How Deep Does Light Penetrate?

 

 

 

It is sometimes asserted that light cannot penetrate

the human body more than a few millimeters. Therefore,

skeptics say, it is impossible to perform photodynamic

therapy (PDT) for deep-seated tumors. Yet this

statement contradicts common-sense experience. If you

put an ordinary light, such as a laser pointer, up to

your fingers, you can see the red light penetrate

right

through the bone and out the other side. Even with a

light source as weak as a flashlight, if you shine it

on your palm in a darkened room, some red light will

emerge through the other side.

 

 

The ability of light to penetrate tissues to depths

much greater than a few millimeters has been confirmed

scientifically. Dr. Harry T. Whelan of the Medical

College of Wisconsin and NASA's Marshall Space Flight

Center in Huntsville, Alabama, is an expert on the use

of light-emitting diodes in medicine. He writes:

 

 

" Spectra taken from the wrist flexor muscles in the

human forearm and muscles in the calf of the leg

demonstrate that most of the light photons at

wavelengths between 630 and 800 nanometers (nm) travel

23 centimeters (cm) through the surface tissue and

muscle between input and exit at the photon detector. "

 

 

Twenty-three centimeters is 9 inches. Logically,

therefore, if you illuminate the whole body, front and

back, light in the range of 630 to 800 nm can reach

almost any part of the human body. This is roughly the

range of wavelengths that photosensitizers absorb.

 

 

Light is visible to the human eye as the colors of the

rainbow, which have wavelengths ranging from 400 to

700

nm. Red light has the longest wavelength, ranging from

622 to 700 nm. Light at wavelengths greater than 700

nm

is characterized as infrared.

 

 

Most experimental and commercial photosensitizers

absorb light in the range of 630 to 820 nm. For

instance, Photofrin (which is approved by the Food and

Drug Administration to treat several forms of cancer)

absorbs light at 630 nm. ALA (Levulan) also absorbs at

630 nm. The experimental chlorin derivative Foscan

absorbs at 652 nm. Visudyne, which is FDA approved for

the treatment of macular degeneration, absorbs at 690

nm. Another chlorin derivative, SQN-400, absorbs in

the

infrared range at 740 nm. And certain

bacteriopurpurins

absorb light as high as 800 to 820 nm.

 

 

PhotoFlora, the agent used in Cytoluminescent Therapy

(CLT), is a chlorin derivative with an intensive

absorption band at 663 nm. It also has an intense

fluorescence reaction on tumors in the range of 658 to

688 nm. I believe that this agent is also metabolized

in the body so that it absorbs at even higher

wavelengths.

 

 

Thus, the claim that photodynamic therapy is useful

only for superficial tumors seems to me to be based on

old thinking. It is based on the experience with

first-generation photosensitizers such as Photofrin.

Second-generation agents, particularly the green

agents

based on chlorin, have the potential to treat deeper

tumors, even when the light is applied externally.

 

 

=========

 

 

CLT Progress Report

 

 

 

Patients who undergo successful cancer treatments

often

experience a period of intense malaise as the body

struggles to rid itself of large amounts of dead

tissue. This flu-like syndrome is particularly common

with certain immune-based therapies such as

interferon-alfa or interleukin-2. The same phenomenon

is now being seen with Cytoluminescent Therapy (CLT).

 

 

As Dr. William Porter, director of the CLT program at

East Clinic, has said, " The inevitable breakdown of

tumor presents a major challenge to the body. The

extent of this challenge obviously is proportionate to

the tumor load of each individual but for most

patients

it is present to greater or lesser degrees. " Symptoms

may include:

 

--Tiredness

 

--Chills and fever

 

--Flu-like symptoms

 

--Inflammation and/or irritation in areas of tumor

breakdown

 

--Discomfort in areas of tumor breakdown

 

--Night sweats

 

 

Patients with metastases in the lungs may experience

productive coughing. Patients with liver or peritoneal

spread of tumor may show signs of abdominal

tenderness,

discomfort or pain. These can be present for anywhere

from two to six months depending on tumor load.

 

 

Dr. Porter also says, " We find that it is sometimes

difficult for people to be patient with this process

but it is, after all, the essential desired effect and

reason for doing the therapy in the first place. "

 

 

Having a truly sympathetic physician who is willing to

assist the patient through this process is crucial to

the success of this treatment. The steady support of a

loving network of friends and family is also

important.

