Light is essential for life and has been used throughout the ages as a healing modality.  In recent years the most promising application of light for healing has come from light-emitting diodes (LED) that produce near-infrared light, a form of energy just outside the visible range.  Light-emitting diodes are the tiny, ultra-efficient bulbs that were developed as an offshoot of laser technology by NASA to speed up healing in space-traveling astronauts.  Researchers have found that cells exposed to LED light - that is, energy just outside the visible range - grow 150% to 200% faster than those cells not stimulated by such light. The light arrays increase energy inside cells that speed up the healing process.

Light-emitting diodes can deliver the same healing wavelengths of lasers, but they can do so in a safer, gentler, more convenient and cost-effective manner than their laser cousins.  Research has established that it is the light itself at specific wavelengths that is therapeutic, rather than the thermal effects.

This kind of light therapy has also been given the name "phototherapy," "photontherapy" and "photodynamic therapy."

Here is my testimonial: Over the years I have had increasing pain in the heels of my feet, particularly my right heel. It was to the point where it would hurt me to drive any long distance. I have tried heel inserts and Dr. Scholl’s rubber insoles. They didn’t really help. Then I discovered something that has turned my life around – red light. By attending the Untold Truth seminar over last winter (2005-2006) I was able to get light treatment for 30 minutes after each seminar class. My first 2 or 3 sessions helped take the pain away for about 4-5 days, then it gradually returned. However, once I purchased my own light I was able to use it more often and for longer sessions. By doing this, my heel pain has gone away. This year I have driven to Florida 4 times and not once did I experience heel pain. I also believe the green light has benefits, such as calming tired nerves and relaxing me so I can get a good nights rest, I also use the yellow light for my skin and to also give me a sense of relaxation. I enjoy using all the lights. Hope this helps. Ron

First used by Astronauts in space

LED's were first used by NASA to enhance the growth of plant tissue in space, particularly to grow plants on the Space Station.  Astronauts use the LED light produced energy to counteract the effects of long-term weightlessness; immune deficiency, pituitary insufficiency that leads to hormone imbalances in space, wound healing delays, and muscle and bone atrophy.  It's a long-term preventative daily treatment with the LEDs to help "goose" their cells into better health and overcome the problems of chronic weightlessness on the cells.

Research found that the LEDs also showed promise in many medical applications.

Soldiers in combat

Hand-held devices have been developed that are currently deployed in the Middle East and being tested on patients with various casualties, most notably laser eye injuries.  Laser eye injury is a new emerging battlefield threat.  There are many unclassified stories about our troops in Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan and North Korea that have been shot with lasers with the intent to blind, as well as the occasional inadvertent military laser injury with a range finder.  An LED array is currently on board a US Navy nuclear submarine for treatment of potential training injuries.

A lot of injuries result in an energy problem because the tissue is damaged, injured, and therefore has difficulties going through its normal processes of energy metabolism.  Usually there's a lot of swelling, which strangles the blood vessels.  You're getting inadequate oxygen and nutrients, so there's an energy crisis.  If there's a critical time such as in a stroke, spinal cord injury or in the case of retinal laser injury, it's those golden hours during which tissue that hasn't been completely destroyed is fighting for survival.  LEDs might make the difference between a small stroke or a large stroke, or between someone being paralyzed for life or walking again, or between someone having a tiny little blind spot from where the laser first hit to being completely blind because of the spreading injury around the entirety of the retina.

Children in cancer wards

NASA has funded Medical College research and clinical trials using LEDs to treat cancer patients following bone marrow transplants.  Mucositis, a very painful side effect of cancer treatment, produces throat and mouth ulcerations and gastrointestinal problems so sever that health suffers as chewing and swallowing food and drink become difficult or even impossible.  In the first trial at children's Hospital of Wisconsin, LED treatment proved so successful in treating mucositis in the young patients that another round of trials has been funded.  Children's hospital has essentially prevented mucositis since they've been treating patients once a day with handheld light emitting diode arrays.  The FDA is now collaborating with Children's to perform a multi-center trial throughout the United States and several foreign countries.  If the results of Children's is replicated in other centers and reproduce the same data which they have published, that will become the standard of care.

