Place the FX over the entire spine. The colon is the largest immune organ in the body.
This condition will have the standard Rx recommendations by a alopathis physician. LLLT provides mitochondrial support to an over worked neuro-immune system.
Muscle test and two-point to the lobe of the brain that relates to the painful area. Use the laser at the identified area of the brain.
Determine underlying factors such as yeast, fungus, molds, parasites, bacteria, and viruses and change Hz accordingly.
Remember the Gut/Brain Connection.
Determine underlying factors such as yeast, fungus, molds, parasites, bacteria, and viruses and change Hz accordingly.
Some alternative Hz are listed below.
If abscessed tooth - refer to a tooth and organ association chart.
Start by stabilizing the injured area.
If some myotomes are too painful, just point and shoot to help aid in healing.
Apply the laser as soon as possible after an Acute Injury: 3 Hz 9 Hz, 16 Hz, 25 Hz, 42 Hz, 125 Hz, 880 Hz, 1865 Hz for 10 - 15 min or Pain Hz 9, 16, 2720, 5000, 764, 10,000, 33, 111 for 10 - 15 min.
Perform Scar 1 x per week in the acute injury phase 8 Hz, 36 Hz, 111 Hz, 363 Hz, 25 Hz, 279 Hz, 16 Hz, 45 Hz, and this can be used more often in the proliferative phase and with chronic scarred areas.
Partial tears will respond depending on the severity of the damage and the amount of activity the person can limit while in the recovery phase.
Support with kineseotape, compression socks lace up ankle braces.
Use the percussion roller on the calves when you feel it is beneficial. Guaranteed they have a ton of trigger points.
Rehab can be done as soon as the person is out of a crisis and perform mild movement such as SlackBlock, wobble board exercises, seated/minimal weight bearing) while lasering. This can be done sitting, so no weight bearing is on the injury; clockwise, counterclockwise, 1 o'clock - 6 o'clock, 3 o'clock - 9 o'clock, etc.
Place the center laser diode(s) over the T10/T11 spinal area and the other laser heads over each kidney.
Provide alkalizing and pH balancing nutrition program.
Place the one laser diode over the nose/mouth area and the other laser heads over each cheek or the area of involvement (AOI).
The FX405 is preferred for this condition. But the FX635 will provide some benefit for most clients.
The Erchonia EVRL is FDA Cleared for "Acne," but the red laser owner can support the bodies healing by increase circulation, decrease inflammation and increase ATP and tissue regeneration. A healer provides integrative protocols to promote HEALTHY SKIN and not just focusing symptom based. Get off the sugar, cleanup the gut (yeast, fungus, molds, etc.), Balance EFA's, Get off of FOOD ALLERGIES!!! (lab test), etc.
For adult acne also consider Saw Palmetto supplement (yes, even for women). This was taught to me a longtime ago. Especially after doing all the above foundational work and had occasional non-responders.
Additional protocol may involve lasering over the:
Refer to the Rate of tissue regeneration chart if needed.
There are many good options with laser head placement and the FX 635 / FX 405. Such as:
Place one head over the Atlas, and the lower diode over T9. The middle diode is beneficial where it remains on the thoracic spine.
Place the middle diode over T9 and the other heads over the kidney/adrenal organs
Addison's Disease has numerous physical symptoms but is long term, significant, adrenal dysfunction. No one has dysfunctional adrenals and has an otherwise normal endocrine system.
Lab test the entire endocrine system and provide the appropriate support. Integrate any level of brain treatment in the program; the central nervous system/brain is dressed and that can begin with the hypo-thalamic- pituitary- adrenal axis involving the brain!
I prefer to laser with mouth open.
The adenoids are a mass of soft tissue behind the nasal cavity.
Adenoids, are made of lymphoid tissue, are part of the immune system. White blood cells circulate through the adenoids and other lymphoid tissue, reacting to foreign invaders in the body.
We all have adenoids at birth and in childhood. They are commonly symptomatic with childhood diseases such as adenoiditis and ear infections. But as we head into adolescence, they start to shrink. By adulthood, most people's adenoids have disappeared.
Refer to the Laser Essentials Video for standard myotome testing C1-C4, C5-T1, L1-S2.
Only test what is possible due to limitations of the condition.
There are many good options with laser head placement and the FX 635 / FX 405. Such as:
Adrenal fatigue/exhaustion has numerous physical symptoms. No one has dysfunctional adrenals and has an otherwise normal endocrine system.
Lab test the entire endocrine system and provide the appropriate support.
