Let’s take a look at some of the talk around this subject of therapeutic laser classification.

The Class IV laser party claims that their lasers work better than the cold laser predecessors. Yet to substantiate the validity and working hypothesis of their devices they quote from the time tested research done with cold lasers Class I-III over the last 30+ years. I don’t doubt that the class IV laser works, yet I still have not seen any evidence to substantiate the price tag of $15,000 to $50,000 for their devices. If I was going to come up with that kind of money for a laser I would want it to be clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that it would run circles around the performance of a cold laser, which can be purchased for substantially less money.

How about penetration and delivery of a an optimal dose of photonic energy?
Continuous wave (CW) and pulsed cold lasers in the 100-500mW range can penetrate 2-3″ and have a variety of desirable uses with good results. An optimal dose is easily attained in a given area, because the energy values can be calculated per cm2, by simply leaving the laser in the same spot for a predetermined time.

SuperPulsed lasers can penetrate up to 5″ and produce quality results with high levels of photonic energy delivered to target tissue, including hard tissues such as bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments and thick muscles. An optimal dose is easily attained in a given area, because the energy values can be calculated per cm2, by simply leaving the laser in the same spot for a predetermined time. However, the depth of penetration is significantly deeper and the depth is reached 10x faster than with CW lasers.

Class IV lasers also deliver photons up to 3″, however due to the fact that they are hot lasers, the laser head must be kept moving to prevent excessive heating and burning. To date there doesn’t appear to be any hard evidence to justify the risk and price of a class IV laser compared with the performance of a good quality cold laser.

How about laser safety?

The mystery about Class boils down to safety (mostly the eyes, except in the case of Class IV lasers).

A higher class number does not a better laser make. It’s not all about class and who has the highest number wins folks. The body does not respond to power alone and you can not “FORCE” more energy and photons into cells and tissues than they are willing to receive. The fact is that force builds resistance, which can impair results.

Class I and II lasers are the safest category of cold lasers. Class I lasers are considered insignificant risk devices by the FDA. The TerraQuant Pro Laser uses deep penetrating superpulsed technology (plus 3 other healing radiances) and is a popular class I laser.

Class IIIa and IIIb lasers pose a higher risk to the eye, particularly the class IIIb, because these laser diodes are infrared, which is a wavelength that is mostly invisible to the eye. Class IIIb lasers, which use a divergent non-focused beam are much safer, because the strength of the beam is directly at the tip of the laser and then it quickly diverges outward after it leaves the tip, making it much safer than a highly focused infrared beam. A popular focused Class IIIb laser is the world renowned Omega XP Laser. A popular non-focused Class IIIb laser is the AL500 Acupuncture Laser.

Class IV lasers are the most risky of all the therapeutic lasers because they produce a lot of heat. With more power comes more heat and with more heat and more powerfully focused infrared diodes, the risk to the eyes and the cells is significantly increased. Risk of denaturing proteins, ionizing cells and burning the skin is why the head of the class IV laser must be kept moving at all times. Consequently it is very difficult to deliver a guaranteed dose to a given area.

Wound Care and TerraQuant
Cold Laser Therapy

(NOTE: Usage of TerraQuant Laser for Wound Indications are Intended for Outside the USA)

• Skin ulcerations
• Diabetic ulcers
• Burns
• Tissue repair and cell regrowth
• Post-surgical wound care

Chronic wounds and pressure ulcers are expensive issues for patients to deal with. Wound management can be costly and time consuming. If the wound doesn’t begin to heal with treatment the complications can lead to hospitalization, surgery or even amputation.

The TerraQuant laser and it’s broad treatment “Multi Radiance Technology” excels in wound care. The TerraQuant laser has a programmed frequency designed for wound care and we have witnessed remarkable results. Look at some of the picture journals and read some of the testimonials and 13 case studies below.

Scientific Evidence for Cold Laser Therapy

This abstract of clinical and scientific evidence in wound management using TerraQuant Laser was compiled by Professor RÈmy Guibert, MD MSc.

The clinical trials reported have been published in peer review scientific journals and adhere to sound methodologies and all have control groups.

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) used in vitro show increases in cell growth of 140—200% in mouse-derived fibroblasts, rat-derived osteoblasts and rat-derived skeletal muscle cells, and increased by 155—171% growth of normal human epithelial cells. Wound size decreased up to 36% in conjunction with hyperbaric oxygen HBO in ischemic rat models. LLLT produced improvement of greater than 40% in musculoskeletal training injuries, and decreased wound healing time. LLLT reduced by 47% pain of children suffering from oral mucositis.

