Photonic Treatment of Viral Diseases
Viral diseases are generally not susceptible to antibiotics. However, they may be successfully treated simply, scientifically, and easily, by the application of red light.
In general, the method has been successfully used on a range of conditions from HIV, Herpes cold sores, shingles, and the common cold and flu in humans, to horses diagnosed with West Nile Virus in the USA. In Australia Photonic Therapy has been used to treat simpler conditions of stable cough, a couple of cases of Equine Influenza, Equine Herpes, in a number of forms, (Rhinopneumonitis, Coital Exanthema and Abortion, and viral Keratoconjunctivitis).
In dogs, Distemper and Parvo Virus are readily treated, as are Bovine Viral Diarrhoea (BVD) in cattle and alpacas, Rhinopneumonitis in California desert tortoises, and in Africa, I am informed the method has even been used to combat African Horse Sickness (and the side effects of vaccinations).
Equine viral diseases of horses, cause vast disruption and considerable economic loss within the equine and related industries, and undue consternation of horse owners.
While lack of immunity due to previous isolation, the sudden ingress of insect vector borne viruses, or due to serious quarantine failure can be understood and regretted, it is the general lack of understanding of light/tissue interactions by the Veterinary and Medical professions in the treatment of viral diseases, that to my way of thinking contribute to, or is the main problem. In my opinion while ignorance may be is excusable, the desire to remain ignorant is not.
Following is a simple, scientific and successful method, which all owners can apply to treat their animals (or themselves), when affected by most viral diseases. The method is so simple that it beggars belief that it is not more widely practiced. The method I describe is scientifically based and has been extensively proven. If one accepts the results, then it may be classed as evidence based medicine, though sceptics will always claim it is mere anecdotal evidence.
It has been well known for centuries that red light is anti-viral, and even before viral and bacterial diseases were differentiated, it was known that red light could “treat” certain diseases
In the 1500’s an English Prince contacted smallpox (a viral disease) and was confined in a red room, red bedclothes, red curtains, with instructions that the curtains were not to be opened. He was being held in diffuse red light. He is reported to have healed without a scar.
In the early 1900’s a Danish doctor was awarded the Nobel Prize for treating smallpox and tuberculosis with red light.
In1902 a French doctor showed he could abort measles in children with red light.
It was also known that in the early days of photography, persons who spent long hours in a dark room (illuminated by red light) when developing photographic plates, also developed a range of neurological symptoms. All this was very interesting but could not be explained, then in 1945/1965 we got antibiotics (wonder drugs, very profitable), so all the previous knowledge was metaphorically “thrown out” and discarded.
I was aware of this information, and used it in a roundabout way (mid 1980s) to develop a method of washing embryos for the Cocos Island High Security Animal Quarantine Station, to allow the importation of Fat Tailed sheep from the Middle East into Western Australia. By changing the electrical potential of frozen embryos by thawing them in dilute citric acid, we were able to eliminate Foot and Mouth virus, etc.
However, it was not until the mid 1990s that I was able to finally understand the interconnecting sciences, based on two Nobel prize winner’s work, which were those of Dr. Mitchel’s Chemiosmotic Theory, and Drs Diesenhoffer, Huber and Michel’s description of the precise atomic structure of the energy transducing molecule, that converts light energy into a charge separation across a cell membrane.
It is important to understand that what we call “visible” light is just that part of the sun’s electromagnetic spectrum, which stimulates the human eye, and consists of some 300 wavelengths. When combined these different wavelengths interfere with each other and cause the equivalent of visible static, which we call white light.
Colour is the human eye’s perception of the energy level of a particular band of those visible wavelengths. Therefore, when we talk of red light it is not the colour “per se” that is important, except as a guide to the energy level we are seeking to use.
Consider how a fishing pole appears to bend in water due to the refractive index of the air/water interface. This is due to the speed of light being slower in any medium more solid than air. If red light is shone onto a piece of thin tissue (e.g., through an ear lobe) we see red light going in and red light coming out the other side. However, the energy level inside the tissue cannot be discussed in either wavelengths or colour, as it has to be divided by the refractive index of the tissue on entry (slows down), and then multiplied by the same factor on emergence (speeds up). Therefore, red light on the outside is not red light inside tissue. It is what the red light refracts down to that is important.
Another important fact to understand is that all proteins are allosteric, that is, they work according to their shape. Their shape is in turn, dictated by numerous, minute, and often counter-veiling electrical forces. Change the shape of the protein and you change its function. This fact explains why we have various hormones and enzymes coursing through our system all the time, but it takes some “event” to change them from their inactive to active forms. Platelets, which are basically non-nucleated spherical fragments in the blood system, do not cause clotting until they enter the negatively charged field of cut collagen fibres in the wall of the damaged blood vessel. Under this minute electrical field change the platelets grow pseudopods or “false feet”, which form a network that allows them to aggregate into a clot. The changed tension on their cell membrane in turn changes the electrical potential of the membrane, which then allows the diffusion of various chemicals out of the platelet to speed up the clotting process.
Think of this fact as taking a piece of paper, which when flat is good for writing on. If crumpled into a ball, it is still the same piece of paper but no good to write on, but could be used to throw into a waste paper bin. Think of all the creases in the ball of the screwed-up paper (or a globule of protein), as being held together by minute electrical charges. Change the charges, and you change the shape, which changes the function.
