Guest guest Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 laser or pulsed laser can't hold a candle to PEMF... period. END OF STORY! read your research. done at the proper frequency and intensity…nothing beats PEMF. asers are lame, time consuming and maybe 50% the effect of PEMF at night. seriously. you 'longevity' people are ASLEEP. you think i'm here promoting???…. i'm here to wake you up. opposition welcome…debate the research…it'll .crush you. i toss the gauntlet down. love and light…. ____________________________________________ F.

Heobserved that low energy laser exposure has a stimulating effect on thebiological system, while high-energy laser exposure had an inhibiting effect.In his experiments with wound treatment on mice, he noticed rapid healing dueto microcirculation of blood supply. This healing was also obvious in laserlight treatment of diabetic patients suffering with dystrophic sores. He wasamazed to find sores that would not otherwise heal were healed, and he alsoobserved accelerated hair growth and thickening of hair in the treated areas.This theory through its evolution has since been refined and is widely becomingone of the most popular non-invasive hair loss treatments. Laser researcher Dr.J. Layton states: … **Laser Hair Therapy increases microcirculation ofthe hair follicle, which allows nutrients and freshly oxygenated blood toaccess the hair follicle with the results being a stimulation of the naturalhair growth cycle.** Dr. Trelles (1984) In 1984, Dr. Trelles showed in one study that patients withalopecia areata who were treated with He-Ne laser 632,8 nm showed a goodresponse. Dr. Trelles reported that most of the patients with alopecia areataresponded well after only 6 to 8 treatments administered twice a week for acouple of weeks. The He-Ne laser was placed 30 centimeters from the alopeciaareata with dosages ranging from 3-4 Joule per sq. cm. No fibres or lenses wereused. In the same study, microscopic evaluation of the hair shaft structure onthe alopecia areata irradiated areas showed a clear medulla rich in keratinafter treatment. Daily treatments appeared to prevent regrowth, causing irritationwith probable increase in hair loss. Japan LaserTherapy Association (1992) At the 4th annual Meeting of the Japan Laser TherapyAssociation in 1992, success was reported with an increase in both hair growthand the density of the hair follicles in the laser treated areas of both maleand female stress alopecia and alopecia areata with only one failure out of 40cases reported in two papers. Laser Conference, HelsinkiFinland(1993) An unpublished study presented at Laser Conference, Helsinki, Finland1993 shows the effect of LLLT on Androgenetic Alopecia. A double-blindcomparative study with placebo laser for treatment of Hereditary AndrogeneticAlopecia in young males was presented in Helsinki 1993 describing the positive effect of LLLT treatments on hair growth,stop of hair loss and hair shaft tensile strength. At the Helsinki Laser Conference research resultsdemonstrating the effect of LLLT compared to a placebo group was presented. Itwas found that hair re-growth was clearly shown in the laser group. In additionall patients, with the exception of one, in the laser-treated group showed acomplete stop of hair loss. All patients, except 3, showed a clear hairre-growth of hair with a reduction of at least one category in the Hamilton classification. Post-treatment showed the dermis with almost the same amountof hair follicles as pretreatment, although a number of new follicles could beseen with clearly noticeable hair growth. 50% of the follicles are now in theanagen phase (growth). When comparing the histological findings, transformationinto anagen hair follicles could be observed in 83% of the patients on lasertreatment but in none of the placebo patients. Out of 18 patients, 14 showed anincrease in hair thickness, and all 18 showed improvement in general hair shaftquality measured with the hair stretcher. The results showed no improvement in the placebo group orany adverse effects of the treatment. Prof. Pekka J. Pöntinen (1996) Professor Pöntinen is one of the pioneers of LLLT in Scandinavia thorough theoretical and practical studies onhow to apply low level laser therapy in the treatment of chronic, especiallymusculoskeletal and myofascial pain and dysfunction, vascular disturbances,wound and ulcer treatment etc. Prof. Pekka J. Pöntinen established the beneficial effect ofLaser Hair Care® on scalp blood flow and published his results in 1996. The effects of hair lasers on skin blood flow were measuredon three different devices to establish the effect of scalp blood flow. Thehair lasers used were Laser Hair Care (670 nm ), a He-Ne (632.8 nm ) lasercontaining one laser transferring light via fibres and lenses to the patientand a laser identical to the Laser Hair Care where the lasers were replaced(placebo). The differences in the laser systems are illustrated by thefact that Laser Hair Care increased scalp blood flow by 54%. The He-Ne hairlaser had no effect while the Placebo decreased flow rate by 36%. In addition,the skin temperatures measured before and after the treatment showed littlechange. European Studies (1997) In 1997 a European group of scientist’s published their workon LLLT in the treatment of alopecia of the scalp. The authors tried to verifythe efficacy of low energy laser (LLLT) in scalp alopecia. Sixty patients weredivided in two groups: A) laser group, 33 patients treated with both LLLT andclassical therapy; control group, 27 patients treated only with classicaltherapy, Before, during