The Laser+Aid is a small and portable, multi-modality pulsed cold laser device that is based on quantum medicine technology, which is revolutionizing healing in modern healthcare. The healing modalities included in the Laser+Aid are based on nearly forty years of clinical research. It is manufactured by the same company that makes the world's most successful multi-modality laser treatment device for use by licensed medical practitioners. It is designed especially for home use to relieve pain and to treat wide range of symptoms that are inflammation-based. It can be operated for up to 18 hours on its rechargeable lithium ion battery.Laser+Aid provides relieves acute and chronic pain, improves blood circulation, heals wounds and reduces inflammation — all in the comfort of your home or office.Laser+Aid is recommended for carpal tunnel syndrome, whiplash, migraines, back pain, arthritis, tennis elbow, knee pain (such as from torn meniscus), Morton's neuroma, TMJ pain, sprained ankle, plantar fasciitis and more. Anything that's due to inflammation can be helped by the Laser+Aid. (Learn more about these maladies on the respected Mayo Clinic website. No endorsement should be inferred.)Laser+Aid contains three treatment programs, all of which have been preset for different conditions : 5Hz, 50Hz and Variable.A Highly Effective, Multi-Therapeutic Device This outstanding low-level laser therapy (LLLT) device combines four energy sources, each is known for its therapeutic effect. These were selected due to the strong scientific evidence and long-term studies supporting their use and benefits: • pulsed laser radiation• pulsed infrared radiation • pulsed visible red light • static, permanent magnetic field LLLT is a well-established healing modality with strong scientific, evidence-based physiological and clinical applications. LLLT involves applying a "low" energy or "low-level" laser to tissue in order to stimulate cellular processes and enhance biochemical reactions. Low-level lasers are safe, non-toxic and non-invasive. Laser+Aid's combination of several varying light types and intensities increases its effects. Visible lights such as red light have a shallow penetration (1 to 3 mm), which is limiting as to their benefits. Infrared light has a deeper penetration (10 to 15 mm). However, the Handy+Cure's use of several light modalities concurrently enables a much deeper penetration of the beneficial effects of all light modalities (up to 8 to 10 cm).Incorporation of these four sources into one single device that is proven to achieve rapid and efficient, synergistic clinical therapeutic effects in a relatively short time. The device is particularly effective in situations where cell tissue has become inflamed. Inflammation of cell tissue is caused by reduced microcirculation, which changes the quantity of blood supply to the cells, resulting in ischemic injury. By shortening the period of the ischemic state, thus increasing vasodilation, the device reduces the duration of the disease, lessening accompanying pain. Quantum medicine improves microcirculation, which removes toxic waste products from the site and improves the supply of oxygen to the hypoxic cells. Laser+Aid's therapeutic action operates via one of the most fundamental molecular mechanisms in the human body, ATP (adenosinetriphosphate). Mitochondria of all living cells are often termed cellular "powerhouses" because of their involvement in converting chemical energy of nutrient molecules into the chemical energy of ATP. The chemical process of adding an inorganic phosphate to a molecule is called phosphorilation. The phosphorilation process in the mitochondria is composed of cytochroms, which are chromophores, molecules that respond to light radiances such as are incorporated in the Laser+Aid. The phosphate groups of ATP, especially the terminal one, can be transferred by means of enzymes to other molecules in order to increase their reactivity. In this way, ATP links the energy-producing aspects of cellular biochemical reactions to the energy requiring aspects of biological work, such as movement, protein synthesis and active transport. Positive outcome is achieved through chemical processes in the cells that are responsive to bio-photons, leading to renewed cellular energy (ATP) production and restoration of impaired cellular functions. Up to a 150% increase of ATP production has been shown.In a recent study, brain tissue was irradiated with near-infrared laser (830 nm) in vitro, and the content of ADP and ATP were monitored in the tissues. A rise in ATP content of the brain tissue was observed, thus confirming the effect of LLLT on ATP production. Increased cellular ATP enables the ischemic (blood-deficient) cells in the damaged tissue to heal and to attain