Diabetes Mellitus - Procedures:

Diabetes mellitus was successfully treated with the use of low-energy laser in 60 clinical cases, with children from the age of 3.5 years till 15 years of age, adolescents and adults with a maximal age of 76 years. The average age of the patients was 45.5 years. Control groups of patients consisted of 3 patients for each age group.

Helium-Neon (630 nm) and infrared laser (850 - 960 nm) low-energy quantum beams were applied simultaneously (separately on different zones or in combination on the same areas) or separately at different times on different parts of the body. LLLT was performed transorganically, intravenously, trans-cutaneously in reflex zones and upon acupuncture points (laser-puncture) with the help of

Russian- and Lithuanian-made quantum therapy apparatuses "LR 2000", "MILTA", and "AZOR". MILTA is manufactured in Russia by the Human Information Technologies Design and Production State Enterprise MILTA "PKP GIT", which is the conversion filial of the world-famous Russian State Cosmic Industry.

In fact, LLLT formed part of a complex, but energetically synergistic method of treatment, which is actually known as magneto-infrared-laser therapy (MILT). This form of therapy involves the influence of a constant magnetic field and LED red and infrared light irradiation, which help the infrared laser irradiation to attain penetration depths of 10 to 13 cm in the bio-tissues. This penetrative ability of the LLLI in the tissues through a complex but synergistically acting quanto-magnetic field assures the success of application of the treatment method for such internal organs as the liver and pancreas, which are directly responsible for the development and manifestation of diabetes mellitus. However, LLLT has been aimed as the major form of treatment in this complex therapeutic approach, where LEDCT is applied as a complementary, but useful and energo-harmonizing method of treatment.

Control tests of the blood sugar level were done before and after each session of quantum therapy. The energetic and functional control of the concerned organs and systems before, during and after the treatment courses was effected with the help of various diagnostic methods, out of which the leading one has been computerized electro-meridian scanning (CEMS) or electro-acupuncture method according to Dr. R. Voll (EAV).

Treatment was essentially carried out in the morning while patients were still observing a fasting regimen. Moreover, morning sessions of MILT are more effective and cause a harmonizing influence on the central and vegetative nervous systems of the human organism, apparently being more compatible with biorhythmic changes in the body. 

The period of treatment was from two weeks till 3 months, and in persistent cases, it was prolonged till 4-5 months, and only in an isolated case till 7 months. The average number of laser treatment sessions was between 9 and 36 in the majority of cases, and in laser quantum treatment sessions, amounting to more than 15 or 20, were broken down into treatment courses with an interval of not less than one month in between.  

RESULTS             

Amongst those patients who used hypoglycemic tablets, there were 2 adolescents and 18 adults with no children in this subgroup, whereas amongst those using actraphane insulin, there were 5 children, 6adolescents and 29 adults.

All patients, using actraphane insulin or hypoglycemic tablets, could stop all their anti-diabetic medications by the 6th. week of laser treatment.  

As a rule, significant falls by 50 till 200 mg/100 ml (average being 160 mg/100 ml) in the blood sugar level were observed after each session of laser treatment in 98.46 % of cases, except for those extreme cases of diabetes where the hyperglycemic level persisted after the treatment session in 1.54 % of cases. However, in later treatment courses, these resistant patients also reacted positively to their treatment after having crossed a certain threshold value, and finally attained recovery.

Complications due to diabetes, such as various pain syndromes, diabetic cardiomyopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, diabetic foot with ulcers and angiopathic changes as well as obesity disappeared practically completely and even impaired erectile function was restored up to the male patient's satisfaction and surprise.

It should be noted that in three cases where surgical intervention in the form of plastic surgery for skin grafting was performed for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers, no satisfactory results were obtained. However, treatment with MILT during a period of 3 to 6 weeks resulted into complete recovery of the diabetic ulcers with full soft tissue regeneration and restoration of local blood circulation.

In all cases, independent of the type of diabetes, where the patients observed all the recommendations given to them, the blood sugar level was normalized completely, and the patients don't need any more insulin or hypoglycemic tablets. More than 60 % of them could return to a normal alimentary regimen, eating and drinking sweet products in reasonable amounts. The rest (40 %) of thepatients had to observe certain diet restrictions, but they did not have to take any medications for maintaining a normal life.