In vitro, LLLT inhibits bacterial growth of E.coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial, on thirty consecutive patients with diabetic ulcers or gangrenes and elevated levels of glycosylated hemoglobin, has demonstrated an increase in skin microcirculation due to LLLT, which was an athermic effect, in patients with diabetic microangiopathy. A clinical trial of LLLT, with the combined use of HBO, showed 81% healing of diabetic foot ulcers in patients who previously did not respond to a comprehensive treatment program. The authors conclude that this modality is safe, simple and inexpensive.

A placebo-controlled clinical trial, studying the efficacy of combined phototherapy with LLLT in the management of venous ulceration when used in conjunction with standardized nursing intervention, showed clinical difference in wound healing rate and a continued reduction in wound size at post-irradiation. A double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of low energy photon therapy (LEPT)(Red and Infrared) in venous leg ulcers showed a decrease in ulcer area (compared to baseline) of 193.0 mm² in the LEPT group and of 14.7 mm² in the placebo group respectively
(P = 0.0002).

A randomized, controlled study examined the effects of infrared and red pulsed monochromatic light with varied pulsations and wavelengths, in addition to standard treatment, on the healing of pressure ulcers. Patients treated with pulsed monochromatic light had a 49% higher ulcer healing rate, their mean ulcer area was reduced to 10% after 5 weeks compared with 9 weeks for the controls.

A controlled clinical trial of patients with two pressure ulcers (one for polarized light, one as control) examined the effect of polarized light on pressure ulcers of 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades. Pressure ulcers subjected to extra treatment with polarized light in the early stages showed significantly greater improvement in the healing process than the control ulcers.

Pulsed high-frequency, high peak power electromagnetic energy has been shown to increased healing time in patients with Stage II ulcers unhealed within three to 12 weeks and those with Stage III ulcers unhealed within eight to 168 weeks by conventional methods. Stage II ulcers healed in one to six weeks (mean 2.33) and all Stage III ulcers healed in one to 22 weeks (mean 8.85).

Case Studies

Case #1. Before start of TerraQuant treatment.

Case #1. After 3 ? weeks of TerraQuant treatment.

Case # 1.

79 year old female, personal history of dementia and osteoporosis. A fall from her bed on 06 January 2004 resulted in a large skin tear. Due to her dementia, she pulled the dressings off and painted lipstick around the wound. With the introduction of the LLLT, programs 2 & 4 on 30 April 2004, and wound protocol of Intrasite gel, the wound had healed by the 20 May 2004.

Case # 2.

79 year old female, with PHX of IDDM, blindness, amputation of (L) toes (11 Feb 2000) and (R) middle toe amputation (June 1999). An ulcer developed on her left foot in May 2001 and she was sent to Hospital for investigation for Gangrene. A sinus developed within the original wound on 20 Jul 2001 which we continued to pack with Kaltostat; and eventually the wound healed. In Feb 2002, the wound returned. Wound specialist was consulted and a full felt pad was recommended to reduce the pressure. On 21 Oct 2003, pus was expelled and sinus noted. The patient was again hospitalized and her diagnosis of Cellulitis was treated with A/Bís. The caregiver continued to dress the wound daily from October 2003 with no signs of improvement.

On 30 Apr 2004 the wound was measured at 2.8cm x 2.8cm. TerraQuant treatment was commenced using programs 2 & 4. By 17 May 2004 the size had reduced to 1.8cm x 0.8cm. On the 06 Jun 2004, the patient was referred to the Podiatrist who applied felt to reduce pressure. By 16 Jun 2004, without changing the dressing protocol, the wound had decreased to be measured at 0.7cm x 0.3cm. Wound re-measured 29 Jun 2004 at 0.7cm x 0.1cm. The attending physician was very impressed with the outcome, particularly given the patientís history.

Before start of TerraQuant treatment.

After 1 month of TerraQuant treatment.

After 2 months of TerraQuant treatment.

Case # 3.

94 year old female, with a past history of Multiple Sclerosis, Arthritis and repetitious Leg Venous Ulcers. This lady complained of severe pain in her left and right knees and a raised rash was noted on her left leg.