Above all, during this critical period, patients must

not lose faith in the treatment and stop taking the

oral medication, for this would interrupt the process

of killing cancer cells.

 

 

 

Who Should Not Attempt This Treatment

 

 

 

Although the treatment itself is very easy on most

patients, the aftereffects can be arduous. Therefore

CLT is not for everyone. Certain individuals should

definitely not attempt to undergo this treatment,

including patients:

 

 

--who are bedridden, non-ambulatory, or confined to

wheelchairs

 

--who are on supplemental oxygen most or all of the

time and are too sick to travel

 

--who are suffering from severe cachexia (the wasting

syndrome)

 

--who have had stents implanted for pancreatic or bile

duct cancer

 

--whose tumors compromise a major blood vessel (tumor

breakdown could lead to hemorrhaging)

 

--whose tumors involve the spinal column (removal of

the tumor could lead to collapse of the vertebrae)

 

--with the disease known as porphyria (a

light-sensitizing condition)

 

--who are clinically depressed (and are unlikely to

follow through with treatment)

 

--who are under the age of 18

 

--who are pregnant or contemplate getting pregnant

within one year of undergoing treatment (as with most

drugs, the effects of CLT on pregnancy are unknown)

 

 

It is extremely important to understand that the final

determination of who can, or cannot, be treated with

CLT remains, legally and ethically, with the medical

director of the clinic at the time the patient

arrives.

If the doctor determines that it is inadvisable to

treat the patient, then the fee (minus administrative

expenses) is immediately refunded. However, it is far

better to avoid this possibility by strictly adhering

to the inclusion criteria and informing the clinic of

any significant change in one's health status.

 

 

All patients are requested to come with a single

companion to provide physical and moral support.

Companions are not allowed in the treatment area

(where

potentially dangerous lasers are in use), although

they

are welcome to attend a variety of recreational,

supportive and educational functions.

New Development for Antineoplaston Therapy

 

 

 

I have often written favorably about a cancer

treatment

known as antineoplaston therapy pioneered by Stanislaw

Burzynski, MD. This therapy seems especially promising

for the treatment of brain tumors and non-Hodgkin's

lymphoma. But a major limitation was that

antineoplastons were available only at the Burzynski

Research Institute, Dr. Burzynski's outpatient

facility

in Houston, Texas.

 

 

I have been informed that antineoplastons will be

available in Baja California, Mexico, at Sanoviv

Health

Retreat. I think this is an exciting development. I

haven't been to Sanoviv, but have heard that it is a

luxurious inpatient facility. If this pans out,

patients can combine this innovative form of peptide

therapy with Sanoviv's holistic approach to healing.

My

staff and I would be interested in hearing from any

patients who do attend this program.

Dear Group,

 

I mention this with a certain amount of trepidation.

 

I am going to post here what I have been experiencing in the hopes

to discuss it without getting off into the woo-woo areas of natural

healing.

 

A friend of mine brought me a handheld infra red lamp from China last

fall. These lamps are very popular in Asia, particularly in Japan and

China, but generally much more so than in the west.

 

In the USA, the infra red lamps are believed to only be good for

generating a form of heat for muscles. aches, etc.

 

I started using the inra red lamp very cautiously, but it felt very

good to me, so with some apprehension and caution I used it more and

more.

 

It felt like it was doing much more than just warming my body, or if

just warming, it seemed to have longer lingering effects that made me

feel stronger, healthier, and more biologically balanced.

 

Over the last few years, I became aware of the essential necessity

for light (natural light) for health, both mental and physical.

 

We all know that sunlight is composed of various wavelengths across a

specrum, etc and they have various effects on us, with infra red as

one of them.

 

I suspected that there maybe some health benefits to infra red and I

read quite a bit on the web, but most was limited to the benefit

of " heat " due I believe to limits on health claims by variuos

governmental authorities.

 

I ran across one book in English and printed in Japan, written about

it called " Overcoming Cancer And Other Diseases In A Holistic Way " by

a layperson named Tomeko Mitsui and translated by Kazuko Tatsumara

Hillyer.

