What? No Insurance for LED Light Therapy?

What’s this about infrared light therapy and dramatic recovery from chronic wounds and healing severely damaged tissues—has the medical community found something better than surgery?

Three highly-qualified RN’s have published their findings about the benefits of treatment that overcome the complications of severe tissue damage caused by underlying auto-immune disease, arthritis, unstable diabetes, or resistance to antibiotic therapies. (Wow!—it’s better than antibiotics?! I do NOT like taking medications if possible—and this is more beneficial, medically proven and validated, and…more affordable than repeated hospital or skilled facility placement?)
Now comes the hard part: who to believe—the insurance companies and which part of the government?

Well, it works for our fighting men in the military: this has already validated in a NASA News, Marshall Space Flight Center News Release 00-336 (12-18-00). Dr. Harry Whelan, commander and diving medical officer in the U.S. Navy reserve then assigned to Naval Special Warfare Command and a professor of pediatric neurology and director of hyperbaric medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin, has been working alongside doctors at Navy Special Warfare Command centers in Norfolk, VA, and San Diego, CA. They reported a 40 percent improvement in patients who had musculoskeletal training injuries treated with the light-emitting diodes. In the laboratory, Whelan and his team have shown that skin and muscle cells grown in cultures and exposed to the LED infrared light grow 150 to 200 percent faster than ground control cultures not stimulated by the light. Furthermore, a wound-healing device was placed on the USS Salt Lake City submarine, and doctors reported 50 percent faster healing of crewmember’s lacerations when exposed to the LED light. Injuries treated with the LEDs healed in seven days, while untreated injuries took 14 days.

And it helps children too: Dr. Whelan’s NASA-funded research has already seen remarkable results using the light-emitting diodes to promote healing of painful mouth ulcers caused by cancer therapies such as radiation and chemotherapy. The treatment is quick and painless. Doctors at the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin recently completed the first-ever surgery with the improved probe and medicine. The drug also has fewer side effects after surgery. The ongoing brain surgery study is described in a 1999 peer-reviewed journal article in Pediatric Neurosurgery. “Some children who probably would have had to be fed intravenously because of the severe sores in their mouths have been able to eat solid food,” said Dr. David Margolis, an oncologist at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin in Milwaukee and an assistant professor of pediatrics at the Medical College of Wisconsin.

So what’s the fuss? Aetna states on the Clinical Policy Bulletin Number 0604 that
{ treatment with low-level infrared light (infrared therapy, Anodyne Therapy System) experimental and investigational for the treatment of chronic non-healing wounds, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, lymphedema, neck pain, acne, osteoarthritis, ischemic stroke and all other indications (except for grade I and II internal hemorrhoids) because of a lack of adequate evidence in the peer-reviewed published medical literature regarding the effectiveness of infrared therapy for these indications.)
In other words, they can’t believe it’s possible and all results achieved are not to be believed, regardless of recovery and evidence.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services also has a blind eye:

  • CMS has determined that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the use of Infrared devices is not reasonable and necessary for treatment of Medicare beneficiaries for diabetic and non-diabetic peripheral sensory neuropathy, wounds and ulcers, and similar related conditions, including symptoms such as pain arising from these conditions. Therefore, we are issuing the following National Coverage Determination.
  • The use of infrared and/or near-infrared light and/or heat, including monochromatic infrared energy (MIRE), is not covered for the treatment, including symptoms such as pain arising from these conditions, of diabetic and/or non-diabetic peripheral sensory neuropathy, wounds and/or ulcers of skin and/or subcutaneous tissues in Medicare beneficiaries.

Great! I’m convinced more than ever that when (one part) of the government says No” and another part heavily involved in physical human resources (the military) says “Yes,” I’m inclined to think that progress comes through effort and application—and being open to new ideas. Insurance companies are another issue; just ask AIG. Well, that settles it: if it heals me if I am in physical need, whom do I believe: the results my doctor gets or a bureaucrat? Ship it!

Although many clients have reportedly been able to discontinue or downgrade their medication, including morphine, it is recommended that you work closely with your primary health practitioner for any medication changes.