In all 9 control patients who underwent the complex treatment for diabetes mellitus, there was no apparent side effect. Though the blood sugar level was initially within the normal range (60-120 mg/100 ml) for these control patients, a normalizing and stabilizing effect of quantum therapy upon the blood sugar level was noted. The blood sugar level had the tendency to go and stabilize in the range of 60 to 90 mg/100 ml. Moreover, an improvement in general health condition as well as in digestive processes was observed in these control patients. In four of them, unstability of gastro-intestinal functions, including consti-pation and flatulence, disappeared upon administration of laser treatment.             

FOLLOW-UP             

It is true that the follow-up is only a short-term one, i.e. for a period of not more than six years in all. In any case, neither a recurrence of pathological hyperglycemia nor another apparent manifestation of diabetes mellitus has been reported in any of the patients treated by the method of bioresonance information laser therapy.

CONCLUSIONS        

The first most important conclusion made during this clinico-experimental study is that even in advanced cases of diabetes mellitus, the pancreas retains its ability to restore the functional possibilities of its tissues as well as their regeneration, specifically the insulin-producing ß-cells of the Islets of Langerhans. Otherwise, without the functional restoration and structural regeneration of these islet cells, it would have been impossible to bring down the blood glucose level to normal valueswithout the use of any exogenous hypoglycemic medications. It should be well noted that the common thought, that it is impossible for the pancreas to restore its function and morphology in case of diabetes mellitus, has definitely come to an end in the history of this disease and mankind. 

Secondly, it has been ascertained from this study that the quantum energy of laser rays is capable of stimulating and causing the regeneration of pancreatic tissues, including the B-cells of the Islets of Langerhans, even in advanced disease states.    

Cold Laser Tharapy:

Laser therapy began to be utilized in Eastern Europe in the early 1960's.  Since then, scientists all over the world have conducted thousands of studies and clinical trials on the use of laser therapy both in vivo and in vitro.  While the majority of studies have concentrated on the biological, practical effects of laser therapy, many have attempted to explain the photo-biological methods behind the results.

An interesting theoretical model has to do with the increased production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), observed in many clinical trials. ATP acts as fuel for the cell and is produced by the mitochondrion, often referred to as the power plant of the cell. The mitochondrion has an inner membrane of large relative area, folded into a very tiny space. The surface of the membrane is packed with mushroom-shaped antenna-pigments that are receptive to photon energy – light. The mitochondrion utilizes this photon energy and transforms it into another kind of energy: ATP.

WHAT HAPPENS?

• ATP production is increased
  
• Cell proliferation accelerates
• Cell membrane potential normalizes
• Local concentration of lymphocytes, leucocytes and other immune enhancing cells multiplies
• Collagen formation is accelerated
• Growth of granulation tissue intensifies
• Fibroblast activity increases
• Microcirculation is enhanced
• Edemas are reduced
• Release of endorphins is induced  

Light and Color

What is color? 

color is simply light of different wavelengths and frequencies and light is just one form of energy made up from photons. We are all surrounded by electromagnetic waves of energy of which color is just a small part. 

The visible spectrum as we see it consists of the rainbow. Our retinas though have three types of color receptors in the form of cones. We can only detect three of these colors - red - blue and green. These colors are called additive primaries. It is these three colors that are mixed to create all of the other colors we see. 

Depending upon the wavelength and frequency of the light we see, depends upon the color we see. The seven colors of the spectrum all have varying wavelengths and frequencies. Red is at the lower end of the spectrum and has a higher wavelength but lower frequency to that of Violet at the top end of the spectrum which has a lower wavelength and higher frequency. 

Color from light:

Light is just one particular type of electromagnetic radiation. Other types of electromagnetic radiation include radio waves, infrared radiation (heat), ultraviolet radiation, x-rays and gamma - rays. Each type of radiation is distinguished by its wavelength, or frequency. Light is made up of many frequencies, color just being a small selection of these frequencies. 

The colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, all emanate from the sun, our provider of light.

