Intravenous laser therapy (laser blood irradiation) is a new type of intravascular blood treatment showing provable diverse positive effects on the metabolism and the immune system. Longtime research of Russian scientists formed the basis of this procedure which was then developed further and optimized in Germany.
Intravenous laser therapy is based on the biologic healing action of soft lasers that stimulates the immune system, improves the blood circulation, shows anti-inflammatory effects and activates both the cell metabolism and the production of new cells. Laserneedle acupuncture also makes use of these effects.
In contrast to laserneedle acupuncture, the therapy method of intravenous laser therapy treats the body's vascular system and not the body from the outside. Blood could indeed also be indirectly radiated through a laser fiber that is placed onto the skin above a vessel. Due to scattering and diffraction processes, the laser beam significantly loses energy before it can take effect on the blood cells inside the vessel. Therefore, both procedures are independent therapy methods that do not compete with each other, but which usefully complement one another.
The Method
Flowing blood cells are directly radiated with laser light of different wavelengths (red, green, blue) via a sterile single-use laser fiber that is inserted into the arm vein with a cannula.
Light quanta are absorbed by blood cells; this process sets off the described positive biostimulatory reactions and also activates the antioxidant enzyme system.
The released light power is extremely low (1-3mW) and is only a fraction of the energy that is used on the skin during laserneedle acupuncture. Many experiments from the field of biologic laser research substantiate that these low doses only show biostimulatory effects and are completely harmless.
Patients are treated while lying down or sitting in recumbent or sitting position. The procedure takes between 30 and 50 minutes. The wearing of anti-laser goggles is not required.
Indications
Intravenous laser therapy can be perfectly used to treat chronic diseases that are connected with a weakness of the immune system, of different organ systems or of the metabolism.
Here are some examples:
- Inflammations of all kind
- Immunological weak conditions
- Chronic diseases of the liver
- Disorders of the lipid metabolism
- Diabetes
- Autoimmune diseases
- Diseases of the nervous system
- Cardiac and renal diseases
- Chronically inflammatory intestinal diseases
- Macular Degeneration
- Circulatory disturbances
- Skin diseases
- Disturbances of the hormonal system
- Arthroses
- Pains of all kind
- Fibromyalgia
- Multiple sclerosis
- Cancerous diseases
Furthermore, intravenous laser therapy can perfectly be used in preventive treatment to stay physically fit and for anti-aging purposes.
According to the latest statement of the National Anti-Doping Agency NADA, this method is not considered a doping method and may therefore also be used to increase the fitness of athletes.