TerraQuant Programs 1 (5Hz) & 3 (1000Hz) treatments were introduced on 10 May 2004 and the rash was resolved within 3 days. On the 18 Jun 2004, the resident complained of pain in her (R) shoulder and on examination by her General Practitioner, she was diagnosed with a ruptured tendon. Laser treatment was recommended. Treatment was continued on all three areas using programs 1 & 3 with a positive result. Pain was reduced and she now has the ability to ambulate more freely. Long term MS Contin was prescribed in conjunction with programs 1 & 3.

Case # 4.

79 year old female, has a debilitating PHx of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and joint replacements. Her current medication was ineffective in managing her pain. The use of TerraQuant over acutely painful areas of (L) shoulder, (L) clavicle and (L) humerous with programs 1 & 3 has proven to provide pain relief and as a result, treatment will be ongoing.

Case # 5.

94 year old female suffering from heart disease and bilateral oedema. This lady sustained an enormous skin tear to her (L) leg on 04 May 2004 following a fall. In view of her existing oedema with serous ooze and taking Warfarin and Prednisolone she was transferred to hospital for suturing. Wound measured 14.9cm x 8cm.

She was returned to her nursing home on 11 May 2004 on A/Bís. Sutures were removed on 13th and 14th of May wound had broken down, now measuring 12cm x 6cm (14 May 2004). TerraQuant treatment was commenced on 20 May 2004 in conjunction with wound management of intrasite gel, tegaderm and compression stockings. On 01 Jun 2004 wound had increased in length due to the tegaderm causing superficial breakdown. Wound measurements 13cm x 4cm. Tegaderm was ceased, and daily dressing with intrasite gel, melonin, combine and compression stockings.

16 June 2004 Cellulitis has reduced even though oedema is still present. Wound has decreased again to be 6cms x 2.7cm. Daily TerraQuant treatment continued and the wound was dressed with Duoderm extra thin and left intact for 5 days. Staff continued to apply compression stockings. 29 Jun 2004, the wound measured 4.9cm x 1.2cms. Wound is granulating upwards even with surrounding skin. Area of slough has decreased significantly and surrounding skin is now pink and healthy with serous ooze at a minimum. Staff continues to apply compression stocking to aid fluid return.

Case # 6.

An 80 year old lady with a Left Hip pressure ulcer 3cm x 3cm x 1cm which had been deteriorating rapidly for two weeks. The ulcer was sloughy, and necrotic. The resident is very demented and reacts strongly when dressings are redressed (pushes staff away). TerraQuant initiated daily on 14 April 2004.

Case # 7.

This resident is an 81-year-old woman with multiple systems failure with very frail and thin skin. Fall on 19 May 2004 with multiple skin tears on the L hand, R & L knees and R ankle and 7cm long laceration to the scalp. The skin tear to the knees had no skin left to put a flap back into place. The treatment consisted of an initial dressing on the scalp and the other skin tears. Steristips were applied, and dressed with Solugel, Interpose and Mefix. TerraQuant was used through the dressing on the scalp and knees for seven days, one 10-minute session daily.

All tears healed in 5 to 7 days. The Director of Nursing said: ìWe would have expected all tears to take at least 3 to 4 weeks to heal. One advantage was to be able to give the LLLT treatments through the dressings without having to change them daily and without disturbing the patient.î

Case # 8.

This resident is an 86-year-old lady with very frail and thin skin who keeps rubbing her two feet/ankles together. As a consequence, her Left Foot displayed abrasions that, if she had kept rubbing, were at risk of never healing.

TerraQuant treatments were given daily for 7 days. The abrasions healed. The resident ceased rubbing her feet together. The Director of Nursing said: ìWe would have expected to need 3 to 4 weeks of wound management and protective dressing necessary to overcome her abrasions.î

Case # 9.

This resident is a very frail 86-year-old woman with multiple diseases. She is currently on various medications including Prednisolone. She also has poor dietary intake and is supplemented with a high calorie and protein drink. She developed a leg haematoma (12cm x 3cm), from locking and rubbing her legs together, which was at risk of breaking down.

TerraQuant treatments were given daily for 7 days. Healing was achieved. The Director of Nursing said: ìWe would have expected the haematoma to break down and due to her compromised health status we would have expected any breakdown of the skin integrity would take an extended period to healî.

Case # 10.

This resident is an 86-year-old lady who is legally blind and has substantial hearing loss. She ambulates with difficulty with a four-wheeled frame. She has moderate cognitive impairment, requires prompting and displays short-term memory loss. She takes multiple medications, including Warfarin. She has a long history of lower leg ulcers which never heal completely.