and after treatment, historical samples were done. For the group A the results were rather superior but in atwice shorter time shorter time than group B. The maintenance of the goodresults needed classical therapy for a long period. They conclude that LLLTtherapy could have a useful complementary method for the treatment of scalpalopecia. The same European group of scientist’s published theirfindings on LLLT use in the treatment of alopecia and crural ulcers in 1998.The authors tried to verify the efficacy of LLLT in scalp alopecia and cruralulcers of different causes. Laser used was (red diode, continuous emission, 8mW power, wave length 670 nm spot size about 5 mm diameter on some points. Theyalso use as control classical therapy. Before, during and after treatment,histological samples were taken from alopecia regions. For the laser groups(alopecia and ulcers) the results were rather superior and in a three or twicetime shorter than the control group. They conclude that LLLT therapy is a veryuseful complementary method for the treatment of scalp alopecia and cruralulcers.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Laser stuff has been around for quite a while and is pretty much worthless. For MPB, your best bet is Avodart to keep the hair that you have, and maybe a regrowth stimulant. It is DHT inside the hair follicle that will make your hair fall out. But it also caused scarring, irreparable damage. Inflammation is another factor. But anyway, it is far far easier to prevent further hairloss than it is to regrow or reverse the damage. Avodart and Proscar hair count studies http://dutasteride.org/dutasteride/dutasteride_results.htm Minoxidil may re-grow a little hair in some people. But not much. It is completely different from Avodart or Proscar. Minoxidil is a regrowth stimulant. It works by boosting nitric oxide, hence the NO in miNOxidil. So maybe some arginine would be a little helpful. Nizoral shampoo has been shown to be a regrowth stimulant. See here: http://blog.pharmacymix.com/nizoral-shampoo-ketoconazole-2-can-reverse-hair-loss\ -3-references-2 And here for the most recent study with pictures: http://www.hairsite.com/hair-loss/forum_entry-id-25116-page-0-category-0-order-l\ ast_answer.html Some think that Nizoral works because it is an anti-androgen. But there is plenty of reason to believe that something else is going on. So in my opinion, the best approach for preventing hairloss in men, and maybe regrowing a little is to take Avodart (or at least Proscar), and use Nizoral shampoo 3 or 4 times a week. And maybe adding a little minoxidil to the equation with give some additional regrowth for about 5 years.....if you don't mind the hassle of putting it on every day.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Side Effects of Avodart - for the Consumer http://www.drugs.com/sfx/avodart-side-effects.html Avodart All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome when using Avodart: Breast enlargement and/or tenderness; decreased sex drive; decreased volume of ejaculate; inability to have an erection. A high price to pay for vanity. Re: 6 Reported Studies on LLT in Hair Loss Laser stuff has been around for quite a while and is pretty much worthless.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Thank you for your thoughts and the information. I will be building a laser helmet that has proven successful at growing hair, among other things -- in several studies including a one year study. Long-term (1-year) experience with LDS 100 in the treatment of men and women with androgenetic alopecia http://www.regrowth.com/lowlevellasertherapy/lds100-androgeneticalopecia.cfm However to cure or treat hair loss is not my goal - for several years they have been doing research with low level laser helmets and significantly improving memory + increasing cognitive abilities, reversing dementia and Alzheimer's. There are also studies showing that it works - though " officially " it is considered not enough proof as yet... but that should change in the not to distant future as there is just so much publicity around this issue, plus too many important institutes in several countries have got into the act. DHT is not the answer by itself - if it was there would have been " cures " for hair loss a long long time ago-- not treatments , but 'cures'. Calcium which has calcified on the scalp and in the hair follicles is another issue which causes hair loss - this can be corrected by rubbing liquid transdermal magnesium into the scalp everyday for several weeks however. Then stimulating regrowth easily without any hassles with low level lasers. Well go ahead and believe that healing things with lasers is worthless. That will be your loss ,not mine. Your mindset is a shame though......... I don't think you know much about lasers or you would know that there are frequencies emitted by lasers which can cut metal, others that are used in hospitals to cut flesh and bone; there are other lasers with different frequencies which stimulate healing and are used for that purpose by many health professionals even in North America. There are even laser frequencies which they have proven in studies do kill bacteria - and healing frequencies in lasers are being used successfully today to get rid of allergies as well as environmental sensitivities very successfully, which is great for many people but in my opinion, especially for those with asthma and autism. The frequencies of the healing lasers do not actually heal anything - they just stimulate the body to heal itself.....Lasers are very successful at getting rid of pain and