In his newsletter "Health & Healing" of June 2005, Dr.
Julian Whitaker, MD wrote about the benefits of infrared light wave
therapy called Anodyne Therapy.
The treatment is painless, and consists of strapping on a sleeve on
the skin, at the source of the pain, that contains infrared light sources.
The theory is that the light source emits a wavelength that penetrates
into the tissues, and stimulates the release of nitric oxide, that plays
a role in cardiovascular health causing the dilation of blood vessels,
improving blood flow. The blood flow brings oxygen to the injured tissue.
There has been scientific/medical research supporting Anodyne Therapy.
A study in "Diabetes Care" (January 27(1):168-72) titled "Restoration
of Sensation", reduced pain, and improved balance in subjects with
diabetic peripheral neuropathy, anodyne therapy demonstrated strong benefits. Patients
received three 40 minute treatments a week for two weeks of either Anodyne
therapy or a placebo instrument that looked the same only the light
source was not infra red. This was followed by another 2 weeks in which
all participants received the 6 Anodyne therapy treatments.
Pain as reported on a 10 point scale fell from 4.2 to 3.2 after 6 treatments
and to 2.3 after 12 treatments. Sensation returned as meaured by the
Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament, a standard test that uses slender filament
pressed against the skin. Balance also improved markedly. Prior to Anodyne
Therapy, 90% of the participants had substantial balance problems. After
treatment only 17% still had balance problems. In a Veterans Administration
study, patients with non-healing ulcers of long duration (6 to 40 years),
the patients using Anodyne Therapy had remarkable improvement after
3 weeks of treatment. Previously untreatable wounds healed completely.
This therapy was first introduced in 1994 and over a million patients
have received it since. Some insurance will cover it, and there is a
code for Medicare Reimbursement. Especially for wound healing where
other therapies failed. There are 3,000 physicians using it. To find