One leg ulcer 6cm x 2cm has been present since early March 2004 and had shown little progress in healing, despite applying daily dressings of Jelonet, Solugel, Kaltostat and two full courses of antibiotics.

On 14 April 2004 daily TerraQuant treatments were initiated with Melonin or Cutilin dressings only. By 16 June 2004, the ulcer had completely healed.

Case # 11.

This resident is a 97-year-old lady who has multiple diseases (AF, CCF, OA, Gout, Rotator cuff syndrome on one side and fractured neck of humerus on the other side, moderate cognitive impairment, and significant and constant oedemas in the lower legs).

She walks with difficulty with a 4-wheeled frame. On 21 January 2004, she injured her right lower calf against one of the footplates of a wheelchair. She sustained a V shaped cut of 6 cm length. She received daily dressings with Kaltostat, Solugel and Jelonet. She received several courses of antibiotics. Medihoney was tried. The wound was very slouchy and necrotic. Daily TerraQuant treatments were initiated on 18 March 2004. By late April the wound had completely healed. Before introducing the TerrQuant treatments, the resident had the tendency to try to remove dressings, which inhibited the healing process. After receiving a few treatments with TerraQuant, the wound dried out, no dressing was necessary and the resident stopped picking at the wound.

Case # 12.

This resident is an 88-year-old lady who sustained a 9cm jagged deep pre-tibia wound on her L shin. The wound was sutured but the borders did not anastomose well. The skin was very thin and frail. Daily TerraQuant treatments were initiated two days after the injury and the sutures. One week later when the sutures were removed, the wound had completely healed. There was no oozing, no signs of infection and no redness. The wound had healed as with normal health skin. The Director of Nursing said: We would have expected the wound to get infected and remain open after the stitches were removed and for the wound to take several months to heal.

Case # 13.

This resident is an 83-year-old lady with multiple diseases including IDDM, moderate to severe cognitive impairment, Breast Cancer with Mastectomy and radiotherapy many years ago. Her skin is very frail and ruptures easily.

Her cognitive impairment made her very non-compliant and erratic with her medication and her insulin in particular. She was transferred from home to an acute care hospital on 3 February 2004 for unbalanced IDDM. A mastectomy line infected wound was then identified and wound management initiated.

She was transferred from acute hospital to residential care on 4 March 2004. She then had two wounds at the mastectomy site: one wound was 5cm x 2cm full thickness; and the other wound was 2cm x 2cm full thickness. Both wounds were very sloughy.

Daily TerraQuant treatments were initiated on 19 March 2004. By 28 May 2004, the smaller of the two wounds had healed completely and the large wound was reduced to 1cm x 1cm granulating, with no slouch or necrosis.

Unfortunately, for reasons beyond control, TerraQuant treatments were ceased from 28 May 2004 until 18 June 2004. Over this time, both wounds deteriorated significantly due to friction caused by the patient when showering and drying herself with a towel.

Shortly after that experience with the colored water I read a book by John Ott all about the effects of light on plants. Plants convert light through photosynthesis into energy, which they utilize to grow strong and healthy. Poor quality lighting creates unhealthy plants. High quality lighting produces strong and healthy plants. So it is with humans. We need high quality light to thrive and feel good. In his book, Mr. Ott convinced me that florescent lighting should be avoided and that we should seek out or create environments that utilize natural or full spectrum light. To date I have a full spectrum light bulb in my office light, as it creates a much nicer working environment.

Light healing through the use of low level laser products, or cold laser equipment or phototherapy equipment is making its way into the lives of mainstream Americans. While slow to catch on, we know a good thing when we experience it and there is no doubt that light therapy is the next evolution of our healing process. Light carries with it the energy, the electrons and the information which the trillions of cells in our body’s need to perform optimally. For the last 5 years I have dedicated my life to learning everything there is to learn about low level laser or cold laser therapy products and I have assembled a selection of some of the greatest Healing Lasers for Home Use and Cold Lasers for Professional Use.

Through the delivery of focused, columnated light in specific wavelengths and power densities we are now able to significantly and positively effect target cells and tissues suffering from wounds, injuries, dis-ease, and aging. Nearly 40 years of experience, scientific and medical research and practice has revealed amazing healing and anti-aging possibilities that challenge our current views and thinking.