Place the FX over the entire spine. Other areas that may benefit are over each of the kidney/adrenal, colon, thymus, spleen, and the liver. Symptomatic use over the sinuses may be clinician's preference.
There are many practitioners that the primary basis is focusing on helping those with allergies. The cascade of allergy reactions in the body is extensive; IgA, IgE, IgG4, IgM, intestinal permeability, adrenal involvement, liver etc.
Using laser can help support the immense energy that is needed by the body due to the inflammation reactions, necessary tissue regeneration, improper cell communication etc.
Read "Hidden Food Allergies" by James Braly M.D. You can identify and control what you put in your mouth (although you cannot control the pollen).
All of the Brain/Body FIT® Foundations of Health are important but lab test and balance Essential Fatty Acid ratios in the body is what many (not all) need just for symptomatic relief.
Provide any and all techniques and nutritional programs but the laser makes EVERYTHING work more efficiently.
The range of 8-12 Hz is the measured frequency of the alpha waves.
The standard "MoHawk" FX placement 3 times per week for 4 weeks is a good start and re-evaluate to determine protocol moving forward.
Alpha wave frequency range bridges the gap between our conscious thinking and subconscious mind. When Alpha waves are present, your brain is clear of unwanted thoughts. You are generally experiencing a state of relaxed awareness. Alpha waves are connected with increased creativity, reduced feelings of stress and depression, improved communication between the brain hemispheres, enhanced learning and problem-solving, improved mood and stability of emotions.
Refer to the Advanced Laser Techniques Video at watch.performancepractic.com for additional protocol. The more advanced practitioners will implement "Brain Balance Technique" and the applications of "activating neuro pathways such as (but not limited to); hum, count, eye movements, facilitate vagus nerve etc.
Do not underestimate the value of a Level 1 Brain Correction using the standard frequencies (upregulation / general neuromusculoskeletal) of 9, 16, 42, 53 used consistently with a program of multiple visits of Erchonia Laser for short duration daily or as often during the week as possible. The basics help the most amount of people.
Remember the association between the gut / brain connection
Correct the Omega 3/ Omega 6 ratio in the body. Perform the lab test necessary to score AND CORRECT Arachidonic acid (AA): Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). This is below a 4 (AA) :1 (EPA) ratio.
When attention shifts to a specific thought, Alpha waves tend to disappear, which is when the brain shifts to higher frequency beta waves. If we become stressed, a phenomenon called "alpha blocking" may occur which involves excessive beta activity and very little alpha. Essentially the beta waves "block" out the production of alpha because we become too aroused.
A temporary increase in alpha occurs with many addictive drugs. These include morphine, heroin (OxyContin pain epidemic), and marijuana. There can be delta bursts with PCP (phencyclidine), and it should be noted that THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), the active ingredient in marijuana, will actually decrease beta frequency. Overall, drugs can significantly affect quantified EEG's.
Never underestimate a Level 1 Brain Correction. The above setting can be used as a starting protocol for ANY "diagnosis" given for a brain imbalance. This application has been taught to me by 100's of clinicians and listening to the thousands of treatments perform and the shared results.
The standard "MoHawk" FX placement 3 times per week for 4 weeks is a good start and re-evaluate to determine protocol moving forward. If you have rental laser program in your office that is ideal. The patient can perform 1-3 times per day.
Set up PROGRAMS of care; that is a series of visits and be consistent. "The Mohawk" laser diode position is used the most often:
You may choose to create a custom brain program in your FX 635 / FX 405 that is 10 minutes long. This allows you to reset the laser position described below all for the same "Click".
NOTE: The above-described concept will work for any condition of the brain or area of the body.
Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, senior dementia (and others) are ALL chronic neuro-degenerative conditions. In most cases there are numerous, long-term contributing factors, heavy metals, toxins, essential fatty acid, nutrient, and hormone depletion, poor mechanical afferentation (you were asymptomatic but could not do basic life movements well at age 30; example. grip strength, feet, lunges, get off the floor) and it just went downhill from there, low grade infections and more. Low Level Laser Therapy provides mitochondrial ATP benefit which is an injured common denominator no matter what the cause. But by the time you have the first symptom, of these three, 70% of the synapses are severely injured or gone (poof).
Recent Publications using Light Therapy and a separate study using Photic Therapy (eyelights and sound acoustic sound therapy at the frequency of 40 Hz showed measurable improvements.