in studies have shown to be even more effective consistently then even drugs...in fact both the FDA and Health Canada have approved a couple of laser devices for pain several years ago. I have been looking into lasers since last August when I found out how effective and inexpensive healing with lasers could be. Healing lasers work WITH living organisms to rebalance and heal - the abilities of the human body to help itself are amazing, but sometimes just needs a bit of stimulation and help. For your sake, hopefully you will follow your instincts and look further then the likes of Barret for information. blessings Shan > > > ** > > > > > > > > Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Reported Studies of > > LLLT in Hair Loss (Man & Woman) > > > > http://www.manegain.com/3%20-%20Reported%20Studies%20of%20LLLT%20in%20Hair%20Los\ s.pdf > > > > > > Professor Andre Mester (1964) > > > > In 1964, Professor Andre Mester began experimenting with theuse of > > low-power laser energy in Budapest, Hungary.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Actually that is one of the things that I appreciate so much about some of the frequencies that are used in lasers - no side effect. That is not to say that lasers can just be used any which way safely and effectively - cause that is not so. Lasers are a tool and are as effective as the person using it. One of the ways that healing lasers heal is to stimulate damaged cells to heal themselves - all cells have frequencies which are used to communicate and cause biochemical reactions of many kinds - the healing frequency 635nm that I like best is the same frequency as healthy living cells, and actually changes the frequency of damaged and/or unbalanced cells to that of healthy living cells. ----- The following excerpts are all from...... How does light therapy work? http://lazrpulsr.com/files/How_does_light_therapy_work.htm Is all light therapy the same? By Dr. Gerry Graham, III The mechanism of action for 635nm light: Biological light receptors in living tissue, termed chromophores, have peak activation at wavelengths between 600nm and 720nm. The most commonly used wavelengths to activate these chromophores are from 630nm to 635nm. This is because even though different chromophores have peak activation somewhere between 600nm and 720nm, each chromophore can still be activated within a wider wavelength spectrum. 635nm falls within the wavelength spectrum of all biological chromophores in man and animals. This means there is no need to utilize multiple colors of lasers to activate the different chromophores in the body. One wavelength – 635nm – has the potential to activate every biological photo-sensitive receptor in the body. For this reason, the LazrPulsr System have selected only 635nm lasers for the therapy lasers. There are three specific and unique methods the 635nm wavelength lasers of the LazrPulsr 4X modulates tissues: 1. Within the cell, the signal is transduced and amplified by a photon acceptor (chromophore). When a chromophore first absorbs light, electronically excited states are stimulated, primary molecular processes are initiated which lead to measurable biological effects. These photobiological effects are mediated through a secondary biochemical reaction, photosignal transduction cascade, or intracellular signaling which amplifies the biological response. 2. The ionizing effects of LLLT allow photon acceptors to accept an electron. This turns on the oxidation-reduction cycle of the stimulated chromophores such as Cytochrome oxidase, hemoglobin, melanin, and serotonin. Changing the re-dox state of the chromophore changes the biological activity of that chromophore e.g., hemoglobin changes its oxygen carrying capacity. This has the potential to triple the oxygen carrying capacity of blood instantly. 3. When photon energy breaks a chemical bond, changes occur in the allosteric proteins in cell membranes (cell, mitochondrial, nuclear) and monovalent and divalent fluxes activate cell metabolism and intracellular enzymes directly. Direct activation of cell membranes alters ion fluxes, particularly calcium, across that membrane. Changes in intracellular calcium alter the concentrations of cyclic nucleotides, causing an increase in DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis, which stimulate mitosis and cellular proliferation. When any of the above occurs, the initial biological reaction rapidly catalyzes thousands of other chemicals similar to the calcium regulated, 2nd messenger cAMP cascade. This biological amplification process produces systemic effects – which means that as you are treating a wound on the left hand, the wound on your right hand and the injury to your liver and kidney are also being treated equally as well. So while the infrared manufactures brag about a 2 inch penetration of their energy, true therapeutic lasers are profoundly more advanced, producing systemic therapeutic results. These three actions produce four separate and distinct functions that are clearly understood in the body. 1. Growth factor production occurs within cells and tissue in response to increased ATP and protein synthesis. This initiates mitosis and cell proliferation by changing the cell, mitochondrial, or nuclear membranes permeability to monovalent (Na+, K+) and divalent (Ca++, Mg++) ions (Karu 1987, 1998, 2002). 2. Pain relief results from suppression of the nociceptor response mediated by increased serotonin and endorphin release (Sumano et al., 1987a, 1987b). 