Laser therapy was performed using 2 arrays of 20 semiconductor lasers each which were applied to the front and back of the patients. Electric stimulation was performed using an " Electronica ChANS-2M " apparatus, which generates low-frequency bipolar electric pulses. Interestingly, for the mild and moderate forms of the disease, the laser treatment alone was more effective than the laser + electric treatment, while for the severe form of the disease the best results were achieved in the laser + electric treatment group. [bENER 13824] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- READER COMMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 28, 1999 - Dr. Pretidev Ramdawon (Centre of Energy Medicine & Anti-Stress Therapy) I have achieved very good results in the treatment of pancreatitis with the application of bio-electrotherapy in combination with low level laser therapy. This method has been developed by me already since 1994. It is a great method of treatment for pancreatitis which will find wide application in medical practice in the near future. I have read the comments of Mr. Kumar and I totally disagree with him. If more blood flows through an inflammed organ, it does not necessarily worsen this organ's state. On the other hand, a larger volume of blood flow through the diseased organ helps to fight the disease with increased oxygenation, increased supply of nutrients and increased immunological and defensive support through more blood. The other thing is that biostimulation electrotherapy has got anti-inflammatory regimens of influence which helps the pancreas to lose its inflammation. Low level laser therapy has also got an anti-inflammatory effect as well as other effects. It should be remembered that a larger blood flow will harm an organ only in case this blood becomes stagnant in the concerned organ and causes oedema. Otherwise, I fully agree with the patient who got relief in his case with the TENS unit. Diseases of other organs can be treated successfully with the combined method named above, including the liver, gall bladder, vertebral column, stomach, intestines, urinary bladder, prostrate gland, etc. With my best wishes, Dr. Pretidev Ramdawon, M.D., Ph.D., D.Sc., Associate Professor of Medicine, Director, Centre of Energy Medicine & Anti-Stress Therapy, 17, Palma Road, La Louise, Quatre Bornes, Republic of Mauritius. January 03, 1999 - Landis I am not a doctor, and I have very little idea of the idea behind this treatment of pancreatitis however, I suffered from recurrent acute pancreatitis from age 8 to age 17. My doctors refused to prescribe any painkillers because they believed it was in some way psychosomatic despite the evidence from the bloodwork, however, my chiropractor used a TENS machine which I believe uses similar principles to those described above, and this treatment helped the pain dramatically. As I mentioned, I have no medical training, so I can't comment on the biological ramifications of this technique, but it greatly improved my quality of life and reduced the pain. April 20, 1997 - P. Kumar, Blackpool I do not know how you came across this idea of treatment. In any case, it is a novel approach. Although, I have doubts regarding its mechanism of action. If it happens to cause an increase in the blood flow to the pancreas, then I think it should make pancreatitis worse as already too much blood is flowing through the organ. On the other hand, if it decreases the blood supply, than naturally it will halt the healing process. Pancreatitis is a very complex illness and this modality of treatment is too vague. I do not see forsee any future for this kind of treatment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright © 1994-2003, Information Ventures, Inc.
