Using a therapeutic laser to treat pain and inflammation is one of the fastest, most effective modalities therapists have.  Thereby a patient’s need for potentially addictive medications is reduced.  Laser therapy can reduce swelling, pain, and inflammation. Jim and Zadok from Epoch Laser explain why their products are superior to others, and why you should consider using this healing device to support your body!

Podcast 408: Red Light Therapy with Epoch Lasers

MARTIN: We have here, based on lengthy research, a device that is capable of helping the body increase perfusion, and lower the inflammatory response, therefore it is facilitating the body to repair itself at a much faster rate, returning normal function to whatever is impeded. So this is almost like saying ‘whatever ails you, put a light on it.’

JIM: Beautifully said! I never like to say it’s a panacea and it cures everything, but it does do a lot based just on what you said, you hit it right on the head, it can be used to address a lot of different ailments and problems.

MARTIN: What sort of problem of humanity is it going to solve?

JIM: So, chronic pain in people, as you know, is across the planet. People experience it, young people experience it when they work out too hard. Older people experience it because of poor diet, poor lifestyle, and underlying diseases. And methods to treat pain are methods that involve taking a drug. When you take a drug, it goes through your system, it goes into your stomach. There are compounds that are synthetic compounds, they are chemicals, and they go through your body. And I think most people will tell you if they’ve taken pain medications, it clouds their mind. It clouds their judgment. It makes them feel sleepy. It makes them feel like going through the day strange. It may relieve the pain, but it also makes them feel strange. And our idea, and why people should be paying attention to this, and why you should be interested in our product, is the fact that we use light.

JIM: The light is shown to stimulate an ATP chain reaction in cells. So the light actually activates chromophores within the cells. This is biology, the underlying science that I’ve worked on for 20 years. So there is an absolute scientific effect of it. But that wavelength of light is not prevalent in our atmosphere today. It was there centuries ago, and it only comes to 30,000 feet, so one has to scratch their head and say: “Why does our body have a mechanism that responds, as proven scientifically, to 980 nm light if it is not in this atmosphere?

MARTIN: Let’s make this really clear. You are saying that the 980 nm light actually is filtered by the atmosphere and does not normally reach down to where we are?

JIM: Correct. It doesn’t come below 30,000 feet, but it did in biblical times! But in a modern-day industrial atmosphere, it doesn’t make it all the way down. But our body still has a mechanism within that response to that wavelength of light. It is a very fascinating thing for me as a scientist and inventor to say: “Oh, this is really interesting and intriguing, why is this happening and what benefits does it have?” And so when you apply 980 nm light to a wound, you can accelerate the closing of the wound. When you apply it to a body that is in pain, it has two mechanisms of action. It is absorbed, the photons interact with the cells, and the absorption creates warmth and space of dilation. It’s really two things happening within, the stimulation of the cells, and the vasodilation. And together, this combination helps alleviate pain without popping a pill.

One of the things that I’ve always been enlightened to is to say is: “This product not only helps relieve your pain, but it helps ignite your spirit.