their normal functions. Delayed or secondary response consists of a systemic effect caused by circulating photoproducts of irradiation in the blood and lymphatic systems. Increased plasma concentration of certain types of prostaglandins, enkephatens and endorphins have all been identified and play a major role in the mechanism of reduction of inflammation, pain attenuation and wound healing. Use of the Laser+Aid can increase the speed, quality and strength of cellular tissue repair, can increase blood supply to the affected area, is reported to stimulate the immune system, is reported to stimulate nerve function, is reported to develop collagen and muscle tissue, is reported to help generate new healthy cells and tissue, and is reported to promote faster wound healing and clot formation. This method can even provide significant results for the elderly, or for patients suffering from long-term illnesses or cell damage. The device can speed recovery and relief when used alone or in combination with other medical therapeutic modalities. It can reduce the need for analgesic and anti-inflammatory medication.Advantages • Non-Invasive• Painless • No Side Effects • Safe To Use (always follow instructions and wear protective goggles) • Drug-Free • Surgery-Free • Easy To Use • Quick (takes just minutes per session) • Compact (small enough to carry with you) • Requires Minimal Training • Offers A Diversity Of Frequencies For Treating Different Clinical Conditions • Can Be Used For Both Human And Animal Healing • Can Be Used Without Medical Supervision (but is also used by professionals in clinics and hospitals) • Anti-Inflammatory, Analgesic, Improves Micro-Circulation, Anti-Edema, Increases Immunity • Use On Injuries, Neurological Conditions, Fractures, Dermatological Issues, Wounds & More That Are Inflammation-Based Safety Over 2000 studies of LLLT have shown that it is safe. Used according to directions, the Laser+Aid™ is safe. Laser+Aid™ is a Class 1 laser device. Class 1 laser devices present minimal potential for harm to the user and are classified as NSR (No Significant Risk) by the FDA. The HC is strong enough to be effective in promoting healing, but weak enough to be safer than the professional-only devices used by doctors and veterinarians. As a precaution, do not direct the Laser+Aid™ on a pregnant womb or on a pacemaker, and always be sure to wear appropriate protective eyeware.Super-Pulsed Infrared Laser Radiation Low-level laser therapy penetrates up to 7cm deep into tissue and has strong stimulating effects on blood circulation membranes and intracellular metabolism. The laser emits energy in a form of photons; these particles of energy are absorbed by cells and tissue, resulting in conversion of light into biochemical energy. Multiple physiological responses are thereby initiated and normal cell function may be restored. This process can be curative and can eliminate symptoms (i.e. pain, edema, etc).Some Of The Biological Effects of LLLT, As Verified By Research Studies Bio stimulation and photo stimulation Endogenous opiate production Capillary and pre-capillary vasodilatation Increased neo-vascularization Increased collateral axons sprouting Increase in perception of sensory nerve Increase in amplitude of action potential of nerves Prevention of post-traumatic degeneration of nerves Stimulation of the regenerative processes of tissues Stimulation of the immune system Stimulation of the metabolic system Increased leukocyte phagocytosisIncreased collagen and fibroblast synthesis Increased DNA and RNA synthesis in E coli cells Increased cell respiration and production of cellular product Increased activity of succinic acid dehydrogenization in tissue surrounding wound rim Acceleration of fracture consolidation Increased ESR in patients with Rheumatoid arthritis Decreased prostaglandin level Increased epithelial activity Increased drainage of interstitial liquids Conditions For Which LLLT Has Been Shown Effective Typical pain-producing conditions which are treated include: • Spinal diseases comprising early osteochondrosis, scoliosis, intervertebral disk hernia, post-traumatic pain, carriage disorders, radiculitis, ischialgia• Joint diseases, such as arthritis, arthrosis, coxarthrosis, contractures, myositis • Muscle, tendon and ligament strains LLLT has shown to have a positive effect at both the cellular and tissue level for the treatment of disorders resulting from: • inhibited blood supply, leading to the development of acute or
