HEALING WITH SINGLE FREQUENCY LIGHT
by: Olszewski, David, E.E., I.E.
EARLY EXPERIMENTS
In 1965, the Russians and Czechs were trying to
standardize colour therapy, which is the use of colours to treat the
body. When they used a single colour on a number of people, they got
different reactions because colour affects emotions and produces
different effects. The Russians wanted to have a standard treatment,
so they theorized that if they isolated one frequency of blue, or
red, they could duplicate colour therapy on a regulated basis. They
started separating different frequencies with lasers, and they
discovered a lot more than they expected to find. They discovered
that a single frequency light in a laser can stimulate DNA in damaged
cell tissue. They used a low power laser under 50-milliwatts because
higher lasers can cut tissue.
PULSED VS.CONTINUOUS LASER
They discovered that if they used a pulsed
laser light, the tissue healed rapidly. On the other hand, if they
gave a continuous beam, it sedated the cell and killed the pain. When
a single frequency pulsed light hit the cell, it actually stimulated
the cell to start producing more protein than it normally does, and
as a result, the cell would heal. Even when they took the light away,
the cell continued its healing. The continuous beam had a reverse
effect. It actually caused the cell membrane to relax; it killed
pain, reduced inflammation and made muscle tissue relax.
INCREASED HEALING IN THE 660 nm WAVELENGTH
It didn't matter what the
frequency was. It could be infrared, red, blue, or green, as long as
it was single although, as you move toward the red end of the
spectrum, the rate of cellular regeneration increased. For instance,
a single frequency in the green range might affect the kidney 40
times better than a normal base-line study, whereas a red would be
about 4,000 times faster. So over the years they migrated to
infrared, red and eventually the 660 nanometer wavelength because it
was the fastest way to regenerate tissue. So if you have an injury
you would normally recover from in ten days, you can actually recover
that tissue in two days by treating it with light.
WAVELENGTH OF CELL TISSUE About ten years later at the
University of
Chicago, researchers discovered that the average wavelength of cell
tissue in the human body ranged between 600 nanometers and 720 nm;
660 is the mid-point. So in essence, the reason a 660 nm works better
than any other single frequency is because it is closer to the
resonant frequency of cell tissue. The other reason is that 660 nm
absorbs better in hemoglobin.
LASER LIGHT VS LIGHT EMITTING DIODES (LED) When this
therapy reached
the U.S. and Canada, both lasers and light-emitting diodes at 660
nanometers were being used. The LED diffuses; the single frequency
laser does not. With this diffusion, the cell can actually be in
control of the treatment and shut off the molecules when it was done.
But with the laser, the cells are no longer in control; the doctor or
the practitioner applying the laser is in control. If he does it too
long or with too much strength, you would not only heal the tissue,
but you would start a deterioration again. So basically, the use of
light-emitting diodes eliminated the draw back of lasers, and light
could be applied into such sensitive areas as the eyes and around the
face. LEDs allowed this whole area to blossom into a much larger
usage by average people in their homes. Tiina Karu, Ph.D. of the
Laser Technology Center in Russia, and affiliated with the University
of California at Berkely, probably the top researcher in the world on
the use of lasers and light emitting diodes published a study in
Health and Physics Digest called "Photobiological Effects of
Lasers"
which discusses photobiological stimulation without laser light. The
article explains that you can do laser treatment without using laser
light, by using light emitting diodes which are much safer. Since the
cells are basically in control of the process, there is no way to
overuse light.
THE MERIDIAN SYSTEM Acupuncturists discovered that
single frequency
light could activate acupressure points. Pulse light could stimulate
it; continuous light could sedate the acupuncture points. But they
also discovered that light applied to a meridian end-point can
actually be traced flowing through the meridian to the organ
acupuncture points. The meridian system is a useful pathway for
getting light deeper into the body, so if you are treating things
like asthma in the lungs, there is an alternate method of getting
light into the lungs.
DEPTH OF LIGHT PENETRATION As we developed more types
of lights with
different geometrical shapes, we were able to actually get light
deeper into the body without going through the meridians. Initially,
single frequency light penetrated approximately an inch and a half,
but today, larger units can penetrate up to eight inches. It will go
through the skull. We use it on strokes, concussions and internal
problems in the brain. Excellent studies have been done using light
for pain relief, degenerative osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel
tendonitis, skin ailments, acne, psoriasis, healing of the sinus
cells, throat and ear problems, whiplash and lower back problems.
PENETRATING THROUGH THE BLOOD STREAM You can even get
light into the
blood stream. One of the best ways is through your belly button,
because the aorta artery is behind the belly button. So if you insert
the light there for 20 minutes, every drop of blood in the body will
pass in front of the light, increasing the activity of your white
cells, red cells, B-cells and T-cells, so you can boost your whole
immune system.
ACUTE VS CHRONIC CONDITIONS If you use lasers or
light-emitting
diodes, it will actually speed up healing by a factor of five. If you
have chronic conditions like osteoarthritis or whiplash from 15 years
ago, conditions that are not responding or are deteriorating, the use
of laser and LED light has actually stimulated regeneration. I
believe light is going to play the biggest part in chronic conditions
for people who have already explored a lot of other modalities and
have found no solution.
BRAIN WAVE STUDIES We were studying the diagnosis of
illnesses like
leukemia, etc through brainwave patterns. We were surprised to find
that when we treat the person with light, or with heat, that when the
body starts healing, it shifts into what is called a healing profile
where beta waves disappear, and alpha, theta and delta appear like
you wouldn't even find in a yogi.
"I oppose sunglasses. Sunglasses are the main reason why the UV
light
destroys the eyes. This occurs because your pupils expand when you
wear sunglasses, and the exposure can destroy your eyes even
quicker". - Meier Schneider