These 7 colors become visible when a prism is placed in the path of sunlight. As the light passes through the prism, it is split into the seven visible colors of the spectrum by refraction. If sunlight passes through a prism, a band of colors like a rainbow is produced. This was discovered by Isaac Newton, who also formulated the theory of universal gravitation. The band of colors is called the color spectrum. The splitting of light in this way is called "dispersion". A rainbow is a color spectrum produced when sunlight passes through prisms consisting of water vapor (water droplets). 

Wavelength:

Wavelengths are measured in nanometers (nm). As we have discovered, each color has its own particular wavelength and frequency. Each color is measured in units of cycles or waves per second.  

 

If we can imagine light traveling in waves like that in an ocean, it is these waves that have the properties of wavelength and frequency. A wavelength is the distance between the same locations on adjacent waves. As an example; an ocean full of waves, that were 10 metres apart, could be classed as, having a wavelength of 10, whereas an ocean of waves that were 30 metres apart would be classed as having a wavelength of 30. The further the distance apart between to waves the LOWER the wavelength. 

The same applies to light. The color RED has a wavelength of around 700 nanometers long - one wave spans only 7 ten millionths of a metre! Whereas, Violet has a much lower wavelength, so each violet wave would span a much larger distance. 

The Visible Light: 

We perceive the light with the longest wavelengths as red and that with the shortest wavelengths as violet. The range of wavelengths the human eye is capable of perceiving is referred to as "visible light". 

Light with wavelengths longer than the longest in the range of visible light is said to be in the infrared range. Conversely, light with wavelengths shorter than the shortest in the range of visible light is said to be in the ultraviolet range. The human eye cannot see either infrared or ultraviolet light.

We can, however, perceive an enormous range of different colors, depending on the strength or weakness of the different wavelengths (the proportions in which they are mixed together). 

For our purpose we are interested in the "Visible" of the light/color ( or electromagnetic) spectrum.

 

WHAT IS LOW LEVEL LASER?

History of Lasers:

The term LASER is an acronym for:
Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. 

In order to clarify how low-level laser therapy affects the body, it is necessary to review basic laser physics and developmental anatomy. Many of the required scientific principles for the advent of lasers were set in place by the 19th and early 20th centuries. Descriptions of wave theory by Maxwell in 1864, quantum theory by Planck in 1905 and atomic structure by Bohr in 1913 paved the way for the future development of this technology.

The true father of lasers was Einstein, who theorized on the stimulated emission of radiation in 1917 as part of his paper on quantum theory. His theories evolved into practice with the development of masers (Microwave Amplification of the Stimulated Emission of Radiation) by Gordon in 1955 and lasers by Miaman in 1960. 

In 1960 Miaman developed the first laser, a ruby laser. This was a tube laser with a metal chamber, which contained the element ruby. When an electrical current excites the enclosed element, the atoms give off photons or packets of light energy. The photons bounced off a solid mirror on one end of the tube and out holes in the mirror on the other end of the tube. This light beam is unlike regular light in that it is coherent i.e., the photons are well ordered and synchronized. Laser light is also monochromatic, meaning it is of one pure color. 

Miaman's initial work with the ruby wavelength ushered in a tide of new lasers over the next few years. These included the HeNe and Nd:Yag lasers in 1961, the argon laser in 1962 and the CO2 laser in 1964. They were employed as dermatological systems from the time of their introduction.

Laser Light and Day Light:

A laser is a device that emits a special form of light. The light is special because it consists of light waves of a single wavelength, in which all the waves reinforce one another. (It is like a heavy surf with large waves breaking on a beach instead of many small waves.) It is also called coherent light, where the waves reinforce one another. 

Normal daylight is incoherent light and consists of varying wavelengths of all the colors of the rainbow, from blue (400 nanometers in length) to red (750 nanometers in length). In short laser light are no more than just normal visible light which we are exposed to when under the sun. Clinically studies shows that the most beneficially wavelength for biostimulation effects are in the Red or near infrared red region (from 630 to 850nm). 

For our purposes we are interested in this Red Spectrum however we shall also briefly examine other aspects of lasers and its characteristics.

