I attended a portion of the NC Chiropractic Convention and attended a Low Level Light Therapy (LLLt) seminar that addressed many protocols. Dr. Christopher Carraway, a Chirpractic Neurologist that is brilliant as it relates to understanding the nervous system and how to use LLLT, also known as Photobiomodulation, for treating a myriad of issues.
One Doctor attending asked if he had ever used the Laser (which is how the light is administered) for Crohn's. He had not, but I have. And it was amazing that about 10% of the attendees had someone close to them with Crohn's or ulcerative colitis. With that said, I thought it would be a good idea to share my Crohn's protocol. This protocol is specific to Multiradiance Medical's LLLT devices. But I suspect your practitioner would know the translation.
I want to mention that I am not a practitioner, although my husband is a Chiropractor, so this and anything on this site should be considered my story, versus medical advice. Feel free to take anything mentioned to your practitioner to see if it could help you, however:)
During
a Flareup:
Local
treatment: 1000-3000 Hz 3 minutes per location daily: Use the Laser Stim at the
same frequency to identify the abnormalities. Once an abnormality is
identified, use the Shower for 3 minutes at that location. And then begin to
find the next abnormality. Once found treat the new area with the Laser Stim
until the 3 minutes of the Shower is complete at the prior location and then
begin 3 minutes of Shower at the new location. Complete this process for 8 to
10 locations if necessary to treat all abnormalities.
Systemic:
- 5000 Hz lumbar spine with additional time at any areas
of subluxation. I have a bulging disc at L4/5 so I treat this area for
about a minute with an additional couple minutes scanning the lumbar area.
- 50 Hz 45 seconds at multiple locations on each tibia as well as the iliac daily. I am a big believer in cell autophagy as part of the healing process when in remission, and am convinced that additional stem cell generation will turnover deficient cells. For severe cases, I would suggest coupling this with fasting, then the body also protects healthy cells. I specifically recommend a fasting mimicking diet (check out the Longevity Diet by Valter Longo) in conjunction with this treatment to improve the amount of immune deficient t-cells that get replaced with healthy t-cells. Adding treatment to stimulate stem cell production I believe is essential to any immune deficiency disease. However, I haven’t been in a flareup since implementing this treatment, so my belief is theoretical, but well founded.
Remission:
The
objective in remission is to heal any ulcers and scar tissue. As soon as
c-reactive protein and sedimentation rates are back to normal I would begin
this treatment. Even though I’ve been in remission for a couple years, I do the
systemic treatment regularly. Lumbar spine area seldom, but the PHT and Stem
Cell stimulation very often.
Local
treatment: 5-50 Hz Laser Stim Dose where necessary
Systemic:
- PHT 50 Hz – 5 minutes: Aorta artery above the superior
mesenteric artery
- 1000 Hz – Lumbar Spine – Laser Stim Dose
- 50 Hz 45 seconds at multiple locations on each tibia as well as the iliac
I
suggest any UC or Crohn’s sufferers to be take 500 IU and up to 1000 IU during
flareups, of vitamin D3 and 200 mcg K2 daily. D3 is a must have supplement as
well as EFAs for Crohn’s and UC.