Laser owners, this is why it is so important to do provide 60 - 120 seconds Low Level Laser Therapy on each lobe of your brain (with Erchonia handhelds) or 5 minutes with the FX 635 / FX 405 in the Mohawk position and alternate turning sideways.
The standard 1 minute each lobe 3 times per week for 4 weeks is a good start and re-evaluate to determine protocol moving forward. If you have rental laser program in your office that is ideal. The patient can perform 1-3 times per day.
Note: In a PubMed article using the Hz of 40 (infra-red and intranasal), the research showed benefits for those suffering from Alzheimer's to the settings they tested under study parameters.
Sci Rep. 2019 Apr 19;9(1):6309. doi: 10.1038/s41598-019-42693-Pulsed Near Infrared Transcranial and Intranasal Photobiomodulation Significantly Modulates Neural Oscillations: a pilot exploratory study. - PubMed - NCBI
My explanation to the reader for this success is Alzheimer's (neurodegeneration) creates a slow brain. Forty Hz is a high Beta wave (19 Hz - 40 Hz) and relatively low Gamma wave (25 - 100 Hz). The reader and treating clinician may find this useful to apply 40 Hz specific or a variation within ranges for treatment. The Erchonia laser has shown significant physiological benefit deep within the brain while lasering on the outer cranium. A 635 nm laser has a significantly more energy transfer (electron volts), per photon to the treated tissue, over longer wavelengths. Especially compared to the infra-red range (761 nm and greater is the infra-red range).
Alzheimer's and ALL neurodegenerative conditions lack neurological firing in the body. Use or lose it speeds up the disease. Vibration therapy using the VibePlate specifically for unattended "Active Unattended Laser Therapy" and to increase neural drive is fantastic!!!! The RPM can be set to mirror your laser settings from 10 - 60.
The standard "MoHawk" FX placement 3 times per week for 4 weeks is a good start and re-evaluate to determine protocol moving forward. If you have rental laser program in your office that is ideal. The patient can perform 1-3 times per day.
Do not underestimate the consistent lasering of each lobe of the brain with the above settings for short duration daily or as often weekly as possible. The basics help the most amount of people.
Position the heads of the FX 635 / FX 405 where you believe to be the priority; in one area or multiple. If using lab tests, vials and/or muscle testing identify the priority area(s). If possible, position one of the laser heads over the nerve root or area of the brain if "two point" relationship displays.
The standard "MoHawk" FX placement 3 times per week for 4 weeks is a good start and re-evaluate to determine protocol moving forward. If you have rental laser program in your office that is ideal. The patient can perform 1-3 times per day.
This is a very difficult condition. I have seen many resolutions of multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma and other neurological or autoimmune diseases. Progressed Lou Gehrig's disease is one of the most difficult conditions I have seen to reverse. The number one goal is to support the stressed system and slow down the accelerated degeneration. The body cannot make the necessary energy on its own, so we want to provide ATP to the areas you think best apply. The earlier you can provide a program of care the better the chance you have to help this person and even possibly make measured reversible changes.
These conditions are characterized by inflammation of the spinal cord leading to atrophy, hardening and thickening of muscles leading to spastic paraplegia. Mycoplasma fermentens has been related to this condition. Start by turning on the primary nerve roots (refer to the basic notes for upper and lower body).
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis / Lou Gehrig's Disease / Motor Neuron Disease and ALL neurodegenerative conditions lack neurological firing in the body. Use or lose it speeds up the disease. Vibration therapy using the VibePlate specifically for unattended "Active Unattended Laser Therapy" and to increase neural drive is fantastic!!!! The RPM can be set to mirror your laser settings from 10 - 60.
Laser over the spleen, liver, and the long bones including the sternum.
First perform lab testing and identify abnormal nutrient levels and provide nutritional support, at a corrective level, validated by post lab testing. The practitioner may laser the entire spine or over specific organs to help provide the physiological benefits for recovery. "It is the energy that drives the chemistry".
Have the patient place their hand over their forehead and place the FX 635 / FX405 over the forehead or over liver. Have the patient focus on the things that make them angry. Treat 1-5 minutes or until a calming effect takes place. You may laser over the liver up to 20 minutes per session and the brain 5 minutes per session.
The standard "MoHawk" FX placement is a great start and re-evaluate to determine protocol moving forward.
Laser over the Heart and thoracic ducts or place the laser over the nerve root/dermatome to the area of involvement which is T1/T2. In some cases, you may need to start with a low time limit and gradually progress.