Output Power of the Laser: 

Power is measured in watts (W). The strength or power output of a laser is thus measured in watts or milliwatts (mW = a thousands of a watt). Higher output power is of some consequence in that at a higher output one achieves a higher power density, which often is desirable. Also a higher output power means that a certain desired dose (input energy, measured in joules per cm2 of skin) is more quickly reached because energy is the same as power multiplied by time.

When you buy an ordinary lamp, it is usually it's power consumption (input power) that is specified, and almost never it's output power. For example a 60W lamp consumes 60Wattes of power and yields , typically, 1-2 watts of visible light power. The remaining 98-99% of the input power is converted to heat in the glass casing and metal socket and to directly emitted, invisible infrared radiation.

The power specified for a laser is always it's OUTPUT power. Hence a 60W laser consumes more than 60watts but yields 60 watts of (visible or invisible) radiation power.

  High Powered Laser Vs Low Power Laser:

There are 2 types of medical lasers : High Power Lasers and Low Power Lasers. In summary for high power laser or hot laser the output of laser energy is between 3000 to 10000 mW (milliwatts). It is usually used to solidify the bleeding and to cut the tissues, called "laser knife" or also known as "surgical lasers". In order for a laser to be suitable to be used as a surgical lasers, it must be powerful enough to heat up the tissues to temperature of over 50 degree C. 

On the other hand, low power laser or low level laser, the output is lower between 1 and 500 mW. The power is low and will not damage the hydrogen bonds in the tissues, does not cause any change but the photochemistry effect. Sometimes, low power laser is also called "cold laser" or "soft laser". For our purposes we also call it "Therapeutical lasers". 

  Clinical Research on Low Level Laser Therapy (Low Power Laser):

For the last 30 years, scientists in the United States and Europe have been researching the clinical uses of lasers. The research has partly focused on the use of low-level lasers in a process called photobiostimulation - their ability to stimulate a variety of cellular functions in a non-thermal (heat), non-destructive manner. Cold lasers, as they are called, are now available for use. 

Monochromatic light waves produced by laser light are the crucial factor in photo-biostimulation. Light and all electromagnetic energy travels as bundles of energy called photons. The center (nucleus) of an atom contains neutrons and protons. Electrons moving in specific orbits surround the nucleus. Energy, in the form of photons, is released when the electrons change orbits. 

It is these bundles of energy called photons that trigger biological changes within the body. We are constantly bombarded by random photons from ordinary light sources including sunlight. Light created by a laser or an LED device, have the ability to 'concentrate' these photons.

Photo - Bio Therapy (Light therapy):

When photons are introduced onto the skin, they are absorbed by the skin and underlying tissue, triggering biological changes within the body in this photo biostimulation process. Photon energy is absorbed by the DNA, thus activating it. The cell's DNA then transmits this new energy to the cell walls by means of a protein and calcium transfer. Then the cell walls transform themselves into healthy shapes, allowing the cell to function again at full capacity.

The tissues exposed to light increase blood flow, thus helping to carry vitamins and nutrients into the area where they are needed most, with no damage to surrounding tissues. As a result of increased blood flow, toxins and waste bi increased blood flow, toxins and waste bi-products products are taken away from the tissues. 

Light therapy is also called "photo therapy". For instance, visible red light has been shown to effect positive changes at a cellular level on living tissues. It is very beneficial in treating problems close to the surface. Skin layers, because of their high blood and water content, absorb red light very readily. 

Red light can be created by a laser or by an LED-type machine.

All About Lasers

 

Lasers show up in an amazing range of products and technologies. You will find them in everything from CD playersto dental drills to high-speed metal cutting machines to measuring systems. They all use lasers. But what is a laser? And what makes a laser beam different from the beam of a flashlight?

Photo courtesy NASA The Optical Damage Threshold test station at NASA Langley Research Center has three lasers: a high-energy pulsed ND:Yag laser, a Ti:sapphire laser and an alignment HeNe laser.

The Basics of an Atom:

There are only about 100 different kinds of atoms in the entire universe. Everything we see is made up of these 100 atoms in an unlimited number of combinations. How these atoms are arranged and bonded together determines whether the atoms make up a cup of water, a piece of metal, or the fizz that comes out of your soda can!

