Phototherapy

Do you take supplements to improve your health? Perhaps you take vitamin C or Co-enzyme Q-10 or some minerals, other antioxidants etc. Have you wondered whether they’re all getting into your body cells or have you maybe assumed that they are and once you swallowed them, you forgot about them?

Swallowing them of course is step one, but then they need a good delivery system to take them where they’re needed. If the blood is healthy, there’s no problem with that. How can we assess the health of our blood? And if it’s deficient somehow, what can we do about it?

Our blood flows through ever-smaller vessels that become tiny capillaries where the blood cells travel single file alongside body cells. The red cells deliver oxygen and pick up carbon dioxide and the nutrients in the blood plasma attach to receptors on the body cell membranes and with the help of the right enzyme, are admitted into the cell for processing.

Overly Viscous Blood

My blood as seen in a dark field microscope in Thailand in 2013.

How can these blood cells travel single file? The red cells are stuck to each other which prevents their surfaces from carrying oxygen. The black areas are the plasma. This is a low resolution photo but if you look closely you can see small dots in the plasma — they are nutrients broken down for absorption into body cells. Because of the clumped cells all around them, they’ll have trouble passing through any capillary wall into body cells. The white cells in this photo are dysfunctional leukemic cells and not doing any job. But in non-leukemic blood that is viscous, the white cells are blocked from catching and disabling pathogens.

Using Light to Correct the Blood

In healthy blood, each cell, red  white or platelet, is separate and free to do its job. If the blood becomes too viscous, too thick, it can be corrected with phototherapy, also called light therapy. There are several types of phototherapy, such as use of ultraviolet light where blood is taken from the body and run through a machine where it’s exposed to UV light, then restored to the body. I had that done many times at my AZ cancer clinic in 2012.

However, we don’t have to rely on a doctor to administer phototherapy. We can buy small devices that do the job any time we choose. The device I have is called a VieLight.

This is a little red laser light. It fits into one nostril and runs for 25 minutes then turns itself off. It’s actually banned in America! I obtained mine while outside America. But there is another version of this device available in America that uses an LED light. Mine is VieLight 855 and the other one is VieLight 633. LED lights lack the power of laser lights so the manufacturer (in Canada) has increased the power output of the 633 so you receive the same amount of healing energy.

Our face, especially the nasal area, contains a great many small blood vessels. When either of these devices is positioned and turned on, healing light penetrates into blood vessels and enters the blood. If your blood is thick and dysfunctional as in the above photo, this light treats it by separating the blood cells, freeing them up to each go their own way and do their job.

The VieLight 633 is also used for relief of facial pain, headaches, sinus congestion, and some breathing troubles.

Phototherapy For Improved Balance

In my case, the VieLight 855 is the better of the two devices. I had a mild stroke in March of 2012 when I was in Costa Rica. It was caused by the leukemia (another story there for some future blog) and took away some of my balance and hearing. Both have since improved, especially the balance, but at the time I was bedridden and deaf in the left ear. If I’d had this laser device then, I would probably be quite normal now in hearing and balance. But a whole month went by before I was able to get to a cancer clinic and start repairing the leukemia and stroke damage.

So why is the laser better than the LED for me as a person with both viscous blood and impaired balance and hearing? As you probably know, laser light is directional, coherent; it’s not scattered like incandescent and LED lights. It makes a good classroom pointer and there’s a cat toy that shines a spot of light where you point and move it, stimulating the cat to pounce and chase.

The VieLight 855 penetrates more deeply, right into the brain. It shines into the blood vessels on its way, passes through the thin membrane at the back of the nasal cavity and enters the cerebellum, which controls physical muscle movement and balance. The inner ear also controls balance and these structures are all close together. So the 855 helps with both blood viscosity and with balance but not with hearing as that’s a different sort of problem. It’s used for stroke patients to help brain cells repair or regrow.

The normalized blood condition lasts for two or three days assuming all else is unchanged.

VieLight Good for Anyone

You do not need to be diagnosed with anything to benefit from a VieLight. Apparently many people of normal health have viscous blood. If you are able to get a look at your own blood in a microscope, that would be a valuable window into your general health. For continuing good health, we depend on our blood carrying nutrients and picking up waste so chronically viscous blood augurs ill health. These nasal lights can be used while you’re doing kitchen work or computer work, or walking the dog — anything except swimming.