Have the patient place their hand over their forehead and place the FX 635 / FX405 over the brain, or over kidney/adrenal. Have the patient focus on the things that make them anxious or stressed. Treat 1-5 minutes or until a calming effect takes place. You may laser over the entire spine up to 20 minutes per session and the brain 5 minutes per session.
The standard "MoHawk" FX placement is a great start and re-evaluate to determine protocol moving forward.
Clinical Notes: Anxiety is "Brain to fast" (body exhausted). EEG diagnostics will most commonly display elevated Beta Waves (Worry, Hyperarousal, Hypermentation and/or High Alpha Waves (Hypothyroidism, Sleep deficit and Depression). The clinician may choose Delta and Theta waves for correction.
The wavelength (635nm and the power output 7.5 - 17.25 mW (405nm output 23mW) of Erchonia laser act as a bio-modulator. We are not trying to suppress; we are not trying to stimulate; we are trying to "facilitate" proper function and communication using LLLT. This wavelength and mW output have major benefits to improving ATP synthesis. ATP is necessary for inhibition as well as excitatory nerve pathways. The body is smart, so do not get in the way of the healing. That is why many practitioners get such great results just doing a Level 1 Brain correction on EVERYTHING. But if we can use research fact and change Hz's to enhance the results even better.
Anxiety can have many "causes" and depending upon the clinical licensure and practices and philosophy will determine the course of action. But multidimensional clinicians that use an integrative approach have the greatest advantages to treat and correct the person (not the symptom).
EFA imbalance makes everyone more susceptible to Brain/Body symptoms.
Anxiety can be related to a shocking event that gets locked into sympathetic/ parasympathetic imbalance of the nervous system. Consider tissue memory and neuropeptides affecting the "Physiology" of emotions and the limbic system.
Chronic stress affects the long term cascade as well as adrenal exhaustion (really endocrine SYSTEM imbalance) and many brain disorders, including Anxiety. Chronic Anxiety generates excess cortisol which degrades hippocampal function. Loss of hippocampal function degrades short term memory. And the loss of short term memory undermines sustained attention (in the present).
The gut brain connection applies as well.
Laser the brain while driving Cranial Nerve X (ten).
See Delta, Theta or Alpha Waves (to help slow and calm the brain).
The above setting should be used but with great caution. The 10 minutes prescribed may be only if the patient has 10 minutes while their driver is preparing to go to the hospital. The first sign of appendicitis is usually unavoidable surgery. If you ever saw what an appendix looks like that they took out of surgery, even when sudden onset, the appendix is beyond repair.
NOTE: If tenderness and pain of the appendix does not resolve (in a short time) immediately report to the emergency room for further examination.
If possible position the laser over the left cortex (rhythm), middle diode over the T1/T2 and the heart.
Another placement can be the Atlas, thyroid, heart combo.
Common causes of arrhythmia are thyroid imbalance (endocrine system imbalance should be looked at comprehensively). Long term consistent ibuprofen use (the importance of EFA tests and providing preventative and corrective care, so the person never needs ibuprofen in the first place. The nervous system is affected primarily or secondarily in cases of arrhythmia.
Place the FX over the carotid arteries and/or heart.
Even if there are blockages beginning/intermediate forming, the body is meant to heal. Dr. Atkins was a cardiologist and proved this with sugar control diets. Arteriosclerosis is a disease of modern time. In combination with decreasing inflammation and balancing blood sugar the body needs ATP to heal. Performing Brain/Body FIT® Foundations and greatly improving dietary habits will reverse arterial damage if caught at a non-crisis time and the person is ready to change the lifestyle of what got them there in the first place.
There are many functional medicine and supplement protocols that would be necessary.
Food is the Foundation of Everything! Especially, cardiovascular health.
Place the FX over the area of involvement.
The preset FDA Clearances in your FX 635 / FX 405 are great "go to" programs. Plantar Fasciitis is a 10-minute anti-inflammation protocol and Low Back Pain is 20 minutes.
Vibration therapy using the VibePlate specifically for unattended "Active Unattended Laser Therapy" and to increase neural drive is fantastic for Arthritis and hundreds of common clinical uses.
The explanantion and placement written below is the primary. But never underestimate lasering the brain, Atlas, T3 or both lungs as well.
There are so many great options when helping those who have asthma. Primarily it is adrenal fatigue (putting it mildly) issue causing the problem. The medication that curves the symptoms are adrenal hormones, and just lung symptoms. Place the center laser head over T9 is the nerve roots for the adrenals (ADJUST !!!!!) and the outside laser heads over the kidney/adrenal organs.
