• Number of protons produces different Number of protons produces different magnetic fields magnetic fields

• 20 protons = calcium atom20 protons = calcium atom

• 79 protons = gold atom79 protons = gold atom

• 1 proton = hydrogen atom1 proton = hydrogen atom

• An atom cannot gain or lose a protonAn atom cannot gain or lose a proton

Shortcut to Cell.lnk

ION

Shortcut to Cell.lnk

•Hydrogen ion is a hydrogen atom Hydrogen ion is a hydrogen atom (single proton) that loses its electron (single proton) that loses its electron and is positively chargedand is positively charged

• Atom that gains or loses an electron Atom that gains or loses an electron and becomes either positively or and becomes either positively or negatively charged is an ionnegatively charged is an ion

pH

Shortcut to Cell.lnk

• Stands for “potential hydrogen”Stands for “potential hydrogen”

• pH is determined by the amount of pH is determined by the amount of hydrogen ions presenthydrogen ions present

• More hydrogen ions = acidMore hydrogen ions = acid

• Fewer hydrogen ions = alkalineFewer hydrogen ions = alkaline

PHOTONS

►Are small packets of light energy in the form of a wave element with a defined wavelength & a frequency related to that wavelength

Objective of Study

►Determine the effectiveness of the Q Laser System in controlling symptoms of Osteoarthritis of the Hand

►Over the Counter►Placebo controlled

INSTRUMENTS

►Q Laser System

**Q1000 - 8 LEDs and 12 5 mW laser diodes arranged

to form 6 direct soliton waves and 32 indirect

soliton waves**Ultra Probe - single diode 50

mW continuous beam enhancer probe

FREQUENCY

►Pulse Frequency or Number of pulses per second

Altered by movement

Frequency

►One way frequency works is by Canceling Waves• ½ cycle off

CONSTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE

When the combined amplitude of waves is greater than individual amplitude, the signal

gets stronger.

Harmonic Resonance

Is the same thing as constructive interference

CONSTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE

DESTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE

When one wave is peaking & the other is troughing, they cancel

each other out

Out of Resonance

When the waves are not converging and cancel

each other

Laser Output Power

►Measured in milliwatts (mW)

►Higher power output over similar area = higher power density

►Variation of Output Power affects results

Power Density

►Light concentration-Energy Density – W/cm2

►More power is not better►Body sets up impedance, or

polarizes against, too much power and becomes less effective

Joules

►Measurement of energy delivered by a laser-Dose

►Formula:

Output x Time ÷ Area

Dose

►Measured in J/CM2 is the Energy Density of the photons emitted

Penetration

►The ability to get laser energy deep into the tissue is a key to success

Soliton Wave

HOW LASER ENERGY HEALS

►Low Level Lasers re-energize sick and injured cellular membranes allowing nutrients to pass through.

Best Laser Results

►STIMULATE• Nerves, bone, joints, tendons,

cartilage & ligaments

►RESONATE• Muscles, organs, glands

►Acupoint Therapy with the right laser

LEDs

What about them?

Uses of Low Level Lasers?

►Better answered by asking “What CAN’T Low Level Lasers be used for?

►Answer: Nothing!

HOW LASER ENERGY HEALS

►Low Level Lasers re-energize sick and injured cellular membranes allowing nutrients to pass through.
