3 Laserlight4life-therapy It s becoming increasingly clear that chronic dysfunction of mitochondria is another underlying factor that contributes to poor brain function and mental illness. Mitochondria are unique structures within every cell of your body. You have trillions and trillions of them, making up approximately 10% of your total body weight. They are considered the powerhouses of the cell, generating most of the energy in your body by converting your nutrition into adenosine-5 - triphosphate (ATP). ATP is your body s main source of cellular fuel. You are constantly using it, and your brain needs enough of it to work properly. So not surprisingly, numerous studies show that there is a correlation between impaired mitochondrial functioning in the brain and many psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases, including addiction to drugs and Alcohol, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson s disease, Alzheimer s disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, schizophrenia, psychosis, panic disorder, social anxiety, generalized anxiety and other stress-related diseases. Every single one of those conditions has been linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. In fact, many researchers are convinced that mitochondrial dysfunction is involved in almost every chronic disease. Mitochondria dysfunction decreases ATP energy production and increases oxidative stress, which are commonly found in the brains of people suffering from drug and alcohol dependency, brain and mental health disorders. Cognitive symptoms of mitochondrial dysfunction can also include impairments in attention, executive function and memory. Unfortunately, a number of prescription drugs damage the mitochondria and worsen dysfunction. But luckily, there are ways to halt and reverse mitochondrial decay. Systemic Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a treatment that uses low-level (low-power) lasers light diodes to stimulate brain cells, helping them heal and function better. There is strong evidence to suggest that LLLT supports the mitochondria. Research shows that it reduces oxidative stress and increases the production of ATP energy in mitochondria. These mitochondrial benefits have also been seen directly within the brain. Studies show that LLLT increases mitochondrial activity within brain cells, and this leads to beneficial effects in behaviour. On top of all this, LLLT treatment has been shown to increase the number of mitochondria and mitochondrial oxygen usage within the brain. In chronic chemical dependency Autonomic nervous system dysregulation is also well documented leading to inability to deal with stress and to achieve the retoreitive sleep cycle. Systemic laser light therapy can help restore damaged mitochondria and at the same time have benifical effects on the ANS. Well overlooked in the treatment of addiction to Alcohol and Drugs is the the attention to our cellular health and wellbeing laser light therapy can help restore our mitochondrial function rebalance the Autonomic nervous system giving us a greater chance of success in long term healthy recovery from chemical dependencies and Stress related conditions during or after detoxification period.

4 An Introduction into Systemic Low-Level Laser Therapy What is Systemic Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)? LASER is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Laser light has a narrow frequency and is coherent. It stimulates the photo receptors and modulates enzymatic activity of cells. Systemic Low-Level Laser Therapy is a form of photobio-modulation. Systemic Low-Level Laser Therapy or Cold Laser therapy is the application of specific wavelengths of coherent laser light to blood to initiate a healing response (see below). L.I.F.E uses laser diodes with a wavelength of 660nm (RED) and 520nm (GREEN), which have a distinctly different effect on the body s metabolism, immune system, endocrine system and autonomic nervous system. Our lasers for systemic LLLT have a power output of just 1-5mW. Laser light is applied transcutaneously (through the skin) over the inner side of the wrist (in the area of the radial pulse, irradiating artery, capillaries, skin receptors and nerve cells, which disseminates to all cells, tissues and organs. Systemic LLLT is safe, non-heat producing and gentle, stimulating the body s own healing response. History of systemic Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) LLLT was first introduced for the clinical treatment of cardiovascular diseases in 1981 by the Russian Scientists E.N. Meschalin and V.S. Sergievskiy. Since then it has been used and researched in Russia, North and Eastern Europe and China for many conditions. The compliance and popularity have been good, as the treatment has very little side-effects only. Effects of Systemic Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) on health and wellness: Significant improvement of general fitness Improved sleep and vigilance Improved mood It activates the parasympathetic activity of the autonomic nervous system counteracting the long-term effect of stress on the organism. Anti-ageing Effect of LLLT blood therapy on all organs: a. Normalisation of cell membrane potential b. Stimulation of immune response, specific and non-specific c. Increase of IgG, IgM and IgA d. Stimulation of interferons, interleukins and TNF-alpha e. Stimulation of the proliferation of lymphocytes f. Increase of phagocytic activity of macrophages g. Lowering CRP h. Improvement of the anti-oxidant enzymatic system with antitoxic effect i. Improvement of regeneration of erythrocytes and of microcirculation j. Reduction of aggregation of erythrocytes k. Activation of fibrinolysis l. Stimulation of NO production in monocytes with vasodilatation and improvement of endothelial dysfunction m. Fusion of mitochondria to giant mitochondria with increase of ATP-production in the respiratory chain 4 Telephone: // Enquiry@laserlight4life.co.uk

