Practitioners have been using therapeutic lasers clinically in Europe, Asia, and North America for over 35 years. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration classifies cold lasers as a "non-significant risk device." We have expert knowledge of the main indications for this method of treatment. We understand Opto-electronics, basics of laser physics, and construction of lasers. Lasers are an ideal modality to safely stimulate acupoints to aid those suffering from nicotine addiction.
The cold laser produces a beam of light at a high wavelength utilizing low energy. There are specific wavelengths at variable pulse rates applied for varied photobiostimulation. The laser is focused on multiple acupoints. This causes the release of endorphins into the body and causes stress reduction. Endorphins are the body's natural opiates and mood enhancer's. By blocking nicotine receptors in the brain, the endorphin release allows the patient to cease nicotine intake without the withdrawal symptoms.
Cold lasers are extremely safe because the laser light/radiation has no effect on healthy cells and are not capable of inducing thermal changes in the skin tissue. Laser therapy will quickly help to activate the body's innate communication system which is a more thorough treatment with maximum effectiveness. There are over seventy five trillion cells in a human body which need electrons to communicate with each other. Laser light delivers these required electrons and photons (energy packets with wave and particle properties) directly to the cells and enhances both their ability to communicate with each other and their ability to produce ATP (Adenine Tri Phosphate).
Increased energy to the cells increases cellular metabolism and the production of enzymes that reduce inflammation. Worldwide research, tests and studies have shown conclusively that cold laser light restores balance, energy and nutrient, oxygen permeability to sick cells thus resulting in accelerated healing and regeneration.
This healing is additionally supported by the lasers ability to cause key enzymes and hormones to be secreted. Cold laser therapy can effect electromagnetic and quantum processes which compliments the biochemical model of modern medicine.
Our proprietary cold laser auriculotherapy treatment protocol targets nicotine receptors in the brain: The alpha-7 nicotinic receptor.
The breadth of the brains inventory of nicotine receptors is large. Receptors are like docking stations allowing molecules to attach to a cell and set a chain of events in motion. Usually each molecule lodges in a specific receptor on a cell. In the case of nicotine, only nicotine molecules attach to many nicotinic receptors. Normally in a tobacco free existence these receptors are not sitting around waiting for nicotine. They are made for acetylcholine, a powerful neurotransmitter associated in the brain with attention, learning, and memory. Nicotine is an impostor for acetylcholine in smokers. Nicotine is a sloppy drug that acts at all these receptors. The receptors adapt to chronic exposure over the long term.
Cigarette smoke assaults lung tissue by introducing highly reactive compounds known variously as free radicals, oxidants or reactive oxygen species. Long-term smoking and the accumulation of free radicals lead to inflammation and cell death, destroying lung tissues. Breathing smoke causes extensive oxidative damage in the lung tissue. The damage caused by exposure to cigarette smoke assaults lung tissue by introducing highly reactive compounds known as free radicals, oxidants or reactive oxygen species. Long term smoking and accumulation of free radicals lead to inflammation of and cell death, destroying lung tissues.
Cigarettes are highly addictive both physically and mentally. The negative physiological and psychological effects are devastating. Addiction to nicotine leads to almost half a million deaths each year. Smoking cigarettes causes lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which encompasses emphysema and chronic bronchitis and too many other problems to mention here. A smoking habit means you are paying thousands of dollars annually to shorten your life span and severely decrease your quality of life.
Corrective action must be taken immediately.
Dr. Koop,
The Surgeon General of the United States,
stated that nicotine has an addictiveness similar to that of heroin or cocaine.

A Brief history of the LASER
HELIOTHERAPY is treatment with sunlight.
LIFE needs LIGHT just as it needs AIR, FOOD & WATER. Since the dawn of time, it has been used by the ancients to promote the age old belief of Sound Mind, Sound Body.
1700's
Isaac Newton first separated light with a prism and discovered the visible spectrum. Newton demonstrated the wave character of light.