• After 7 days of treatment, if no benefits have been felt, refer to the manual to see if an alternative program number has also been proscribed to the specific treatment. If necessary, change the program number and then continue with the treatment until the end of the initial course of 12-15 days.
• Upon completion of a full course (12-15 days), a further course can be undertaken after a 3-day break.
• Up to 10 courses a year can be completed on each individual point

CELL INTELLIGENCE

Now revealed for the first time, a TRUE 21st Century Laser Technology. Scalar Wave Laser devices deliver the paradigm shift of cellular memory to facilitate profound unwinding and cellular rejuvenation. This is by far the most advanced low level laser therapy technology that has ever become available at an affordable price.

Studies show that this type of technology is ideal for treating Pain, Inflammation, Wounds, Scar Reduction, Skin Rejuvenation, Anti-Aging, Laser Light Acupoint Stimulation, Smoking Addiction, Weight Loss, Chakra Balancing, Organ and Gland Balancing and Much More.

The Scalar Wave Laser is the FIRST FULLY DIGITAL LASER and is designed for easy use

The Scalar Laser comes with over 100 preset settings with optimal programming of precise frequencies and wavelengths. The special harmonizing frequencies and advanced scalar wave forms rapidly facilitate a quantum change in the body at a cellular level, unwinding stress and tension out of the cells and nervous system, and creating space, while erasing old and outdated cellular memory. This profound scalar wave process is revolutionary to the complimentary healing fields and will facilitate an amazing shift in the way we treat illness from now on.

The Revolutionary New Scalar Wave Laser utilizes two patent pending technologies

Scalar Wave Lasers have many deluxe and attractive features that are not found with other equipment of a similar nature. The Scalar Wave laser is ultra-portable, can be used corded (plugged in) or battery operated for up to 4 hours. These cold lasers are more advanced than any laser on the market today, delivering multiple wavelengths, hundreds of frequencies and a combination of the most advanced healing wave forms known to man and science. This Quantum Healing Laser is perfect for the individual user or seasoned practitioner who wants to be able to treat the largest range of conditions from skin and bones, to organs and glands.

Your body is made of cells.

Your cells depend on energy.

With adequate energy your cells form organs, skin, bones and your entire body.

Without energy, during sickness, and when injured, your cells become depolarized. In this fragile state cells can no longer absorb nutrients and oxygen or dispose of wastes. If depolarized cells are not given sufficient energy then dis-ease, degeneration, and aging result. Cellular repolarization is critical for the healing process.

Cold laser therapy provides the cells with a means to repolarize. It’s like jump starting a weak battery. The cold laser delivers much needed photonic energy, which the cells can convert into chemical energy known as ATP. This results in healing, regeneration, anti-aging, and rehabilititation naturally and non-invasively.

All lasers are not created equal. It’s important to choose a laser that is designed and calibrated for treating the type of condition you want to work on. Red light lasers are good for superficial application, offer minimal penetration and usually deliver photonic energy in minimal doses due to lower power outputs (ie. 5mW) measured in Milliwatts (mW), which is fine, but be aware that longer treatment times are required. Red light lasers tend to be less expensive than infrared lasers, except in a few cases, which are rarely justifiable. Red light laser diodes are commonly mixed with infrared diodes to produce more desirable results over larger surface areas.

Infrared lasers deliver deeper penetration and greater power outputs, resulting in a faster and more thorough delivery of photonic energy to target tissues at depths from 1-5 inches depending on if the laser is continuous wave, pulsed or super pulsed. A good choice of a low cost but effective and easy to use infrared light laser is the AL500 Laser. Other multiple wavelength lasers such as the TQ Solo are also a great choice if maximum penetration is required.

Cold lasers are commonly used for the relief of pain.

Studies show that the application of low level laser therapy stimulates cells to produce their own endorphins, resulting in an analgesic pain relieving effect. Pain relief and healing occurs when cellular functions are normalized. Additionally, studies show that the application of low level laser therapy to cells initiates biochemical reactions including the deactivation of enzymes that cause inflammation. The biostimulation that results from application of a cold laser has no effect on normal tissues and is consequently very safe. Laser photon delivery is very safe as tissues and cells are never heated and photons of light are only absorbed and utilized by cells that are in need of additional energy.

Biostimulation from low level laser is cumulative, which means that multiple treatments join forces to produce better long term results. In order to get the best results it is a good idea to see a competent laser therapist or purchase a cold laser that can be used regularly in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
