INFRARED LIGHTS
Our family has been using the infrared lights since 1999. The HUMAN benefits we have seen are nothing
short of remarkable..... as well for our HORSES and DOGS ... we have literally saved 4 horses and given
our retriever an extra comfortable year with us.
Our lights are in use every day on our family / dogs and equine when necessary!!! Whenever there is an
injury, wound, soft tissue injury the infrared lights are in use. We can honestly validate most any benefit
from the lights. The "ANILITES" are well made and highly effective. If you have ANY questions please
contact me and I can tell you most anything. The initial research has come from NASA.
USING THE INFRA RED LIGHTS IS LIKE HAVING
THE SUN SHINING ON THE CELLS INSIDE THE BODY,
THE CELLS ABSORB AND UTILIZE THE LIGHT FOR HEALING!!!
Light therapy has been shown in over 40 years of independent research worldwide to deliver powerful
therapeutic benefits to living tissues and organisms. Both visible red and infrared light have been shown
to effect at least 24 different positive changes at a cellular level. Visible red light, at a wavelength of 660
nanometers ( nm-1 nanometer is equal to 1 billionth of a meter), penetrates tissue to a depth of about 8-10
mm. It is very beneficial in treating problems close to the surface such as wounds, cuts, scars, trigger and
acupuncture points and is particularly effective in treating infections. Infrared light ( 904nm) penetrates to a
depth of about 30-4- mm which makes it more effective for bones, joints, deep muscle, etc.
The diverse tissue and cell types in the body all have their own unique light absorption characteristics,
that is, they will only absorb light at specific wavelengths and not at others. For example, skin layers,
because of their high blood and water content, absorb red light very readily, while the lungs, stomach &
muscles absorb the orange color. Although the different color wavelengths penetrate to different depths
and affect tissues differently, their therapeutic effects are similar.
At this time , research has shown no side effects from this form of therapy. Occasionally, one may
experience an increase in pain or discomfort for a short period of time after treating chronic conditions.
This occurs as the body reestablished new equilibrium points following treatment. It is a phenomenon that
may occur as part of the normal process of recovery.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LASERS AND LED'S??
- Laser's if not properly utilized can cause damage to tissue.
- LED's do not deliver enough power to damage the tissue, but they do deliver enough energy to stimulate
a response from the body to heal itself. With a low peak power output but high duty cycle, the LED's
provide a much gentler delivery of the same healing wavelengths of light as does the laser but at a
substantially greater energy output. For this reason, LED's do not have the same risk of accidental eye
damage that lasers do.
- Also LED'S generate a wider band of wavelengths than do the laser wavelength. This allows the LED'S to
cover more tissue for treatment. The LED's provide a gentle but effective delivery of light and a greater
energy output per unit of surface area in a given time duration.
