LLLT / Photobiomodulation cures acute thrombocytopenia in mice

Zhang et al showed that whole body 810nm laser 100mW/cm2, 30J/cm2 cures acute thrombocytopenia in mice.

Thrombocytopenia is a common hematologic disorder that is managed primarily by platelet transfusions. They showed that noninvasive whole-body illumination cures acute thrombocytopenia triggered by g-irradiation within 2 weeks in mice, as opposed to a 5-week recovery time required in controls.

The low-level laser (LLL) also greatly accelerated platelet regeneration in the presence of anti-CD41 antibody that binds and depletes platelets, and prevented a severe drop in platelet count caused by a common chemo-therapeutic drug.

They conclude: this safe, drug-free, donor-independent modality represents a paradigm shift in the prophylaxis and treatment of thrombocytopenia.

NovoTHOR testimonial: Post Surgical Healing and Lymphedema

NovoTHOR: The whole-body light pod using Photobiomodulation Therapy“I was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer in August 2015. My treatment plan was chemotherapy, double mastectomy and radiation therapy. Valerie is a friend from church who began discussing light therapy with me after I finished my chemotherapy treatments, before I had surgery. Valerie explained to me all the research that had been done and how light therapy has benefited many people.

I was very open minded about trying the treatment, so Valerie recommended visiting with my oncologist. I visited with my radiation oncologist, and he gave me permission to do the light therapy.

I did my first session prior to surgery, based on Valerie’s suggestion, to promote quicker healing. At first, prior to the surgery, I really couldn’t tell much difference. After surgery however, my surgeon was surprised at how quickly I was healing. I attribute this to the light therapy I had received prior to the surgery.

Another thing I noticed that made a huge physical difference as a result of doing the light treatments was that after surgery I could feel the fluid building up in my lymph node area. Immediately after a light therapy treatment, the fluid was gone! That’s when I realized the biggest difference the light therapy made.

I will definitely continue with light therapy until I am completely healed.”

Testimonial: Tor Gotun, DDS, General Dentist

Tor Gotun, DDS, General Dentist“I have undergone a hip replacement and the THOR treatment managed to close the incision in less than a week so I could go in the hot tub.
I had no bandage on from that point. I continued treatment for more 2 weeks. The result is that I will have my next hip this coming Monday, 2 months ahead of schedule!

The standard interval between replacing hips is 3 months. This is based on speed of healing as seen on radiographs, test of mobility, level of pain and the possibility of coagulation problems for the next surgery (thrombosis). I have no pain in the hip, no limp and all the testing shows great results.

Thanks to THOR I’m having my second one after only one month.”