3. Immune-modulation and mitigation of the inflammatory response occur because the mononuclear phagocytic cells, mast cells, and leukocytes are stabilized preventing the release of harmful inflammatory mediators (Amano 1994). In addition, vasodilatation and increased microcirculation allows a rapid return to homeostasis and promotes first intention healing (Sumano 1987a, 1987b; Fiszerman and Rozenbom 1995). 4. Direct trigger point stimulation allows direct release of endorphins and other endogenous pain mediators such as serotonin, VIP, substance P, prostaglandins, etc. (Kaada, B and Eielson O, 1983, Kaada, Olsen and Eielson,1985). --- Low Level visible red Laser therapy devices Unlike the infrared devices that are only concerned about the heat that is delivered, these lasers are very complex in their actions because they are designed to stimulate the physiology of the body through a mechanism called biomodulation or photobiomodulation. These principles of light or energy medicine originated in the quantum physics of Einstein himself. He first introduced the concept of the LASER " light amplification by stimulated emission radiation " . He also stated that every living cell emits radiation called the " photon emission of living cells " , or what we commonly refer to as the aura. Albert Einstein, in 1917, proposed all living and nonliving matter represented dynamic electromagnetic fields, which exist in an electromagnetic environment – the universe! It took nearly 60 years for fellow physicists to begin to comprehend Einstein's holistic worldview of quantum mechanics, and the relationship between matter, energy and health. Due to the low power density and the properties of the wavelength used, the true low level therapy lasers are only capable of delivering a physiological dose of therapy. Some consider this limited because it is dependent on the ability of the patient to respond to care which creates less consistent and predictable outcomes. However, when you consider that this therapy actually gives the body a greater ability to respond you can see that it has expanded the limits of what can be accomplish. One of the most important aspects of a physiological dose of therapy is that it is safe. It is safe no mater what the condition or pathology is, no matter what medications the patient is on, no matter what the patient may be allergic to, no matter what, a true LLLT unit will " …DO NO HARM! " One of the most profound physiological effects of low level therapeutic lasers is the effect of Neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity represents the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. Neuroplasticity provides a way for nerve cells (neurons) in the brain to respond and compensate for injury and disease and adjust neuronal activity in response to a new situation or to changes in the environment. Reorganizing the brain occurs by the mechanism of " axonal sprouting " where damaged axons grow new nerve endings to reconnect neurons whose links were injured or severed. Undamaged axons can also contribute new nerve endings and connect with other undamaged nerve cells, forming new neural pathways to accomplish a needed function. In order for neurons to reconnect or form new connections, the neurons need active stimulation. LLLT provides one of the most powerful stimulants for Neuroplasticity known today and it provides that stimulation in a safe, therapeutically correct, organized manner. Neuroplasticity, represents unlimited potential to retrain the brain after injury. However, Neuroplasticity can also contribute to impairment. For example, deaf individuals may suffer from continual ringing in the ears (tinnitus), which results from faulty rewiring of the brain cells starved for sound. For beneficial neural connections to form, neurons must be stimulated correctly. Neuroplasticity represents a new rapidly evolving approach to healing. Given any trauma, realizing all traumas involve the central nervous system recognizing the trauma (consciously or subconsciously), quick response with active neuronal stimulation, could theoretically maintain, repair, retain most CNS functions (learning, memory, speech, emotional distress, movement, balance etc.). In simpler terms, theoretically the proper immediate use of LLLT therapy post trauma, especially brain trauma, could eliminate much of the neurological disabilities common in head trauma today. Even the simplest memory stimulates complex neural networks at several different sites in the brain. The content (what happened) and meaning (how it felt) of an event are laid down in separate parts of the brain. The goal of neuroplastic therapy is to connect these sites to resolve the damaged, disjointed, dysfunctional nervous systems. " …The effect of LLLT on the brain is not magic, it's malleable " As with the infrared lasers, the wavelength and power density selected for an LLLT laser is very important, but for very different reasons. There are also a third and fourth component that is critically important for the LLLT laser use. One is the light source and the properties of the light itself and the other is frequency. It is not only important for the light to be pulsed but the frequency it is pulsed is specific to the therapeutic response desired -------------------- blessings Shan > > > ** > > > > > > > > Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Reported Studies of > > LLLT in Hair Loss (Man & Woman) > > > > http://www.manegain.com/3%20-%20Reported%20Studies%20of%20LLLT%20in%20Hair%20Los\ s.pdf > > > > > > Professor Andre Mester (1964) > > > > In 1964, Professor Andre Mester began experimenting with theuse of > > low-power laser energy in Budapest, Hungary.