Atoms are constantly in motion. They continuously vibrate, move and rotate. Even the atoms that make up the chairs that we sit in are moving around. Solids are actually in motion! Atoms can be in different states of excitation. In other words, they can have different energies. If we apply a lot of energy to an atom, it can leave what is called the ground-state energy level and go to an excited level. The level of excitation depends on the amount of energy that is applied to the atom via heat,light, or electricty.

Here is a classic interpretation of what the atom looks like:

An atom, in the simplest model, consists of a nucleus and orbiting electrons.

This simple atom consists of a nucleus (containing the protons and neutrons) and an electron cloud. It’s helpful to think of the electrons in this cloud circling the nucleus in many different orbits.

Absorbing Energy:

Consider the illustration above. Although more modern views of the atom do not depict discrete orbits for the electrons, it can be useful to think of these orbits as the different energy levels of the atom. In other words, if we apply some heat to an atom, we might expect that some of the electrons in the lower-energy orbitals would transition to higher-energy orbitals farther away from the nucleus.

Absorption of energy: An atom absorbs energy in the form of heat, light, or electricity. Electrons may move from a lower-energy orbit to a higher-energy orbit.

This is a highly simplified view of things, but it actually reflects the core idea of how atoms work in terms of lasers.

Once an electron moves to a higher-energy orbit, it eventually wants to return to the ground state. When it does, it releases its energy as a photon -- a particle of light. You see atoms releasing energy as photons all the time. For example, when the heating element in a toster turns bright red, the red color is caused by atoms, excited by heat, releasing red photons. When you see a picture on a , what you are seeing is phosphor atoms, excited by high-speed electrons, emitting different colors of light. Anything that produces light TV screen- fluorescent lights, gas lanterns, incandescent bulbs - does it through the action of electrons changing orbits and releasing photons.

The Laser/Atom Connection:

A laser is a device that controls the way that energized atoms release photons. "Laser" is an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation, which describes very succinctly how a laser works.

Although there are many types of lasers, all have certain essential features. In a laser, the lasing medium is “pumped” to get the atoms into an excited state. Typically, very intense flashes of light or electrical discharges pump the lasing medium and create a large collection of excited-state atoms (atoms with higher-energy electrons). It is necessary to have a large collection of atoms in the excited state for the laser to work efficiently. In general, the atoms are excited to a level that is two or three levels above the ground state. This increases the degree of population inversion. The population inversion is the number of atoms in the excited state versus the number in ground state.

Once the lasing medium is pumped, it contains a collection of atoms with some electrons sitting in excited levels. The excited electrons have energies greater than the more relaxed electrons. Just as the electron absorbed some amount of energy to reach this excited level, it can also release this energy. As the figure below illustrates, the electron can simply relax, and in turn rid itself of some energy. This emitted energy comes in the form of photons (light energy). The photon emitted has a very specific wavelength (color) that depends on the state of the electron's energy when the photon is released. Two identical atoms with electrons in identical states will release photons with identical wavelengths.

Laser Light:

Laser light is very different from normal light. Laser light has the following properties:

• The light released is monochromatic. It contains one specific wavelength of light (one specific color). The wavelength of light is determined by the amount of energy released when the electron drops to a lower orbit.
• The light released is coherent. It is “organized” -- each photon moves in step with the others. This means that all of the photons have wave fronts that launch in unison.
• The light is very directional. A laser light has a very tight beam and is very strong and concentrated. A flashlight, on the other hand, releases light in many directions, and the light is very weak and diffuse.

To make these three properties occur takes something called stimulated emission. This does not occur in your ordinary flashlight -- in a flashlight, all of the atoms release their photons randomly. In stimulated emission, photon emission is organized.

The photon that any atom releases has a certain wavelength that is dependent on the energy difference between the excited state and the ground state. If this photon (possessing a certain energy and phase) should encounter another atom that has an electron in the same excited state, stimulated emission can occur. The first photon can stimulate or induce atomic emission such that the subsequent emitted photon (from the second atom) vibrates with the same frequency and direction as the incoming photon.

