"As shown in physiological and physiochemical tests, this laser irradiation technology can rapidly alter the flow conditions of blood and oxygen in the body. From increased micro-circulation, strengthened blood cells, increased cell metabolisms, increased immune system functions, and faster tissue regeneration this technology is very beneficial to the total functional parameters of the human body."

"High CRP levels are related to inflammation, and chronic inflammation is associated with insulin resistance, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, and more recently hair loss."

"The low level laser therapy of inner ear dysfunction has been made use of in Germany since the end of the eighties As the observation of healing processes has shown in the course of the years, even serious impairments such as the most excruciating cases of tinnitus, hearing loss, hyperacusis, vertigo and Meniere's Disease can be considerably alleviated and even healed with the aid of modern Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT).

The laser emits 830 nm (480 mW) and 630 nm (20 mW) simultaneously."

"After three years of clinical monitoring 200 patients after Comprehensive Laser Therapy (medication, rehab physiotherapy aimed at axial skeleton and LLLT) of tinnitus have been evaluated with the following results: 16 per cent of patients with no effect (however, approximately one third of this group may have finished attendance due to other reasons than in direct relation to the results of therapy, attendance finished sua sponte by the patient), 15 per cent of patients marking their relief of tinnitus as less than 50 per cent alleviation (evaluation through combination of three different scales), having in mind especially the criterion of "quality of life", 43 per cent of patients, the biggest group consisting of patients evaluating their relief of tinnitus within mentioned scales as more than 50 per cent, 26 per cent of patients are totally free of tinnitus.

In lieu of hijacking that post above anymore, I thought I would put added information on this here. Here is more info on Laser Blood Irradiation:



As for how often to use, this study did laser blood irradiation 3 times per week. They also state that the effects seem to last for 15 or 16 weeks. Here's the link to the study

Here's a good quote

"We can imagine that, after a complete cycle of
treatment, all circulating red blood cells are “activated”;
since they have different “ages”, they will survive
for different times; but, in any case, the youngest
among them will disappear from circulating blood
after about 15 weeks and, after that, the therapeutic
effect will be lost."






Here's an interesting patent and information

From doing a Google search, I found this page. It cites about 11 studies done in other countries on Lasers showing benefit to Peripheral Neuropathy.

Anodyne therapy has been used for PN for quite a while.

Here is a discussion about it and compares it to laser:

here is a post link to some more information on LLLT:

--it does seem as if this laser therapy is the next generation of anodyne/infrared therapy, which has been around a long time, and was actually first used in veterinary practice.