1900's
At the turn of the last century, A Nobel Prize was awarded to a Danish doctor for using ultraviolet light in successful medical treatments. While developing the Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein theorized the laser. L.A.S.E.R. stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. He proposed that when a proper photon collides with a properly excited atom, two photons of the same energy level would be emitted.
1960's
Howard Hughes founded an aircraft research laboratory where Theodore Maiman created what Einstein imagined and constructed the first laser in 1960. Maiman produced a ruby laser spurring rapid growth and fast development. Shortly thereafter, far away in Western Europe, Endre Mester, the father of laser therapy, published his findings in an obscure Hungarian medical journal. Sociopolitical factors caused Hungarians to research in isolation for a decade.
1970's
During the Seventies, the Soviet Union and China rapidly adapted laser therapy and Canadian researchers concluded that therapeutic lasers offer a viable alternative to traditional needle acupuncture.
1980's
During the Eighty's, laser therapy became rapidly popular in Europe with the development of solid state laser diodes. America was late to adapt the technology partially due to sociopolitical factors. All of the research was published in multiple foreign languages.
1990's
In 1993 the Independent Institutional review Board for Laser Acupuncture Research was established in Boston, Massachusetts. In 1997 the U.S. National Institute of Health gave approval to the practice of acupuncture. The North American Association for Laser Therapy (NAALT) was established in 1998 to review photobiological mechanisms, basic laser physics, treatment parameters, techniques, scientific and clinical laser communities and regulatory issues.
2000's
There are over 30,000 treatments using therapeutic lasers which have been in practice and studied for over 35 years. There are over 2,500 studies and papers already published with thousands of practitioners using therapeutic lasers clinically in Europe, Asia, and North America. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration classifies cold lasers as a "non-significant risk device." The FDA has approved a few therapeutic lasers for specific, limited applications and is currently conducting clinical trials for smoking cessation.
Acupuncture & Auriculotherapy
Acupuncture is one of the modalities of Oriental medicine which is the world's oldest, continually practiced, professional medicine. Its written history stretches back not less than 2,500 years and its practice is undoubtedly much older than that. Acupuncture points have been mapped by the Chinese over a period of two thousand years, and there are more than a thousand known acupoints. In the past three decades, electromagnetic research has confirmed the existence and location of all these acupuncture points. In 1997 the U.S. National Institute of Health gave approval to the practice of acupuncture.
Ear acupuncture has been practiced for over 2000 years. Auriculotherapy, the treatment of ear acupoints, dates back to 500 B.C. Naturopathic practitioners observed that the ear can be compared to an inverted fetus. The efficacy of Auriculotherapy has been evaluated and it is an effective form of pain relief and addiction treatment.

We are actively lobbying congress and major health insurance carriers to cover our Cold LASER Auriculotherapy treatment protocol as a preventative maintenance procedure. The current administration seems to be receptive to preventative healthcare and we are optimistic.
Lasers & Biophotons
Energetic medicine is based on the theory of BIOPHOTONS. There is an intricate web of cells that comprise the human energy field which transmits and receives energy across the electromagnetic spectrum. Biophotons are coherent, directional, monochromatic, and organized light which originate from the DNA of cells. Biophotons activate and direct our physiological processes at the speed of light. Biophotons are similar to a laser beam in this way. A laser amplifies light. It requires an energy source, an amplifying medium and a pair of mirrors where one is fully reflective and the other is partially reflective.
L.A.S.E.R. stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A population inversion in the contained medium provides a reservoir of highly charged atoms and photons to sustain laser emission. A laser has the unique property of coherence. The light beam is both directional and in phase. Laser light is also monochromatic and emits pure light at a specific wavelength. Wavelengths are measured in nanometers and concentrate greater power in smaller wavelengths.
