full
spectrum light…meaning that there are many wavelengths. Yet only ONE specific wavelength or frequency causes the seeds to germinate.
Every cell, tissue and organ of your body has a specific frequency that regulates important functions. Things like protein such as protein synthesis, cell division and communication. Our living matrix of cells has a laser-like RESONANCE FREQUENCY... a unique property that signals various processes such as growth, injury repair, and immune function.
Using specific cold laser frequencies and wavelengths can
balance the body’s defense and repair mechanisms. This means that
disease shows up as chemical imbalances…but the underlying cause is
electromagnetic. So applying a specific frequency can restore normal
function to cells.
It’s critical to use the RIGHT WAVELENGTHS, FREQUENCIES and other settings. What we’re talking about here is…
Pain Relief Through Quantum Physics
(Instead of drugs and surgery)
The Erchonia PL-5000 Cold Laser that I use can be programmed to different frequencies to treat different areas of the body, at the cellular level.
Think of it as a calculator... that subtracts pain!
"Fue
ling the Power Plant"
As mentioned earlier, the cells of your body have a miniature “power plant” inside
called the mitochondria. That’s where your cell’s energy is produced.
It’s called ATP (Adenosine Tri-phosphate). Cold laser light stimulates
an increase in ATP production in the mitochondria. This process is
similar to how your body uses the sun's energy to manufacture Vitamin
D.
When your cells have more energy available, they operate more
efficiently. Researchers say cold laser improves transportation of
nutrients through the cells. It can help increase chemicals known as
endorphins. These are your body’s natural, built-in pain relievers.
The mitochondria are very sensitive to light. The amazing discovery
made by Dr. Mester was that certain frequencies of light could increase
the “power plant’s” ability to make MORE energy…speeding up the healing
rate of injuries. The blood’s immune response can improve. Oxygen to the
cells can increase too.
Cold laser light also activates enzymes within cells. This triggers
beneficial chemical reactions to activate more enzymes—like a “domino
effect.” What’s really fascinating is that only the cells that need the
light absorb it.
What would you say if a noted neuroscientist told you an injured spinal cord could be repaired by shining a light on it?
The research was conducted by neuroscientist, Juanita Anders at
Bethesda, Maryland. Her lab is at the Uniformed Services University, the
U.S. military’s medical school. Over the past seven years, Anders has
been studying the healing powers of cold lasers. She has found that in
rats, laser therapy can repair severed spinal cords, allowing
once-injured animals to walk again—a 300% faster rate of healing.
It is unlikely that there is any other type of treatment technology
that can produce as many positive effects—yet cause no bad effects.
There are drugs which produce positive effects…but at the cost of many
negative side effects.
To summarize: when cold laser is applied… your body’s natural healing response is stimulated… and… in many cases… it heals faster and better. It’s proven safe and effective for decreasing pain and improving healing.
Erchonia Medical made history by becoming the first to receive FDA
market clearance for the treatment of chronic pain, proven through two
double blind studies. The Erchonia Lasers are the most advanced lasers
on the market, with their sleek revolutionary design, patented line
generated beam, and the ability to program independent frequencies in
all of their family of lasers.
In my practice I use the Erchonia Cold Laser... the same laser used for Lance Armstrong, as well as many other elite professional athletes' medical staffs. The US Olympic Committee enthusiastically endorsed cold laser therapy in January of 2004. I'm proud to have learned the exact protocols from Dr. Jeff Spencer,
who has been the team doctor for Lance Armstrong's Tour
de France cycling team.
Perhaps you could benefit from it too.