In a separate protocol, the FDA approved a multi-year investigation of the LEDs as an experimental treatment to examine the technology's effects on diabetic skin ulcers, serious burns and flesh wounds caused by radiation and chemotherapy treatments.

LED's have also been used to treat individuals with brain cancer tumors without the side effects of traditional or laser surgery.  This study, done by Harry T. Whelan, MD, Professor of Neurology, Pediatrics, and Hyperbaric Medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin and Glenn A. Meyer, MD, Professor of Neurosurgery, uses LEDs to activate light-sensitive, cancer-killing drugs that can kill tumor cells beyond the surgeon's reach without harming healthy cells.

We are already benefiting from the healing properties of near-infrared light in ways that could only be imagined a few years ago.  "The potential is quite endless." says Dr. Whelan.  "I like to say that the history of medicine, since the beginning of time, has been poisons and knives.  Drugs usually poison some enzyme system for the benefit of the patient.  Think about the drugs you take:  Digitalis is digitoxin; it's from the foxglove plant and it poisons your heart gently to help you with cardiac disease.  Motrin and aspirin basically poison the prostaglandin system to decrease pain by poisoning the inflammatory cascade.  Blood thinners basically poison the clotting system, and on and on and on.

"So all these drugs that we take are poisons carefully dosed to help the patient.  And then, of course, knives.  That's surgery, in which you have to cut the patient in order to cure.  In this particular strategy, what we're trying to do is use the energy of certain specific wavelengths of light, which are carefully studied in our research lab, to determine those that will enhance the cells' normal biochemistry instead of poisoning something that is supposed to occur or cutting at it.  I consider that a paradigm shift in the entire approach to medicine that has the potential, therefore, to alter all kinds of disease processes, particularly any in which there's an energy crisis for the tissue."

In the past decade, the Food and Drug Administration has approved various LED devices for the purposes of increasing local circulation, the reduction of pain, and for relieving muscular tension and spasms.  Research by NASA, the U.S. military, the Mayo Clinic, the National Cancer Institute and prominent national and international universities has demonstrated a wide range of effective clinical applications for LED therapy.

Other LED researchers have noted that certain infrared wavelengths stimulate the local release of nitric oxide, thereby enhancing increased blood flow to an area.

The infrared lights' healing effects are also attributable to the specific light wavelength's ability to stimulate the production of collagen, increase RNA and DNA synthesis, reduce the excitability of nervous tissues, increase lymphatic drainage and stimulate healing neural processes.
 

Alan, I love my lights!!!  If you have trouble sleeping the green is wonderful to fall asleep under. I have had a broken neck and suffer from headaches, 15 minutes under the red light and my headache is gone.   An added benefit is it helps with wrinkles.   I am from Phoenix, AZ and in Scottsdale there is a place that charges $1500.00 for 1/2 hour red light treatment for wrinkles.   What a find and treasure.   Thanks Alan!!

Dear Mr. VitaHerbs, I just wanted to thank you for introducing me to LED Light Therapy. Recently I was involved in an accident where I broke both of my wrists. I’ve been using my red LED light to ease the pain, swelling, stiffness and bruising in my wrists. It’s been great having my light! Thanks Mr. VitaHerbs! Paul Cincinnati, Ohio

Because of my business with you in the past I found the delightful LED systems that you sell...I just got mine yesterday and it has already made a difference in my ankle that was doubly broken in November...the treatment that I have done in the last 24 hours has relieved the stress and pain that I get in the afternoon and morning from the damage that is healing from surgery...So very amazed at the speed and instant relief I get from the LED....I have also gotten instant relaxation in my entire body from placing the light just above the middle of the top of my head , temples and base of my skull. It is so nice to have you out there selling products that are reasonably priced with such speedy service.

Today one of my friends ordered one blue LED just from my experience...May this happen to you allot!!!

Thanks again

Sincerely