For MPB, your best bet is Avodart to keep the hair that you have, and maybe a regrowth stimulant. It is DHT inside the hair follicle that will make your hair fall out. But it also caused scarring, irreparable damage. Inflammation is another factor. But anyway, it is far far easier to prevent further hairloss than it is to regrow or reverse the damage. Avodart and Proscar hair count studies http://dutasteride.org/dutasteride/dutasteride_results.htm Minoxidil may re-grow a little hair in some people. But not much. It is completely different from Avodart or Proscar. Minoxidil is a regrowth stimulant. It works by boosting nitric oxide, hence the NO in miNOxidil. So maybe some arginine would be a little helpful. Nizoral shampoo has been shown to be a regrowth stimulant. See here: http://blog.pharmacymix.com/nizoral-shampoo-ketoconazole-2-can-reverse-hair-loss\ -3-references-2 And here for the most recent study with pictures: http://www.hairsite.com/hair-loss/forum_entry-id-25116-page-0-category-0-order-l\ ast_answer.html Some think that Nizoral works because it is an anti-androgen. But there is plenty of reason to believe that something else is going on. So in my opinion, the best approach for preventing hairloss in men, and maybe regrowing a little is to take Avodart (or at least Proscar), and use Nizoral shampoo 3 or 4 times a week. And maybe adding a little minoxidil to the equation with give some additional regrowth for about 5 years.....if you don't mind the hassle of putting it on every day.

For MPB, your best bet is Avodart to keep the hair that you have, and maybe a regrowth stimulant. It is DHT inside the hair follicle that will make your hair fall out. But it also caused scarring, irreparable damage. Inflammation is another factor. But anyway, it is far far easier to prevent further hairloss than it is to regrow or reverse the damage. Avodart and Proscar hair count studies http://dutasteride.org/dutasteride/dutasteride_results.htm Minoxidil may re-grow a little hair in some people. But not much. It is completely different from Avodart or Proscar. Minoxidil is a regrowth stimulant. It works by boosting nitric oxide, hence the NO in miNOxidil. So maybe some arginine would be a little helpful. Nizoral shampoo has been shown to be a regrowth stimulant. See here: http://blog.pharmacymix.com/nizoral-shampoo-ketoconazole-2-can-reverse-hair-loss\ -3-references-2 And here for the most recent study with pictures: http://www.hairsite.com/hair-loss/forum_entry-id-25116-page-0-category-0-order-l\ ast_answer.html Some think that Nizoral works because it is an anti-androgen.

