Deep Photon Infrared LED Light

NASA Space Technology Shines Light on Healing - Release: 00-336 For Release December 18, 2000.

Doctors at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee have discovered the healing power of light with the help of technology developed for NASA's Space Shuttle.

LEARN ABOUT HOW DEEP PHOTON INFRARED LIGHT:

Increases energy inside the cells (indispensible in overcoming cancer)
Speeds up healing on a cellular level
Produces the same light wave doctors need to remove tumors
150 to 200 percent faster growth of skin and muscle cells
40-50 percent improvement in musculoskeletal training injuries
77% to 91% reduced pain (often a problem with cancerous activity)

Using powerful light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, originally designed for commercial plant growth research in space, scientists have found a way to help patients here on Earth.

Doctors are examining how this special lighting technology helps hard-to-heal wounds, such as diabetic skin ulcers, serious burns, and severe oral sores caused by chemotherapy and radiation. The project includes laboratory and human trials, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The Budwig Center is pleased to be leaders in Spain and Europe teaching this cutting edge therapy that according to the American manufacturer is able to penetrate so deep into the body that the healing rays can reach right to the bones. Before "Deep Photon therapy" was invented healing infrared rays could only reach about 1.5 to 2 inches depth of penetration. The combination of infrared and LED lights is part of the clever design of this therapy. With Dr. Budwig's plan, the timorous cancer cells follow their normal cycle and ultimately disappear as cells do. She was not into destroying cells but restoring cells. Deep Photon therapy works on the same principle. Used in conjunction with the flaxseed oil and cottage cheese mixture of Dr. Budwig this enables the cells to store photons from the sun, creating more healing energy; a good reason to be outside on a sunny day, collecting photons for at least 30 minutes or more daily and using Photon therapy on a regular basis.

"So far, what we've seen in patients and what we've seen in laboratory cell cultures, all point to one conclusion;" said Dr. Harry Whelan, professor of paediatric neurology and director of hyperbaric medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin. "The near-infrared light emitted by these LEDs seems to be perfect for increasing energy inside cells. This means whether you're on Earth in a hospital, working in a submarine under the sea or on your way to Mars inside a spaceship, the LEDs boost energy to the cells and accelerate healing."

"A few weeks ago I experienced a semi-deafness in first one ear and in then in both ears. It was like my ears were plugged. The deafness would come upon me in the morning and then would gradually go away over the next few hours, but it did not stop. It happened every day or two and was getting progressively worse, such that I would experience this semi-deafness for more and more hours of the day. (I am 60 years old). Finally I decided that maybe I would go with the possibility of excess earwax. I figured that maybe I could soften the earwax with the red light [Deep Photon] and then see if I could scrape some out. In the evening when I lay down, I irradiated my left ear on the NICO setting for 30 minutes [using the Deep Photon] and then tried to clean my ear. Nothing. So I did it again and went to sleep. So that evening I did about 60 minutes. The next morning I arose and went for a walk. When I got back I took a shower. Afterwards I was drying myself off with my towel and I cleaned my ear. AND ALL THIS STUFF CAME OUT!!!. I dirtied a whole towel cleaning out my left ear. But I still could not hear well. That evening I did the same thing and the next morning after showering I again used a whole towel to clean my ear. I still could not hear well. The third day I repeated the whole scenario and boom I could hear. I repeated the procedure on my right ear. Nothing dramatic happened except that I could hear again. The earwax just gradually migrated out to where I could remove it with a towel" says Douglas Porter Owen - Oct 6/09

Dr. Whelan's NASA-funded research has already seen remarkable results using the light-emitting diodes to promote healing of painful mouth ulcers caused by cancer therapies such as radiation and chemotherapy. The treatment is quick and painless.

"NASA is proud to support a program that helps children with brain cancer -and promises to help even greater numbers of people with technology to accelerate the healing process. The LEDs needed to grow plants in space produced the same wavelengths of light the doctor needed to remove brain tumors," said Ignatius.

In the laboratory, Whelan and his team have shown that skin and muscle cells grown in cultures and exposed to the LED infrared light grow 150 to 200 percent faster than ground control cultures not stimulated by the light. Scientists are trying to learn how cells convert light into energy, and identify which wavelengths of light are most effective at stimulating growth in different kinds of cells.

To expand the wound healing study, Whelan - a commander and diving medical officer in the U.S. Navy reserve assigned to Naval Special Warfare Command (Naval Special Warfare Group TWO) - is working with doctors at Navy Special Warfare Command centers in Norfolk, VA, and San Diego, CA. They reported a 40 percent improvement in patients who had musculoskeletal training injuries treated with the light-emitting diodes.

A wound-healing device was placed on the USS Salt Lake City submarine, and doctors reported 50 percent faster healing of crewmember's lacerations when exposed to the LED light. Injuries treated with the LEDs healed in seven days, while untreated injuries took 14 days.

The LED research project will continue for the next 18 months, with doctors studying 100 patients at two major teaching affiliates of the Medical College of Wisconsin. Researchers will continue to examine the influence of LEDs on cells grown in the laboratory, and will explore the benefits that LEDs might provide to counteract possible cell damage caused by exposure to harmful radiation and weightlessness during long space missions.

Therapeutic Light - By Chukuka S. Enwemeka, PT, PhD, FACSM

Light is a form of energy that behaves like a wave and also as a stream of particles called photons. Dr Budwig the famous German doctor who was nominated seven times for the Nobel Prize discovered the affinity of the human body with the sun. She found that if the body has the right balance of oils and proteins, it has a magnetic field which attracts the photons in sunlight and thus is open to the healing powers of the sun.

The development of monochromatic light sources with single or a narrow spectra of wavelengths paved the way for studies, which continue to show that appropriate doses and wavelengths of light are therapeutically beneficial in tissue repair and pain control. Evidence indicates that cells absorb photons and transform their energy into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the form of energy that cells utilize. The resulting ATP is then used to power metabolic processes; synthesize DNA, RNA, proteins, enzymes, and other products needed to repair or regenerate cell components; foster mitosis or cell proliferation; and restore homeostasis. More recent reports include studies that indicate that 77% to 91% of patients respond positively to light therapy when treated thrice weekly over a period of 4 to 5 weeks. Not surprisingly, CTS is one of the first conditions for which the FDA granted approval of low power light therapy.