There are a number of other examples we can use to explain protein shape and function. The most common is the Litmus Test, where a piece of paper (soaked in a protein called Litmus), changes colour depending on whether it is placed in an acid solution (turns red) or an alkali solution (turns blue). This colour change is due to the litmus, either accepting or donating hydrogen ions, thereby changing shape in different directions, and thus changing its spectral absorption and reflection patterns.
This information is well known and utilized in hospitals. When an infant is born the umbilical cord is severed and tied off. If this is not done relatively quickly after birth, the infant is oversupplied with its’ mother’s blood. As the immature little liver cannot chemically change the blood breakdown products to eliminate them in the stool, a condition of neo-natal jaundice or “kernicterus” develops. To correct this, the infant is placed naked, under a bright light for 48 hours, a soft blue light would scientifically be more advantageous. The application of the light changes the shape of the blood breakdown products, making them water soluble, so they may now be eliminated in the urine. Remember, if you change the shape of a protein, you change its function.
We are all familiar with the fact that at fertilization there are millions of sperm jockeying for entry into the ovum, but on entry of the first sperm others are excluded. Why? Because the sperm were attracted to the ovum by its’ electromagnetic field, and on entry of the first sperm, the now combined electromagnetic field had altered, and this changed the protein in the ovum membrane restricting further access.
The raw eggwhite is comprised largely of a protein called albumen, which is arranged in loose wavy chains, making the eggwhite liquid, and translucent. Apply heat by cooking, and the chains straighten, pack together more tightly, making the eggwhite solid and opaque. It is still the same protein, just “shaped” differently.
Blood coagulates on a glass slide due to the negatively charged ions on the glass. If we remove the positively charged calcium from the blood (making the blood negative) it will not clot. If we add heparin (a highly negatively charged glyco-protein), blood does not clot. Therefore, it may be stated that the body only works within a very small, but defined range of electrical potentials. We are still talking about protein function according to shape, but modifying the information to bring in the fact of the amount of electrical charge to which the body responds.
When tissue is cut, the bottom of the wound is negative, and the top of the wound is positive. The two positive lips of the wound cause it to gape. The negative bottom of the wound attracts fibroblasts to cause the wound to heal. If red light is applied to the wound, making it all negative compared to the surrounding tissue, then the wound does not gape open, and heals faster (also with less pain).
There is a vast amount of incorrect information about the effect of light on tissue, penetration etc. The skin is the largest organ in the body, and the subcutaneous tissue is largely comprised of a protein called collagen, which is the largest protein type in the body. When light is shone onto the skin it does not have to penetrate deeply, just through the skin to stimulate the electrical properties of the collagen.
When one goes out in the rain and gets their head wet, one often ends up with a common cold. The virus was not on (or in) the raindrop, but was lying dormant in the person’s body. When the cold rain reduced the temperature of the scalp, it changed the pyroelectrical potential of the collagen bed in the scalp, which in turn reduced the immune system, and allowed the common cold to develop (runny nose, sinus pain, coughs, etc).
It may now be seen that the entire body’s physiological functions may be explained electrically. If we change the electrical potential of the skin in given patterns, we can change the electrical patterns in the brain to affect such things as immunity to infection. Therefore, we may see that as we change the electrical potential of viral coat proteins, or tissue cellular membranes, we can affect the viral attachment or penetration of cells.
How do we treat a viral disease?
Simply apply a red light to the Jugular vein for 15 minutes, 2 or three times a day at the outbreak of first symptoms. By stimulating related skin areas more consistent results will be achieved. Each wavelength of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) has a specific energy level and the higher up the scale the lower the energy. Therefore, depending on the wavelength used, e.g.660 nm for 15 minutes, or a higher (near infra-red) wavelength could be used for a proportionately longer time, to provide similar results.
In the body about one-seventh (1/7) of the blood goes to the brain at any given time, and takes about a minute to transfer around. While there are 4 major and some lesser arteries taking blood to the brain, most of this blood returns via the two Jugular veins. These are located on either side of the neck and can easily be found on either side of the Larynx (Adam’s Apple). This point overlies the Carotid Artery, and Carotid Sinus.
In theory, if 1/7th of the blood is going to the brain per minute, then roughly 1/14th is returning each minute via one of the two Jugular veins. Hold the light on the skin over the Jugular for 14 minutes and you have theoretically treated all the blood in the body. As we change the electrical potential of viral coat proteins or tissue cellular membranes, we can affect the viral attachment/penetration of cells.
One of the advantages of this method is that it is very difficult to do anything wrong. AS the photons of light energy absorbed, get converted to electrons (negative charges), we cannot make tissue more negative than it should be, as the tissue quickly transfers its electrons to positively charged tissue.
An acupuncture point is an area of the skin of lowered electrical resistance (increased conductance), which is 5 to 45 mV more positive than the surrounding skin, and therefore more tender or painful. By applying red light to these areas one is changing the electrical field potential of the skin. This in turn modifies the electrical field potential of an equivalent areas in the thalamus and hypothalamus of the brain, which changes the way the brain functions, changing the autonomic nervous system, the immune function and so on.
The location of the acupuncture points described above are clearly set out and best found in the CD accompanying the Photonic Therapy equipment.
For those persons wishing a more scientific explanation of light/tissue interactions a recommended book heavy in biochemical detail, would be Bioenergetics 2, by Nicholls D, & Ferguson S., Academic Press, 1992. Bioenergetics 3 is an updated version by the same authors.