That is not to say that lasers can just be used any which way safely and effectively - cause that is not so. Lasers are a tool and are as effective as the person using it. One of the ways that healing lasers heal is to stimulate damaged cells to heal themselves - all cells have frequencies which are used to communicate and cause biochemical reactions of many kinds - the healing frequency 635nm that I like best is the same frequency as healthy living cells, and actually changes the frequency of damaged and/or unbalanced cells to that of healthy living cells. ----- The following excerpts are all from...... How does light therapy work? http://lazrpulsr.com/files/How_does_light_therapy_work.htm Is all light therapy the same? By Dr. Gerry Graham, III The mechanism of action for 635nm light: Biological light receptors in living tissue, termed chromophores, have peak activation at wavelengths between 600nm and 720nm. The most commonly used wavelengths to activate these chromophores are from 630nm to 635nm. This is because even though different chromophores have peak activation somewhere between 600nm and 720nm, each chromophore can still be activated within a wider wavelength spectrum. 635nm falls within the wavelength spectrum of all biological chromophores in man and animals. This means there is no need to utilize multiple colors of lasers to activate the different chromophores in the body. One wavelength – 635nm – has the potential to activate every biological photo-sensitive receptor in the body. For this reason, the LazrPulsr System have selected only 635nm lasers for the therapy lasers. There are three specific and unique methods the 635nm wavelength lasers of the LazrPulsr 4X modulates tissues: 1. Within the cell, the signal is transduced and amplified by a photon acceptor (chromophore). When a chromophore first absorbs light, electronically excited states are stimulated, primary molecular processes are initiated which lead to measurable biological effects. These photobiological effects are mediated through a secondary biochemical reaction, photosignal transduction cascade, or intracellular signaling which amplifies the biological response. 2. The ionizing effects of LLLT allow photon acceptors to accept an electron. This turns on the oxidation-reduction cycle of the stimulated chromophores such as Cytochrome oxidase, hemoglobin, melanin, and serotonin. Changing the re-dox state of the chromophore changes the biological activity of that chromophore e.g., hemoglobin changes its oxygen carrying capacity. This has the potential to triple the oxygen carrying capacity of blood instantly. 3. When photon energy breaks a chemical bond, changes occur in the allosteric proteins in cell membranes (cell, mitochondrial, nuclear) and monovalent and divalent fluxes activate cell metabolism and intracellular enzymes directly. Direct activation of cell membranes alters ion fluxes, particularly calcium, across that membrane. Changes in intracellular calcium alter the concentrations of cyclic nucleotides, causing an increase in DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis, which stimulate mitosis and cellular proliferation. When any of the above occurs, the initial biological reaction rapidly catalyzes thousands of other chemicals similar to the calcium regulated, 2nd messenger cAMP cascade. This biological amplification process produces systemic effects – which means that as you are treating a wound on the left hand, the wound on your right hand and the injury to your liver and kidney are also being treated equally as well. So while the infrared manufactures brag about a 2 inch penetration of their energy, true therapeutic lasers are profoundly more advanced, producing systemic therapeutic results. These three actions produce four separate and distinct functions that are clearly understood in the body. 1. Growth factor production occurs within cells and tissue in response to increased ATP and protein synthesis. This initiates mitosis and cell proliferation by changing the cell, mitochondrial, or nuclear membranes permeability to monovalent (Na+, K+) and divalent (Ca++, Mg++) ions (Karu 1987, 1998, 2002). 2. Pain relief results from suppression of the nociceptor response mediated by increased serotonin and endorphin release (Sumano et al., 1987a, 1987b). 3. Immune-modulation and mitigation of the inflammatory response occur because the mononuclear phagocytic cells, mast cells, and leukocytes are stabilized preventing the release of harmful inflammatory mediators (Amano 1994). In addition, vasodilatation and increased microcirculation allows a rapid return to homeostasis and promotes first intention healing (Sumano 1987a, 1987b; Fiszerman and Rozenbom 1995). 4. Direct trigger point stimulation allows direct release of endorphins and other endogenous pain mediators such as serotonin, VIP, substance P, prostaglandins, etc. (Kaada, B and Eielson O, 1983, Kaada, Olsen and Eielson,1985). --- Low Level visible red Laser therapy devices Unlike the infrared devices that are only concerned about the heat that is delivered, these lasers are very complex in their actions because they are designed to stimulate the physiology of the body through a mechanism called biomodulation or photobiomodulation. These principles of light or energy medicine originated in the quantum physics of Einstein himself. He first introduced the concept of the LASER " light amplification by stimulated emission radiation " . He also stated that every living cell emits radiation called the " photon emission of living cells " , or what we commonly refer to as the aura. Albert Einstein, in 1917, proposed all living and nonliving matter represented dynamic electromagnetic fields, which exist in an electromagnetic environment – the universe! It took nearly 60 years for fellow physicists to begin to comprehend Einstein's holistic worldview of quantum mechanics, and the relationship between matter, energy