What does LASER stand for?
LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated
Emission by Radiation.
-
How does laser light differ from "normal" light?
Light emitted from a laser diode is monochromatic (having only
one wavelength), parallel and coherent (having waves with similar
direction, amplitude, and phase). These qualities make laser light
much more valuable for therapeutic benefits.
-
Are low level lasers SAFE?
Industry has been using laser diodes for years in such applications
as bar code check outs, CD players, laser printers and pointers.
The FDA has listed bio-stimulation lasers as non-significant risk
(NSR) devices.
-
How do low level lasers work?
Pain results from trauma and/or cellular disruption, malfunction,
or less than optimal cellular function. Healing and pain relief
come with cellular normalization. Photons enable cells to perform
optimally by stimulating them to initiate bio-chemical reactions
which produce enzymes and ATP (usable energy).
-
Where can low level laser therapy be used?
Low level laser therapy may be used any place there is acute
or chronic pain or inflammation, and, low level laser therapy
may be effective on any disease or disorder. Users have reported
successes when using low level laser therapy on: Arthritis,
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Tennis Elbow, Whiplash, Headaches, Back
and Shoulder Pain, TMD/TMJ, Burns, Cuts, Sprains, Colds and Cold
Sores, Sinusitis, and even Age Spots!
-
Have low level lasers been scientifically studied
and proven?
Low level lasers have been used world-wide for nearly 30 years.
Over 2000 studies have shown that low level lasers: (1) REDUCE
PAIN by stimulating cells to produce their own endorphins,
a natural pain killer, (2) PROMOTE FASTER HEALING by stimulating
cells to increase the production of two major healing enzymes
by as much as 75%, (3) REDUCE INFLAMMATION by as much as
75%, (4) INCREASE BONE REPAIR SPEED by stimulating fibroblastic
and osteoblastic proliferation, (5) RELAX MUSCLES and muscle
spasms, (6) DECREASE SWELLING by stimulating lymphatic
drainage, (7) ENHANCE THE IMMUNE SYSTEM by increasing the
number of "killer" cells by 400-900%, and most importantly, (8)
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 much do low level lasers cost?
We have seen low level lasers advertised for anywhere from $
550 up to several thousand dollars each.
-
Does a higher price always mean a better low
level laser?
Not always. A VERY LOW price usually means that the product
contains only cheap LED's, and no true lasers - and while "LED
only" products may provide some benefit, they are not a good as
a product with both LED's and true lasers. It is also not necessary
to pay VERY HIGH PRICES (over $5,000) for an individual
low level laser units.
-
What features should I look for in a quality
low level laser?
(1) A unit with both true Laser and LED diodes. (2) Lasers
that are designed to both Harmonize and Resonate with
the body's natural energy. (3) The unit should be able to consistently
control power output (more is not better) via a Computer-Controlled,
Rechargeable Power System. (4) The laser should be able to
produce Multiple Energy Levels and Multiple Wave Lengths.
(5) All laser diodes should be Polarized so as to energize
the greatest number of cells. (6) The laser energy should be Pulsed
to encompass all frequencies in the brain. (7) Programmability
- the unit should be able to be reprogrammed as successful
new frequencies as discovered. (8) The unit should be Small
& Convenient and not require plug ins or adaptors. (9)
Finally, the unit should be Reasonably Priced - meaning
a suggested retail price between $1000 and $4000 (depending on
features).
-
What low level laser(s) meet all these requirements?
The only lasers that we are familiar with that meet ALL the requirements
listed above are the Q100 Resonating Laser ($1,800 US)
and the Q1000 Multi Frequency Resonating Laser ($3795 US)
available from 2035, Inc. For more information on these two products,