The other key to a laser is a pair of mirrors, one at each end of the lasing medium. Photons, with a very specific wavelength and phase, reflect off the mirrors to travel back and forth through the lasing medium. In the process, they stimulate other electrons to make the downward energy jump and can cause the emission of more photons of the same wavelength and phase. A cascade effect occurs, and soon we have propagated many, many photons of the same wavelength and phase. The mirror at one end of the laser is "half-silvered," meaning it reflects some light and lets some light through. The light that makes it through is the laser light.

You can see all of these components in the figures on the following page, which illustrate how a simple ruby laser works.

Types of Lasers:

There are many different types of lasers. The laser medium can be a solid, gas, liquid or semiconductor. Lasers are commonly designated by the type of lasing material employed:

• Solid-state lasers have lasing material distributed in a solid matrix (such as the ruby or neodymium:yttrium-aluminum garnet "Yag" lasers). The neodymium-Yag laser emits infrared light at 1,064 nanometers (nm). A nanometer is 1x10-9 meters.
• Gas lasers (helium and helium-neon, HeNe, are the most common gas lasers) have a primary output of visible red light. CO2 lasers emit energy in the far-infrared, and are used for cutting hard materials.
• Excimer lasers (the name is derived from the terms excited and dimers) use reactive gases, such as chlorine and fluorine, mixed with inert gases such as argon, krypton or xenon. When electrically stimulated, a pseudo molecule (dimer) is produced. When lased, the dimer produces light in the ultraviolet range.
• Dye lasers use complex organic dyes, such as rhodamine 6G, in liquid solution or suspension as lasing media. They are tunable over a broad range of wavelengths.
• Semiconductor lasers, sometimes called diode lasers, are not solid-state lasers. These electronic devices are generally very small and use low power. They may be built into larger arrays, such as the writing source in some laser printerd or CD players.

What's Your Wavelength?

A ruby laser (depicted earlier) is a solid-state laser and emits at a wavelength of 694 nm. Other lasing mediums can be selected based on the desired emission wavelength (see table below), power needed, and pulse duration. Some lasers are very powerful, such as the CO2 laser, which can cut through steel. The reason that the CO2 laser is so dangerous is because it emits laser light in the infrared and microwave region of the spectrum. Infrared radiation is heat, and this laser basically melts through whatever it is focused upon.

Other lasers, such as diode lasers, are very weak and are used in today’s pocket laser pointers. These lasers typically emit a red beam of light that has a wavelength between 630 nm and 680 nm. Lasers are utilized in industry and research to do many things, including using intense laser light to excite other molecules to observe what happens to them.

Here are some typical lasers and their emission wavelengths:

Laser Type	Wavelength (nm)
Argon fluoride (UV)	193
Krypton fluoride (UV)	248
Xenon chloride (UV)	308
Nitrogen (UV)	337
Argon (blue)	488
Argon (green)	514
Helium neon (green)	543
Helium neon (red)	633
Rhodamine 6G dye (tunable)	570-650
Ruby (CrAlO3) (red)	694
Nd:Yag (NIR)	1064
Carbon dioxide (FIR)	10600

Laser Classifications:

Lasers are classified into four broad areas depending on the potential for causing biological damage. When you see a laser, it should be labeled with one of these four class designations:

• Class I - These lasers cannot emit laser radiation at known hazard levels.
• Class I.A. - This is a special designation that applies only to lasers that are "not intended for viewing," such as a supermarket laser scanner. The upper power limit of Class I.A. is 4.0 mW.
• Class II - These are low-power visible lasers that emit above Class I levels but at a radiant power not above 1 mW. The concept is that the human aversion reaction to bright light will protect a person.
• Class IIIA - These are intermediate-power lasers (cw: 1-5 mW), which are hazardous only for intrabeam viewing. Most pen-like pointing lasers are in this class.
• Class IIIB - These are moderate-power lasers.
• Class IV - These are high-power lasers (cw: 500 mW, pulsed: 10 J/cm2 or the diffuse reflection limit), which are hazardous to view under any condition (directly or diffusely scattered), and are a potential fire hazard and a skin hazard. Significant controls are required of Class IV laser facilities.

 

Experimental Frequencies

 

Royal Rife is considered to be the father of frequency medicine. He described frequency in diseased and healthy organs and established many frequencies for various diseases and disorders. Since his famous work in the 1930's and 1940's many other studies have been done on frequencies by various researchers.