chronic tissue hypoxia How Does LLLT Work? Low level laser therapy has been shown to treat a wide range of disorders which, at first glance, have nothing or very little in common. To list a few examples, LLLT can: • accelerate wound and burn healing• reduce pain • improve the condition of patients after a stroke • help in treatment of diabetic angiopathy • reduce stiffness and inflammation The physiological effects of laser light at low intensity are not completely understood, but what is known from a biochemical model is often summarized in terms of three main effects: • biostimulation/tissue regeneration• anti-inflammatory action • analgesic action LLLT and ATP One of the most important effects of LLLT is that it accelerates Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, by increasing metabolism at the cellular level, and enabling the ischemic cells in the damaged tissue to heal and to attain their normal functions. ATP is an organic compound composed of adenine, the sugar ribose, and three phosphate groups. It captures chemical energy obtained from the breakdown of food molecules and releases it to fuel other cellular processes, serving as the major energy source within the cell to drive a number of important biological processes. ATP is present in every cell, and essentially all the physiological mechanisms that require energy for operation obtain it directly from stored ATP. Cells require chemical energy for three general types of tasks: to drive metabolic reactions that would not occur automatically; to transport needed substances across membranes; and to do mechanical work, such as moving muscles. When energy is needed by the cell, it is converted from storage molecules into ATP. ATP then serves as a shuttle, delivering energy to places within the cell where energy-consuming activities are taking place. Extracellularly, ATP has been found to act as a neurotransmitter. ATP receptors are widespread through the body. On its own it is known to have effects in the arteries, intestines, lungs, and bladder. It is also often released in tandem with other neurotransmitters, perhaps to add chemical stability. Therapeutic and Synergestic Benefits of Additional Modalities One of the key features which differentiates Laser+Aid (and the professional-only products with which it shares technology) from other LLLT devices is that they combine low-level laser with additional modalities to achieve synergic therapeutic effects.Low-intensity radiation in the red and infrared spectral ranges induces prolonged photochemical processes, which play an important role in the achieving the clinical therapeutic effects of quantum therapy. The most prominent of these effects is improved blood microcirculation , which further enhances the therapeutic effect of the LLLT. The biological effect is due to the vasodilatation of small blood vessels, a decrease in the adhesive ability of blood cells, and formation of new microvessels. In addition, low-intensity radiation via red light has a positive influence on the quantity and quality of endogenous photosensitizers in blood plasma, leading to increased cell bactericidal activity. This is thought to assist in healing wounds and trophic ulcers, when normal, not excessive level of bactericidal activity helps to keep wounds and ulcers clean, thus speeding up the healing process. Static magnetic therapy has been shown to have a beneficial effect on the body, although the mechanism by which this is achieved is not yet fully understood. Possible explanations for the beneficial effect of static magnetic therapy include: • Decreasing the firing rate of chronic pain neurons.• Changing the rate of enzyme mediated reactions, which may play a role in inflammatory cascades and free radical generation. • Modulating intracellular signaling by affecting the functioning of calcium channels in cell membranes. • Causing changes in blood flow The Magnetic Field Provides energy-mediated protection of organism against deleterious environmental impacts, including climatic factors and electromagnetic fields. The magnetic field also keeps ionized molecules of tissues in a dissociated state, thus enhancing the energy potentials at the molecular and cellular levels. In addition, the magnetic field influence the dipoles of the biological molecules of the fluid media of the body to pass from the chaotic state into the oriented state, lining up exactly along the power lines of the external magnetic field; the direction of these power lines coincides with the direction of the laser radiation. In this case less radiation is loosened than in case when there is no external magnetic field. Clinical Effects: Infrared Radiation Clinical Effects: Pulsed Red Light Is identified with beneficial anti-inflammatory effect (especially in areolar tissue). According to long-term studies, pulsed red light in known to improve psycho-emotional tonus - despite the fact that it penetrates smaller tissue depths. In addition, red light makes a treated area visible and has a local warming and psychotherapeutic effect.
