We hear some of the same questions repeatedly regarding the application of LEDs to problem areas of the body. We want to share the most frequently asked questions and their answers with you so you can understand better, the meaning and function of photostimulation using 660nm red light (non-coherent monochromatic light). Q.Is LEDs visible red light ( non-coherent monochromatic light) a valid therapeutic modality? A. Yes. Because it works so well on animals and babies, it obviously does not rely on a placebo or psychosomatic effect, it is a valid therapeutic modality. The use of LEDs has been extensively researched and tested in university laboratories, in deep space, under the sea and on Earth in clincal studies. Q. How can red light possibly assist in healing me? A.It is your body healing itself, not the red light. To understand fully how it works, one needs to understand some basic physics and biochemistry. See our scientific information on this site for a brief explanation. Information is available from the NASA link. On the NASA site, look for NASA Space Technology Shines New Light on Healing. Keep in mind, that photomedicine has been applying the same principles for some time e.g. photo-therapy, 450nm blue To treat jaundice in new-born babies; photochemistry in the treatment of rickets and photodynamic therapy in the treatment of some cancers. Q. Can I do any harm if I stimulate the wrong point if I use the acupoints as a guide? A. No, it will register as a nil response. The non-coherent monochromatic red light from the Photonic Torch is safe. It is no stronger than a 40 mw light globe. Q. Do I continue with my medication while using the Photonic Torch? A. Yes, you certainly do. Red Light Healing/Photostimulation using our Photonic Torch is a complementary therapy. It may be used on its own or with prescribed pharmaceuticals. It is not as effective when combined with prescribed cortisone. Q. Does it cure most disorders? A. No. We do not make any such claims. Red Light Healing/Photonic Stimulation using LEDs does not replace competant medical consultation. It is a complementary or adjunctive therapy. The majority of common conditions can benefit from this new technology. Problems such a bacterial infections or malignant tumors certainly need conventional medical treatment. Q. Is non-coherent monochromatic red light helpful while undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy? A. Yes. Photonic stimulation of acupoints using our Photonic Torch should increase the immune response without interfering with the chemotherapy treatment. Non-coherent monochromatic visible red light may be used successfully as a secondary therapy in cancer treatment as demonstrated by Professor Whelan of the Medical College of Wisconscin in his recent studies of using LEDs in the treatment of mouth ulcers and pain relief for cancer patients. Q. I have had a bad back and knees for over 20 years, can this help? A. Yes. The Red Light initiates the neurons to produe particular neurochemical, natural pain killers or anti-inflammatories. The longer you have had the problem, it may take more than the normal number of applications to reach your desired health goal. Read our Testimonials. Q. What about after surgery, can it help? A. LEDs non-coherent monochromatic visible red light does accelerate any wound healing and regeneration of tissue. This has been scientifically demonstrated. Q. Can I get help online for my problems? A. Yes. However, you will find the comprehensive Guide covers most of your queries for numerous disorders. Should you require further help, we do provide distance assistance wherever you are in the world, via email. The fee for a 30 minute consultation with Jan Couper, accredited photonic therapist, is US$20.00.