Asthma is generally a depleted adrenal issue (only lung symptoms). Support and replenish the adrenals with supplements.
Place the laser arm over the same side cerebellum and over the ataxic muscle. If systemic place over the entire spine.
Ataxia is a neurological sign consisting of lack of voluntary coordination of muscle movements. Ataxia is a non-specific clinical manifestation implying dysfunction of the parts of the nervous system that coordinate movement, such as the cerebellum.
Place the FX over the Area of Involvement (AOI).
Athlete's foot is a common disorder of the feet characterized by scaling and/or blistering of the soles, fissures of the toe webs, and itching. Fungal infections (of the feet) are contagious and can be spread person to person or by walking on contaminated floors. Athlete's foot may spread to the palms, groin, and body.
Prevention of athlete's foot can be as simple as keeping the feet dry by using cotton socks and breathable shoes. In locker rooms bring and wear your own flip flops to prevent direct contact in high moisture, high population, highly contaminated areas.
The Erchonia violet/red laser does provide significant treatment improvement.
If appropriate, drive the pathway of the involved area of atrophy. One of the heads of the FX 635 / FX 405 may be early positioned on the nerve root to the area of involvement.
ALL atrophy and neurodegenerative conditions lack neurological firing in the body. Use or lose it speeds up the disease. Vibration therapy using the VibePlate specifically for unattended "Active Unattended Laser Therapy" and to increase neural drive is fantastic!!!! VibePlate can be purchased at www.performancepractic.com.
Using Dr. Jerome Rerucha's Active Examination Fitness Integration Technique (F.I.T.)® 3D Body Mapping® System will get maximum understanding of the imbalances involving, structure, soft tissue and neurological and the priority areas to treat using Laser, Percussion, adjustments and Clinical Exercise Rx.
Set up PROGRAMS of care; that is a series of visits and be consistent. "The Mohawk" laser diode position is the most popular when using any FX model. But you may want to alternate and implement in the cerebellum.
Laser the frontal lobe to effect "the relays" of the brain that pertains to memory.
Atlas / Occipital junction
You may also reset the eyes to the colored glasses, the ears to tuning forks and/or use the eye lights properly.
The more advanced practitioners will implement Brain Balance Technique and the applications of activating neuro pathways such as (but not limited to); hum, count, eye movements, facilitate vagus nerve etc.
Refer to Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma and Theta waves (as Hz's but not to stack the additional time on a single treatment. One or the other. But they could be done at different times in a single day with 3-4 hours in between treatments.
Do not underestimate the value of a Level 1 Brain Correction using the standard frequencies (upregulation / general neuro-musculoskeletal) of 9, 16, 42, 53 used consistently with a program of multiple visits of Erchonia Laser for short duration daily or as often during the week as possible. The basics help the most amount of people.
Remember the association between the gut / brain connection
Correct the Omega 3/ Omega 6 ratio in the body. Perform the lab test necessary to score AND CORRECT Arachidonic acid (AA): Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). This is below a 4 (AA) :1 (EPA) ratio.
ADD, Autism etc. youth respond very well to activity (tumbling etc.). For practical purposes in the clinic SlackBlock, and VibePlate is amazing to promote neuroplasticity and rhythms of the body!!!!!!!
The standard "MoHawk" FX placement 3 times per week for 4 weeks is a good start and re-evaluate to determine protocol moving forward. If you have rental laser program in your office that is ideal. The patient can perform 1-3 times per day.
Gamma wave is a pattern of neural oscillation in humans with a frequency between 25 and 100 Hz, though 25-40 Hz is typical. Gamma waves may be implicated in creating the unity of conscious perception. Calixto Machado MD, PhD, FAAN; President of the Cuban Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, is doing significant research using the Erchonia laser and measuring brain changes using MRI, EEG, and QEEGt.
Conditions include, but not limited to autism, ADD/ADHD, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, traumatic brain injury, and concussion.
Provide treatment to each lobe over each Parietal, Frontal, Occipital, Temporal lobes, including cerebellum, up the nasal passages, open mouth (with tongue activation, and Atlas/Occipital junction.
Additional frequency modifications can be performed using Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma, Theta waves in this A-Z Frequency Manual.
You may also reset the eyes to the colored glasses, the ears to tuning forks and/or use the eye lights properly.
Do not underestimate the value of a Level 1 Brain Correction using the standard frequencies (upregulation / general neuromusculoskeletal) of 9, 16, 42, 53 used consistently with a program of multiple visits of Erchonia Laser for short duration daily or as often during the week as possible.