Will this therapy work over clothing?

Although we recommend direct contact with the skin, when possible, the LED’s will be effective over clothing. If at all possible try to use it over natural fibers such as cotton or wool. If natural fibers are not available then wear a thin material such as rayon, nylon, or polyester. However, length of treatment time might be less when there is direct contact with the skin.

Can I use this unit with a pace maker?

We could find no specific research contradicting the use of LED devices with pacemakers. Consequently, it would be wise to consult your primary medical practitioner or a doctor with a working knowledge of light and vibrational therapies.

I live alone. can I treat myself?

Yes. The device is designed to be lightweight and easy to handle. When treating your hands the device can be placed in your lap. Additionally, there are accessories available to further improve the ease of use

Light Sound Technology actively searches for skin care products that are natural alternatives to Botox™and expensive cosmetic surgery or risky antibiotics that you can use in the privacy of your home.  The LED Light therapy products, LST recommends are below, and  give you a choice in cost and method.  These LED Light Therapy products stimulate cellular regeneration and cellular production.

LFT9000 Acne and Skin

Dr. Skin Care Acne and Skin System

Cosmetic Lasers and LED Light Therapy have shown to reverse and control the visible signs of aging and help you look years younger. The FDA Approved devices  are  becoming one of our most popular LED Light Therapy Systems

LED Light therapy has been shown in over 40 years of independent research worldwide to deliver powerful therapeutic benefits to living tissues and organisms. Both visible and infrared light have been shown to effect at least 24 different positive changes at a cellular level. Visible light penetrates tissue to a depth of about 8-10 mm.
Depth of penetration is defined as the depth at which 60% of the light is absorbed by the tissue, while 40% of the light will continue to be absorbed in a manner that is less fully understood. Treating points with light can have a dramatic effect on remote and internal areas of the body through the stimulation of nerves, acupuncture and trigger points that perform function not unlike transmission cables.

Our LFT FRK Kit is a Cosmetic Infrared Light therapy system utilizing the energy of light, called photon energy, to stimulate the activity of certain cell components. By using photo energy, you have a simple, effective, non-pharmacological medical alternative. It is quickly effective, cost effective, and easy to administer.

Light is energy that moves in a wave pattern. Light is also characterized by its wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum. There are components in the tissue and blood that absorb wavelengths and activate normal cell activity. The reason for this increased cell activity is the photon. The photon is the energy portion of the light wave. For this reason we often refer to this therapy as PHOTON THERAPY.

Once delivered, the light energy promotes the process of photobiostimulation. The positive effect of photobiostimulation on animal cells is analogous to photosynthesis in plant cells, whereby a chain of chemical reactions are set in motion. In human tissue the resulting photochemical reaction produces an increase in the cellular metabolism rate which expedites cell repair.

Included with our Rejuvenation Kit is a FREE bottle of Olive Gold 03 (a $54.99 value)

FAQs

Can I Be Allergic To Oxygen/Ozone?

It is impossible to be allergic to oxygen/ozone. Ozone is an energized form of oxygen. Ozone is naturally formed by the sun and lightning in storms. Without the ozone layer high in the atmosphere, life could not exist on our planet. Ozone actually filters out the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays and, in addition, makes for that beautiful blue color in the sky.

Is There Any Science To Support Oxygen/Ozone Therapy?

The scientific literature is vast in support of the effectiveness and safety of oxygen/ozone therapy. Recently, the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) reviewed and accepted Oxygen/Ozone in Dentistry as scientifically valid.

How Does Oxygen/Ozone Therapy Work?

Oxygen/Ozone, when introduced into the living system, creates what is called a “transient oxidative burst.” Pathogenic “biofilms” and microorganisms have no natural defense against this reaction and, as a result, are overstressed and die. Surrounding healthy tissue is unaffected and there are no toxic side effects. This “oxidative burst” also induces a multitude of natural biochemical and physiologic reactions, including better blood flow, enhanced immune response, and a more rapid healing response.