 

The book only covers treatment by infra red so it may be somwhat

misnamed to call it holistic, except it does cover " mind " treatment

as well. It does speak of " Chi " or " Qi " (Japanese " Ki " )for those of

you who know what I am taliking about.

 

The book is short on theory and long on diagrams etc., but the

newsletters by Ralpth Moss, ( I included one of his newsletters about

it after this message) describing how heat effects cancer cells and

also showing how the wavelengths of the lumin therapy is mainly in

the infra red range and how it does penatrate to a signifigant depth

into the body, much more than believed by popular opinion, causes me

to look at it with more serious eyes. Well, that coupled with the

feedback from my body.

 

Are there any members in the group who has read anything in this vein

or has used a similiar lamp seriously for some time?

 

I have my doubts about it alone curing major disease, without some

additional ingredient such as Moss talks about, but as an adjunct

therapy it feels like it is helping me balance, strengthen and seems

to be helping me get well.

 

Anyone out there that can help me sheld more light on the subject,

without going off the deep end? lol.

 

thanks,

 

Frank

Hi Frank: We tried the IR sauna a a local holist centre and it feels great.

They give the pitch but it's not documented just a whole lot of anechdotal

results.

Lots of info at Google, just enter " infra red sauna " .

I have a box type far infrared (FIR) sauna. I bought it about 4

years ago, when developing a program for fibromyalgia and learned of

possible benefits of this type heat for increasing circulation and

metabolism. I have not used the box FIR sauna for over a year, but I

take a FIR sauna about once a week.

 

I'll share some of the physical observations that I have seen from

taking a FIR sauna.

 

My body feels very warm but the air does not get hot. When I put my

face close to the heating elements (about 6 in. away) my face feels

very warm but when breathing this close to the heat source, the mucus

membranes in my nose do not become dry or irritated. The warmth that

is felt in the flesh is not a tranfer of heat from hot air to the

body. The heat that is felt is generated internally from the FIR

waves penetrating the body.

 

The FIR heat causes my body to sweat a lot, at a temperature about

30% lower than conventional hot air saunas. When I take a hot bath,

the skin in the hot water will turn pinkish in color as blood flow to

the skin is increased to cool the skin and regulate internal body

temperature. When I take a FIR sauna, though I may perspire quite a

bit, the skin color does not appear to change. This may be due to

the lower temperature of the FIR sauna. I'm sure that blood flow in

increased in the FIR sauna, though it does not seem to increase as

much to the skin, as compared to visible effects of a hot bath.

 

I have also noticed a temporary lightening in eye color when using

the FIR sauna. My normal eye color is blue-green. After a sauna

session there appears to be more of a bluish tint to color of the

iris. The whites of the eye will sometimes have a slightly pinkish

tint. Within about an hour the color or the whites and iris return

to normal.

 

Another thing that I have noticed is that bowel activity is increased

when I sauna, so in some way the heat may be helping increase

intestinal motility. Although, this could be related to the amount

of water I drink when I sauna. I drink 1/2 gallon of water when I

sauna. This is in addition to the normal 1/2 gallon of water that I

drink daily (on avg.).

 

As for pain relief or relaxation, it has certainly helped in those

areas but those are more subjective since there is no way to measure

any concrete change. I suppose if a person were to do a tissue

biopsy before and after sauna use, a comparative difference could be

made. According to some websites the composition of sweat produced

by the FIR sauna has a greater concentration of toxic subtances so I

guess this is something that could be measured. Again, I have no way

to measure this. Anyway...

 

Rather than use the box sauna, I prefer to use 2 stand alone FIR

heaters in a small room (bathroom). This allows me to turn off the

light. I find the dark, warm, environment better for relaxation and

meditation. The box sauna is hardwired so that the light is on when

the sauna is operating. (I could probably muck around with the wiring

to change this.)

 

Benefits of using the stand alone heaters, beside being much less

expensive (about 1/10th the cost, about what the shipping costs for

the box sauna was.), are: The stand alone heaters can be used to

provide FIR heat in a room in the house, which is what they were

designed for. When not in use they can easily be stored away and are

very portable. The box sauna permanently takes up about a 6'X6'

chunk of floorspace and is a royal pain whenever I have to move it.

 

Here are a couple links that the more technically minded may find

interesting.

reactions.