and health. Due to the low power density and the properties of the wavelength used, the true low level therapy lasers are only capable of delivering a physiological dose of therapy. Some consider this limited because it is dependent on the ability of the patient to respond to care which creates less consistent and predictable outcomes. However, when you consider that this therapy actually gives the body a greater ability to respond you can see that it has expanded the limits of what can be accomplish. One of the most important aspects of a physiological dose of therapy is that it is safe. It is safe no mater what the condition or pathology is, no matter what medications the patient is on, no matter what the patient may be allergic to, no matter what, a true LLLT unit will " …DO NO HARM! " One of the most profound physiological effects of low level therapeutic lasers is the effect of Neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity represents the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. Neuroplasticity provides a way for nerve cells (neurons) in the brain to respond and compensate for injury and disease and adjust neuronal activity in response to a new situation or to changes in the environment. Reorganizing the brain occurs by the mechanism of " axonal sprouting " where damaged axons grow new nerve endings to reconnect neurons whose links were injured or severed. Undamaged axons can also contribute new nerve endings and connect with other undamaged nerve cells, forming new neural pathways to accomplish a needed function. In order for neurons to reconnect or form new connections, the neurons need active stimulation. LLLT provides one of the most powerful stimulants for Neuroplasticity known today and it provides that stimulation in a safe, therapeutically correct, organized manner. Neuroplasticity, represents unlimited potential to retrain the brain after injury. However, Neuroplasticity can also contribute to impairment. For example, deaf individuals may suffer from continual ringing in the ears (tinnitus), which results from faulty rewiring of the brain cells starved for sound. For beneficial neural connections to form, neurons must be stimulated correctly. Neuroplasticity represents a new rapidly evolving approach to healing. Given any trauma, realizing all traumas involve the central nervous system recognizing the trauma (consciously or subconsciously), quick response with active neuronal stimulation, could theoretically maintain, repair, retain most CNS functions (learning, memory, speech, emotional distress, movement, balance etc.). In simpler terms, theoretically the proper immediate use of LLLT therapy post trauma, especially brain trauma, could eliminate much of the neurological disabilities common in head trauma today. Even the simplest memory stimulates complex neural networks at several different sites in the brain. The content (what happened) and meaning (how it felt) of an event are laid down in separate parts of the brain. The goal of neuroplastic therapy is to connect these sites to resolve the damaged, disjointed, dysfunctional nervous systems. " …The effect of LLLT on the brain is not magic, it's malleable " As with the infrared lasers, the wavelength and power density selected for an LLLT laser is very important, but for very different reasons. There are also a third and fourth component that is critically important for the LLLT laser use. One is the light source and the properties of the light itself and the other is frequency. It is not only important for the light to be pulsed but the frequency it is pulsed is specific to the therapeutic response desired -------------------- blessings Shan > > > ** > > > > > > > > Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Reported Studies of > > LLLT in Hair Loss (Man & Woman) > > > > http://www.manegain.com/3%20-%20Reported%20Studies%20of%20LLLT%20in%20Hair%20Los\ s.pdf > > > > > > Professor Andre Mester (1964) > > > > In 1964, Professor Andre Mester began experimenting with theuse of > > low-power laser energy in Budapest, Hungary.

This healing was also obvious in laserlight treatment of diabetic patients suffering with dystrophic sores.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 [shan said: " Don't know what url you used but it was sure not the one that is I posted. Try again http://www.corporacioncapilar.es/LDS100.pdf " ] That one. The link that you just posted. I clicked on it. And then just to be sure, I copied and pasted it into my browser. http://www.corporacioncapilar.es/LDS100.pdf I have attached screenshots below. The website that the expired page takes me to is here: http://www.corporacioncapilar.es/ The link to that study was posted here in 2006 on hairlosshelp.com... September of 2006. http://www.hairlosshelp.com/forums/messageview.cfm?catid=10 & threadid=61735 & START\ PAGE=5 & FTVAR_FORUMVIEWTMP=Linear Shan, I did not mean to be rude by suggesting that your evidence was not very compelling. But I spent a few years, literally, researching these things for myself. Here is a post of mine from 10 years ago at Hairsite: http://www.hairsite8.com/m626dutas38/_disc626/0000013e.htm And I had already been there for quite some time when this was posted. So maybe laser does help a little. From what I remember it is suppose to improve the quality of hair. But results, at least in those days, were minimal, if any. And I suspect that the study that you posted was done by a company who had a a financial interest in promoting it and who would stand to profit from the sale of Laser systems. Again, I was one of those frustrated people who looked at all of the treatments, copper binding peptides, spironolactone, shampoos and a host of other treatments. There has always been a lot of hype about treatments that turned out to be much less than stellar. The only thing that has truly helped me is taking a 5ar inhibitor and maybe Nizoral or nano shampoo.