The power density of a laser beam is inversely proportional to its spot size. Therapeutic lasers utilize non-ionizing radiation. A laser is a device which produces electromagnetic radiation in the light band. Application of low levels of electromagnetic energy influences cellular physiology. When a photon is delivered, energy is absorbed and it changes to heat oscillations. Low level visible red helium neon lasers with high energy density of laser light provide electromagnetic radiation. This is a form of energy FLUX which can be understood in two ways ... a) partially as a wave…b) partially as a flow of particles. Absorbed energy may get new forms of heat oscillations. Light is a wave like motion where the photon oscillations take place in polarizing plane.
Skin is permeable at the optical window. The laser light causes photobiostimulation at astounding depths of penetration. The dosage is critical for effective results. After diagnosis of the patient, the practitioner must determine the correct dosage by considering the following variables: Wavelength (constant or pulse), milliwatts, seconds and frequency. The acupuncturist will detect and locate hot points with an electro dermal measurement device and prescribe treatment intervals.
LASER Auriculotherapy
Laser auriculotherapy targets acupoints in the ear and meridian points in the body. The ear acts as a reflex point. Auriculotherapy focuses on the use of the ear as a localized reflex technique that modulates the central nervous system and endocrine organs. Auriculotherapy derives it’s explanations for effectiveness from both Western neurology and traditional oriental medicine.
Western Neurological studies have observed that the ear provides access to the endocrine and autonomic nervous systems. It has been effective in creating relaxation of many physiological systems, which can reduce pain, stress and cravings. Lasers are an ideal modality to safely stimulate these points to aid those suffering from nicotine addiction. Naturopathic practitioners observed that the ear can be compared to an inverted fetus.
Auriculotherapy is a complimentary medicine and is effective as part of a multidisciplinary treatment approach. The efficacy of Auriculotherapy has been evaluated and it is an effective form of pain relief and addiction treatment. The nervous system is composed of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) conveys impulses from the blood vessels, the heart, and all of the organs in the chest, abdomen, and pelvis through nerves to other parts of the brain. These impulses elicit largely automatic or reflex responses, thereby promoting appropriate reactions of the heart, the vascular system, and all the organs of the body to variations in environmental temperature, posture, food intake, and stressful experiences. Thus the autonomic nervous system is a regulator of homeostasis and balances the body’s nervous and hormone systems.
There are two major components of the autonomic nervous system, the sympathetic and the parasympathetic systems. The sympathetic nervous system stimulates physical activity, “fight or flight” responses, and heavy emotion. Stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system, on the other hand creates relaxation, healing, digestion, and sexual arousal. One reason that this nervous system is so intimately involved with laser auriculotherapy is because these nervous pathways convey stimuli resulting in largely unconscious, reflex, bodily adjustments such as in the digestive functions of the stomach and intestines, the rate and depth of respiration, and dilation or constriction of the blood vessels. Thus they can aid in the regulation of eating and smoking addictions. The ear can be used to treat health conditions in many parts of the body. The points in the ear connect to reflex centers in the brain that send neurological stimulation to the spinal cord and the rest of the body. This is especially profound in regards to the stimulation and balancing of the sympathetic and parasympathetic parts of the central nervous system.
Auricular reflexes are activated when health problems in a specific part of the body induce reflex reactions in the external ear, manifested as localized changes in tenderness, circulation, and electrical activity medical problems cause changes in the pain level of these ear reflex points. Endorphins are naturally occurring morphine-like molecules that relieve pain in a manner similar to opiates. LASER Auriculotherapy causes the systemic release of endorphins into the blood while balancing the autonomic nervous system.
The health condition of smoking addiction can be affected by stimulating the ear points and facilitating a balancing of the autonomic nervous system and endocrine systems LASER Auriculotherapy can lead to improvement in the functioning of the human body. Stimulation of specific ear reflex points that correspond to a particular area of the body may correct imbalances of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system while creating a feeling of wellness and relaxation. The affect is to create a more balanced neurological and hormonal condition throughout the body. There are physiological changes which effect smoking cessation.