5 Effects of Low Level Laser Therapy in research and clinical settings*: General: Optimization of diabetic metabolism Improved blood fat profile Improved liver and kidney function Reduction of relapse of chronic-inflammatory bowel disease Improved general wellbeing and mobility in multiple sclerosis Improved pain control in chronic pain Improved tinnitus Reduction of anti-hypertensive medication Reduced general inflammation Reduced drug consumption Anti-inflammatory Improved immunology Improved rheology (reduced thrombocyte aggregation; improved deformation of erythrocytes improved oxygen supply, decreased CO2 partial pressure; improved wound healing) Activation of macrophages; improved proliferation of lymphocytes [B-(bone marrowhumoral) and T-cell (thymus - cellular) population] Activation of fibrinolysis Increased ATP synthesis Normalization of cell membrane potential Vasodilatation (better tissue trophic situation) NO release from monocytes Avoiding thromboembolic complications and improvement of wound healing Analgesic, spasmolytic and sedative effects Improved medication tolerance Improved renal function Stimulation of utero-placental blood exchange Giant mitochondria - increased production of ATP Improved microcirculation in CNS, especially in the hypothalamus and limbic system, leading to an activation of hormonal, metabolic immunological and vegetative processes with mobilization of adaptive reserve. Specific: Metabolic disorders: o Hypercholesterolemia o Diabetes Cardio- vascular diseases: o Arteriosclerosis o Micro-Angiopathy o Coronary heart disease o Heart failure o Hypertension o Erectile dysfunction Immune system: o Allergies o Hay fever o Asthma o Autoimmune diseases o Rheumatoid arthritis o Multiple Sclerosis o Recurrent infections o Chronic infections (bacterial, viral and parasites) o Chronic and chronic recurrent chest infections o Influenza (recovery) o Lyme Disease o Chronic hepatitis o HIV o Low Immunity o Hashimoto disease o Multiple sclerosis o Psoriasis Chronic pain o Fibromyalgia o Osteoarthritis o Migraines o Chronic head ache 5

The small doses that are used to stimulate the organism towards regeneration and repair, have no impact on healthy cells and organ function. Through its beneficial effect on mitochondrial energy metabolism, reduction of chronic inflammation, and increased production and bioavailability of Nitric Oxide it may play a very important role in healthy recovery. *Note: The LIFE device is not a medical device and makes no medical claims.

Any clinical indications in the manual have only been given for information and educational purposes. General research into the effects of Systemic Low-Level Laser Low Level Laser Therapy is scientifically well documented for many indications; there are more than 100 double-blind positive studies confirming the clinical effect of LLLT. More than 2500 research reports are published. In 2005 the Postgraduate Medical Journal (81: ) published a scientific review of 100 scientific studies from Eastern Europe on the use of blood irradiation in the treatment of The study was conducted by T Moshkovska, J Mayberry from the Leicester General Hospital, Leicester, UK. The study was published under the name It is time to test low level laser therapy in Great Britain. The authors of the study have come to following conclusion: The ability to non-thermally and non-destructively change cell function is known as laser bio-stimulation and is the basis for the current use of lasers in a number of medical fields. The worldwide interest in LLLT is illustrated by its use in more than 85 institutions in over 37 countries. Since the first study was reported in 1967, some 2500 papers have been published in a range of journals worldwide and the value of LLLT is much better reported than many believe. Its scientific background is sound enough to say that it is both safe and effective.
