In over 2,500 studies and clinical trials IR photo bio-stimulation has been
shown to deliver powerful therapeutic benefits. Recent discoveries by NASA and
others have created a revolution in our understanding and ability to control the
photo bio-simulative process. As a result of these amazing new discoveries, our
Shuttle Astronauts now use infrared light to combat the muscle and bone wasting
effects of zero gravity. Navy Seals use IR LEDs to heal injuries up to two and a
half times faster than without IR Light, and U.S. submariners use them to stay
strong and healthy during their long tours undersea.
- Tests conducted with scanning laser Doppler demonstrate increases in
microcirculation from 400% to 3200% after one IR LED treatment.
- Studies have shown that human tissue exposed to IR light from LEDs,
grows at a rate from 150 to 200% faster than cells not stimulated by such
light.
- Cells treated with IR Light show a five-fold increase in growth phase
specific DNA synthesis.
- 150% increases in the production of ATP (cellular energy) have been
observed in cells exposed to IR Light.

same effects were found with low-level laser light as with non-coherent
light (non-laser light) leading the investigator to conclude that coherent
(laser) light is not needed to achieve these results.

 Condition:
Wrist Tendonitis/ Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Occupation:
Exec. Catering Chef
Comments: My right wrist was wracked with such pain that I couldn't even
lift a fork. I tried everything; acupuncture, physical therapy, chiropractic,
even cortisone injections.
When nothing worked, my son brought me a gift that he
said was being used by professionals to heal sports injuries. I'm delighted to
tell you that after using the IR Power Light for just three days my pain was largely
gone.
I continued to use the IR Power Light and after about a week, my strength came
back and my wrist returned to normal. Now, every time I feel a twinge, I just
apply my IR Power Light for a few minutes and I'm as good as new.
Testimonials - Barbara T. |
 Condition:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Occupation:
Home Care Professional
Comments: I couldn't work because of the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and the cortisone shots didn't work. But thanks to the IR Power Light, I avoided surgery and I'm back on the job. The numbness and tingling are gone and I haven't had to wear my brace in over a month.
